On the inside rail of my Skeeter trailer is a black box that buzzes when I plug in the trailer lights.

What is that box and how do I fix it to stop the buzzing sound?

Thanks

No one has any idea what this part is or how to fix the buzzing sound?

Come on guys, someone has to know something.

Thanks Cactusflyr, I am certain its electrical and yeah, want to get it checked and fixed.

Never noticed it until a while back I left the trailer connected to the truck and the next morning it was real quiet outside and as I was walking towards it I could hear it.

The black box mounted inside the trailer frame is some sort of relay I'm guessing.

Sounds like a control box for electric brakes or some add on lights.

It may be for the brakes, I don't know.

It's not an add on, it came from the factory like that.

Okay, I have found out it is a "Electric Brake Actuator" also called a "Brake Lock-out", now to figure out why it's buzzing.

Odd that it's buzzing, I thought all boat brakes were hydraulic and not electric. Is there a battery in that box? Shouldn't be but it shouldn't be buzzing either.
