Use bracket as template to mark hole locations.

Drill two 1/8" diameter holes and mount bracket

with screws provided.

Mount brake control to bracket using the remaining

two screws.

wire and crimp type ring terminals connect the

“BATT” side of the circuit breaker to the positive

battery terminal.

3. Feed two, different colored, 12 GA or larger

stranded wires from the brake control location to

the tow vehicle battery area.

4. Connect one of the wires (noting the color) to the

“AUX” side of the circuit breaker with a ring terminal.

5. Connect the other wire to the negative battery

cable with a ring terminal.

6. Attach the control’s black “BATTERY +” wire to the

wire connected to the “AUX” terminal of the circuit

breaker using a butt connector. Make sure that the

connection is made to the correct wire (color).

7. Connect the control’s white “GROUND -” wire to

the wire leading to the negative side of the battery

with another butt connector.

WARNING: A brake control that is not properly

grounded may operate intermittently or not at all.

Make sure all connections are solid.

8. For tow vehicles other than 1989-91 Ford E and F

series trucks and vans:

Determine which side of the stoplight switch is the

cold side. To determine the cold side probe the

terminals of the switch with a test light until one is

found that is only on when the brake pedal is

depressed.

Using the wire tap provided, splice the brake control’s

red “STOPLIGHT” wire to the wire attached to the cold

side of the stoplight switch as determined above.

For 1989-91 Ford E and F series trucks and vans

with anti-lock brakes:

Find the crescent shaped connector located on the

steering column (turn signal harness). The connector

has two rows of wires, one row has four wires (inside

row) the other has seven. The wire needed is the light

green wire, second from the left in the row of seven

(see wiring diagram).

Using the wire tap provided, splice the brake control’s

red “STOPLIGHT” wire to the light green wire.

10. Secure all loose wires with cable ties so that they will

not be damaged and reconnect battery. See vehicle’s

owners manual for special reconnection instructions.

BENCH TEST INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wire as shown at right. Set Output control to maxi-

mum and the Sync control to minimum.

2. Test brake pedal activation:

While watching the test bulb, hold the red wire on the

positive (+) battery terminal.

The bulb should start dim and slowly get brighter.

The red output indicator on the brake control should

glow brightly.

Disconnect the red wire.

Adjust the Sync control to maximum (+).

While watching the test bulb, hold the red wire on the

positive (+) battery terminal.

The bulb should light brightly with no delay.

With the red wire still on the battery terminal, slide the

output control back and forth. The test bulb should

change from bright to dim with the movement of the

output control. Disconnect the red wire.

3. Test manual activation:

Set the output control to maximum.

While watching the test bulb, slowly activate the

manual control.

The test bulb should start dim and get brighter as

the manual control is pushed.

While holding the manual control all the way on,

slide the output control back and forth.

The test bulb should change from bright to dim with

the movement of the output control.

4. If the brake control does not function as described

above, return it for service or replacement.

MOUNTING

1. Determine a suitable mounting location.

A) The unit must be mounted securely to a solid

surface.

B) The unit must be easily reached by the driver.

C) The area behind the mounting location must be

clear so nothing will be damaged when drilling.

2. Hold the mounting bracket in the position selected and

mark hole locations through the slots in the bracket.

3. Using a 1/8” dia. bit, drill holes in the marked locations.

4. With a screwdriver or a 1/4” nut driver, secure the

bracket in place using (2) self tapping screws (provid-

ed). Be careful not to strip the holes by over-tightening.

5. Mount the brake control unit in the bracket using the other

(2) self tapping screws as shown in the illustration.

WIRING

WARNING: Do not connect the black “BATTERY”

wire to the fuse panel or tie into accessory wiring.

Connecting to existing wiring may damage vehicle

wiring and cause trailer brake failure.

Do not reverse black “BATTERY” wire and white

“GROUND” wire connections. Even a momentary mis-

connection can damage the brake control unit.

FOR TOW VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH

FACTORY TRAILER TOWING PACKAGES:

Wire per tow vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

FOR TOW VEHICLES WITHOUT FACTORY

TRAILER TOWING PACKAGES:

1. Disconnect the tow vehicle’s negative (-) battery cable.

2. Mount a 20 Amp auto-reset circuit breaker (such as

Draw-Tite 18051) as close to the positive (+) battery

terminal as possible. Using 12 GA or larger stranded
