Redarc Tow Pro Elite Install

[Jhbryaniv]

Yes, the controller will only activate/wake-up when it sees a load from the trailer brakes. Otherwise it is in sleep mode. The light will then be blue while the trailer is plugged in. It will change to red/purple when the brakes are applied.

And with an actual trailer with brakes connected one will be able to tell if it works, or the bored the install... ?

Hoping someone can point me in a direction with my brake controller install. I recently picked up a Tow Pro Liberty and installed, got a test light which shows everything is connected properly except the light for the brakes themselves will not illuminate. I went back out there and soldered everything together per the instructions and used this thread as a reference. At this moment I don't have access to anything with a 7-pin to test but I'd like to confirm it's working before I need trailer brakes. Does anyone have any experience here or what to check?

Go to the Ranger forum for your region and try to find someone with a trailer nearby. Go to their home, plug in and check that all is ok?

Turns out a buddy nearby has a car trailer, I'll be heading over to hook up sometime this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions.

First, check if that trailer has electric brakes or surge brakes. You need a trailer that has electric brakes to verify your install.

Great write up, thanks!

Installed the TowPro Elite v3 today in my 2019. For what it’s worth, my 3/2019 build had a blue wire.

Please forgive me if this was asked earlier. Reading 19 pages...whew...that's too much right now. Just got back driving 1700 miles and this was it's first use for me. I wired as indicated here earlier and the whole time driving home it flashed green every second. What might be wrong?

Look at page 23 (Troubleshooting) of manual located here.
