NEI!, (Not Enough Information) What do you have the Prodigy set at?

When my 5er brakes were new I set it at around 6.5, Now it needs to be set in the 7.5-7.8 range because I think I need a brake adjustment on the 5er.

Also, what boost setting do you have it set for, .c, .1, .2, .3 ??? I usually set mine at .1 boost (sometimes .2) on the highway, and 6.2 for in town. If you have yours at .3, that could be the problem.

Is the controller mounted at near level, or angled with the display high? It does have limitations to its self leveling ability. If it is angled too much, and you are going down a steep grade(making the angle of the controller even more) that can cause problems.


As per the Tekonsha web site:

WARNING The Prodigy must be mounted from 0
degrees to 70 degrees nose up. (See Below).
In hilly terrain it is advisable to leave a margin at
either extent to keep bars from coming on when going
up and down hills. When mounted near level the
lower bars may come on during heavy acceleration
(see Trouble-shooting Chart). This will not affect the
performance during braking.
Failure to install the Prodigy within these constraints
may cause impaired performance.
