Is the Curt Triflex Brake Controller Compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes

Question:

Removed the air tank and master cylinder. have only the main brake line to the rear. Trailer has disk brakes, repacked the bearings installed new seals. brakes and disk show no wear at all. Have the Cargo HBA-16 and have a brake-away kit .Want to flush the lines out with mineral spirits before installing the HBA-16 tried air pressure high and low, seams to be plunged as nothing is coming out when I open up the bleeders. What do you suggest ? Also will a Curt TriFlex controller work with the HBA-16? Thank You,

Sounds like you are trying to bleed your brake lines with a power bleeder. Is your power bleeder building pressure but nothings coming out of the fitting when you loosen it? If so, I would verify that your no lockout device is being activated. If you have a manual lock out be sure it's not activated and preventing the pressure from getting past the actuator.

The Curt Tri-Flex part # C24VV that you referenced is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes so it would work well with the # HBA16.
