Can the Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller be Reset

Question

Question:

Is it possible to do a factory reset on the settings or is that even necessary. I made a mistake by entering the wrong info to set the brake controller I set it for 7.0 instead of 6.0

Helpful Expert Reply:

You can reset the controller by unplugging it for 15 minutes. However that should not be needed if you just need to adjust the output power. Just use the buttons on the left of the controller to select the output voltage you want. I have included a link to the installation instructions so you can see the procedure. Power output should be adjusted prior to using any of the boost levels.

It sounds like the magnets are getting worn and are not supplying the enough force to the brake assembly when the brakes are applied. The first thing I would do is use a voltage tester and check the brake output wire on the trailer while someone uses…

If I understand correctly, you have a 12 Volt battery rated at 35 amp hours and want to connect this to a Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter, #34278156 rated for 2,000 Watt. If you want to operate anything for an extended period of time that…

It is possible to power your freezer but you wouldn't want to power it using your vehicle's battery as you could end up damaging it. I recommend a larger deep cycle battery like the Go Power Lithium RV Battery #34282738 since the Go Power…

Answer 12

Brake controllers such as the P3 you referenced #90195 will go into a sleep mode after about 15 minutes of it sensing no movement. If you peek through the window after 15 minutes then it should be in sleep mode. What you are seeing is normal.
