Does Factory 7-Way of 2010 Toyota Sequoia Have Voltage for Activating Reverse Lockout Solenoid

Question:

I have a 2010 Sequoia with the factory 7 way. What wire harness do I need to connect to my trailer if install a brake actuator with a reverse lockout solenoid?

The factory 7-way of your 2010 Toyota Sequoia should be already wired up to activate the reverse lockout solenoid of a surge brake trailer. What you can do is test the center pin of the 7-way for voltage when the vehicle is in reverse and someone holding their foot on the brake so it doesn't run you over. It should show 12 volts. That would be all that is needed for the reverse lockout.

If not you need to run a wire from that center pin to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle.
