I decided to replace the entire brakes on my 03 Exiss and sourced the brakes from Etrailer. Everything went smoothly throughout and When I got it all back together I started getting a shorted output alarm on the P3. I was careful on the install and taped up the crush butt connectors i used. I'm getting 7 ohms at the brake wire at the plug to ground which should be reading all the magnets in parallel if im undrestanding the brake right. Is there a good way to troubleshoot this? I'm planning on cutting them all loose one at a time and insulate the loose wires unitl i have them all loose if i have to take it that far. I'm new to brakes and the magnets shouldn't have been polarity sensitive should they? I hope yall can straighten me out this week. Thanks, Tim
*the brakes were working fine before i changed them.... they were worn was why i changed.

Total resistance should be closer to 1 for all four magnets in parallel.
(http://www.1728.org/resistrs.htm) Check your ground connection before undoing all the brake magnet connections.
