I was hooking up my electric brake controller, no problems, until I touched the cable leads to the metal brake arm. Total accident because I was just setting the cable down.
Here is the sequence of events:
1. Hooked up the Av Trailer Wire Harness
2. Trimmed the ends to match it to the Prodigy
3. I followed the directions on the Prodigy to match up the wires
4. Before making the final connections I just twisted them together
5. Hooked up the controller, and it worked great
6. Unhooked the wires and measured to trim them
7. Trimmed the wires and mounted the brackets
8. I went to hook up the new wires trimmed that is when I touched the hot lead on the brake pedal. It sparked.
9. I went to check to make sure the fuses were ok and they are all fine
Went to hook up the controller and nothing, no power.
I thought the controller somehow got fried, but it was not hooked up so I went to exchange it, which they did, hooked up the new and nothing.
What do I do, I have tried everything, am I missing a fuse, I check inside the main fuse box, the one inside the driver door, had OnStar do a computer check, and nothing. Am I over looking something, could have the power block under the dash been damaged in any way?
Helppppppppppppp if you can.
Thanks
Dennis
