Prodigy P3 Issues
I recently purchased a Prodigy P3 brake controller. After installing it, I have run into an issue about the brakes engaging on the TT. I have set the P3 to 7.5 and the boost to 2 and the type to E...

Thing to remember about the boost. It only sends 25 to 30% of power to the brakes, and it only lasts a couple seconds. It is only to help the trailer brakes get started with the TV brakes. Boost as I understand it. Has nothing to do with setting the brake power level. In fact. I set my power level, and then turned on the boost.
My brakes work fine, and as mentioned, better at speed. Remember Inertia based brake controllers, need inertia to work properly. Plus they work better after they have warmed up, a lot better.
My only problem, is sometimes I dial in too much. IF I can feel the trailer brakes come on with the pedal, I have too much. The TV, and TT should stop as one, with no jerk from the TT brakes. If I can't feel them, how do I know they are working? I have heard the tires crying when under a hard stop.
For me I don't feel that, when it does come on firm it stays that way until I get off the pedal. But you are right in one way, the more boost and faster I go, when I need to stop quickly it does do that no problem but it does not let off as I slow down. Once it comes on it stays that way, and it is true that once the brakes have warmed up it is more sensitive.
