I am wiring my brake box for my horse trailer and the directions says to hook up to the cold side of the stop lamps. got it all hooked up but when I put the truck in reverse the trailer locks up and when...

Hi, the instructions may be confusing. You need to hook the sense wire to the cold side of the stoplight switch--not the stop lamps. The stoplight switch is above the brake pedal. Am I making sense?

Have a 96 F350 when I plug in any trailer it locks up the trailer brakes.. I can hook that trailer up to another truck and I don't have any issues.

It sounds like the electric brake (Blue Wire) from your truck is in the wrong location in the socket from your truck

or

check the connection to the brake pedal it has a wire that goes to it(Usually) white or red it may be connected to the wrong side of the switch

one side has power at all times the other only when you hit the brake most likely this is the problem. the wire needs current only when the truck brakes are depressed.................Good Luck

Truck not stoping and anti brake is working.

dosen't stop at all or just slow?, if the abs is working then you should feel the pulseing in the brake pedal just before tire lock-up, the tires will not lock-up with abs fully funtioning unless all four tires or two are in lock-up depending on the abs application, if abs fails it reverts it self to regular braking ability, hope this helps

Trailer brake controller problem

I found the problem. Talking with a technician from the controller company, we determined that it was a fuse problem. I found that the fuse to the CHMSL was blown.
