    Even the TA shops can plug a laptop in the trailer and find out what the problem is, you need a new mechanic.
    Most likely a sensor or cord.

    A lot of shops are clueless about how to do anything harder than changing tires and oil, or the occasional radiator hose.

    Check/clean the sensors/reluctors and bearing end play. It's usually a simple fix.
