    Trailer actuator question

    What do you call the lockout slide piece to release the brakes to back up when reverse wire isn't working. It's usually attached and hanging lose

    Trailer Brake Lockout key, or pin. Mine uses a pin. Or are you talking about the emergency lockout? Where you have to jam a screwdriver in there to reset it.

    Brake lockout bracket. I have used a coin and electrical tape in a pinch.
