the syncronizing step is only used/necessart after the loss of power IN the trailer....
dead coach batteries or disconnected coach batteries.
it is not affected by the brakeaway switch or the 7 pin connection...
i suppose if one pulled the brakeaway pin and left it out, that could drain the coach batteries...
on the FORD controller in this thread, gain is set to '10'
and then the manual lever is held 'full on' for 10 seconds...
that's it.
cycling the manual lever (sliding it on/off) has nothing to do with the sync process.
it IS a way to tell if the actibrake is activating, that's all, using the brake pedal does this also
next the boost/gain is set to the 'best level' (5.5-7.5 for most) to acheive trail/truck braking as a unit.
my understanding sq'coast is that you don't have the ford controller, but a prodigy?
please check with the brake controller manufacturer for their syn process...
i think leo posted the info in another thread for the prodigy...
regardless, an UN sync'd system usually results in TOO MUCH braking force from the trailer discs.
my understanding is you had little or NO brake force...
cheers
