Thumbs down Trailer Brakes- not working.

I bought the truck used and the brake box has never worked.

Is this some sort of faulty wiring that the previous owner rigged up?

Or have these brake controllers been known to go out?

Thanks,

WB

When you say it doesn't work, what are the syptoms?

When a trailer is attached and plugged-in, does the LED light glow?

It could be just the wire going to the fuse block or power source came un-attached.
