Be sure to travel with an operational battery. In the event that the trailer separates from the tow vehicle, the emergency breakaway brakes will only work with a charged battery.

If it's not inside, the newer models have it mounted to the A-frame in front of the battery under the propane tanks. Turns ON/OFF with a large red key.

But if you're initially getting a reading on the battery monitor inside, I would THINK it's already on. If that's so, I don't know why nothing works.

What exactly do you mean by "upon diagnostics the battery has a full charge"??
Thank you for all your help. I checked everything you advised and that I could think of and couldn't diagnose the problem. I hitched up anyway because I am booked for the long weekend at a park with full hook ups and proceeded on my 2 hr journey. Upon arriving and unhooking, obviously the 1st thing I did was attempt opening the slides on battery power and everything worked. I still believe there may be a loose connection somewhere. Mystery and stressful. Time to crack one open, kick up my feet and relax! Thanks again [emoji106]
