It is usually very quick, and a slight push on the trailer brake override slide button shows the brakes working. I am planning on replacing the plug receiver soon. I don't know what it is with the Ford plug receivers, but a lot of people have had this issue with the Ford original factory receiver -- but the factory replacement then works just fine!
If you re-read my post, this is a Ford replacement connector that I'm having issues with.
That said, it is usually my DW's job to plug that in (she does curbside stuff, I do streetside). And as wonderful as she is in other ways, she is capable of outsmarting idiotproof stuff.
Our next trip is over 500 miles total, so I'll try the small bungee and see if that improves reliability. Our cable is on the short side.
