Let me see if I can type this so that folks can understand......
I recently bought a small Jayco travel trailer. It is a single axle, 3500 pound loaded weight and has electric trailer brakes.
I pull it with my 2011 Toyota Tundra 5.7l that has the factory towing package installed but did not come with the factory brake controller like some of the newer models. I purchased and installed a Hopkins Impulse controller and the factory wiring harness pigtail that allowed a plug and go scenario.
When I depress the gain button, the digital numeric values light as thet should as does the same digital display when I manually adjust controllers output. So obviously I have power to that point
When the new camper is hooked up and I depress the brake pedal nothing lights up and the trailer brake is not activated. I got my trusty old 12v test light and proceeded to the rear of the truck to test each of the 7 prongs of the 7 prong receptacle.
right turn signal.....bright red test light
left turn signal......bright red light
flashers................bright red light
back up lights.......bright red light
Running lights.......bright red light
BRAKE LIGHTS......very dim, barely visible red light????
any ideas green screen as to where to start
