Expert Reply:
No reset needed, Dustin. The Dexter 3.5K ABS brakes # DX73WR plug in and are automatically recognized by the Tow Assist module. Just torque to spec, reattach both brake and sensor plugs, and when you power up, the indicator should show solid green.
Are you doing the install yourself or through a shop?
