Electric brake problems
 

I have a hayes energize 3 proportional brake controller, when I step on the brakes, no trailer brakes. When I slide the manual brake controller, brakes work. I wonder if it has something to do with my truck?

It's a pendulum type. Check to see that the pendulum is properly adjusted.

Sounds like either the controller bit the dust or it lost its' signal coming from the brake pedal/stop light switch.

i'm with rad check the pendulum first and then if its getting power from the brake pedal.

Dido on the above .mine ended up biting the dust ,also had a prodigy do the same thing.been using P3s in the trucks but will be phasing in brake smarts next round

My old Energize eventually started doing that as the potentiometer inside started wearing. The proportional braking never disappeared completely, it just got more erratic than normal. ;) I limped it along for a while by changing the level setting a bit, so the contact would catch it in a different place. I finally decided I might as well move up into the 90s, so I replaced it with a Prodigy.

It is fairly new (2-3 months old) I will have to check the pendulum thing, unfortunately it will be 4-6 weeks from now, been in an accident and am unable to drive.
