Question:
The power read out on my hopkins 47285 controller will only adjust down to 10. Should it not adjust down to 5 being the lowest and 99 the highest?

I spoke with my contact at Hopkins about your Reliance 47285 brake controller only adjusting down to 10 percent and he told me that Hopkins changed their Reliance brake controllers a while back so that 10 is the lowest possible setting.
Unless you have an older brake controller, 10 is going to be the lowest setting possible. Some troubleshooting steps that you can take to verify that there is not an issue is to inspect the ground wire to ensure it is clean and mounted to a good ground location and inspect the 12-volt power and brake switch wires for good connections.
If you have a plug-in style wiring adapter, then you will want to check that the connectors are clean and making good contact.
