Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Yes the controller does sound like it has an internal problem that is not repairable and would be time to replace the entire thing. The Draw Tite iCommand part # 5535 would be a great option to replace with as it's a proportional brake controller that's a little more advanced and is very reliable. It would plug right into the same connector as well.
