Question: How does an under-dash or trailer-mounted controller work? Answer: The driver activates the controller from his normal seating position when the brakes are activated.
How to set trailer braking
The knob on the controller must be pre-set according to the trailer's weight. Most trailers carry the same weight daily—for example, builders' trailers, car carriers, pop tops, RVs, etc. Multi vehicles can tow trailers with trailer-mounted brake controllers in Queensland and NSW. You no longer need multiple controllers in all cars to tow the same trailer.
We recommend that a licensed repair facility install Controllers. Some buyers return the unit claiming that it is not working. In most instances, a blown diode is the cause of this unit not working. Submersion also causes diodes to blow. Blown diodes indicate there is no warranty claim.
