How do I test my electric brakes?
June 28th, 2015

Testing can be done by pulling the breakaway cable which will activate the brakes via the small battery usually located near the front of the trailer. This will test not only the service brakes but also the emergency brakes. To test the service brakes only, slide the thumb switch fully which should apply full brakes to each applicable wheel with brakes; test while driving slowly in a vacant parking lot.
