Brake Controller Set Up - Tekonsha Primus IQ
I'm inexperienced with trailers and just installed a Primus IQ and used it with a newish trailer that likely was never towed with the brakes active. All I did was set a recommended boost per the man...

I went through the controller set up and it seems OK now. The default power setting was 13 so that must have been my hot brake issue. Set to 6, the brakes do not lock with the manual/ 25 mph test but I can feel it slow down a bit.
I checked the manual and the tow/ haul mode still seems to use overdrive. (It does not say it does not.) I'll use that plus set in 3rd for down hill. I was on the freeway today and down the largest local 50 mph hill and it seems OK. I'll be driving it but want to be prepared as possible to avoid newbie issues because I did not know any better.
On this same note, is there a way to safely test the emergency breakaway switch?
Thanks for all of the input.
