Well I am glad the BIRD started this section and I am glad to have FSM around. So here goes my problem.
A week ago we took the 4 wheelers on the trailer behind the Raptor down to Enid, MS to ride in the lake bottoms. Well I took the Raptor to the shop, picked up the trailer and come back home. Loaded up Sunday morning and drove down (no problems).
When we get ready to come home, the instrument cluster says Trailer Wiring Fault. I thought some retard that was with me stepped on the cord. I stopped on the on ramp on I-55 and checked it, everything is fine. Hmmmmmmmm, get in truck still says that. I said **** IT and drove on. I was goin down the road and my buddy said "do you smell that". I then smelled the smell, I looked back and saw a cloud of dust/smoke. I just thought it was dust off the wheelers at first, no it was the trailer brakes. It was not grabbing enough to lock up or drag the truck, but enough to grab and burn and stink.
Well I unpluged it, got back in the truck and the instrument still said Trailer Wiring Fault. I had to cycle thru the screen until it cleared.
The next day I hooked the trailer up to my F-250 with the intergrated brake control and it worked just fine, so I know it is not in the trailer. I talked to the parts man at my dealer and he said that one other F-150 came in there with the same problem. What do ya think FSM, anyone else have had this problem?
