After traveling 5,000 miles this month suddenly the trailer brakes are locked up on my new 320 S. The little plunger with the wire attached to it came out of the black box it’s in is most likely why. Anyone know how to just completely disconnect the brakes never have used them anyway. Please respond. Thanks Marty

I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to disconnect the brakes because you have "never have used them anyway." That switch is only activated in an emergency situation. You should never tow a trailer without the breakaway switch connected. It is a safety device that is designed to apply the trailer brakes in the event your trailer pops off the tow vehicle hitch or somehow disengages from the tow vehicle (it can happen.) Also, when towing, you must have your battery on the trailer connected, because that is what provides electrical power to the breakaway switch.
