Troubleshooting Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Display Not Going Into Sleep Mode
Question:
When the brake controller goes into sleep mode when the vehicle is turned off is the P3 display supposed to stay on all the time? I thought it used to go out? But now mine stays on all the time.

The Prodigy P3 brake controller # 90195 is designed to go into sleep mode when not in use. This will just keep your settings and will be a very minimal draw like the clock in your vehicle. The display should "sleep" after 15 minutes of detecting no movement. If after that 15 minutes you are still getting the display, then the controller is seeing a slight power draw from a trailer connected or is seeing a draw from a trailer connector that most likely just needs to be cleaned. I recommend using some sand paper to clean corrosion, a remove dirt and debris. Then use dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris from the pins causing the false reading.
