Expert Reply:
If no trailer is connected after installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR, this will actually be the Active Calibration. The LED will only stay Blue when the trailer is connected. Essentially, whether a trailer is connected or not, just drive normally and Active Calibration will ensure the Tow-Pro Elite learns the correct direction of travel.
However, if this is happening when a trailer is connected, you may need to check a few things. I included a picture from the instructions that shows what the issue could be as well.
If these do not get your # RED44FR up and running properly, let me know and we can try a few other things.
