I've been through 3 different breakaway switches in ZERO miles on a brand new trailer. The trailer has never left the shop yet. 3 switches! Is anyone else sick of the inferior parts available in the world these days? #1 was a cheap switch from Amazon. Chinese no-name. I should've known better. #2 was a Hopkins brand (with built-in LED indicator) that I bought at a local store. Neither one of these lasted their initial test before they stopped working internally. I would get them installed and then pull the plunger to test the switch and they both failed immediately. The third one is a Tekonsha switch purchased from a local trailer parts supplier. It SEEMS to be a tad bit higher quality. At least it made it through testing. lol. Anyone else have problems with cheap breakaway switches failing immediately?
