They exist wayyyyyy more complex than I imagined . 67 steps..... correction only 21 steps if you have the 7 pin in the back already and installed pic added. Install was a nightmare multiple issues ,ill explain soon
1. There is a control box that gets mounted under the dash, in the instructions its pictured with the wiring ports towards the mounting studs on the backing plate. Mine was mounted opposite out of the box . I flipped mine to match pics in instructions as it made it easier to plug in wires and I am concerned that it functions by momentum as you stop and increase based on that. I did test with a volt meter after install and on level 10 if I push trailer brake button I get 12v , if brakes are pushed sitting in garage I get about 5 , I assume that's because of no forward momentum. Hopefully flipping mine to match instructions was correct . If anyone could please unbox and take a picture to show how yours is I would appreciate it.
2. This was the worst and took hours to realize and overcome. Instructions have you install the number knob on face of dash first with number 1 facing up , then clip on the dial box to the back side, makes since. Mine would not clip together at all never felt completely correct. Finally after trying forever I took everything back out of the jeep and tried installing it to itself outside of the dash. I then realized the box had to be rotate all the way counter clock wise to be in position 1, which mine was. I then realized the knob had different sized groves and could only slip over the splined center shaft of the box only one way. When mine would slip on correctly number 4 was at the top and it would then only rotate a few clicks as it would hit a stop. After further inspection I realized the splined center shaft was clipped together and could be clocked. I had to take apart the center splined shaft and rotate it 90 degrees to have it in the proper position for number 1 to be at the top when the box was in position one. This was nerve racking as its small cheap plastic and very easily breakable. After doing this I went back to the jeep and everything went right together smoothly.
Hopefully this was a fluke and only mine was made wrong , but if this was made by a machine then its clocked wrong and there is about to be a lot of upset people.
