Break away switch not workin

[steve and Melanie]

Noticed that when you pull the pin the brakes are not coming on but they work fine from the truck any ideas

Is your camper's battery hooked up and charged? That's where the break-away switch would get it's power from.

Check with a test light if when you have the pin pulled you have power in & out on the wires.

I have a 2017 Voltage 3605. My brake away pin got pulled and the switch and the wires started smoking . I disconnected the battery and replaced the switch, I pulled the pin on the new one to make sure I had 12 volts coming out of the switch , after a few seconds the new switch started smoking, I replaced the pin and the switch cooled down. Is anyone else having the same problem. Thanks Denny

just a thought that the wire is shorted somewhere between the switch and the brakes

[DENNY]

That's my though also , The switch only transfers 12 volts from the battery to the brakes and should not get hot and start smoking . I have an appointment with the Dealer. Thanks Denny

Easiest way to check is with a magnetic compass, if there is power the compass needle will move when you get close to the hub assy..
If it does not move then there is no power.
