Pro Series/Tekonsha Pilot Brake Controller Shows N.C. on Trailer with Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes

Question

Question:

hi, I have a Tokonsha brake controller that was working and displaying the digital voltage readout while connected to electric drum brakes. I have now removed the drums and replace with electric hydraulic disk brakes. Although the display is showing NC, the controller is working and regulating the voltage to the hydraulic actuator as per normal but the controller no longer displays the digital voltage readout. Can you help.

I do have an option for you but the Pro Series (Tekonsha) Pilot Trailer Brake Controller 80550 that you have now is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes, only electric. Therefore, you will need a new controller for which I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885. This is a proportional brake controller so it will brake much smoother than the Pro Series Pilot Trailer Brake Controller which is timed delay and it offers a plug-in fit as they use the same harness.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
