• Adjusting Braking Power After Installation of Electric Trailer Brake Controller
• Your trailer wheels should not actually lock up. This is a common misunderstanding because locking the tires actually reduces traction and can cause more issues with your trailer tracking behind your vehicle. You do want your brakes to slow you as quickly as possible but you don't want them to lock up. With the Prodigy P2 # 90885, the adjustment knob set to the max level is going to deliver the most power, but you want to also make sure you have the boost settings set to the max for...

• Recommended Replacement For A Genesis Technology GT-2.0 RV Stereo System
• With the age of the unit it's most likely just time for replacement. The only troubleshooting you can do with a stereo is to simply ensure that all the wiring is properly attached and that the stereo itself is receiving 12v DC power. With what you've said about your unit it sounds like something else is internally wrong, which would not be repairable. Instead, I recommend installing the Furrion RV Stereo # DV1230BL that you were looking at. This stereo is a bit smaller so you'll want...

• Where Does the Titan Brake Right Actuator Need to Be Grounded
• I'll start off by saying that the pump from your Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102, should engage each time the brakes are pressed, so this isn't a normal situation. With that said, this is almost certainly an issue with the ground wire because of the intermittent functioning of the pump. The ground wire on this system cannot be grounded to the trailer and will instead need to be grounded to the ground on the battery of the tow vehicle. If this...

• Troubleshooting Sticking Trailer Brakes Following Complete Stop
• Brakes sticking after a stop is likely not a direct issue with the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 you asked from. Once you have stopped this proportional controller will not have power still applied unless the inertia sensor has gone bad, but that would likely impact braking at other times as well. It could be an issue with the actual brake assemblies needing to be adjusted or from a bleed-over of power from another function. I recommend cleaning your trailer...

• Troubleshooting Running Light Circuit of Trailer Wiring Stopped Working With 5th Wheel Wiring Kit
• Most of the time this type of problem is a corrosion issue on the pins of the connectors. First check the blades of the 7-way of the # 50-97-410-010 and clean as needed and then try unplugging the connections the adapter makes to install and clean them as well. Most likely you'll find some corrosion that once cleaned up will fix the running light circuit.

• If Trailer Breakaway System is Bypassed will Brakes of Trailer Still Work
• If you disabled your breakaway switch the trailer brakes would still work. The breakaway system basically applies it's own voltage to apply the trailer brakes separate from a brake controller which allows it to act independently. I would strongly recommend fixing your breakaway system though in case you were to need it.

• Troubleshooting Voltage at 4 Pin Flat Trailer Connector
• You should be getting 12 volts from each function when that function is active. The amperage will be less and can vary between functions. You can use a multimeter like # PT89ZR to check this. If you have a specific part number you want me to check into for the amperages let me know as these are year/make/model specific and can even vary slightly between brands.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Output Connections to Electric Drum Brakes
• Since you have now adjusted the wiring to be correct and have set up your brake controller, the next thing to check is the output at your trailer connector. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2992 at that 5 o'clock brake output pin. It should show the connection on the controller as it draws power on that pin and then as you use the manual override it will increase in brightness as you apply more output power. If this is working, then you will want to connect your trailer and take it for...

• Replacement Waste Cable for RV Black Water Tank
• It actually looks like the cable on your tank valve is broken, which is why you're getting the extra cable pulled out there in the photo. It looks like what would typically hold that cable handle in place has been stripped out possibly. I'd open it up and see what's going on back there, but in all likelihood you need to replace the cable with something like the Valterra Waste Valve Cable # TC120PB which is a 120" long cable. These do come in a pretty good selection of lengths so I've linked...

• Troubleshooting Curt Wiring Harness 55323 on 2004 Dodge Dakota
• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 55323 likely has an issue at one of the connection points. I recommend using your circuit tester to make sure the function works correctly before connecting the harness at that connection location. If it works there, then I recommend cleaning the connections as best you can and using a little dielectric grease like # 11755. If the connections are good, and you have power at the point of connection for that...

• Arm of Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain is Not Locking
• I know you said you cleaned and lubricated the arms of the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain # RM-422, but I think you still need to clean the locking mechanisms which is why you're having an issue. Attached is a page from the instructions for the BlackHawk 2 All Terrain that you can check out. Please note that you need to be using a silicone lubricant and not a petroleum-based product as that will trap dirt instead of working it out of the system.

• How to Correct Nose High 5th Wheel Trailer After Switching to B&W 5th Wheel Hitch
• I'll start off by saying that the Curt Q20 # C16130 adjusts between 13"-17" tall, where the B&W # BWRVK3670 sits between 17"-19" tall; so if you were in the 15" range with your Q20, that would explain some of the nose high condition you're experiencing now using the B&W hitch. Additionally, if there aren't any bolt holes left above where your Trailair Flex Air Pin Box # LC328492 bolts onto the 5th wheel, it will be at the highest setting and you're not going to be able to move it up. If...

• Troubleshooting Wiring Harness for 2017 Nissan Titan with Trailer Lights Not Working
• It sounds like the Curt # C55384 is working properly with other trailers just not one specific trailer. The good news is the harness isn't the issue when this is the case. The not so good news is you will need to check the trailer wiring. Normally when there is an issue with a vehicle wiring that works with some trailers and not others, the issue is in the ground of the trailer or a bad connection. I recommend cleaning your trailer connector pins with a little sand paper to ensure you...

• Will Redarc Tow Pro Liberty Let You Know if Trailer is Disconnected or if There's a Short
• The knob color of the Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR will indicate the two things you mentioned. If a trailer is connected it will light up blue. If the connection is lost the indicator will not show any colors. If there is a short or any other fault it will flash between yellow and red depending on what short is found. If the specific short you mentioned on the brake output circuit is present the indicator will be yellow and then flash the red color twice quickly.

• New Trailer Brakes Aren't Working Well With Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
• The first thing you'll want to do is make sure the brakes are properly adjusted an burnished, or 'broke in'. Adjusting the brakes allows for he brake shoes to apply the proper force to the brake drum, and burnishing the brakes allows the brake shoes and magnet to seat properly to the brake drum. If both these steps aren't taken, the brakes will not be as effective as they should be. Even if you have self adjusting brake assemblies, they'll need an initial adjustment, as it takes them awhile...

• Audio Troubleshooting On The Furrion Observation Camera System
• To adjust the volume on your # FOS43TASF you will enter the menu on the display. From there just below pairing is setup. Select setup and the third option down is the volume. Select it and adjust to your preferences. If it's not that you could have a powering/signal issue which can be corrected with # FR87PR or # VGR64VR. If you still have issues getting the audio working you can try unpairing and repairing your camera system. In order to un-pair the camera on your Furrion RV Observation...

• Troubleshooting PL Error Code of Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
• The "P.L." code you are seeing on the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 means that there is a power interruption while the brake pedal is depressed. From our experiences this means that you have a poor ground on the white wire or short on the black power wire. This could have easily happened with the work you had done. I would first start with the white ground wire and attach it directly to the negative battery terminal to see if that fixes the issue. If not then...

• Troubleshooting Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 76112 On 2020 Toyota Sienna XLW AWD Hitting Tailpipe
• I am sorry to hear that the tailpipe on your 2020 Toyota Sienna XLW AWD is contacting the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 you installed. There is not a lot of space on your vehicle between where the tailpipe sits and the trailer hitch receiver installs, so this is not an unheard of issue. We actually have made a help article that goes over a few of the best ways to correct such an issue. I recommend starting with bending the hanger as it has no cost involved and can give you...

• Resetting The Tension Springs On A Solera Slide-Out Awning
• You'll have to remove the roller tube on the Solera Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163285 and reroll the fabric and then reattach the roller to the arms. The manufacturer recommends rolling it completely back up and then unrolling it only one revolution and attaching while the slide out is closed or at max slid 6" away from the RV.

• Curt Echo C51180 Wont Connect to Galaxy S9
• I spoke to Curt about your Echo Brake Controller # C51180 not connecting to your phone, and they had several suggestions. First, you will need to check the 2 o'clock position on your 7 Way plug with something like the # C51180. This will be your 12 volt power and will need to have constant 12 volts when the vehicle is on. If you are not getting power, you will want to check your fuses and may need to replace the 7 Way with the Tekonsha # 118266. If you are getting power, you can skip that...
