Hi all. My electric brakes have been working fine for a long time, but yesterday I noticed that the brakes seemed to stay energised when I got out of the car with no brake pedal pushed. I have the Tow Pro Elite and know it has a park brake function so thought it might be that. Then when driving it seemed as though the van brakes would apply without me pressing the brake pedal - all I needed to do was turn the brake controller dial to a higher setting (not press it).
I did the globe test on the car and it works perfectly, so wanting to test the van plug. What resistance should I be seeing on the electric brake pin for a dual axle? I'm measuring 1.3ohms at the moment. With nothing connected this is what I get so far:
1 Left Indicator 11k ohm
2 12v 5.3k ohm
3 Ground (ground to chassis is 0.5 ohm)
4 Right Indicator 11.5k ohm
5 Electric Brakes 1.3 ohms
6 Stop Lamp 9.2k ohm
7 Tail Lamps 3.8 ohm
