Question:
Hello, I am searching for a replacement brake magnet for a trailer. It uses a Tekonsha 5110 magnet but they seem to be not available anymore. Do you have a replacement that would work? Thank you

Hello Clinton,
I’m sorry, but that magnet is no longer available. The best solution is to replace the entire brake assembly. You’ll need to check your axle capacity to determine which set will work for your trailer.
