Re: electric/hydraulic brakes

I have the Carlisle unit and they have a module that allows the Prodigy and the integrated Ford controllers to work. Works great.

There are 2 dif. adjustments on my brake controller. I believe one is for how fast(delay) you want the brakes to grab and the other for how hard you want them to grab. Have a Draw Tite activater2 and a Carlisle system on the trailer. Good luck Wrink

Re: electric/hydraulic brakes

The only problem is I cant tell what kind of brake system is on the trailer.The trailer is a vanguard vip arizona.Also noticed a switch on the truck controller(reese)on side for sync?I will do a search on the trailer co.Anyway to tell stickers are painted Doent look like a brake rite mine is long rectangular.

Re: electric/hydraulic brakes

I read the instructions today the sync switch makes the brakes come in faster so we will see how that works first.I forgot about it even though I saw it when installing it!
