Question:

The connector will not connect tightly to the tow vehicle. Connection becomes loose while driving. Any couplers or anything I could add to try to correct the connection

Hey Justin, thanks for reaching out!

It sounds like you're talking about the plug on the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller # TK94FR staying connected to your tow vehicle 7-Way. Is this an issue with your trailer 7-Way if you bypass the Prodigy RF and plug the trailer straight into your tow vehicle 7-Way socket?

Hey John- No issue if I take the plug from the trailer (big Tex 7k) to the Wagoneer. It seats perfectly and “locks” itself into the receiver. The only issue is with the plug from the prodigy to the vehicle- it feels like it presses up against the blades inside, but won’t actually slide over them (for lack of a better adjective)

@Justin The Prodigy RF uses a double-pin style that makes it a bit more snug of a fit. Are you able to press it into the socket any more than what would feel normal? I know that's pretty simple as far as advice goes, but if that doesn't allow it to fit then I'm kind of at a loss to be honest.
