    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

    Surge brakes or electric ?

    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.
