| Yes.. install somekind of "lock" to disable the breaks. |

| Your Surge Brakes should be on both Axcels and have an Electric lockout that should be acctivated by the Backup light pin on your 7 wire connector. If the trailer only came with a flat 5 pin like a lot of them do. Just sut it off go to Wally World and buy a 7 pin to replace it. It will fit the 7 pin that is on your truck bumper The center pin Extra/Aux doubles as a Backup light circut. Put a Meter on it to confirm.. This unlocks the surge brake when you put it in reverse.  |
