Where Do The Green Wires On The Dexter Trailer Brake Assembly Connect?

Question:

I have electric brakes each side has two green wires one for ground but what does the other green wire get wired to?

Expert Reply:

The other green wire from the Brake Assembly # 23-468 will go to the 7-way junction box and receive power from the trailer brake controller. The reason both wires are green is they power an elctromagnet which is not polarity specific so you only need to ensure the one side is grounded and the other is connected to the brake controller circuit.

It’s not working. Is there a specific brake controller I need to use?

@Mike You only need to ensure the brake controller is compatible with electric trailer brakes and is set correctly. Some controllers are also compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes and have a different setting for that function.
