I haven't yet actually, and probably should. I'll post the results if I get a chance to take the trailer back out.

Knock on wood, I haven't had this problem towing, but I carry a Curt Echo as a peace of mind emergency back up. The info from Curt says it works fine with installed OEM controllers, giving priority to the Curt when it is installed. As I understand it, the plug just dead heads the input from the...
