Blue wire for electric brakes

[Treads]

I've just changed my trailer plug to a 7-pin flat and noticed that there is already a blue wire in the loom at the plug. Can anyone please explain where I can find the other end of this under the dash to save running an extra wire to the rear of the vehicle? I want to install my prodigy this weekend if possible. A photo would be awesome :angel:

Treads,

You may have to follow the wiring loom and see where it ends. As most looms come with all seven wires, that does not mean they are all connected. When I changed mine over, the loom ended at the rear drivers side tail light.

I then had to run a blue and red wire along the floor channel to the dash for the blue and onto the engine bay for the red (Caravan power). I fitted the prodigy on the fuse door of our Disco, near the centre of the vehicle :D

As Ron says I reckon it would end in the driver's side tail light. The Disco1 has a trailer loom plug there.

When I installed my Prodigy in the Disco I ran two wires (together for higher power rating) from the unit to the tail light and connected it there.

Justin,

It looks like you and I did the same thing :D

Thanks guys

Prodigy now installed and ready to tow SWMBO's float. Might take it for a spin tomorrow and set up the tolerances on it. Have only used a POS Hayman Reece controller before, will be interesting to see the difference in operation.

Mate once you set it, that is it :)
It stays like that.
The only thing you need to be careful of, is where you got the power from.
The fuse needs to be 20 25 amp, or it will blow, the moment you apply the "Hand Brake" device.
Been ther done that :(

I ran good thick cable from the battery, through a 20A circuit breaker, straight through a vacant plug in the firewall and into the prodigy loom. I didn't get a chance to test it yesterday as it would have cut into my drinking time at the races :angel: Maybe get there this evening after work

Gave the prodigy a go this afternoon, WOW!! Kinda leaves the Hayman Reece units for dead! :eek:

I love the fine adjustment on the brake force. With the float empty (800kg) it wants to lock a wheel at 3.9, will be interesting to see how it goes with our horses in it (1x big cleveland bay & 1x decent size arabianxwarmblood). I reckon we must push the 2t GVM with a few saddles etc aboard. Testing it loaded will be a job for after easter methinks ;)
