TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - Problem Setting Power On Prodigy Brake Controller After Upgrading To 15" Tires

05-21-2011, 03:14 PM

I have installed all new brakes on both wheels for reasons noted in my previous post and out of paranoia I replaced all wiring from the refrigerator bay junction to each wheel with marine grade wire. I could not get lockup at any setting of my prodigy 2 controller with brakes warmed up as required. I adjusted the brake shoes twice with no great effect.

After I replaced the suspect wiring from the refrigerator bay junction to the wheels I got about 10% more current flow to the brakes than by just replacing the obviously corroded sections found earlier.

At this point I am satisfied that I have achieved adequate braking considering the high traction of this single axle system. A setting of 9 with no boost seems to work ok. The trailer seems to be taking care of itself and not pulling the TV back which could lead to fade on long downhills. It is not pushing the TV at all during braking.
