    Hey guys, my Reese trailer brake plugs right into the factory wiring harness. I didn't have to wire a ground or anything when I installed it. Here the other day I found my battery dead and then noticed that the brake controller was stuck in error and had obviously drained the battery. I disconnected it and reconnected with no effect. What's more likely, that the truck itself has a bad ground, a blown fuse, or that the unit is bad. My money is on the unit. I've never had an issue until now.

    2008 Tundra

    Thanks

    FYI the trailer brake fuse is good
