• Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite for Disc Brakes That Wont Power Up
  I would start by checking to make sure that you're getting power on the 12v auxiliary power circuit on your 2003 Chevy Silverado's 7 way plug; since the Titan BrakeRite # T4813102 receives its' power from this circuit it's possible that your problem lies here. You'll need a circuit tester like the # PTW2993, and you'll want to turn the truck on and test the pin at 1 o'clock when looking at the front of the 7 way receptacle. If you're getting 12v power from the vehicle then we can isolate...

• What PSI is the Titan Brake Actuator T4813102 Rated For?
  The Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 has the maximum hydraulic pressure of 1,500 psi. As this is an electric over hydraulic system, you will not be able to use the Hayes-Lemmerz Energize III+ Electric Trailer Brake Controller # HA81742B, unfortunately. That being said, If you wanted a Hayes controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic systems, you will want the G2 Brake Boss # HA81792BB. This is also a proportional controller and...

• Adapter to Convert BrakeRite to Drum Brakes and Connect to Integrated Brake Controller
  To convert a Titan BrakeRite from a disc brake application to a drum you would need the adapter you mentioned part # T4844100 and then to use with integrated brake controllers you would also need the # T4845900. These both plug inline like you mentioned. Then for a breakaway kit you'd want the part # T4822100. You would not need an SD controller. If needed your trailer would have already have that.

• Troubleshooting Brake-Rite II SD Breakaway Batteries Draining Very Fast
  I would start by verifying that you are getting 12 volt power from your tow vehicle that will charge the batteries on your trailer.

• Troubleshooting Titan BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator-Won't Build Pressure
  I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha, who is doubtful the controller is the issue. The voltage from the controlleer that's sent to the actuator is very minimal, it's just telling the actuator when and how hard to fire. The actuator is actually powered by the 12 volt auxiliary circuit from the 7-way, which delivers the power that actually runs the actuator. Since the controller will cause the actuator to cycle, and using a different truck seems to solve the problem, it tends to point the...

• Troubleshooting Titan Brake Rite Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator
  According to Titan, if only the white and black wires are connected, the hydraulic pump should not run. With those two wires attached, the pump should start when the blue wire is touched to the positive battery terminal. The folks at Titan tell me that the two most common problems in an electric over hydraulic braking system are low brake fluid level and a system that's been incorrectly wired or has had a connection come loose. Please ensure that the brake fluid master cylinder is...

• Troubleshooting Titan Brake-Rite That Pump Wont Pressurize
  If your Titan BrakeRite # T4813102 is not building pressure you are going to want to start by ensuring the actuator is properly grounded to a 12 volt battery. Should that not be the cause, test the actuator using a voltmeter with the tow vehicle connected to the trailer. Look at the volts from the black wire to the white wire, first when the brakes are NOT applied and then when the brakes ARE applied. The voltage when the brakes are NOT applied should be around 12, and when NOT applied...

• Will Titan SD Adapter for Ford Factory Brake Controllers Part # T4845900 Reduce Braking Time Delay
  My contact at Titan advises that the Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, part # T4813102, will begin to develop hydraulic pressure approximately 3/10ths of a second after the tow vehicle brakes are applied (and after the brake controller sends its braking signal to the actuator). It is normal for the hydraulic pressure from the actuator to take additional time to build up, travel through the lines and reach the trailer brake assemblies. An overall delay of 1 to 2 seconds is typical....

  The female end of the 7-Way harness included with the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play # T4813102 that plugs into the trailer features standard 7-Way wiring. I have attached a diagram of how the connector is wired that you can check out. Since you received an error message when hooking up the unit and trailer to two different trucks, there might be an issue with the trailer side 7-Way. I recommend inspecting the 7-Way on your trailer for any debris or corrosion inside the pins that needs...

• OEM Brake Controller Compatible Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator-2018 Ford Raptor
  According to my research, the current Ford OEM brake controllers are compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic braking systems, so you could simply use a EOH actuator like the HydraStar # HS381-8067 which is specifically designed for boat trailers.

• Electric Hydraulic Actuator or New Brake Controller for 2013 Chevy Silverado With Factory Controller
  The truth of the matter is that there simply isn't an electric over hydraulic brake actuator that is going to work well with the factory brake controller in your 2013 Chevy Silverado because those controllers were designed for electric brakes only. So even with a new EOH actuator like the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 you would still need the Titan BrakeRite SD Adapter for Ford/Chevy Integral Brake Controllers # T4845900. That would be...

• Converting Trailer from Drum Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes to Disc
  I attached a help article that covers adding disc brakes to a trailer for you to check out but basically you are going to need to swap out your hub/rotors and also swap out the drum brake actuator you have with one designed for disc brakes as they require a higher psi. So for a Dacromet coated disc brake kit that is confirmed as a fit for your 5,200 lb axles you'd want the # K2HR526D but you are going to have to also upgrade you wheels and tire to a 15 inch setup since none of the disc...

• Recommended EOH Actuator for Use with Kodiak E-Coat Disc Brake Kit K2HR35E-8
  Disc brake actuators are available in either a 1500-psi or a 1600-psi pressure rating. Either rating will work with the KodiakDisc Brake Kit that you referenced. In cases where the trailer was a tandem axle set-up, or if it was a very long trailer, it would not be a bad idea to choose a 1600-psi actuator over a 1500, but again, either will work just fine. The main thing is to make sure the actuator is rated for disc brakes and not drum brakes, which need only 1000-psi to operate. The...

• Does Titan BrakeRite SD II Electric Over Hydraulic Braking System Work with OEM Ram Brake Controller
  From what I've read in an online copy of the owner's manual, the Ram OEM brake controller is compatible with electric over hydraulic trailer braking system like the Titan # T4813102, although the manual goes on to say that 'Some previous EOH systems may not be compatible with the ITBC'. You can test this by plugging in the trailer in question. If you get the 'Trailer Connected' message on the instrument cluster, the trailer and controller are compatible.
