Brake Controller Question

My brake controller which has worked wonderful in the past, now seems to stay on all the time. It used to be that if I snapped the overide back the light would come off. However, it now stays on all the time. Is there a solution to this problem? I'm not looking forward to buying a new one. Anyone have any ideas?

If you know the manufacturer, do a search for that website - most of them include a tech support section.

Tekonsha's Prodigy is the hot ticket right now. I have one and love it. It's extremely popular. Draw-Tite sells it under their logo, too. You can get it for 99.00 on the web. Much cheaper than Camping world.

brake controller trouble

You have not hit the gain on your controller that would make it work all the time. Check that and that it was not hit and the level was not moved if it was the mercury switch would have the brakes on all the time. Check the settings of your controller to the manual or check on line with the controller that you have.I had a Tecshina controller before I got my truck with tow command and it was a very good controller. My spelling of the controller is not right. good luck.
