Answer 1

Yes a proportional Curt controller like the part #C24VV could easily replace a #C74VV. It would be just a matter of unplugging the old controller and plugging in the new one. For suspension enhancement I would go with the Timbren kit part #TJRJK…

The flashing output of a Curt Triflex normally indicates that the brake pedal is pressed but a trailer isn't connected. Since yours is flasing all the time that would indicate that you most likely have a short between the 12 volt power wire for…

Answer 3

Curt brake controllers like the TriFlex #C24VV should show a red light when the brake pedal is pressed, even when the trailer is not connected. This is just the way that Curt designed them to show they are still receiving the signal even though they…

Answer 9

The 12 volt power wire that runs to the Curt Triflex part #C24VV is hot all the time but when the controller isn't in use it goes into a sleep mode that prevents the battery from draining when not used for a while.

Answer 10

Your Triflex controller is a proportional controller which means that with the brake pedal it's only going to apply braking power if it senses deceleration. If you are sitting still when you performed this test (most likely) then the controller…

Answer 11

This is a common issue when there is corrosion built up on the brake output pin of the 7-way. What this does is cause the controller to sense a slight amperage draw which confuses it into thinking a trailer is connected. The other thing you can try…

Answer 12

You're right, the mounting bracket is unique (in a good way) for the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller #C24VV. The bracket is smaller and all you do is put the included adhesive tape on the bracket and stick it wherever you like under…
