Ram 1500 brake controller

[Videocrafters]

We just picked up our 19 and drove it home. Before coming home I tried to adjust the integrated break control in my 2020 Ram 1500. I drove slowly and manually squeezed the controller. They do work, but I wasn’t getting much stopping power until I went all the way to 10 (maximum setting). On my last trailer if I made the setting to high the trailer breaks would lock up and I would set the controller a little lower, but with the Ram I am maxed out. This seems not right. Anyone have any experience with this?

I haven't used mine yet but I discovered I had to set it on the screen for how much I wanted in braking.

For any vehicle / brake controller combination exhibiting that symptom my first action is to clean (contact cleaner) the male and female sides of the bumper-plug, refresh the light coating of corrosion-inhibiting dielectric grease, and gently pry the contact blades to ensure they are 'tight' when they mate.

All just aimed at ensuring the full current is getting from the vehicle harness to the trailer harness. Just for your consideration.
