It is likely the issue is that you are using the adapter module # HBA-CAM. The Prodigy P3 # 90195 will work with the Hydrastar brake actuators directly. The Carlisle name you may want to look up as some of the Carlisle Hydrastar actuators were recalled.
I can guarantee that the P3 controller and the # HBA-12 for drum brakes or # HBA16 for disc brakes will work without an adapter.
If your vehicle has a integrated brake controller, you will need to make sure it has been disconnected and the TIPM has been reconfigured after disconnecting the ITBM. I've attached and article to assist.
