    Trailer Noise

    I was wondering if anyone can review a video I made and try and help me diagnose what is happening with my trailer.
    I have tried to attach video but it has file is invalid. I can text the video or email to someone to review.
    The noise only happens when I am backing up and the trailer is unloaded, (boat off the trailer). There is no noise when pulling forward and the brakes work fine on the highway.
    The trailer is a UFP dual axle and has a A60 actuator and surge brakes.

    Thanks for the help.

    Disc brakes or drums?

    Try unplugging the light connector and backing up hill.

    It will not back up at all if the connection is unplugged.

    I’d guess it’s just the pads rubbing on the rotors then. My guess was your solenoid was bad or fuse was blown and your brakes needed bleeding, but it sounds like you are good.

    The reverse solenoid has been replaced and noise still occurs.
