Default Jakes D3 Brake power issue

Having some issues with my brake where it acts like it's shorting out when the button is pushed. Didn't have any issues with it last night and went to drive it today and it's pulling a lot of power when the button is pressed. The ground is good.

Any ideas?

Checked all the wires on outside of trans, everything looks good, no frays or cuts. Guess I'm off my to my trans guy to have him look. :/

Figured I'd post up what the resolution was....

One of the wires that was soldered/wrapped on the internal transbrake harness was a poking out of the wrap and contacting the case. Snipped the offending pokey part and all is well.
