Anyone out there having problems with their tow command, when hooked up to a trailer with electric brakes.

 

What kind of problems are you having? Got mine in the 06 and pull a 38' 11" 5th wheel. Computer takes over and adjusts the gain. .....More Info.!!!!

 

Mine acted up once saying disconnected, but a little WD40 in the connectors took care of the issue. You need to give more detail on your problem.

 

No problems here. Beats the heck out of the aftermarket brake contollers.

 

I am not the original poster of this thread, but do have issues.
I have been seeing more issues out of my Tow Command unit. I receive either Trailer Disconnect or a Trailer Fault warning with the loss of trailer brakes while this is happening. This is happening on my main Toy Hauler trailer that I tow a lot. I have also seen it happen on my flat bed car hauler. The flat bed has been towed by other vehicles without the Tow Command and it has been fine. I have checked wiring, cleaned plugs, grounds, etc without any help. I have researched this some and found it may actually be the magnets in the trailer brakes not liking the tow command system. If anyone has any help on this, it would be great. By the research I have done more then a few people have installed an aftermarket trailer brake box. I love the Tow Command when it is working correctly.

 

Did you check to see if the brake pressure transducer that goes into the brake module to see if it was out or loose? That will throw a TBC Fault or Trailer Disconnect error on you.

 

I had problems on my companies 05 F-350 PSD. We thought it was the trailer and "fixed" the problem but unfortunatly on the ride with a 10000 pound machine on the back the trailer disconnect/fault came on. I told my boss but he didnt care

 

He actually better care, otherwise I can sense a losing lawsuit for him if there is an accident that could have been avoided by fixing that.

 

WD40 is not made for anything electrical, it does not conduct well with electrical components.

 

2-26 would be better for that, it's designed to work around electrical components

 

It's a water displacement compound (WD in wd-40) and I've used it in electrical applications for at least 20 years with excellent results. A quick search turned up this:

So, while there may be better options, it seems WD-40 is a decent choice.

 

Thought I was having issues (trailer disconneced/trailer fault ) with it but it turned out to be the brake wiring at the wheel wire was rubbing on spring pack once I secured it no more issues

 

am having the same problems that cparks describes.
some times i can travel an hour without a trailer disconnect.
Sometimes I will get every two minutes.

 

Yes it is. Ever had a distributer cap get moisture on the inside and cause the vehicle not to run? A little squirt of WD-40 on the inside of it would clear the problem up.

Off topic, since it is highly flamable, it's also good for finding vacuum leaks on a gasoline engine. With the engine running, it you spray if over a suspected cracked vacuum line, the engine will rev when it sucks the WD-40 into the line. I've also used it to prove an intake manifold gasket was leaking on a gasoline engine.

 

I know hes not only my boss but my dad too....hes stuburn. i think its been working latly but i havent towed wiht it lately. i only used our 650
