[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 580679, member: 483"] Since this came back up I'll update. I replaced my P3 with a Hayes G2, supposedly the direct competitor of the P3 with a great reputation. I kept having the same warning issue with it. So then I completely re-wired my entire trailer front to back. I did find a wiring issue with one of the brakes and fixed it. The problem went away with the G2 but continued with the P3. The G2 is completely weak-sauce, too. I can't get it to ever apply max brakes, I don't feel safe at all with it. Often I end up having to do all braking with the truck because the controller thinks I don't need any. I'm now of the opinion that the inertia controllers are just putting too much of the decision making power in a microchip. I yearn for a simple timed controller again, will be going back to one soon. They're annoying when you are creeping up to a light and they slam the brakes on 100%, but at least you know you're going to get the braking power eventually. The P3 and G2 both leave me wondering. Right now I have them both installed with one pig tail hanging loose so I can switch back and forth. I'll get tired of one, switch to the other, get tired of it, switch back. [/QUOTE]
