Question:
Hi I have a 2022 ram 3500 with oem brake controller. I recently bought a new trailer and noticed the brakes weren’t working as much and the emergency brake wouldn’t work at all. One I got home noticed a leak on one side of the trailer tires and removed the hub and saw oil all over the brake pad and inside the drum. So I replaced the wheel seal. I started driving and noticed my brakes were working better. Once I stopped I tried checking my emergency brakes with my oem controller and they don’t work. When I pull the pin they lock up fine. My friend connected his truck to my trailer and it did the same it didn’t work. So I connect my truck to his trailer and everything worked. Do you think it has something to do with the trailer wires?

It sounds like you need the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module # HBA-CAM for the OEM brake controller on your 2022 Ram 3500. This will ensure that your controller works properly with the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HBA16 as often times factory controllers do not work correctly with electric over hydraulic brakes.
