Q.) No "C" on the display with the trailer connected.
A.) The Pilot® has to have a complete circuit to ground through the brake magnets on the Blue wire to turn the "C" on the display. Possible Causes:
· No trailer connected.
· No power on Black wire.
· Bad ground on White wire.
· Open in brake circuit wire.
· Truck and Trailer miswired.
· Power back feed on brake circuit (Blue wire).
· Faulty control.
Q.) Will the Pilot® 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.
Q.) "C" is on all the time, even without the trailer connected.

A.) Normal wih no trailer connected or no electrical load.
Q.) The display shows "0" with the pedal depressed or the manual activated with the trailer connected.
