P3 reports "Overload", Primus works perfectly.

I'd search for an answer however I see the search function is still hopelessly broken. :R

My Tekonsha P3 started reporting "Overload - No brakes" this past weekend. I initially figured I had a legit issue somewhere (shorted wire or a bad magnet or something), but I took a shot in the dark and swapped in my old Tekonsha Primus and it worked flawlessly all weekend. NO issues, no loss of brakes, no overload, no blown fuses - nothing.

Plug the P3 back in and it once again reports "Overload" after one or two brake applications.

A legit issue I could understand, but I'm left wondering why the P3 has problems but the Primus seems happy as could be. Thoughts?

  • P3, so a life time warranty and why not use their contact page/info, as you
    paid for that life time warranty

    Sounds like you have a bad controller, as the older one works. I'd
    ask them if either they can send a new one to swap it out, or authorize
    a dealer to try a new one on the spot

    Seems broken to me when it can't find anything matching a 2 word search.

    Searches for "P3" or "overload" independently show lots of hits, but searching the two terms together is imperative to receive relevant results.
