I had (sort of) the same issue with the same controller. I also found that the P3 is not a 'set it and forget it' controller. Mine will lock up the wheels at in town speeds and seem to have little braking at highway speeds if not adjusted for conditons. As a start go higher on the voltage and boost and then back it down to where you are comfortable. After I began to understand the controller I now have the brakes where I want them both in town and on the highway but it does require a re-adjust on the boost. If you don't think the controller is working properly tow a different trailer and see how that works.
I have same issue as jmtandem, just use boost 1 for city traffic light and boost 3 on highway. My rig is a 1996 C1500 towing a 6,300 TT. I had to adjust the TT brakes annually and change the voltage for the brakes as said above. I used the TT in hilly terrain and as the brakes wore on the effectiveness wore on I ended up selecting a higher voltage setting, may not be the best way when the best way is adjusting the brakes.
