Have just returned
home from a fishing holiday with my caravan however i am thinking that my electric brakes are not working properly asthe green light on controller is not coming on when i hook up but orange/red light is blinking when i apply brakes and brakes are jerking. Although i came through
Sydney at a busy period i did not have to brake hard i am towing a coromal 505 (16 1/2 feet) with a 3.2Did pajero.What i would like to know is the best way to
check them if i hook up tthe brake connection to a spare battery and use a
test lamp will that show me if i have a damaged lead without burning my wiring. I did run overa branch of a tree on the road that made quite a whack underneath.
Fishing wasnt that great but will try again

Harry,
Can't help you with the brake controller but nice to know you have such good taste in rigs!
I too, have Pajero DiD (NP) and tow a Coromal Seka 505.
Mine is the Pioneer XC dirt road version. I have a Hayman Reese Controller that only has one red light.
I'd be interested to know if you have done any mods to the van such as dust sealing around the fridge or rewiring to the fridge with heavier guage cable . If you have a house battery have you done anything there such rewiring with heavier cable or installing electronic gear to boost the voltage at the battery terminals while driving.
