FuzzFace2 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Here's the pictures of my unit. This new phone is very awkward to get photos with. None of these wires look all that heavy gauge either. Little late up date. It looks like your unit is little newer than Bill's and what I have dealt with. On Bill's you turn the knob that maves when you step on the brakes. Yours has that wheel that dose the same thing. The spring I was talking of dose not come with the controller it is an extra. Depending on what you pull you can try with out it and see what happens. If the trailer is unloaded or is light on weight and locks up the trailer brakes then you will need the spring resister. I tried Etrailer looking for it but did not find it?So maybe you will be ok?

I'm installing the 4 flat/7 blade combo so that I have the option of hauling other stuff later. The UHaul has automatic surge brakes so my controller wont even be needed. I just wanted to have it wired correctly since it was already plumbed into my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have grown to like the all electronic controllers but you have to get the good ones, read $$$ that use a pendulum not the junk timed ones.

Dave ---- I didn't pay all that much for my electronic brake controller (not a timer unit!). Tekonsha Primus IQ. Got it in barely used condition for $50 if memory serves. Available new for just over $100. Very good bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
