Tekonsha voyager led
Just got a used brake controller and hooked it up to my 92 F250. Got some wires crossed, then straigtened that out, but I think I might have smoked the controller. I thought the led was supposed to light when the power and ground were connected, regardless of wether or not the triler is connected, and I have nothing at any time, brake pedal depressed or slide lever activated. I searched for troubleshooting but all I can find is for with trailer connected tessts. I verified power to the blck wire and groud on the white. Blue is connected to the blue on the truck side, wich should go to the trailer plug, and I have the red going to the brake light switch.
TIA!

The way I read the installation guide, the light doesn't come on until the trailer is connected.

But then, my opinion, get yourself a Prodigy. You don't have to level it, it gives way more feedback to the driver than just one LED and they are not expensive, about $100.

Yes
I agree the Prodigy is worth the price difference in most cases, but this one was free and money's been REAL tight lately.

THats what it looks like to me too, but I could have sworn the one in my dump truck was lit all the time.

Well that makes me feel better. I dont have my trailer nearby so I'll have to wait to try it out. If I were to ground the blue wire or run it to ground through a resistor to simulate the trailer brakes, it should turn on the LED.. in theory. Any thoughts on that?

I have had hands on about 5 of them now and they are a great (kinda old school controller) I personally don't need all the fancy digital stuff thats on the market.
My '99 F350 HAD an OLD Tekonsha Commander controller in it when I purchased it-THAT COMMANDER controller was a BIG P O S!
I love my Voyager money aside!
