REPLACING BRAKE CONTROLLER - Diesel Forum

67DARTGTCONV · 01-02-2006, 02:46 PM

I have given up on getting my 2005 factory brake controller to work on my enclosed car trailer. Can I unplug the brake controller and plug in my own brake contoller that worked great on my 2003 truck?
I thought I read a bulletin that you have to keep the factory brake controller plugged in which does not make sense.

Thanks any input!!
