Re: Brake lights working but Prodigy says not connected
Thanks for all the help. I figured it out, and this morning it's working very well. Re: putting the wire in the right connection points, if anyone else may run across the same problem, I found this link as a quick fix to identify the wires coming from the trailer, no matter what the configuration is at the trailer side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-VYf5MltgI Possibly it was more confusing as I am going from a pin style at the trailer to a blade style connector at the end of the umbilical.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Brake lights working but Prodigy says not connected
I am pretty sure the wiring on my trailer or the umbilical cord is not standard. I guess I will be re-testing all the wires on the cord to make sure they are accurate. Is there a best practice for doing this. I expect it will be easy to find the rt and lft blinkers, reverse, and clearance lights, but not necessarily the ground, electric brakes, and Aux power.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Brake lights working but Prodigy says not connected
Swapping the corroded plug this afternoon and I don't think that the wires I have are correct. I purchased new 7 pins for my TV and the pig tail. I can't seem to find a diagram for this connector. It is a 3101 Signal-Stat. Does anyone have one? it has 3 connections on top, 3 in middle row, 1 on bottom. Currently, L-R is TOP Yellow, Red, Green Middle L-R, Blue, Black, Brown Bottom = White1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Brake lights working but Prodigy says not connected
Thanks for the details. I took the 7 way apart on my TV and it's fairly corroded. At the pin there was no reading, but when I pulled the blue wire out, got a great response from the voltmeter directly on the blue wire. Will replace the receptacle tomorrow and send an update.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsBrake lights working but Prodigy says not connected
I posted earlier about my 69 Airstream Overlander and my TV is a 99 2500 Suburban. I have found that the brake controller to be odd about working properly and am trying to find out if the problem is. Based on forum recommendations I swapped my draw tite activator 2 for a Prodigy 2. This afternoon I installed it. The trailer brake lights seem to be working and I can hear a noise from the rear passenger wheel on the trailer like it's engaging the brake. The Prodigy shows two dots indicating not connected. Any ideas? Is it possible that I have a bad connection on the pig tail wires going to the trailer or my vehicle?8.7KViews0likes16CommentsBrake Controller acting weird - video included
I have a 69 Airstream Overlander and my TV is a 99 2500 Suburban. I have found that the brake controller to be odd about working properly and am trying to find out if the problem is the controller or on my trailer. Sometimes it will work perfect, and I have found that 4.5 is about the right setting, but sometimes without moving the setting, the controller returns to 0.5 or goes haywire...see video. brake controller acting weird I also at times will turn the setting to the most friction, which should be 10.0, but often doesn't go above 1.5 when in the same position. Thanks in advance for your help diagnosing this.2.6KViews0likes7Comments
