• Troubleshooting Titian Actuator with Electric Lockout Not Working When Backing up Driveway
  If your electric lockout solenoid on your Titan actuator isn't engaging when you are backing up your driveway then either the wiring is broken so it isn't receiving the signal or the solenoid has gone bad and it needs replacing. Check the wiring and if it looks good then the solenoid itself it likely the culprit and you would need part # T4748800 for Titan Model 6, Model 60, Aero 7500, and newer Model 10 and Model 20 actuators. If you have a 2000 or older Model 10 actuator, the adapter...

• Adding Electric Lockout and 5-Way to Trailer with Titan Model 60 Actuator
  To add an electric lockout to your Titan Model 60 actuator only requires the part # T4748800 and then if you wanted to add a shroud to protect the lock out you'd also need the part # T4835800183. To activate the electric lock out you need a reverse light circuit carried to it. Typically a 5-way is needed for this to carry the extra circuit. For a 5-way you'd then want the part # W002290 which you can replace your 4-way with. For a 7-way to a 5-way adapter then you'd want the part #...

• Signs that Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuator with Reverse Lockout #T4748800 Needs Replacement
  I spoke with my contact over at Titan and while they couldn't provide the actual ohm reading you'd get when testing the Replacement Solenoid Valve # T4748800, he did give some information that may be helpful. You'll need another person to help you verify this first one, but when you put the vehicle in reverse you should be hearing a distinct snapping noise. If you don't hear a snap when trying to back up, the solenoid is bad and will need replacing. He also mentioned that this solenoid...

• How to Back Up Trailer with Surge Brake Model 60 Actuator Installed
  The issue is that with the way a surge coupler works when backing up, normally up hill, the trailer is pushing the other way which will cause the actuator to compress in sending fluid back to engage the brakes. This makes it very difficult or impossible sometimes to back the trailer up. Your Titan Model 60 actuator would need to have a lockout solenoid installed on it so that it could back up. For that you'd need the Titan solenoid part # T4748800 and you'd be able to back the traler...

• Adding Reverse Lockout to Trailer with Titan Model 60 Actuator
  I really wish there was a cheap and easy way to lock out a Titan model 60 actuator but the only way would be with an electric lock out like the part # T4748800. This threads onto the back of your current actuator and once ran to the reverse light circuit it will allow your trailer to backup without locking up the brakes. You will need to replace your current 4-way with a 5-way like part # HM47910. And then to convert the 4-way on your tow vehicle you'd need the adapter part # 20036...

• Troubleshooting Reverse Lockout Solenoid on 2001 Stratos Boat Trailer with Surge Brake Actuator
  Since you have voltage going to the electric reverse lockout solenoid, I'd check that solenoid's ground wire connection. If that connection is good, then you will need to replace the solenoid with # T4748800. If that ground connection is not good, you will need to clean it and possibly relocate it. You need to make sure the ground is a bare metal to metal connection free of debris, corrosion, or rust. Once you have a clean connection, I recommend putting either paint on it to protect...

• Using Front Hitch To Move Trailer With Hydraulic Surge Brakes
  If you have a manual lockout, you will be able to use that and navigate with your front hitch without any wiring. If you have an electric lockout, you will need to supply 12 volts to that solenoid to release the brakes. I'd suggest getting a matching connector for your trailer like # PK11893 or # HM47900 and hardwiring the reverse wire directly to your battery and run a ground wire to the negative battery terminal from the connector. This will allow you to have that single function to...

• Normally Open Reverse Lockout Solenoid for Disc Trailer Brakes
  The normally open style like # T4748800, will only prevent fluid from going back to trailer brakes when you put the vehicle in reverse. Once the vehicle is in reverse, the normally open solenoid will close and allow you to back up without the brakes engaging. On a normally open system, you will need to be careful when backing up because if you hit a curb or another object it could add even more pressure to the master cylinder and could possibly damage it. A normally closed system...

• Installed New Brake Solenoid on Trailer and Now Fuse Keeps Blowing When Trying to Use Brakes
  Sounds like you have a short somewhere in the system. Recheck where you wired the solenoid, # T4748800, to make sure that wiring is not frayed and touching any area of your trailer. Make sure that the ground has a good connection. Is you spliced in to the existing wires during install, check this wiring for any damage and bad grounds. All grounds should be connected to bare metal on the trailer frame. Any rust, dirt, or grease will corrupt the connection and cause issue with the unit.

• Is an Electric Reverse Lock Out Required for Backing Up a Trailer with Surge Brakes
  There are 3 ways to allow a trailer with surge brakes to back up. There can be an electric reverse lockout, a manual lockout, or you can use free-backing brake assemblies if the brakes are drums. The easiest and most-preferred method is the electric reverse lockout like what comes on the Titan Model 6 part # T4747220. Or for just the lockout you would want the part # T4748800. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the free backing brakes we offer.

• How to Wire Titan # T4748800 Reverse Lock-Out Solenoid Valve
  The Titan Replacement Reverse Lockout Solenoid you mentioned is extremely easy to wire. The solenoid has two wires exiting it. One wire grounds to the trailer tongue, the other would connect to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle. Once wired, the solenoid will close when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse, preventing the trailer brakes from applying when the trailer is backed. Since it sounds like both your vehicle and trailer have a 4-pole connector, you'll need to install...

• Brakes Lock Up in Reverse But Will Not Work While Moving Forward with Titan Model 10 Brake Actuator
  I spoke with my contact at Dexter who owns Titan and they informed me that there could be a few different issues. If they are drum brakes and they were just installed then most likely they are installed on the wrong side of the trailer as this is the most common issue with this problem. The reverse solenoid part # T4748800 could also be installed backwards as this would then shut off the flow of fluid while going forward but not backward. If the actuator still does not work once you...

• How to Wire an Electric Reverse Lockout on a Trailer to Work with a Vehicle that has a 4-Way Flat
  Since you have a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will need to add a 5-Way flat adapter, # 20036, to the vehicle and a 5-Way flat, # HM47910, on the trailer if you want the electric reverse lockout to work. On the vehicle side, the extra wire will connect to a reverse light wire. On the trailer side, the extra wire will attach to one of the wires on the solenoid. The other solenoid wire will need to be grounded to the trailer frame. I have included a link to a video showing a typical...

• Is a Reverse Electric Lockout Needed on a Boat Trailer with Titan Model 60 Actuator
  The issue is that with the way a surge coupler works when backing up, normally up hill, the trailer is pushing the other way which will cause the actuator to compress in sending fluid back to engage the brakes. This makes it very difficult or impossible sometimes to back the trailer up. There are 2 kinds of lock outs to prevent this, a manual which is built into an actuator and prevents the coupler from pushing in, and there is the electric type.

• Troubleshooting Titan Surge Disc Brake Actuator
  It could be that your reverse lockout solenoid needs replacement. Part # T4748800 is the replacement part. But I suspect your master cylinder is the cause for the brakes staying locked up until you release the pressure from the bleed valve on one of the calipers. You can check your master cylinder to see if the piston returns to its normal position after you manually compress it. If not you will want to replace it with part # T4747100 which fits the model 10 disc actuator. For the same...
