Troubleshooting A Titan EHB Is Locking Up After Installing On A 2022 Ford F-350
Question:
Hello, I have a 2009 Loadmaster boat trailer with EHB brake from Titan. The boat and trailer were used when I purchased. It came with the Brake Rite installed. I have 4 Kodiak disk stainless disk brakes as the boat is launched and retrieved from salt water. The unit worked well on on 2008 Ford F350 with the Ford factory brake controller. I just upgraded to a 2022 Ford F350 and have an issue. The EHB will engage with strong pump noise and braking power. All 4 tires immediately cease movement even at lower gain settings. This is with the trailer empty. Once the brake pedal or TBC manual is released, the brakes on the trailer will not release for 4-5 seconds. This is consistent with with the brake pedal or TBC usage. The 2022 F350 has the factory brake controller and I have ed the Electric over Hydraulicfoot option in the trailer setup display in the onboard system. I installed a brand new battery for the EHB and have bled the brakes to remove any potential air bubbles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It sounds to me like it is a trailer side wiring issue. To be certain, you'll want to check the blue brake output wire lead from the trailer side connector to the actuator.
If this wire has a break in it and is shorting out to another circuit, then that could be causing your brakes to malfunction and lock up like you're describing.
If in fact this is what's happening, your best bet is to replace that entire wire with part # 10-1-1.
Once that wire is situated, you'll want to make sure your ground wire is good to go as well. You'll want to ensure that your ground wire is secured properly to a clean, bare metal surface.
A lot of wiring issues are attributed to grounding issues such as a loose or broken ground wire or a loose/dirty connection.
I have included a wiring diagram for you to check out as well that should help some more.
