Thanks all for the response. I was just reading the info that came with the controller. It is a Tekonsha Sentinel. It is fully electric. The newest instructions for GM are for 1999 models. I have it in a 2002. It has two adjustments. One is an inertia sensor to set the level. The other is rate of gain to set braking power. It has about a 70' range it has to be mounted to work properly. I have that o.k. It has a green light that comes on when trailer is plugged in that shows everything is juiced up properly. That works. I have juice through the plug to the trailer. It has a green light then 3 red lights that light up in sequence as you apply more brake. All I get is the green one. Never makes it into the red unless I work it by hand. I have the rate of gain cranked all the way up. Two of the trailers I pulled with a 1986 Chevy with same controller and everything worked fine. Other one I didn't have then. I was reading the instructions and may have stumbled over something. When it warms up a little I am going to reset the level inertia doodad and see if that helps. I though it was right but maybe not. If that doesn't help I guess I will start checking wiring and voltage to everything. If that is all good I guess I will replace the controller with a newer model. Don't know what else to do. Hate to spend money if I don't have to.

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's).
