I have a brake buddy vantage system and several times the remote will not communicate with the brake buddy in the tow vehicle. It works okay for a while after turning it on and then seems to quit working. I have the remote placed on the dash, near the steering wheel. When you press the button to change the braking, it acts like the remote is not powering up. I have moved the remote to a different location, but still no luck. I have tried it with new batteries, and with the electrical connector. If I take the remote back to the tow vehicle, it seems to work okay then. Has anyone else had problem with this?
I haven't had that problem but have read where others have. I think Brake Buddy will suggest that you have a direct connection from your battery to your unit rather than going thru the lighter/acc. socket for power. They seem to suggest that fix for many maladys of their product. Do a few searches here for more info.
BTW, Brake Buddy, in the past, has sent out at no charge a wire kit to make that direct connection. Just call and ask if you need to try that.
You need to read this thread about Brake Buddy.
