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.



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:

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.

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2014 Chevy Equinox with a All Terrain Tow Bar
    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. For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643 which are coiled to keep them from touching the ground and...

  • Installing Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 on 2010 Chevy Equinox
    The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 can fit both the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain. It is possible that the photo illustrations in the instructions may show interior detail of more than one vehicle. My contact at Roadmaster confirmed this is often the case. The photos shown are general representative examples rather than exact literal illustrations of your particular year/make/model vehicle. Also, auto makers may sometimes make minor revisions to vehicles, such as...

  • 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.

  • Even Brake Supplemental Braking System Not Functioning on a 2012 Chevy Equinox
    First, if you are not using the stop light switch kit # RM-751439 it is required for proper functioning of the Even Brake, # RM-9400, on the 2012 Equinox. It sounds as if the switch, if it is being used, is either not hooked up properly or the wiring between it and the monitor in the motor home is not connected. When it does its test and presses the brake pedal, it is not sensing the brake switch kit. The fuse issue is a common complaint but there is a solution. Just install a fuse bypass,...

  • What Allows The Roadmaster Even Brake To Communicate With My Motorhome?
    In order for your Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 to work with your 2016 Chevrolet Equinox AWD, you'll also need to install the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332, as well as the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 is what is going to allow your Even Brake System # RM-9400 in your toad, to communicate with your motorhome.

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting Older Roadmaster Even Brake Supplemental Braking System in 2013 Chevy Equinox
    If your Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 will not build pressure after going through its setup routine inside your 2013 Equinox my contact at Roadmaster suggested that you could need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit for Chevrolet Equinox # RM-751439. Since your Even Brake would not complete the setup he thinks this could be why. The Even Brake system from 2008 and the one made currently are mostly identical but even a new one could have the same...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 GMC Terrain Behind a Motor Home
    To tow a vehicle behind a motor home with all wheels on the ground the first step is to consult the vehicle owners manual. Some vehicles have special requirements or restrictions and procedures for flat towing. If your model can be flat towed then the first thing you are going to need are base plates on the 2014 GMC Terrain. The base plates provide a proper and secure attachment point for the tow bar. Demco base plates # DM9518315 are listed as a fit for all models of the 2014 GMC Terrain. For...

  • 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...

  • Is the Stop Light Switch Kit Needed With the Stay-IN-Play DUO to Flat Tow a 2017 Chevy Equinox
    It is recommended to install the Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 on your 2017 Chevrolet Equinox to ensure that the LED notification works properly for the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. 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. You will need to remove some fuses to flat tow your Equinox as well. I recommend installing a Roadmaster...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 GMC Terrain Behind a Class C Motor Home
    The first thing I would recommend to do is to check your owners manual or with the GMC dealer on the proper procedure for towing the vehicle. Some vehicles might need to be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed. 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...

  • 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.

The Stop Light Switch Kit will allow you to tap into your vehicle's brake-light switch so that the RV's monitoring system will alert you whenever the brake pedal of the towed car is being applied.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Chevy Equinox Behind a Motor Home
    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. Before going any further you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual to make sure your Equinox can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements or procedures you need to...

To do this you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. These two vehicles are extremely similar so the needed parts will be the same for either option. Starting with the base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-523184-5.

You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, a high low adapter, and a few other parts for power and fuses to make sure everything works together properly.

Since you upgraded to the 2015 Terrain these parts will actually stay the same so you will just need to get another EZ Base Plate Kit # 523163-1. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

    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...

    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...
