What happens here
To unequivocally confirm that the trailer's brakes themselves are functional and that the issue lies solely with the Ford F-250, the driver connects the Diamond C LPX trailer to a black Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck (equipped with a snow plow). He tests the trailer brakes using both the manual brake controller and the foot pedal. The hydraulic brakes on the trailer respond immediately and correctly with both methods, demonstrating that the trailer's mechanical and hydraulic brake components are functional. This direct comparison validates that the trailer's braking system is working correctly and that the previous delay was specifically related to the Ford F-250's integration with the trailer's electrical system, reinforcing the suspicion that the Ford truck has an underlying electrical issue that was previously overlooked.
Goal: Isolate the trailer brake issue to the original tow vehicle by testing with a different truck.
