[A/S] Re: Hooking power to F250




Up front I'll admit that my hands are useless when it
comes to repairs.  I just got a Reese brake controller
installed on my new F250 PSD.  I went to the trailer
to set the brakes, and found that the power cord is
loose in the plug.  This is to the point that it can't
maintain a connection.

My wife if the fixer upper in the family, and she
wants to take some pliers to the pins to try to
provide a frim connection.  Her alternative is to try
to jerry rig some masking tape just so the trailer
brakes will work long enough to get me to the RV shop
so they can fix it.

I'm concerned about monkeying with the plug, but I've
never towed the trailer without its brakes hooked up. 
If y'all have any suggestions I'd appreciate them.
