I have a curt brand with plug. I used it once and my abs light comes on and my brakes feel spongy will yours do the same ? I have a 2500hd chevy 4wd.

No it doesn't do that. The one you have is defective and you should stop using it. With the unit I have I just dial in the stopping power that holds my trailer when I apply the brakes at a medium pressure.

As long as you wire it up to the brake feed properly you should not experience any issues. The brake controller is intended to work as an add on device. I am not sure how a brake controller would cause spongy brkaes.

Sounds like you haven't connected the braking wire. I suggest grounding it instead of connecting it properly so you can watch videos while in drive.

yes and no, I had one of these and the out put was so touchy that it would either lock up the brakes on my light trailer or no braking feel at all. I traded up for the $99 #51130 unit that takes the same wiring harness. Either way you have to wire it in.

Yes. I had the same problem. I worked on the front brake for about 2 hours. Until I got it to work right.

if you have a round 7 plug in your truck has brake control. If your truck has only the flat 4 plug your truck is not equipped with brake control

All it is doing is measuring water in the brake fluid. I stuck mine in the faucet, and all lights go in indicating that it is contaminated. In a fresh bottle of dot 3 fluid, no lights come on. I tried it on a newer vehicle, no light. Tried it on a 02 Dodge which has never had the fluid changed, all lights on indicating the fluid needs to be flushed. So my best guess is no.

i tried the milege mode on my 06 gmc 2500hd with 6.0L and 4l80e trans, it made the truck feel really sluggish and didnt seem to help the mileage any so i switched it to the performance mode. now it didnt make the truck super powered but it does seem peppier over stock and the trans doesnt gear hunt unloaded and less gear hunting when loaded, nice firm shifts but not neck snapping. down side is i have to use 90+ octane but truck seems to get a little better fuel mileage on the highway, city driving well its a heavy truck so i dont expect much from it lol

On my 06 it made them blink fast like there was a blown bulb. I had to get and load equalizer from autozone to solve the issue.

I have not had this problem. It is firm, but when you squeeze the side "clips" tightly, it comes out fine on mine. I would make sure that both the plug & socket are clean, and then perhaps try a very light coat of lubricant that is safe for plastics (silicone or similar) on the exterior of the plug only, on the sides where it contacts the socket. That should help. You could try to contact WORX and see what they recommend. And if little adjustments that you try don't work, then it is obviously defective and should be replaced- it was meant to come in and out without major effort.

It didn't work for me with normal bulbs! I had to send it back. They responded quick and returned my money. I just used diodes on on the brake lights only on the towed vehicle. That worked good for me.

I took my car to O'Reillys auto parts and they put there tester on. It showed the left front abs sensor was at fault. They do it for free.

I installed one (06 f250) but it did not seem to slow the opening of the tailgate much. The tailgate on a 06 F250 is very heavy and i was hoping this shock would help with an ease of opening. Now it does engage and work but it doesn't handle the weight of the gate well and still opens too rapidly. I'm debating on installing a 2nd to see if there is any improvement

Honestly i really dont know. i have a 7th gen civic that has abs so i wouldnt know but from what i think it dont matter abs or not cuz its made for superior stopping and cool down. i dont see how abs or not can affect these.

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee

This scan tool does not respond to the current abs warning light to my car which is Chevy. Tahoe 2007. All it shows to the screen is error. Tried it again several times and it shows the same result. I tried it to my other car and it shows the same thing "error".

The ABS light should always come on when first starting the car as it goes through its system check, then go out. My ABS would activate when coming to a stop, but my light never came on. After much trial and error and expense, I finally took it to the dealer. The sensor would not send the correct signal at slow speeds so the ABS thought that wheel was locking and activated. Save yourself some time and money and have someone with a scan tool check the sensors while driving. It will show the outputs of each sensor at different speeds and indicate a faulty one. If you need one, Amazon has the best price.
