We offer two different Hopkins replacement switches with different lengths of lead wire. They are the Hopkins Replacement Break-Away Switch, 7 inich Lead Wires, item # HM20010, and... view full answer...

I do have options for you but just because the trailer has Dexter brakes does not mean it will also have a Dexter breakaway kit. If you want to replace just cable and pin then I will need to know the brand and model of your breakaway kit which can be found on the top of the switch. That said, breakaway kits are universal so it would be easiest to just replace both the switch and cable/pin with the Replacement Breakaway Switch with Cable and Pin part # K71-691. There are only two wires that... view full answer...

There is some wear and tear from driving with your breakaway kit engaged, but it is likely that the switch is all that will need to be replaced. The brake shoes were working hard and most likely wore down faster than they normally would, and I recommend pulling a hub to do a visual inspection to ensure there is still enough brake pad left. As long as there is some brake material left and it doesn't have a smooth glade on the outside of the pad, you don't need to replace them. If there... view full answer...

The breakaway kit pin when removed sends 12V power directly to your trailer brakes. Because you didn't have the pin in, the breakaway kit did exactly what it was designed to do for the trailer brakes.
The battery box having damage sounds like the circuit board overheated and will need replaced. This definitely isn't normal operation and I don't know the cause of that.

To replace the breakaway switch for your Brightway Group Breakaway Battery you'll just need the Replacement Breakaway Switch for Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kits # 3802348.

You'll want to use some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5 to protect your connections though. view full answer...

It sounds like the pin out has now drained the breakaway battery and that is why your trailer is rolling free. I recommend the Replacement Breakaway Switch Trailer Breakaway Kits # 3802348 to replace your pin and receiver and then charge your battery. Make sure to pull the pin to test function from time to time. A working pin and receiver should allow you to pull and reinsert the pin without issue so you can test it regularly. view full answer...

Do be sure to check and ensure the integrated charger is still working when connected to the tow vehicle as you may need to replace the charger as well. view full answer...
There are replacement parts for the Bright Way Push-to-Test ICU Trailer Breakaway Kit with 0.5-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery part # BW94FR but the case/charger is not one of them. Therefore, if you want to upgrade you'd be looking at an entire new system but as the case and charger are the bulk of the kit, you aren't wasting much money. Furthermore, not all breakaway batteries fit in this case so you need to be sure you're using the one that comes with. view full answer...

There is a top load version # 20400 that mounts to the trailer rail from the side. The difference in mounting is not a big issue but rather a preference.
