Should Each Brake on a Single Axle Trailer be Wired Directly to a Junction Box

Question:

when wiring single axle trailer breaks should each side go to the junction box or can they be spliced together and then run one wire to the junction box

Helpful Expert Reply:

The brake wires can be spliced together and have one wire run to the junction box if that is easiest for you. On a single axle you could also have separate brake wires for both sides if you wanted to but most of the time there is a single wire out to the brakes and it will Tee off to each side.
