Related QuestionsMy Jacobs Engine Brake stopped working, what's the most likely problem?
Jacobs Vehicle Systems - Frequently Asked QuestionsGenerally if your brake stopped working entirely, you have an electrical problem. This is most likely a failed switch (probably a fuel pump or clutch switch). You can usually confirm this by hot-wiring the brake, bringing battery power directly to the solenoid leads (with the engine at idle). Be sure to disconnect the existing leads to the solenoids so that you do not damage your control system. If the brake does not operate when hot-wired, you may have a solenoid failure.
