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.
