- Troubleshooting Older Valley Journey # 52650 Brake Controller
- Other than a power and ground connection, the only connection the brake controller has to the vehicle is through its connection to the brake stoplight switch using the red wire exiting the rear of the controller. If this red wire is tapped into the wrong circuit of the switch, the turn signals can operate the brake controller. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires exiting the brake stoplight switch located at the top the brake pedal. You want to use the wire that ONLY...

- If your Redarc trailer brake controller, such as their Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR, shuts down after a short period of towing but then reactivates after a 10-minute rest, there are a few different potential causes you can investigate.
One is that the unit is losing its ground connection to the vehicle battery. This could be a loose wire or connector.
Another (more likely) possibility is that there is a short-circuit somewhere in the brake controller power circuit that is tripping the circuit...

- I reached out to my contact at Redarc regarding the dim LED you're getting on the knob of the Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.
He said that inside the knob/remote there is a 90 degree light pipe which is what brings the light up and out through the button. If this is no longer in the correct position then it can definitely cause the light to be extremely dim. If you look at the top of the button there is a small clear piece of plastic protruding from a small hole - this...

- According to Titan, if only the white and black wires are connected, the hydraulic pump should not run. With those two wires attached, the pump should start when the blue wire is touched to the positive battery terminal.
The folks at Titan tell me that the two most common problems in an electric over hydraulic braking system are low brake fluid level and a system that's been incorrectly wired or has had a connection come loose.
Please ensure that the brake fluid master cylinder is full...

- In order to make sure your battery does not backfeed into your 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser all you need to do is add a single diode like the Roadmaster # RM-690. This will install between the trailer battery and 7-Way and only allows power to travel in one direction.

- Since you mention that the green light does not turn red and there is no signal coming from the Tekonsha Accutrac brake controller, I would start by adjusting the HARD effort to a higher setting.
I would check to make sure that the controller was mounted correctly in your 1991 Toyota HZJ Landcruiser. Per the installation instructions, this controller must be mounted from 20 degrees nose down to 70 degrees nose up and the internal sensor arm adjusted accordingly.
If this does not correct...

- The problem that you are facing is that your trailer is running the right turn/stop on one wire, and the left turn/stop on a separate wire; otherwise known as a 2-wire system. Your 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser has a 3-wire system where the left turn, right turn, and stop wiring is run on separate wires.
What you will need to do is use the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496. This wiring harness will combine your stop signal with your turn signals...

- If you aren't experiencing any braking action on either trailer then that means the signal from the Prodigy P2 # 90885 is lost somewhere either on your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser or your 2019 Mini Winnie.
Since the Winnebago is brand new I suspect that the problem is on the tow vehicle side. Start off by testing the pin in the 5 o'clock position of your 7-Way connector with a circuit tester like part # PTW2992. If you don't have a 7-Way or you don't see that a signal is sending then that...

- If you are getting a no trailer connected warning on your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 you may have a corroded or dirty connector which is hampering the connection. Check the vehicle and trailer plug to see if there is any type of corrosion or dirt built up that may be hampering its functionality and clean if necessary.
A bad ground somewhere is also a possibility so you'll need to thoroughly check your grounds to see if they are secure and make sure the ground wires are attached to bare...

- The Yakima round bars will allow more movement of pretty much any accessory due to the reduced surface area for the mount contact. The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box XXL # TH6359B or XL # TH6358B with quick-grip mounting clamps will hold the box secure front to back but with round bars the side to side movement may continue to be an issue in crosswinds.
There isn't a recommendation from either manufacturer for this but we have had customers use different technics to troubleshoot....
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Prodigy P3 Brake Controller that Isn't Connecting to Trailer Brakes
- Based on what you described the first and easiest solution would be to try cleaning the brake output pin on the trailer connectors on your tow vehicle and trailer. A little corrosion can cause the controller to not be able to connect to the trailer. A bent pin on the connectors can cause the same problem.
Aside from that it would be a matter of tracing the brake output circuit back from the connector to the assemblies to make sure the wiring isn't damage anywhere or the grounds of the...
