Yes mine times out as well, and turns back on when I hit the brakes.

I edited this thread to split the off topic comments to their own thread.
Look for that thread in "General Chat" under "Memories".

We now return to the topic about Brake Controllers.

Thanks for the chuckle Mike!

For me, if I know I'm towing soon, I'll leave it connected. I definately unplug it for the winter and stow it in the truck. You never know if you might need it.

EGG-zactly right!
You never know when or where you might come across your Next New Project!
For the same reason, I also keep my ball mount, towing mirrors, and hitch locks in my TV all the time.
