05 XStar trailer brakes will not work or bleed?

[fcs1965]

Tried to bleed the brakes but nothing comes out? How do i check if the actuator solenoid is stuck? How do I repair and where can I get one if it is bad?

Thanks,
Chris

Have you checked the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir?
Have someone listen for a click when you put it in reverse and the back up lights come on, if so, the solenoid has opened up so the master cylinder will flow free so there will be no pressure for the brakes to engage.The wire from the solenoid is normally the blue wire and will/should be connected to a back up light wire. It does not have a ground wire cause it grounds itself through the brakeing system to the trailer frame that has a ground to the tow vehicle.

Back up solenoid can be found at most boat dealers or here, http://kodiaktrailer.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=60&osCsid=5eef2b6660e36e08707cb7d7cde13b9f

IF it is surge brakes in order to bleed them you have to bring the coupler back in order for pressure to form.
