What happens here

After confirming the severe delay with the Ford truck, the driver proceeds to inspect the electrical connections on the Diamond C LPX trailer. He opens the access panel on the trailer's tongue, which houses the wiring. He discovers poorly executed splices and exposed wiring connections, indicating a potential issue with the trailer's electrical integrity. He notes that these connections were likely done by a previous owner or repair shop, suggesting improper repair practices that could lead to intermittent electrical problems and the observed brake delay. He reflects on his prior, unnecessary expense of replacing the Ford's factory harness and controller due to earlier misdiagnosis.

Goal: Locate visible faults in the trailer's electrical system.
