is there allways a red light on the prodigy even with the truck off?
just hooked it up and thought that it was odd but I thought I would ask here first before calling them.

Mine does the same thing. I don't worry about it too much, with 2 batteries. Towed the Bobcat the other day & the Prodigy worked great!

The light goes off after 15 minutes or so.

The led's just let you know that there is power available to the controller but there is nothing to control. As jeephauler said, they go off after 15 minutes of non brake activity.

Read the directions, I had the same problem and was wondering about battery wear. It does state that it will shut off after 15 min.

Mine did the same. I called Prodigy and they said to unhook it for 5 min. and it will reset itself. Worked for me

thanks for all the replies. did not get a book with it (used), so I found their web site and down loaded a book and that is what it said -off in 15 min.

Mine does the same; as long as you don't put your foot back on the brake within the 15 minute frame it will go off automatically.
