I intermittently lose trailer brakes when towing my trailers on my 2023 Ford f350. I have two trailers and both trailers give me intermittent faults saying "trailer disconnected' or "trailer turn signal lights not working", but the trailer is connected and the lights are working - but the brakes do not. I know this is a truck issue because both trailers have no issues with my 2017 Toyota tundra. I have independently tested this theory with both trucks and trailers multiple times but only have the issue on the Ford truck. It seems to either be a bad 7-pin connector that randomly faults, or something with the trailer brake controller. It is very scary as I do not want to lose brakes when towing. I bought this truck specifically for towing my trailers. I have taken the issue to auburn Ford, here in auburn California and they tested the truck and found no issues. But my hunch is they are only using a 7-pin simulator, not an actual trailer.
