If your brake controller is putting 12 volts on the circuit that taps into the vehicle's brake signal or back to the output circuit of your 7-way that would indicate that you have an internal brake controller problem and need to replace it.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
