A weird integrated brake controller issue yesterday after towing over 800 miles across two days, several stops, including a campground where I completely disconnected. We made a fuel/bathroom stop, engine off, gassed up, started up and pulled around the side to free up the pump. Shut off and did our business. Started back up, got trailer wiring fault and trailer disconnected messages. Plugged and unplugged the trailer, still getting messages. Tried to drive forward, trailer brakes are full on, but should not be, can't move the rig. Checked lots of wiring, metered the truck plug and electric brakes are full power, when they should not be. This tells me it's a truck problem and not a trailer problem. I ended up pulling the tow controller fuses in the engine box and put them back in. Voila, everything is fine. Next two drives without a trailer, both times it complains about trailer wiring fault, even though nothing is in the plug.
What gives? Do I need to replace the controller? I'm not trusting it at this point.
