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:

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

No problems,works great.

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:

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:

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:

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:

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



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.

  • 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...

    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...

  • Is Stoplight Switch Kit and Brake Lite Relay the Same Thing for 2012 Chevy Equinox
    The brake lite relay part # RM-88400 and the stop light switch kit part # RM-751439 are different parts that perform different functions. You will also need the part # RM-751439 if your braking system needs to be notified when the brakes are applied.

  • Brake Light Switch Kit for 2015 Chevy Equinox to Activate InvisiBrake Monitoring System

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.

    To flat tow your 2014 Chevy Equinox you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, possibly a high-low adapter, and a few additional accessories. The base plate kit that works with both the Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 you referenced and your Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 is the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-523160-4.

    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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

    According to my research if your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox AWD 2.0L 9-Speed Automatic 6T50 is a 2018 you can only tow your Equinox on a trailer. I recommend checking your owners manual to confirm. If your owners manual confirms that the Equinox is able to be flat towed, I have the following recommendations to get your towing started. You will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1689 along with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380. This comes with the safety chains needed. For your tow bar...

  • Is a Brake Light Relay Needed with a Brake Buddy to Flat Tow a 2014 Chevy Equinox Behind an RV
    On a 2014 Chevy Equinox you should NOT have to use brake light relay when flat towing the vehicle. You may however need a 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332 and will most likely need a stop light switch kit # RM-751439 for the system to work properly and so you know the brake pedal in the Equinox is actually moving. I have included links to some videos showing how these parts install. Check your owners manual because it looks like a fuse has to be pulled to flat tow your Equinox. To make this...

  • What Fuse of 2015 GMC Terrain Needs to be Pulled to Flat Tow It
    According to the online manual for the 2015 GMC terrain that I looked at the vehicle can be flat-towed once a few steps are taken, including the removal of fuse 32 that's in the interior fuse box 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. It will be the 32 fuse under the...

  • Will the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit Work with a Towmatic II Tow Bar on a 2014 Equinox
    The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, # RM-523160-4, requires the tow bar adapter, # RM-038, to work with the Towmatic II tow bar. The base plates on your Honda should have required this adapter as well, so if you already have the adapter, you could simply reuse it with your new base plates on the Chevy Equinox. The only other part you may be interested in is the Roadmaster Quick Disconnect Kit, # RM-201. This will make it easier to disconnect the tow bar from the adapter when you are not towing....

There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow a 2012 GMC Terrain: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518262 - Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire...

If you can find a wire that is solely dedicated to the brake light then you can use the method that comes in the instructions for the DUO but we have found that it is difficult to locate this wire.

Probably not, but to be on the safe side since transmission repairs aren't cheap I'd recommend sticking with 65 as the max.

    Between the MX and EZ4 base plates for the 2011 Chevy Equinox, both have removable draw-bar arms that you can take out when not in use so either one would be virtually invisible with the arms out. I recommend going with the EZ4 base plates, # RM-523160-4, because they are compatible with more tow bars.
