Trailer Trip Meter

Has anyone used the trailer trip when towing? I hooked up my boat (plugged in the wiring harness) and turned on the tow/haul but the trailer trip info stays stuck on zero. Does anyone know how to get it to start counting?

I believe that you need to get into your uConnect and save some trailer settings. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I did go to the trailer settings and see that it was defaulted to trailer 1 and turned on. I even selected boat but still not counting miles on the trailer trip.

I believe it uses the TB controller to trigger trailer trips at least that's how it works on my 16. Most fishing boats use surge brakes so the TB controller isn't connected.

Interesting, I didn't think about that. Thanks for your reply.

I have your same issue when i use my sled trailer, small 2 place so no TB's. The Trailer for my RZR on the other hand has TB's so i can keep track of the mileage.

I tow a 5000 lb boat with surge brakes...is there a way to trick the system into using the trailer odometer...

don't think there is a way to "trick" it .... the trailer odometer looks for trailer brake load connection .. another tread discussed this and i hooked up my 1,000 # single axle no brakes = no odometer ... then i hooked up my 7,000 # tandem axle with brakes = trailer odometer ... so i am sure that electric brake load is the key
