Brakes On A 2017 Jayco Fifth Wheel Pinnacle Dont lock Up After Pulling The Break Away Switch
Question:
My brakes aren’t working properly they don’t lock up after pulling the break away switch. We have traced the current to they are working but on a voltage meter reading 3-4 volts. So they are working but not enough current I think. Any help would be appreciated

Expert Reply:
On your 2017 Jayco Pinnacle Fifth Wheel the break away switch should have it's own battery. If it is only reading 3-4 volts when you pull the break away switch the battery may need to be replaced.
