Tekonsha Prodigy issue

Up until a few days ago, my Prodigy was displaying "nc" on the display like it should when not connected. Then all of a sudden it's acting like I'm connected. It shows voltage numbers as I brake. Nothing has changed as far as I know and I have yet to tow this year. Any ideas?

    I had the same thing happen last year on one of my Prodigy controllers... it ended up being a short in the loom that ran along the frame from the front of the RV to the rear plug. Some of the wires got pinched.

    You could have a short in the plug at the rear, or anywhere in the wires in between...
  • You may have a short in the 7 way connector on the truck.

    If you have had rain like most of the rest of the country that may be the problem.

    First look into the connector and see if it is full of water or worse mud and junk.

    If that is the problem be glad you have a controller that will warn you of such problems.
