I installed a tow pro elite quite a bit ago in my 200 series and finally getting around to using It.

I can switch between proportional (blue) and manual (green), although the green seems harder to see. When braking I don’t see that the illumination is turning red, nor does the over-ride seem to be working. All the lights are working on the trailer and I know the brakes work - have used on another vehicle and can hold the vehicle in place when using the Ford standard override.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

@REDARCRyan - any ideas?

Has it finished recalibrating after hooking up the trailer?

I’m going to try and reset the system and see what happens. Also going to see what happens when i hook up to another trailer

What’s your setting at? My understanding is that if it’s on a low setting (#1) the amount of force you have to apply to your vehicle brakes is more to activate your trailer brakes and maybe that’s why your not seeing the red. Versus it being on #10 and having to apply less pressure on your vehicle brakes to make the trailer brake.

Just a guess

Ive adjusted the gain from 0 all the way to 10, and there is no impact. Plan on resetting and testing with another trailer(s).

If you’re not seeing red during brake activations, I wonder if you have a ground problem and the brake circuit isn’t actually working?

I’ll also run a volt meter to the vehicle side trailer plug to ensure that isn’t the problem
