    Brake grabbing in reverse on my trailer

    Does anyone know what could be the problem with my ez loader trailer brakes. It seems that when I am backing up that the brakes are grabbing on one side of the trailer. Thx

    The brakes that are not grabbing might need work, and you may not have 12 volts to the back-up lockout solenoid or have a weak ground on the trailer.

    If they are surge brakes-- that would be my thoughts as well.. Your lockout solenoid is not working, most likely no current. .And only one brake is functioning.

    Check plug connections and brake fluid levels.
