Break Light Flashes - Event Date: 01 Sep 2014 - 10 Sep 2014

I have a 2014 RPOD 171 and on our recent trip my wife who was following me said that when I applied my breaks my left break light flashes as though I was making a turn. This only happen when the vehicle in running. In addition, the speed of the flashing is slower than a turn signal.

So my question is: Is the left one flashing when it shouldn't or is the right one not flashing when it should?

Thanks in advance.

If your running lights are on while you're breaking with the turnsignal, then yes, it might look like your description; but that'd be it.  Except, the flashing frequency shouldn't be noticeably slower - well, not on a truck built in this century (wow, it feels very strange saying that); a 90s truck's flasher might slow down a bit due to the voltage drop from powering all the lights.

Thanks. The unit is under warranty so I'm expecting my dealer to replace it when I take it back for other warranty work.

I've isolated the problem to the truck by using my sons truck as a test and the brake lights on the RPOD don't flash.

The only black box I can find is the electric brake controller. Where do you think the combiner would be installed?

How large of a unit am I looking for? There is a flat wire going into the trailer plug. I originally had a 4 hire connector and when I got the RPOD they converted it to a 7 pin.
