Hi there. I have what I hope is a simple ploblem with a simple answer. I have a Prodigy brake controller semi-permanently wired into my truck (07 classic duramax crew cab). Just noticed the light that is usually on on the controller is off. Is there a fuse somewhere that is dedicated to the brake controller circuit?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Not sure if yours is the same as mine, I have an 03, There are fuses in the left dash that control all of your trailer functions, including the power for your controller.

On the Prodigy only the little red lights will be on unless a trailer with brakes is connected...

Some trailer related fuses are underhood and some in left BEC (fuse panel) in interior

And if the truck has been sitting for a while the little red light goes out, turns on again when you touch the brake pedal.

X2, shows 2 small led's with no trailer, shows NC when manually applied and C when trailer is connected. If you have nothing at all check your fuses, i would also recommend checking them with a test light too.
