Problems with brake gain adj

I have 2005 250 Superduty and can not get the Trailer Brake Gain to adjust. It is stuck on 10 and will not move down. I've tried with or without the trailer, nothing works. Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?

Interesting problem, and not one I've seen mentioned here before. But, there are reports of fail brake control modules, and it could be that the pushbutton is not making contact. All I can offer is, it is pretty easy to change out that module.

this is new...have you tried to take the fuse out for a few minutes. then replace and start the truck up? Other wise I would have to suspect the module. Your truck is 2005 so I suspect you are out of warranty? Or is it possible to take it in?

Maybe try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes or so, it may be in a locked up state.. This is just a guess...but it can't hurt to try.

Good idea, and nothing to lose.

I'm definitely out of warranty, when I get to the house I'll disconnect the battery for a while and re-connect. I'll get back with the outcome.
