It honestly sounds like there may be an internal issue with the brake controller that requires a full replacement. I would start though by simply unplugging the controller from power, letting it sit for a bit, and then hooking it back up. Hopefully this will reset the unit and get it back to working like normal.

The Lippert 4,400 Lb Axle uses part #L68149 for the inner bearing and part #58846 for the grease seal. The outer bearing can be either part #L44649 or part #LM67048. The L44649 I believe is for 5-lug and the LM67048 I believe is for 6-lug but I…
