Review of the Pilot 2-6 Brake Electronic Brake Controller
Today we are going to show you part number 39518 from Hidden Hitch. This is the Pilot 1 to 3 axle electronic brake controller. This is the time delay version. What is really nice about this brake controller is that it gives you 2 different options on mounting it to your vehicle. You can mount it with the traditional bracket or the ball mount where you can mount it at an angle and put it in any position you want. It does have a LED numeric display that shows the voltage output. There is even a way that if you want to mount it upside down the numbers on the display will stay right side up. Another nice feature is that it has diagnostic where it tells you if a wire has a short or not.
Now we will show you how it works. First off is the manual override which is the button on the side here that activates the trailer brakes by themselves. Also on the left hand side there is a thumb wheel. It is really easy to use. What it controls is the total output of the brake controller itself. Over towards the front it is full power and then back towards the rear of the vehicle shuts it off. It is also nice that you can see here on the LED display it says C for connected. Also when you hit your brakes it does a numeric display. It shows that in voltage to so we have a full 12 volts going out.
Next we will show you whats in the box. Obviously the brake controller it self. Also the 2 mounting brackets right here. The traditional mounting where it mounts right back here towards the rear of the brake controller. We have this mount here where the mounting bracket is round or ball type bracket. You can actually move this as you need it to accommodate your dash. Any and all additional hardware required to install it also comes in the box. There you have it for part number 39518 from Hidden Hitch the Pilot 1 to 3 axle Electronic Brake Controller.
