Breakaway Switch Rubber Boot Cover

Breakaway Switch Rubber Boot Cover

The Breakaway switch boot covers for breakaway kits are essential to help keep water out of the switch contacts.

In heavy rain, water often enters the switch and creates a short circuit within the switch, causing the brakes to engage.

It is essential to check the brakes to see if the trailer is breaking during heavy rain events.

Remedy

Remove the pin and shake the switch. This may remove the problem.

Reinsert the pin and listen for the magnet to engage. If the agent does not engage the brakes with the oin inserted, you have cleared the problem and can continue your journey.
