Break Away Switch Replacement Recommendation for Brake Buddy
Question:
I bought a Honda CRV which is set up to tow. It has the break away switch and the plug going to the Brake Buddy is a three wire plug. The socket on the Brake Buddy that I have is for a two wire plug. If I get a new plug that fits the Brake Buddy which wires do I connect to the new plug?

According to my contact at Hopkins Manufacturing, the # HM20010 break away switch you referenced would be a good choice to replace your damaged breakaway switch. A breakaway switch basically only completes the circuit between two wires so I am not sure why your setup would have three wires.
