I wish I had better news, but the ER code means that there is an internal problem on the Draw Tite Activator part # 5504 and that it needs to be replaced.

For a new brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

So my draw tite controller is approximately 18 months old and I have to replace it? Can't be repaired? Talk about a great product!!! What a sorry company to make trash and sell it with a clear Conscience.
