A brand new Teconsha Voyager. I don't know if it is faulty or it has a bad connection, but once disconnected, problem fixed. I connected the trailer on the weekend & when the trailer plug was connect, i couldn't even get out of the driveway. When disconnected, away we go. I went back to the schematic diagrams & the brake circuit is connected to the throttle circuit. I have been running the car now for a week & no issues. I am going to reconnect the controller with new wiring to see if it was a bad connection, apart from that, it's a new brake controller.
That is fantastic news. I also had a problem with my aftermarket Electronic Brake Controller. The issue was simple, the rear brake lights decided to stay on but the car still drove. I just unplugged it and I haven't had a need for it for over 18 month.
I'm glad it wasn't the Commanders fault. Well done and we'll keep this problem in our data base.

You need to let off one of those Cockroach bombs in your car to kill off the bugs.
We wish it was that simple. Bad luck!

Hows this for luck. I booked the Commander in to get new tyres & the guy changing them used to work at jeep. I told him the prolonged story & he is convinced it is a swirl motor problem. He replaced 4 of them when he worked for jeep & all had the same problems as mine. I rang the branch that he used to work at told them the story & he told me to bring it in they will check the swirl motor (the only thing i haven't checked).
Jeep engines in QLD have a swirl motor replacement kit for around $500. Hopfully , this will be the fix. Cross your fingers for me.

I'm having trouble typing this with crossed fingers on both hands for you mate. Your current lead sounds promising - let's hope it turns out to be "the" fix.
