How to test electric trailer brakes when vehicle is stationary
If you have a proportional mode electric brake controller, you may have difficulty proving the trailer brakes work from the foot brake during a stationary vehicle inspection. This is because a stationary vehicle is not decelerating and most proportional brake controllers will not be applying any power to the trailer brakes.
If you have a REDARC Tow-Pro Elite, you can simply change it to “User Controlled” mode for the test then switch it back to “Proportional Mode” when the test is completed.
