I don't want to create and endless thread but for those with Active Tech (instead of Carlisle) in their trailer, I finally got through to a fellow at Active Technologies. They are aware of the problem with Ford Controllers. He explained (too Technical for me) why there is a problem...Not sure I understand but the voltage required by the brakes needs to be 13 VDC or higher and constant. The Ford controller voltage output varies and is not always 13 volts.
Anyway if you have Carlisle the add on shown on the first part of this thread is what you need. If you have an Active Brake they currently have no fix for this problem and suggest you contact Ford. I did..Ford suggests not using their controller with electric/hydraulic brakes.
