IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL FORD OWNERS, ESPECIALLY F150: Before you go off on the brake controller, know that Ford has an ongoing problem with their built in brake controller. I have a new airstream with a similar problem. I am constantly getting a "trailer disconnected" message. Yet the brake lights and running lights work.
According to the dealer, a former Ford employee I know and, another non-Airstream dealer, the trailer is recognizing the truck, thus the working lights on the trailer. But, the truck keeps forgetting that the trailer is there, thus I may or may not have brakes when the truck tells me that the trailer is disconnected. Even when the truck recognized the trailer, I too have trouble getting the brakes to lock up using the adjuster. I just set the level at 7 until I get this solved. I haven't talked to Ford yet and, need to Google the issue. You might want to do the same before you act. This happens with many brands of trailers. Also, a few GM trucks using the same system are affected. Let me know if you learn more and, I will do the same.
