So my 20 year old Road Boss trailer has electric brakes I assume on all 4 wheels. I have only worked on surge brakes for boat trailers.
I assume it has a magnet, brake shoe and drum. I see online they sell kits to replace all the guys for $200 or so. Times two axles. Now it's expensive.
What typically breaks with the electric brakes? The trailer has been used once or twice a year. I assume I can buy all the parts individually? Does the magnet ever break.
Maybe just all rusted up? Maybe they work and I cannot tell?
How to test? Just apply 12V to the brake wire of the trailer connector?
