Trailer brake controller only allows minimal electric current to trailer under 15 MPH. I am told, DOT knows of this problem in ford f 350 trucks mfrd. Prior to 03/05. Covered by ford bulletin. Ford refuses to update or repair. Not enough brakes under 15 MPH to stop trailer or to test for trailer brakes.
