How to Power Supplemental Braking on a Vehicle that Requires Battery to Be Disconnected
Question:
I Have set-up my 2016 Yukon Denial to flat tow with Blue Ox products ,Road Master Even Brake and a negative battery post disconnect switch. As the Yukon manual states you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before flat towing. As I do that is cuts all power off in the vechile leaving no power to run the Even Brake. Any ideas on how to get around this problem? Thanks

Expert Reply:
We have just what you need as this is a fairly common situation. What you need is the part # RM-9332. This attaches to the battery and allows you an outlet for an accessory like your Even Brake part # RM-9400 to have power.
You will also need the part # DW05705-1 to connect to the battery post as well.
