  • Does the Autowbrake Require Re-Calibration When Power is Removed?
  • Great News! The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller part # 3430001 does not require a reset if it loses power. It is designed to store the settings until the next use of the trailer and will be at the same settings as when you disconnected. It is however very easy to change the settings on the controller if you switch vehicles or trailer loads. Check out the video my buddy Shane did on it to see some more details on the system.

  • Can the Wheel Trays Be Removed on the Yakima FourTimer 4 Bike Platform Rack
  • Yes, the wheel trays can be slid off the Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Platform Rack part # Y0443-2. However, this would not be able to be done with a bike attached as the bike would put downward pressure on the wheel tray which would then prevent them from sliding off with a bike sitting atop. The majority of bike racks will have removable wheel trays but more often than not, a thief is not going to think to remove them. When it comes down to it, there isn't a bike rack on the market that is...

  • Troubleshooting Blank Screen of Prodigy P3 Brake Controller
