Weird Invisibrake Problem

My Invisibrake system, after working normally for a 6 months or so, started having the following problem. When I connect my toad (2013 Lincoln MKX), it only works if my toad engine is running. Of course, I'm not going to keep the toad engine running while towing it!!! It's supposed to work with the toad in "Accessory Mode"; however, it's not working at all while in "Accessory Mod".

Does anyone have a clue as to what might be going on?

Appreciate all thoughts!

Eric

If the system worked when installed in "ACC " mode and doesn't work now, you have to check the power to the unit when the key is in acc. position .
Possible blown fuse.

Thanks for the reply!


I'm not at all an electronics guru, but if it were a blown fuse, I would think the Invisibrake system wouldn't be functioning while the toad engine is running. In my case, it works while the toad engine is running, but doesn't when I shut the engine off and put it into Accessory.

I didn't mean a fuse in the brake unit , you have to check all the fuses in the Lincoln fuse panel.
Dig out your owners manual and look for any fuses marked ' ACC ' if you don't have a test light or a multi meter to test the fuse , put a new fuse in.
