Very Cheap Item: Trailer Accessory

Dorman Brake Control Module is very cheap and will not work. I bought it for my 14 Ram 1500 and it always showed a red "Trailer Brake Off" light. I ended up going to Dodge and bought an OEM module and everything worked fine.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • So Far So Good

Impossible to assemble

The best you can get here is 2 out of 3 screws on the bracket without any manufacture. If you agree to this, the dealer must program it into your system. I have a price of $100. I'm trying to pay a deposit. Much luck.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Not working properly

Agree with all other reviews here. It always says the trailer is disabled. There was also a problem with the fact that all the lights on the dashboard came on intermittently. The check engine light will not illuminate, but codes will be scanned and the trailer brake controller communication loss code will be displayed. Return and Exchange of Chrysler OEM Modules.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Nothing here

The controller shorted out my dashboard lighting system

Installation was difficult but not impossible. The dealer programmed the unit and then as I was driving home all the lights on the dash came on and the cruise stopped. This happened several times. Eventually had it looked at at a Ram dealer and found that this controller is faulty and causing a short in the system. I missed a hike and had to pay almost $500 to have it fixed.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Weight

Doesn't work on a non-factory install

This module might be great, but it didn't work for me. I installed the module and switch as instructed. I then went to the dealership and flashed the truck to activate the trailer brake functions, then got a trailer disconnect light that came on when I didn't have a trailer connected. The light goes out when the trailer is connected and the brakes work, hence the 2 stars. I contacted Dorman about this because the vendor said it was usually a bad module in his experience. The Dorman tech said…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Worst product ever!

I recently purchased this brake controller for my 2014 Ram 1500 and have had nothing but problems since installing it. When I took it to the dealer they easily turned on the towing function but the no trailer light was still on. The technician told me that everything was working correctly, although the light on the box was still working. Even with this small issue I still had a feeling everything would be fine as I had read in reviews that this had happened to other people and they had no other

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubt
