Should There be Continuity with the Brake Controller and Ground Pins on a Vehicle 7-Way Connector
Published 10/26/2018
Question:
Should there be continuity between the 12v brake wire and ground.
asked by: Tom M
Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, when your brake controller is sending power back to your 7-Way connector you should have continuity with a Multimeter # PT89ZR between that and the ground pin.
To ensure that you are sending power back to the brake controller pin set your brake controller to the highest setting and then have someone use the manual override. This will allow you to check for continuity. If you don't have continuity then that means something is wrong with either your brake controller or ground wiring.
Let me know if this is the case and I can help you troubleshoot your brake controller connection.
