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.

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:

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:

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:

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:

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



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.

  • Mounting Location for Air Reservoir from Roadmaster BrakeMaster System on 2010 Chevy Equinox
    The Roadmaster BrakeMaster System # RM-9160 referenced in your question is confirmed to work with your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. When there is not enough room under the hood to install the air reservoir for the break away system, the most common alternate locations are next to the driver's seat or under the dash near the left kick panel. For your application these mounting locations will work great. In order to install this system on your Equinox, you will also need the Stop Light Switch...

  • Is Brake Light Relay Required for 2015 GMC Terrain Using Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring # HM56108
    The Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring Kit # HM56108 that fits your 2015 GMC Terrain includes built-in diodes to prevents electrical feedback to the car's electrical system. You will not need separate diodes or the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732 but you may need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400. If the vehicle brake lights come on without the vehicle being on then you need the kit. You will also need Brake Light Switch Kit # RM-751439.

I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a video review of this kit for you to take a look at.

    A Brake lite switch relay part # RM-88400 is not required when using the Roadmaster Portable Supplemental Braking System - Preset part # RM-9400 on the 2015 GMC Terrain. However, a Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Chevrolet Equinox / GMC Terrain part # RM-751439 is required which works the same as the brake lite relay but both are not needed according to the installation instructions of the 9700 braking system.

  • Will Installation of a Even Brake System on a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox Dinghy Affect the Brake Lights
    For your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, you will not have to worry about the brake lights from the towing vehicle interfering with the brake lights on the dinghy when the brakes and Even Brake system are activated. You will need to use a Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit, # RM-751439, for your vehicle. This kit will bypass the Equinox braking system making your wiring completely separate from the vehicle brake light system. You will still need to wire the Equinox for towing just like you did the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevy Equinox Behind a Motor Home
    Roadmaster base plates # 523163-1 are only listed as a fit for the 2010 to 2015 GMC Terrain but not the Equinox. For the 2010 Chevy Equinox you can use Roadmaster base plates # RM-523160-4. I assume that since you previously flat towed the Terrain that you have a tow bar and safety cables but I will make some recommendations just in case you need those items as well. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. You can also use coiled safety cables # RM-643. For a lighting...

    Yes, you can use your Stowmaster tow bar with Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-523184-4 for your 2017 Chevy Equinox. In addition to the base plates and the tow bar you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643 because the coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. It looks like you will need to pull...

  • What is Max Speed a Chevy Equinox Can Go When Flat Towed
    Your 2017 Chevy Equinox AWD is flat towable with a max speed of 65 mph as stated in the owners manual of your vehicle. Now if you hit 66 miles per hour for a few seconds when towing is the car going to immediately be damaged? Probably not, but to be on the safe side since transmission repairs aren't cheap I'd recommend sticking with 65 as the max. For flat towing your Equinox, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1689 along with the Blue Ox Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount...

    According to the online manual for the GMC terrain that I reviewed the vehicle can be flat-towed once a few preparation steps are taken, including removal of fuse 32 to prevent battery drain. I suggest you refer to your owners manual, specifically the section identified in the index as Recreational Towing, just to confirm that your particular Terrain is suitable for flat-towing and to become familiar with the steps necessary. Here is what I found in the manual: 1. Position the vehicle...

  • Installing Stop Light Switch For Supplemental Braking System On 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
    There are a couple of things that need to be addressed when towing your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox behind your motor home. The first question you asked was how to access the brake lite switch under the dash. Per Roadmaster, a stop light switch, part # RM-751439, needs to be installed. For your vehicle, you need the stop light switch installed because your Equinox brake switch does not provide the correct signal needed when using a supplemental brake system.

  • 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...

  • Can 2013 GMC Terrain be Flat Towed and Parts Needed to Flat Tow
    I took a look at an online version of the owner's manual of your 2013 GMC Terrain and on page 10-71 it states that "front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles may be dinghy towed from the front" which means you can flat tow your '13 Terrain with front-wheel drive. I recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual and also going over the steps you need to take in order to do this. There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow your 2013 GMC Terrain, which I'll list...

  • 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.

  • Brake Light Switch Kit for 2015 Chevy Equinox to Activate InvisiBrake Monitoring System
    Chevy did make things a little complicated on the 2015 Chevy Equinox but I have a solution for you. You can install stop light switch kit # RM-751439 and run the power out to the brake pedal monitoring system for the Invisibrake # RM-8700. It is actually required for this exact reason. I have linked a video showing an example installation on a 2014 Equinox. It will be nearly identical on your 2015 model.

  • Troubleshooting Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System On 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    I called my contact at Roadmaster about the # RM-9400 and the troubleshooting message you keep getting. They told me that you need to check the green wire that is coming out of the # RM-751452 switch. You should only show current when the brake pedal is depressed. If you are not showing current, then the switch is probably bad or it has shorted out and needs to be replaced.

    Some models of the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox cannot be flat towed, especially those with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). These models must be towed using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. This tow dolly comes with electric brakes, safety cables, adjustable axle and ramps, and adjustable wheel nets. I have included a link to the installation details.

To flat tow your 2012 GMC Terrain you will need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Also, the Discrete Logic Ignition Switch fuse (fuse #32) needs...

    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...
