I got my local dealer to look at it. They found two wires with all the insulation rubbed off… bare wires showing. They replaced it all and no more issues. I did a 2000 mile round trip and no issues, just good working brakes the whole way.

I sure hope this isn’t the case for me. I haven’t worked on a drum brake since… high school in the 80’s. Seems like that technology has been superseded and shouldn’t be in use anymore.

I changed the connector, so now I’m gonna drive it and see if it comes back. Next thing to look at would be the brakes/magnets.

I actually have seen both warnings… and in fact it did disconnect my trailer brakes. How did you resolve this or even inspect to determine this was the cause? BTW, someone else mentioned this too. So I want to check it out.

The trailer connector seems to have super flimsy/ loose contacts. I just ordered a new trailer wiring harness. I’m going to try that. I tried using a small screwdriver to tighten them up a bit, but they are so flimsy that they didn’t stay that way. You can see from the picture that the gaps are...

I am pulling a brand new 2025 Alliance Valor TH 5th wheel with my 2023 Ram Dually. And i am getting this trailer brake disconnected and then it reconnects then disconnects etc. Alliance claims its a ram problem or maybe it’s some feedback from the solar panels on the camper sending a charge up...

On my 2021 3500 there was a ”trailer lights test“ selection that would cycle through the lights while you walked around your trailer to check the lights. On my 2023 I cannot find the same option! Both are limited models…. Not sure if it’s me or if there was a deletion on the new Ram. Thanks...

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

yes the holes, and to the 7 pin in the bed.

I’ve been looking around on this site and do not understand where y’all are going for info/ updates etc. Can you tell me what the codes mean? D, D1, KZ, etc. Also what is the significance of looking up my VIN? And how do I do it? Or can you do it for me? I ordered my truck on 2/11...

How do you check the status? I ordered my 3500 on 2/11. I have a vin but don’t really know how to check status. Thanks in advance!
