The brake controller mounted in my truck has been "clicking" for some time now. Lately, it's gotten even worse and is starting to get on my (&DW's) nerves. Any ideas what's going on with it?

Thanks!

What kind of brake controller is it?

I am going to guess that there is a short somewhere in the system. The clicking you hear is a auto resetting circuit breaker.

It's a Redline.

I'm not sure about it being a short and it resetting because it does it too fast for that. There's times it can click 10-20 times at once.

It's morse code for "Buy a Tekonsha". Seriously though, they do a frequent check of the brake connection as part of the monitoring. Do any of the lights or indicators flash when the clicking is happening. I am tending to lead to the short and resetting issue as well. Clean the connector on the trailer and truck and put a little dilectric grease on the connections and see if it clears up.
