I purchased the Curt #51527, which is designed for the Gladiator. However, I'm actually measuring the voltage on the Gladiator Connector (without the Adapter connected), and all connections measure correctly EXCEPT the +12VDC, which does not appear to be available on the designated pin. Any thoughts?
Are you posting because you just tested and noticed this, or because you plugged in the controller and it's not working?
Mr._Bill, I installed the Curt Spectrum Controller, and noticed that I could not enter any of the 'set-up' modes. I removed the Controller, and it worked perfectly on my test bench. After digging in, I found that there is no +12VDC on the Black wire as expected. I traced it back and found that there is also no +12VDC on the Gladiator Connector. All other signals are there, and working fine.
It may just be a loose or blown fuse. I would check that, and then take it the dealer if you can't get it to work.
I bought a Black Series HQ15 trailer and the Curt Echo controller. The Gladiator put out some wild voltages which caused faults on the Echo. I am sitting in a Jeep dealership having the OEM controller installed. Hope it works!!
That's funny...my dealer said that the MOPAR controller was not available for two to three months, and also that it was 'under development'. In addition, they were quoting $350 for the unit and $100 to install. I got one at my trailer dealership for $138 (with proper adapter)plus about $40 to install. Kinda steep install price for plugging it in and a couple of screws to mount. But, works perfectly. I got the Tekonsha Primus IQ.
There is no red wire - unless your controller harness has a red wire.
Crazy how techy this stuff has gotten!
No, it's a silly tazer thing. If you had said you were messing around with a tazer and turning trailer lights on and off with a tazer, we'd have said - there's your problem - you.
