When your trip starts like this I was worried the res of the day would go the same way

I pulled in then went to back up to turn around and the brakes on the trailer locked up and with no traction i couldnt back up! IT SUCKED!
But the rent of the day made up for it by far..

Gary,
I am glad you are back at it. Looks like it was a great day. It also looks like you need a bigger truck.

yeah it was an awsome day the truck is a F550 with the whole banks kit! the elect to for the trailer is messed up so reverse doesnt disengage the brakes ..

Easy said when you have done it before. I will get there....slowly....lol
But after you have done it once you will want to keep going. Just make sure you have a gps and Vessel Assist and go with someone.

I have the same problem when I tow with my Ford. The Yukon disengages the brakes fine. Gotta hand it to them though... When the trailer brakes activate you can't F'ing move it.. :cry:

You probably need to add the backup lights to the connector that engages the reverse lockout solenoid on the trailer. Chevy has it stock on the 7-pin connector that comes with the tow package- not sure about Ford.
If they are surge brakes...I'd just stick something in the keyway to keep the actuator from moving (that's how they do it while moving it with a forklift).
Looks like a nice day.
