Should Light of Reese POD Brake Controller be On When Trailer isn't Connected
Published 06/30/2016
Question:
i just hooked up the POD E brake that I just received from you folks on my Infinity qx 56 The LED light is not coming on. Does it only come on if I hook up to a trailer or should it come on when I turn on the suv?

When no trailer is connected the light on brake controller # 39523 will either be flashing or off. If it is green all the time with no trailer connected that indicates a short to ground. This normally occurs when there is corrosion on the pins or where the wires attach on the trailer connector.
The Reese Pod brake controller should be connected as follows.
White - Ground
Black - 12 Volt Constant Power
Red - Cold Side of the Brake Pedal Switch
Blue - Trailer Brake feed to Trailer Brakes
