Like Peter said, prolly just leftover oil in there, take them off and give them and the contact areas a good cleaning.

Sounds typical.
Last trip out that I had, my brake controller (Prodigy) wouldn't release the brakes and I ended up with smoking hot brakes on the trailer before I realized what was happening. Unplugging the Prodigy and reconnecting it (reboot) fixed it for now, but I no longer trust it.
Then a capacitor exploded in my power converter for the trailer.
Had to drive two hours one way just to get something that works but won't fit and be able to finish out the vacation and still have some lights.

I'm glad you had fun on your vacation. Mine was great, too.

Just have to be ready for those monkeywrenches that always appear!

I did clean all the oil off the boots twice plus tryed the hair spray trick and they were still sliding off. I will just look into buying new ones.

Yeah Dan I swear at times the brakes were holding me back. I couldn't get out of a snails way. And my display on my Prodigy was flashing like crazy. I don't realy like when things go wrong when I'm on the road. Guess I need a list from the RHN..

You lost a couple pounds of boost with that WW, you will notice that in performance. I know times are tuff but shoot for the DP or another top notch tuner, PHP, Tony, ect, major difference than running the SC programmer, I know.
