Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - RM-751439

  • Stop Light Switch
  • Roadmaster

Avoid damage to your vehicle by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. Kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.


Features:

  • Activates motorhome brake-monitoring system whenever brake pedal in towed car is applied
    • Ensures that the supplemental braking system is functioning properly
  • Works great for any application that does not have a tow position in the ignition
  • Wires directly into towed car's fuse box for constant current
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • 12 Volts
  • Application: custom fit for your vehicle


This kit allows your RV's monitoring system to alert you whenever the brake pedal of your towed car is being applied. Other systems operate according to whether the air cylinder is extended and provide no indication of what is happening with the pedal itself. If your supplemental braking system is improperly installed, it may be continuously pressing on the pedal, impeding it from fully retracting and possibly causing damage to your vehicle's tires and braking system. With Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit, you will always know when the brake is being depressed, and you will avoid costly damage.

Great installation instructions and vid eos.

Good instructions and easy to instal tnx to Lori AB for putting my order together



by:

Does what it is intended to do. Took a little time to install but it came with all the instructions I required, and it all looks and works great!



by:

Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company.

I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies).

Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company.

Thanks for your follow-up!



by:

The stop light switch kit is performing as expected. The installation is a little more difficult than what is shown. I ended up installing the switch to the bracket and then installing the bracket to the car. I have not replaced the cover-up panel under the dash installed in the car at the factory as it was damaged when removing it.



by:

I'am in the process of setting up my 2017 Equinox to tow behind our motorhome. I've placed 4-orders with etrailer. So far I've installed the base plate, the wiring from the rear tail lights to the front end.I also received my Tow bar and the quick release parts. my next project is to install the invisi brake system. I want to send Kudos to Cathy T for her help and her great customer service. I'am also thanking James A for his quick response to a question about the wiring harness. I'am extremely happy with the quality of everything I ordered at etrailer. Thanks



by:

Excellent well engineered product. Requires basic electrical knowledge and skills to install and adjust.
Worked perfectly the first time.

No problems,works great.



by:

This switch was a perfect fit for my 2017 Equinox. I followed the instructions on the etrailer video and it worked just perfect. It is much better than trying to find the brake switch wire in the vehicle wire bundle like I did for my previous vehicle. Kudos on the great videos available to help with installation.



by:

Works perfectly. A little hard to instal,l because of location under the dash ( lying on your back upside down) but you only have to do it once.

Install it correctly, and it has worked flawlessly for the last year and 6000 miles.



by:

Very easy installation with directions provided. On the Chevrolet Equinox this Stop Light Switch eliminates the need to install a relay. It will operate the brake lights in my Even Brake 9400 supplementary braking system. I recommend this Kit to make your supplementary braking system work.



by:

The equipment ordered was received as ordered and had preformed well. Etrailer personnel was very helpful during the informational and ordering processes.



by:

Product arrived as described and when scheduled. Installed via instructions provided. Although instructions could have been clearer from manufacturer, installation only took a few hours. When all said and done Even Brake system now functional in GMC Terrain.



by:

Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer.



by:

Works great! Installed it on my 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. It fit in just like the instructions said It would. No extra fabrication needed.

  • How to Find the Stop Light Switch Circuit on a 2013 GMC Terrain
    The stop light switch circuit on your 2013 GMC Terrain that you will need to find to install the Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller part # C74VV will need to be accessed through the body control module (BCM). The BCM is located under the driver's dash above where your left knee would be. On a 2011-2012 GMC Terrain we found that the white wire in the #11 position on the black connector was the correct circuit for the stop light switch. If the wire you have on your 2013 in this position...

  • Wiring Kits Needed To Flat Tow A 2017 Chevy Equinox
    The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7 would be a great option to transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of the Equinox. You can install a converter # 118158 and two additional diodes # RM-790 will be needed if you want to retain separate turn and brake signals on the Equinox. This is only connecting to the tail lights and would not need to splice into the brake light switch. You'd only need to tap into the brake light switch...

  • Where To Connect Red Wire Of Redarc Tow-Pro Elite RED44FR To 2015 Chevy Equinox
    I would he happy to help! You are correct that you cannot use the factory cold side of stop light switch wire on your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox as it does not have enough voltage, so what you are going to need to do is use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires of the BCM (Body Control Module) which should be under the driver side of the dash. You will need to test each wire until you find the one that has 12v power only when the brake pedal is pressed, and connect the red wire...

  • Brake Controller Parts Needed for Installing on 2012 Chevy Equinox
    If you are flat towing your 2012 Chevy Equinox behind an RV you would need a stoplight switch like the part # RM-751439. But if you are instead trying to install a brake controller like the part # 90195 you referenced for towing a trailer with the Equinox you would need to go a different route. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56094. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake...

  • Location of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2017 Chevrolet Equinox
    The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox has a brake pedal sensor which makes it difficult to locate and use the stop light switch to install our # ETBC7 kit. You'll need to access the BCM (body control module) under the dash which will likely be near the driver's left knee.

  • Is Brake Light Switch Necessary When Wiring 2011 Buick Enclave for Flat Towing
    You are correct about the purpose of the brake light switch. Its purpose is to provide verification that the brakes on your dinghy are being applied (as well as released) when needed. If the supplementary braking system you are using is not retracting properly, the tires and brakes on the dinghy could become prematurely worn or damaged.
