Why Would Load Resistors Need to Be Installed on Trailer Lighting Circuits and Not Brake Output
Updated 11/12/2018 | Published 11/11/2018
Question:
Can I just attach the load resistor to the brake controller wire #5 on 7 pin plug on the camper instead of putting one on turn signal/running lights etc.Will this resolve the trailer disconnected alarm?

I wish it was that simple but putting a load resistor on the brake output circuit of your 7-way would not prevent the issue you are having. The error message is due to lower amperage draw of the trailer lighting circuits and not the trailer brakes.
