Can I Use Curt Replacement Breakaway Switch With TAP Breakaway System
Question:
Im trying to replace a breakaway switch where the plunger simply pulled out somewhere and broke not during travel. The trailer has a TAP breakaway system, but I bought a CURT breakaway replacement switch. Can I wire the CURT breakaway switch with the TAP system?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The TAP breakaway system is actually the same as the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger part # 20400.
You can use the Replacement Switch for Curt Soft Trac I and II Trailer Breakaway Kits part # C52010 with the TAP system. The two blue wires from the Curt switch will splice into the blue wire from the breakaway box and the other blue wire splices into the electric brake wire of the trailer. I have attached a diagram for your reference.
