Do u happen to know approx build date of your truck?I took my trailer on a 500 mile trip through the mountains of western VA with this controller and it did work flawlessly. The detent of the settings keeps the setting in place and yes the lighting only really works when the trailer is hooked up (yet seems to come on initially at startup when you are unhooked but then turns off). My initial review? It's a brake controller. Nothing special. If it works on your truck it will work (I even had to test locking up the trailer tires on the Capital beltway due to DC idiocy). Sorry I forgot to ask the wife to check the 'California compliance'. I will see if I can get that checked tonight.
Good review, too bad u had to test the trailer brakes that way....but glad it worked and perhaps saved your truck from a big owie.
