I did a pull test while leaving a repair center yesterday and found that I didn't have any braking action on the 5er. It turned out that the breakaway switch was defective and instead of locking the brakes up when the plunger was pulled, it caused the lack of braking. A new breakaway switch and all is fine now. It just seems dangerous to me to think that a defective breakaway switch could cause us to lose braking power. I'm sure glad that I learned to raise the landing gear a little and activate the brake controller and do the pull test before traveling. Tom
