I can help you solve this problem. Per the instructions, if your Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional, part # BLU37TR, has a solid red light, there is too much pressure on the brake pedal. You need to pull the brake unit back, away from the pedal until the lights switch to a blinking blue and green sequence. After you do this, the brake needs to be repositioned. I have included the paragraph from the installation manual that explains how to reposition your supplemental braking system below.
