The reason i bought the Prodigy is because of the feed back I read in different posts on this site. I would have never known about it otherwise.

the will not stay on all the time. they come on when you hit the brake pedal after starting the truck and will shut off 15 min after turning the truck off

I just installed my prodigy brake controller, and I only have one light staying on when the truck is on, not two. I hooked up to a trailer and it worked fine. Why aren't both lights staying on?

If you have only one light, that means that you don't have any boost turned on.

Right...thanks for your help. I love this new controller so far. I have been pulling a skiddy around today as we dig out from the snow...so far so good. Thanks again.
