Hey, Darryl.

That definitely sounds like a conundrum and I'm sorry to hear that's what's going on. Since you have a factory controller you should be able to switch it to EOH, electric over hydraulic, mode. Is your factory controller switched over to the EOH mode or is this something that just started to happen even with being in EOH mode?

Hey Darryl, did switching your Ford’s factory controller to EOH mode make any difference with the trailer brakes staying engaged? Your update could make it easier for others troubleshooting similar brake issues.

@DarrylL If your factory controller is in EOH mode and causing this issue I'd recommend checking the wiring. If any of the wires are bad, damaged, or if the pins on the plug got damaged somehow, it could cause a bad connection.
