Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
I purchased a prodigy p2 brake controller and had it installed on my 2011 Nissan Titan in 2011. All went well except once in a while it would hang up and start flashing 05 when the trailer was not hitched up.
I would hit the controller brake and it would stop. Recently it has been hanging up very often mostly when I cut off the ignition. (my quick reference card doesn't list 05 as a code). Can't find my controller owner manual. If I forget to check the trailer controller when I turn off the ignition it flashes until I start the truck which in the winter may be a week or more. Something is amiss and it is pulling on my truck battery.
I am female, in my 70's and not mechanically inclined. Need some ideas so I don't get ripped off when I take it in. I will gladly buy a new controller IF that is the problem. I am thinking its a short. But I have no idea what the life expectancy of a brake controller is. I put about 10,000 miles annually hauling the trailer.
