My truck dealership installed mine and it is a Towing Partner brand and can't seem to get adjusted properly. I followed directions by the book .

If the tow vehicle is in ABS while braking and the time controlled controller has locked up the trailer brakes you will soon find the trailer leading the whole mess down the road.
You never want the trailer brakes to brake more than the tow vehicle!
That is where the proportional controllers like the P2 and P3 shine.
Any brakes locking up is bad. Timed or proportional should never be set strong enough to lock the brakes. As you pointed out. That's a really bad thing.
The problem with the timed system if it is set up to brake properly on dry pavement and not lock the brakes it will lock the brakes on ice, snow or even wet roads even if the tow brakes are not skidding.
So if you set up a timed system not to lockup on a wet road you will have almost no braking effort on dry pavement.
