[QUOTE="jimijam19K, post: 1226290, member: 18190"] OK this is going to sound stupid and it probably is but the Tekonsha brake contoller in my tow rig was wired by the PO. I've only used it once so far (last summer, in town) and it seemed to work fine then, so I'm not sure what's normal. #1 Does power to the controller need to be battery hot or can it be switched? Mine is currently battery hot. leading to... #2 The blue feed wire leaving the contoller to the 7-way is battery hot as well. I thought that wire would only have power when the brakes are being applied. Am I missing something or is the controller fried? TIA [/QUOTE]
