Good morning. I set up my Prodigy brake controller a few weeks ago, programmed using AlphaOBD. Noticed today that the light bar I installed under the tailgate is on with the headlights only, no brake light or turn signals. Anybody else have this happen after installing a trailer brake? The light bar is plugged in to the wiring harness. Thanks.

What did you enable with Alfa? This is a aftermarket trailer brake so curious why you had to do anything to enable it? I could see if you were installing the factory controller.

Maybe that controller needs to have a trailer connected before it enables the outputs?

So I didn’t need to change the Trailer Selected CSM, Trailer Name CSM, Trailer Type CSM from NO to YES and Enable the ITBM/HWM Integrated Trailer Brake Controller?

I wouldn't think so, Not unless you were installing the factory trailer brake. I would try and set those back and see what happens? It's easy enough to try just to see.

If your light bar is plugged/wired into the trailer plug wiring, use a meter to check these fuses:
F53 - ATR 20 amp Left Trailer lights
F81 - ATR 20 amp Right Trailer lights
F29 - FMM 20 amp Trailer Park lights
F28 - FMM 20 amp Trailer Back up lights
