Expert Reply:
Integrated factory brake controller notoriously don't work well with electric over hydraulic actuators. If you let me know what brand of actuator you have I can see if there's an adapter that would work with it or you could always go to an aftermarket controller like the P2 # 90885 which will work very well with the actuator.
