Electric brakes update

[Speedling]

Just as an fyi, while everything seems to work just fine my brake controller only sometimes works now. This may be due to a short somewhere and it the cheapest one pretty much but will be investigated soon.
I would recommend unplugging before dunking for this reason.

If you have a cheapo controller (they work just fine normally), then I would absolutely second the "unplug before dunk". Otherwise you will be blowing fuses or ruining your controller. Most all of the Takonsha (sp?) and equivalent brake controllers have an overload sensor that detects the short, alerts on it, and then checks every second to see if the overload/short has been fixed.
