If your Curt Triflex part # C24VV is constantly flashing something on the display that would indicate there is a problem.

It should only display a single dot when a trailer isn't connected and you are driving.

If it happens to be flashing a RC code that means you need to unplug the controller and replug it back in as it needs to be recalibrated.
