Expert Reply:
If the brakes are only being depressed in your towed vehicle when using the manual override button then the internal inertia sensor of your Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR must not be properly activating.
I recommend pulling the power from the unit for awhile to let it fully power down. You can then press the Set-Up button to get the system properly set to your vehicle and then perform a test to see if the unit is properly working again. If not then you'll need to contact Blue Ox as the inertia sensor isn't something that we carry.
