No issues with controller. I put a lot of faith in the statement "I would buy it again". in this case, I would buy it again. adjustment is easy. here is instructions in case you haven't seen them. fyi, you must already be wired for trailer lights.
# 1. Plug trailer into EZ Brakes box then plug harness from EZ brakes into tow vehicle.
Start tow vehicle because voltage changes when vehicle is running and depress brakes. Brake lights MUST be on to set brake adjustment. This may be achieved by an assistant or a device such as a windshield scraper from the brake pedal to the seat. Please be careful not to puncture seat.
Go to back of tow vehicle and make sure brake lights are functioning properly. If not, test plug to see if all terminals are working. IF power is working properly through plug (you can see if trailer lights are all functioning properly) then turn ON / OFF switch on side of EZ Brakes box ON. Button should be pushed in at top. Down position is OFF .
Open lid on top of EZ Brakes box and place finger on gain wheel and turn back lightly until wheel stops. Light is usually green at this point. (remember, brake lights must be on and vehicle running). Turn wheel toward bottom of box until LED light turns red. At this point brakes are being activated and usually about another ¼ turn (¼”) is sufficient but may vary depending on weight of trailer and load being towed. Adjustment can be made accordingly so trailer brakes do not lock up when towing. Close lid on box and test brakes by moving vehicle on non slick surface (usually pavement) and applying brakes. If brakes lock up or skid, then adjustment needs to be made by turning gain wheel away from bottom of box until this does not occur.
WARNINGS / Tips and Proper use of EZ Brakes :
Trailer brakes are designed to ASSIST the tow vehicle towing a trailer, NOT to stop the tow vehicle. Improper use will result in excessive abnormal wear and tear on trailer brakes and possibly heating drums, brakes and bearings to a dangerous temperature causing unnecessary damage to trailer or cargo being hauled. Over adjustment can generate heat causing melting of bearing grease resulting in damage to bearings and spindles.
