Re: [A/S] Re: univolt buzz, batteries discharged, water pump



Nick,
What would be a good procedure for checking the brake magnets? 
Continuity would tell you if you have an open line or coil. But how 
would you check for a weak magnet? Can it be done without taking the 
wheel off? Do I need to connect it to the tow veh and read actual 
current they are drawing? All of them at once or each one individually? 
Or am I looking for voltage drop across each coil? What readings am I 
looking for? I have learn how to do some analytical work on the brakes 
and controller right now or take it in and let a  rv mechanic do it.
Thanks,
Ebert Steele
