    Just installed a Jordan Ultima, with everything off, key out of the ignition, it reads 00.2 and I can't seem to get that readout display to turn off, any ideas? I messed with the adjustment but still the readout does not turn off. :confused:

    Mine always read .02 as well. I think it's supposed to be like that. I remember the intruction booklet saying something about it. You DID read the instructions right? :D

    Ok, I just re-read it, you said it does that with the key out? Hmm, Mine never did that.

    Did ya make sure that you hooked it to ignition hot and not constant hot? Mine always read .02 when the key was in, but not without the key. Sounds like you have it hooked to a constant hot. Find an ignition hot and I bet the problem goes away.

    I plugged into the factory trailer wire pig tail, looks like it is a constant hot and not ignition hot WTF?

    I'm not sure because I suck at wiring but I do think it's a constant hot on the pigtail. My only evidence is that even when the key is out if I have a trailer hooked up the little light on my Voyager stays on. Like I said, I suck at wiring so I'm probably wrong. :doah:

    When I am not using my Jordan I unhook the cable from the bracket. There is a little opeing that will let you remove it so when you press the brake your controller does not turn on. Jordan suggested this to prevent pre-mature wear due to the amount of driving I do without a trailer in tow. It is a super easy to slide the plastic doo-hicky back inplace and I am good to go waytogo

    Have you guys towed with the Jordan yet? Sounds like it should work well, does it?

    I towed with the Jordan quite a bit. It was awesome...if I stepped on the brakes lightly and slowly, the trailer brakes were applied just the same. If I stomped on them hard and fast, the trailer brakes did the same. The trailer brakes basically just become an extension of the trucks brakes. They do exactly what the trucks brakes do. Soon as I get another tow rig, the Jordan will go in that one too. waytogo

    So how did it work?

    I'm pretty much sold on it, that is unless you were unhappy with its performance. Where did you guys get em?
