Re: [A/S] Brake Controller
Dear List:
I have been having trouble with my brakes (1997 Excella Classes 21') not
releasing after any degree of braking. For some time I have thought this
meant the brakes needed some sort of adjustment, but after your e mail I am
thinking a replacement of the brake controller is the answer.
Let me explain a bit of how the brakes are currently operating:
When driving downhill I move the controller adjustment to increase breaking
power, and in the city and on the freeway I set the controller lower to
minimize braking power. If I forget to minimize the braking power on the
controller to the bare minimum, the trailer brakes lock and force skidding,
sliding, and screeching.
Is the answer to this a brake adjustment or a new brake controller?
Sincerely,
Robert
