Reduce the setting of the gain wheel.
Yes, every time the unit attempts to apply brakes, the Red LED will come on. However, with no trailer attached no current or power is used.
All Hayes brake controllers output up to 100% or the battery positive 12 volts DC. This is regardless of the gain wheel setting.
This is normal and indicates the unit is functioning correctly.
Yes, the red LED indicates how much voltage is being outputted to the trailer brakes.
No, the wires are fused by the factory tow package in the vehicle.
The red wire is both an input (in automatic mode) and an output (in manual mode). In manual mode +12v is put on the wire to turn on all the brake lights.
If the vehicle has a factory installed 6 or 7 way plug at the rear of the vehicle.
The 6 or 7 way plug for the trailer at the rear of the vehicle and a place to plug in a “quick connect” harness under the dash.
Yes.
These settings mainly depend on the type and condition of brakes on the trailer. The only way to dial in these settings is with test driving.
All Hayes brake controllers output up to 100% or the battery positive 12 volts DC. This is regardless of the maximum option setting.
Following the instructions change the mode to PH, and you can test out the manual and automatic outputs by reading the percentage output on the front of the controller. The only difference between the PH mode and the P mode is that the P mode assumes a trailer is attached and doesn’t check for its presence. Remember to set it back to the P mode if you want this feature with a trailer.

Yes.
The accelerometer in the brake controller is not sensing any deceleration sitting still, and is only outputting the minimum voltage. Use the manual slide switch to check the maximum output.
Yes, every time the unit attempts to apply brakes, the Red LED will come on. However, with no trailer attached no current or power is used.
The red LED indicates how much voltage is being output to the trailer brakes. You can put your foot on the brakes, and move the pendulum slowly back toward the driver. This should brighten up the LED to the maximum. Be sure to set this back pointing to the floorboard before use.

These settings mainly depend on the type and condition of brakes on the trailer. The only way to properly dial in these settings is with test driving.
Yes, the controller has an accelerometer that knows there is no deceleration. The minimum setting is all that will be output. You can test the output by putting your foot on the brake petal and slowly moving the pendulum back toward the driver. This should increase the output to the maximum. Be sure to reset the pendulum before actual use.
