Q.) There is no light on after installation.
A.) You need to have a trailer connected before the LED will come on. The Envoy® needs to have a complete circuit to ground on the Blue wire through the brake magnets for the Green LED to come on. Possible Causes:
  · No trailer connected.
· No power on Black wire.
· Bad ground on White wire.
· Open in brake circuit wire.
· Truck and Trailer miswired.
· Faulty control.

Q.) 2-volts are showing on the Blue wire all the time.
A.) This is normal operation. The Envoy® sends a low current voltage, checking for the trailer. Once the Envoy® has a complete circuit to ground on the Blue wire, then the Green light will come on and the voltage will disappear.

Q.) Will the Envoy® work with Electric-Hydraulic Brakes?
A.) Tekonsha® brake controls are designed to operate electric brakes that are activated by magnets. They have not been tested for the use on electric/hydraulic brake systems. Please contact the manufacturer of the hydraulic control unit for their recommendations.
