2023 Jayco slx 195rb question

[viati374]

We just yesterday traded in our 2019 Jayco slx 195rb for a 2023 exact same make and model. Our brake controller is reading "n/c". We checked the 7-way and its tight. My husband has been unable to find the black box anywhere that was bolted to the camper frame On our previous 2019. Does anyone know where it's located and/or have any suggestions? Thanks!

The "black box" is just a convenient wire junction and not an active part of the circuits. It's quite possible the new rig doesn't use one. Just follow the wires from the trailer connector to the trailer brakes, lights, ground, etc until you find the one that is open.

I'd first check the trailer ground wire connection back to the tow vehicle. That's probably the most likely candidate for an "n/c" diagnostic.

Does the dealer know you "traded it"??
If the old one did not give the "n/c" and the new one does, why did you leave the lot without asking? Were you in a rush?

Thank you, Gary! This is very helpful.
