Is TIPM on 2006 Dodge Ram Causing no Power to Brake Controller
Question:
Aftermarket trailer brake controller stopped working. Checked power and I have none coming from harness under the dash, check all fuses none blown. I tested other 3 wires brake pedal signal, ground, trailer brake send at factory harness and they seem to be working. Brake controller has been in this pickup since new with no issues. If I supply 12v from another power source from the pickup the controller works just fine. Could this be a TIPM issue?

Expert Reply:
The TIPM on your 2006 Dodge could be the issue causing a lack of power, though the only way to know for sure is to take the truck to the dealer and have them inspect it. You do have another option, which is to bypass the TIPM by running your own 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 from your 7-way's 12 volt pin to the positive post of your battery through Circuit Breaker # 9510.
