Why Does Light of Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller Stay On
Published 08/18/2016
Question:
do the small digital lights on the lower corners ever turn off ? i know the left one means there is power to the unit and the right one shows there is some amount of boost . is there going to be a concern about coming out to my truck after a week to find a dead battery ?

Expert Reply:
The indicator of a brake controller will stay on for several minutes after the vehicle has been turned off and exited. If you leave the vehicle undisturbed the controller will go into sleep mode and the light should go off. However, even if it did the amperage draw of the LED light is so miniscule that it would take months to drain a vehicle battery. Which by then the battery would be dead from inactivity.
