The ironic thing about the Hopkins Reliance brake controller is that it is notorious for failing without notice and therefore not something you can typically "rely" on. We actually stopped carrying it because of all of the issues it had. You are going to have to replace the brake controller as yours had an internal problem and is now permanently damaged.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy as it is incredibly reliable, works, well and is easy to use. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
