Troubleshooting Curt Echo C51180 That Is Stuck On Solid Blue Light

Question

Question:

Hello i have a question about the echo brake controller. I get to the point where it goes solid blue. It won’t calibrate for the trailer brakes. Blinking yellow that is. It just stays solid blue and disconnects from the app.

Since the blue light is solid on the Curt Echo # C51180, that means that it is connected to your device.

For the Echo to calibrate you will need to make sure your 7-way connector is plugged in securely. If you are plugging the 7-way connector in securely to the Echo, check the 7-way connector of the trailer to make sure there is no corrosion or debris that could be causing an issue with the connection.

Next make sure that all of the wiring to the trailer brakes on the trailer is in good shape, it is grounded to the trailer frame, and that the trailer ground is securely installed to clean corrosion free metal.

If these steps do not get the yellow and the green light to come on just let me know and we will go into more in-depth troubleshooting steps.
