[quote timestamp="1471604426" author="@admin" source="/post/23972/thread"]It's unusual for a quicksilver to have electric brakes. Out of curiosity did you order it that way? Since you do have the 7 pin you should have the option for charging the battery while towing but unless you had it wired to charge I highly doubt it was done by default. [/quote][font size="3"]Agreed the brakes are not a standard configuration. JAMMYDEE: are you sure you have electric brakes? They must have been ordered or added. You must also have the round 7 pin connector on the wire from the trailer  and on the tow vehicle. You must also have both the trailer and the tow vehicle wired for charging. They don't just happen by default or accident in a non standard configuration. Only a meter tells the truth. [/font]

I ordered it with electric brakes. I'm sure I have them (when I apply them with the brake controller independent of my TV brakes I can feel them, plus you can hear them being applied)

I also have the round 7-pin connector. And we checked all the wires on the tow vehicle when wiring it at the dealer. If the QS was incorrectly wired from the factory that would be a different issue. I know the connector wires work, though.

[p]I am not sure that it has been said on this thread, but it has been said on lots of others: many TVs need a fuse added to the main fuse box to allow power to flow to the 7 pin connector to charge the battery. I would not accept that the dealer "checked them out".

It is easy to check yourself with a meter. Connect the pos lead to pin 4 and the neg lead to pin 1 . See the attachment. Make sure that the TVs engine is running as there is a relay that only powers it when the engine is running. You should read 12v. If not check for the missing fuse.[/p][p]
