I finally done it / and Jordan question

Well, after many many years of wanting a 5th wheel I finally done it. I have wanted a toy hauler but never could bring myself to signing for that much of a trailer. So I downsized for now and bought a 27' with a 16' slide. It will work well for the family for now.

Here's my Jordan question. I have used a Jordan brake controller for a few years. I havent pulled anything with brakes in about a year so I havent had to use the controller. Today when I plugged in the new trailer I have all lights working but do not have any power to the brakes. I dont even have the green power connection light on the controller. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong.

I have a Jordan as well which I really like. I will check the wiring tomorrow morning and get back to you if someone doesn't give you the right information. Does your truck have the trailer tow wiring installed from the factory? There should be an bundle of four wires under the dash not attached to anything.
The Jordan is a very simple install. If I remember correctly I lowered the attachment point of the cable to the brake peddle to get a little aggressive braking. You can always turn the gain down.

You might check for a blown fuse for the trailer brakes in one of the fuse panels. I would think it might be the one under the hood. I am guessing on that as I am not familiar with the 3rd gens.

Check fuse #12. That one goes through the brake controller to the brakes. The Jordan gets its power from that feed.

Fuse #26 would be the stop light switch but the Jordan doesn't use that one.
