1. Be sure to use proper wire gauge when installing your
control (12 gauge for electric brakes, power and ground / 14
gauge for the stoplight switch).
2. Connect white wire to negative post on the vehicle battery.
Grounding to any other location may cause intermittent
brake control operation or failure.

terminal on the vehicle's battery. Route black wire from the
brake control to the fuse or breaker.
4. Splice red wire into cold side of vehicle's stoplight switch
located by the brake pedal. Find the wire by using a circuit
tester and probing for the wire that powers the vehicle
stoplights when the brake pedal is pressed.
5. Route blue wire from brake control to vehicle side trailer
connector.
6. Plug harness into back of control.
IMPORTANT: Please see "vehicle specific
instructions" and "special notes" before every
