My trailer brake service light is on and my trailer brakes don’t work . That’s about all I can think of and haven’t been able to figure out the fix.
Service trailer brakes soon, warning comes across display & loss of trailer brakes without warning. I was driving on a bright sunny day, dry roads, traffic ahead of me came to a stop. I was pulling a 7,000 pound travel trailer stepped on brake all was fine 1 minute, service trailer brake soon warning display came across & no trailer brakes & almost caused an accident. As long as the display says service trailer brakes soon, you have no trailer brakes, there is no warning or back up system just hope for the best, just glad I wasn't going down a mountain. This time I went to have oil changed & service trailer brakes soon displayed & truck ran rough. Took it to the dealership, after 3 days at dealership, mechanic says the "fuel pump flow control module" has to be replaced, same as in recall # 14515b. This warning will also display without trailer connection & vehicle power loss happens until restarted. This is dangerous as there's no warning or certain situation or weather condition that makes this any different. This happens whether your city or highway driving, doesn't matter.
Failure of cruise control and trailer braking system while braking. Issue was a break in the wiring harness under the dash causing a short. Broken wire still had insulator in tact as if new. This seems to be an issue due to type or undersized wire as this is the second harness failure on the truck.
