Expert Reply:
The message on the display of your Prodigy P3 most likely is Open Ground No Brakes, which indicates that the ground wire of the brake controller is not making a solid connection to your vehicle battery. To fix this you will need to check the condition of the ground wire from the brake controller and fix as necessary.
I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting brake controller installations for you to check out also.
