Hi There
I have recently purchased a 2002 Prado TX auto. Im newb to this world so pls be gentle . and excuse my not so technical understanding.
I love the car and want to learn so I figure this is as good as place as any to start
First issue I have is the fuse for the brake controller (i think its this) seems to be well and truly cooked. It is a hayman reese controller - however when i put the apply the brake the red light comes on the brake controller - so i figure it must be getting power some how.
Not sure where to start - i think its called an inline fuse holder for a blade fuse, do i just cut the wires and get a replacement one and crimp it back together? I looked at the universal installation pdf for a hayman reese brake controller and on the diagram it talks about a resettable fuse? Is this what I should get? I thought the idea of a fuse was to draw my attention to some problem that is tripping the fuse or am I misunderstanding the purpose of a resettable fuse. Like I said I have much to learn.
I have yet to hook any thing up to the trailer plug - thinking now I guess i could get a multimeter and test to see if the brakes work? Is that how I can test without attaching a trailer?
I have been doing some reading and this is a culmination of trying to understand how these things work so if anyone could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
THanks
