Door jamb sticker, MDH will tell Month, Day, Hour...........Shadowspapa, I have to locate my build date and then I can give you all my info for your chart. Mine has worked successfully so far. Pulled my trailer today. Everything functions as it should including the manual brake button.
One detail I've been wondering about... When you hit manual brake, does it just go to whatever maximum level you have set? Or is there a way to ease in and control it? On regular box-style controllers there's a lever that will manually apply it proportionally to the lever throw. I can't see a way to do that on the Mopar version, but am I missing something?including the manual brake button.

I'll have to try it with this controller, but my 1500 pound Aluma tilt bed car hauler (1600 with spare, tool box and tools) needed 4 to stop smoothly with the Redarc. So maybe this one is close in the numbers. Won't matter, I'll have to test once the weather settles and I hook up again.The dial is number 1-10. You rotate it clockwise with the manual button in the middle. The braking gain is higher with each number. You can also go between the numbers so you have 20 gain settings to choose from. You turn it to the number, press the manual button and see if the drag/gain is where you want it. My 1800lb aluminum car hauler empty drove nice at about 3. Truck stopped like it wasn't there, no locking up. If I went up to 4, I woul dsee tires start to lock up on trailer when braking.
I checked my Mopar harness and it did not have a diode. All 4 wires ring out full continuity from both directions. The Tekonsha 3073-P with diode rings out like you described the Redarc harness, they one slight beep, then no sound and a reading on the red wire, other 3 ring out full continuity as expected.Door jamb sticker, MDH will tell Month, Day, Hour...........
Thanks for info so far. I'm glad it works - maybe a date will give more info - or not, either way, thanks.
Would anyone who has NOT installed their Mopar controller be willing to check the 4 wire harness (that connects the controller box to the Jeep's wiring) for a diode?
It should be the white wire if I recall correctly (on Redarc it's red)
I'm hoping someone with a working unit checks theirs to see if what you and I got were different in some way, such as that wiring harness thing.I checked my Mopar harness and it did not have a diode.

Can't rule out anything at this point.Perhaps the mopar controller has the diode built into the controller... and those with the issue have a bad controller right out of the box. You’ going to have to swap out that controller for a new one just to rule that out.
