Consumer Description

I STOPPED WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, FUELED MY VEHICLE, HOPPED BACK IN AND THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE ON CONSTANTLY. I DISCONNECTED 7 WAY PLUG AND TRAILER BRAKES RELEASED. I TESTED TRAILER BRAKING OUTPUT AT THE 7 PIN PLUG AND THE BRAKE OUTPUT WAS STUCK ON. I TURNED THE GAIN DOWN TO ZERO AND IT WAS STILL STAYING ON. I CHECKED THE TRAILER FOR A SHORT AND ALL CHECK SHOWED TRAILER WIRING AS OK. I FOUND ON AN F150 FORUM MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO 2015 AND 2016 F150'S AND DEALERS REPLACING THE TRAILER BRAKES MODULE AND THE TOW MODULE.
