Absolutely. The brakes don't have to be applied nearly that hard to create this event, and I think I could probably stop at that rate without the trailer brakes at all.

Was the traction good at the time (no wheel slippage)?
First observed on dry pavement, 45mph at a changing traffic light, a harder stop than usual, but not any big deal. Subsequently established that it does this with any similar stop.

Are yor brake lights in good condition - no flashing, no burned-out bulbs?
I just checked, and the turn signals and brake lights on the TV are operational.

Also, there is no question that the Prodigy was showing voltage pulses corresponding to the pulsing brakes. Prodigy "boost" setting was not selected. I've decided to call Tekonsha tech support when I get a chance.

Thanks for your help in thinking this through!
