It most likely just faded due to continual dragging of the brake to
counteract the strong x-wind. No solution other than to let it cool.

If your brakes worked ok at a later flight, this was probably
the a/c weather vaning into the wind. I have had this experience
before with very strong cross winds. The wind strikes the aft
fuselage and vertical fin and causes a very large turning moment
turning the nose into the wind. When this happened to me I had
just landed and could not make a right turn off the runway. I
had to taxi past the turnoff and turn into the wind and let my
momentum finish the turn onto the taxiway. (a 270deg turn left
instead of a 90deg turn right).

Many times one set (PILOT SIDE) fail, but CO-PILOT side will still work
due to design of system. I've been "saved" at least twice by having
someone in the right seat who still had adequate braking....and ...it
seems to last quite a while. Days in one case. The RESEVOIR is on the
pilot's side, but actuators on right side are independent and will still
have fluid.

At the risk of begging the question, I think it's already dangerous if you
can't taxi out without fading.

I have an interesting problem.=A0=A0 Customer complained that the dimmer doesn't
work.=A0=A0 I check it out and it's turned all the way to the right.=A0=A0 I connect
an Volt/Ohm metter to a lead and turn the Rheo back and forth and notice that
the voltage is higher the lower it's turned down.=A0=A0 I've never seen that
one.=A0=A0
The connections on the Rheo seem to be original.=A0=A0 I haven't cut the wire
ties to see if the leads are original.=A0=A0
Just wondering, is it as simple as the leads being switched?
