I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he has seen this issue in the past. More than likely the problem is with corrosion on the ring terminals in the power distribution/fuse box of your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. You will want to clean the ring terminals as well as the square pad around the threaded stud. Once completed, reconnect the ring terminals and test your Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller, # TK90160, to see if this has corrected the problem.

If this does not correct the issue, please feel free to email me for further troubleshooting suggestions.
