Thanks for the update, Gary. I'll bet that with the brake light switch not releasing, not only was your cruise control disabled, but your brake lights were staying on as well. Maybe it's a good thing...

By this method you have chosen the setting which would be suitable if your tug had no brakes and you always used full trailer brake application. If that happens to come to the same number as required...

Good idea. The typical brake magnet (for a 10" brake) has a resistance of about 4 ohms so it uses 3 amps; so a single-axle trailer would be running two of them in combination for 6 amps (at 12 volts)...

If it's the same side locking all the time, I would suspect the brakes themselves rather than controller adjustment.

A Prodigy (and presumably the P3) has a "hold" feature: when you stop, it keeps the trailer brakes lightly applied, even though you are no longer decelerating. This could explain a low output setting...

I wouldn't have any concern about the age, and this model has proper proportional functionality; however, it does use a pendulum as a sensor (all-electronic is easier to keep adjusted and generally...

I agree of course that the specific controller will determine the details of setup and operation - although any common proportional controller works in fundamentally the same way - so knowing that it...

If someone asked "I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow... what route should I take?", it would of course not be possible to answer without asking where they want to go.
This is more like "I'm leaving on...

If by that you mean that the rig slows down the same way as without the trailer - same pedal effort for a given rate of braking - then you have the right setting.

In general, copying someone...

The trailer dragging means the brakes are functioning, but not that they are at the right level.

The instructions for most controllers say to coast at about 25 mph and fully apply the manual...
