Trailer brake controller problems

Lately when towing I get trailer fault message and check trailer message. I have replaced both plugs but still have problem. Yesterday I tried to lower setting but would only increase to 10 now will not decrease, any ideas?

Since the level setting does not respond, I would think you have a failed brake module. IIRC, they are about $300 from partsguyed.

You might try pulling it and just checking the harness connection. They are very easy to pull.
