| Description of the problem | The ford electric brake controller in my 05 ford superduty f250 stops working when i encounter rough pavement. If i am coming to a stop, and the intersection is rough, the led indicator on the brake controller drops to only one light illuminated out of ten possible, and the trailer brakes stop working. I can gain trailer brakes back by either fully releasing the brake pedal and re-applying or by reaching down and grabbing the manual slide control on the brake controller. This has happened to me with all three trailers i tow. It is very disconcerting and bound to cause an accident at some point when i am trying to stop a 15,000lb load. The dealer replaced the controller once, and since has said there is no problem found. *nm |
