Will Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller Work w/ Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes

Question:

I have a reese trailer brake controller that does not seem to work with my eby trailer with electric hydraulic brakes. Can the reese work with this system? If not what do I need, can you supply, and what is the total cost? Note: the reese does work on a trailer with electric brakes only, also it does seem to get power to the hydraulic brake actuator . Thanks for any help,

Since your trailer is equipped with electric over hydraulic brakes, I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195. This brake controller is a customer favorite because it is easy to setup and use and was designed to work with the brakes on your trailer. Just click on the product link to be directed to the product page which includes pricing as well as additional features.

The Reese Electronic Brake Controller, # 39523, that you currently have is designed for use with electric trailer brakes so it will not work for your trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes.

Aside from the brake controller, nothing else is needed. Just wire it up and you are ready to go.
