[DRanger]

So, I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find anything wrong with the wires. What's more, the brakes work when hooked to the TV and at the point behind the fridge, the line from the bargman and the line from the switch become one and the same, so, logically the switch line should work too.

So this morning I lifted the wheels, turned them, and energized the switch line and the wheels immediately stopped.

Apparently there's no movement or clicking to be heard in my wheels when the brakes are energized while the wheels are not moving.

So, I think all is well. Nothing is wrong with my brakes, or, nothing will be wrong once I install a new breakaway switch.

The radio short was the problem (but I just didn't know it) and it took tearing out my breakaway switch wires to discover it!
