Hi all,
Question for those who have a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller.
I have one installed in my Prado & I have done a couple of trips.
When setting up it is suggested that you set the power outlet level to 6 volts & then move up from there until the manual lever will operate the brakes without locking up. When I did mine I had to go to at least 10/11volts - on my trips the brakes seem to work fine but on that level if I operate the manual lever it certainly operates the caravan brakes but would not pull up the van to a stop very quickly. I am towing a single axle van - weight all up around 1700kg.
Is that setting normal? It has been suggested to me that the volts setting is very high. What have others experienced?
Regards, Willy
