My parents are somewhere in Virginia (near Fredericksbrug, I think) and
discovered while pulling their '04 2500 (with tow package, etc.) into
their campsite that both the truck brake lights and trailer brake lights
were non-functional. Which translates to - no trailer brakes!
After unhitching, the truck brake lights still didn't work. Fuses all
seem OK. He went to one dealer that wouldn't look at the truck without
a $80 diagnostic fee because "you got that aftermarket brake controller
in there" - plugged into the factory harness, mind you.
Took it over to Camping World, they tossed the brake controller
(Tekonsha Prodigy) on a tester and said something looked iffy, and
replaced his 3 year old unit w/ a new one, sans receipt. But the
problem persists.
Current thinking is that the brake switch attached to the pedal burned
out somehow. Dealer #2 said "bring the truck AND trailer in first thing
tomorrow and we'll check it all out." Any ideas on what else he could
look at tonight? He definitely will not be attempting to bring it home
until this is fixed, as he's done the "tow with a bad brake controller"
deal before w/ the Durango and it fried his front brakes.
