Troubleshooting OEM Brake Controller of 2021 Chevy Silverado not Working with 2021 Grand Design
Question:
I have a 2021 3500 Chev High Country with factory installed trailer brake controller. When I apply the brakes my message is 100 power but I know my brakes on my 2021 Grand Design with Dexter axles are not working. I have read when there may be a compatibility issue between the two. Your thoughts of a solution? Thanks for your input.

Hey Tim, it sounds like your Grand Design may have electric over hydraulic brakes but I am not totally sure. If that's true make sure your brake controller is put in hydraulic mode. Otherwise an aftermarket brake controller that was designed to be used with EOH brakes like the part # 90885 would be a great solution.

Hi Jameson I also have a 2021 Chevy 3500 High Country. I pull a 1996 sundowner horse trailer. We have nothing but problems with the Breaks not working. They are electrical. Dexter axels. Any suggestions?
