Single Dot on Display of Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller After Install

Question:

I just hooked up a Resse Brake-Evn proportional brake control, 8508211, and followed all instructions for hook up to my 2017 RAM 1500 but it has been about 20 mins and one of the led lights, a single dot, is still lit is this normal?

If you take a look at the instruction manual for a Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller part # TK63VR, you'll see that a single red dot represents that the brake controller has power but there is no trailer connected. Therefore, if you don't have a trailer hooked up but the truck is on then yes, this is normal. I have attached a list of other displays below for you as well and what they mean. If you're still having issues, check out the troubleshooting section of the instruction manual also attached below.
