Lost two brakes on the trailer
We pulled out of NY on Sat and I noticed the Jordan brake control numbers go from 9 at maximum depression to 5.6 and felt the trailer was not braking as it should. Got under the trailer yesterday and found the front axles brakes were not humming with brakes engaged. Upon crawling under I found a broken wire on the front axle. Repair and now back to 9 Amps on the meter. Jordan did its job helping detect a problem.
All have a safe trip.
