THE BRAKE WIRE INSIDE THE TRAILER BRAKE WIRING PLUG WAS CONNECTED TO THE WRONG TERMINAL AND, THEREFORE, NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE SWITCH IN THE TRUCK CAB WHICH CONTROLS THE TRAILER BRAKES. THE TRAILER BRAKES MAY BE INOPERABLE OR COULD INADVERTENTLY BE APPLIED WHEN THE TRUCK CHASSIS LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED ON, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
