- D: Bi-Colored Light
Important Notes:
- Avoid RF Interference: Do not mount RF-generating devices (cell phones, radios) within 12 inches of the unit.

- Light Indicators:
- Green Light: Trailer is connected.
- Red Light: Brakes are activated (manual control or brake pedal).
- Flashing Red/No Light: Trailer is not connected.
- The Green Light uses 10 milliamps; it would take over 5,000 hours to drain the vehicle battery.
- Weight Limit: Never exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Mounting Instructions:
-
Select a Suitable Mounting Location:
- Choose a solid surface within easy reach of the driver.
-
Mount the Bracket:
- Use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the holes.
- Drill two (2) 1/8" holes at the marked points.
- Secure the bracket with #6 x 3/8" screws provided.
-
Install the Brake Control:
- Slide the Brake Control into the bracket.
- Secure with screws; tighten snugly but do not overtighten.
Wiring Instructions:
-
Black Wire (Battery +):
- Connect to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery using a 20A circuit breaker.
-
White Wire (Ground -):
- Connect to a clean, bare metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
-
Red Wire (Stoplight Switch):
- Connect to the cold side of the stoplight switch (only active when the brake pedal is pressed).
-
Blue Wire (Trailer Brake):
- Connect to the trailer brake wire at the 7-way connector.
Adjusting Brake Power:
-
Initial Setup:
- Turn the Power Knob to minimum.
- Turn the Power Knob 1/4 turn in the + direction.
-
Testing Brakes:
- Connect the trailer and drive at 25 mph on a dry, level surface.
- Apply the Manual Slide Knob:
- If brakes lock up: Reduce power using the Power Knob.
- If braking is insufficient: Increase power using the Power Knob.
-
Fine-Tuning Power:
- Repeat the above step until braking is smooth, just below the point of wheel lock-up.
Troubleshooting Guide:
Condition | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
No trailer brakes (Manual Slide) | Power set to minimum | Adjust Power Knob upward. |
No brakes with pedal activation | Incorrect Red Wire connection | Verify Red Wire at stoplight switch. |
Weak trailer braking | Power too low | Increase Power Knob setting. |
Intermittent braking | Poor ground connection | Check White Wire ground. |
Brakes too strong | Power too high | Reduce Power Knob setting. |
Flashing Red Light | Trailer not connected or open wire | Check trailer wiring and connections. |
Constant Green Light | Short in brake line to ground | Inspect Blue Wire for short circuit. |
Safety Notes:
- Warm trailer brakes before testing by driving 1/4 mile at 45 mph with light manual braking.
- Adjust power based on load weight and road conditions.
- Do not set power so high that trailer brakes lock up, as this can cause loss of control.
Maintenance:
- Inspect trailer brakes every 3,000 miles or as recommended.
- Adjust brakes as necessary for optimal performance.
