Question:

How can I tell if my controler is applying my brakes correctly it always shows the .c and if you press the manual button it works but I dont fill when applying brake.

It sounds like maybe your controller isn't applying the brakes if the .c is showing when pressing the brake pedal. You will want to check to be sure you are tapped into the correct brake light wire. This is the wire that is only hot when the brake pedal is pressed.

You will also want to make sure you installed the correct circuit breaker per the number of brake applications on your trailer. 20-Amp circuit breaker # 9506P for 2- to 4-brake applications and 30-Amp circuit breaker # 38630 for 6- to 8-brake applications.

I have linked the instructions for the Pro-Series Time Delayed Brake Controller for you to reference, in this it mentions how it is important to warm the brakes before setting the power to your specific needs. It has a step by step guide on how to adjust the power of the brakes. It also does mention that you should be able to feel unified braking between the trailer and tow vehicle.

If you have continued issues, just let me know, I'd be happy to further troubleshoot this issue with you.
