Yep i found that out when using a side by side to back mine into the garage. First trailer i'd had with brakes & there wasn't a tool to disable them so i took a tool that you use to remove a wheel from a grinder & made one to keep in a box with fuses etc. A buddys back up switch didn't work once when we pulled in close to a curb & then he couldn't back up because the trailer brakes locked. Thankfully i had my home made trailer brake unlock tool in that box in storage. lol
