I just installed a "curt" on my truck. Took my time went very slowly. Now when I hit the brakes it blinks red indicating a possible short it says. This is pretty basic stuff - could the unit be damaged? Mine will not do what yours is showing. Black to power - white to ground - red to brake light switch - blue to trailer. hmm..
@kmmmor3 жыл бұрын
Hmm, did you try bench testing it like this? And just to be sure, red should get B+ on the red wire for the brakes being applied... Did you check the wiring on the vehicles side with a voltmeter? Those two should narrow it down whether it's the controller or the vehicle's wiring...

If you are able to help I’m just using a volt meter instead of a light. With a car battery hooked to the black and white wires the blue wire has 12v Without touching anything on the controller. Bad controller? I’m testing it because I had 12v at my brake pin on the truck with no brakes being pushed. Thanks for the great video!
@kmmmor3 жыл бұрын
I think I remember doing the same, and if I remember correctly the manufacturer said that was normal as it will have voltage to it but the amperage is almost nothing. You might have to try it with a load?

I have the same thing going on and it's not the coil because I swapped out a couple with no change. Also swapped cdi, stator, start/stop switch with no success. Anybody got any ideas?

Had to look twice but it seems by color code, the black wire is to ground and the white wire to B+ positive. Electrons do not know the difference however standardization of color codes helps.

did you just run this to a car battery? using the positive and the negative sides, then the blue to a bulb with the outgoing to ground?

When I hook it up with my trailer and apply the brakes ,the brake unit shows 00 and when I try and adjust it, nothing happens. Do you know whats wrong with it?

Is this for the same model, Draw-tite Activator II? I don't see in the manual what 00 would be, the output knob is turned up right?

***** It was the ignition coil, I got a Kawasaki coil (you can probably find the part# by Googling it), which is the same Mitsubishi coil Yamaha uses but cheaper
