I even set the controller as far as it would go to 10, but it still wouldn't stop the truck. Am I doing something wrong, or should I get the trailer brakes checked? What am I looking for when checking the brakes? I have the OEM controller in my 2012 F250, and my trailer is in my signature. Thanks for any help.

Most time we only see the light turn from green to red as the brakes come on.
