Even Brake Will Not Pass Self-Test and Shows "Not Opertaional, No Brake Switch Detected"
Question:
Even brake charges and after compression and run test, it quits and will not recharge itself. On vehicle unit has red light and on monitor shows code ‘Not operational more info’ then ‘no brake switch detected’. Any idea of what to try or do? Thank you.

There are a couple of things that could lead to the problem you are having with your Even Brake supplemental braking system # RM-9400. I checked with Roadmaster and the first thing the mentioned pertains to the vehicle it is install in.
If your toad has to have fuses pulled in order to flat tow it then it is possible that the Even Brake was not installed correctly. If you have pulled the fuses for the test then try putting the fuses back in and run the test again. If the Even Brake works normally then you will need to re-wire the brake light relay that was included with the Even Brake for it to work correctly when the fuses are pulled. I have linked the brake light relay instructions for you.
The other suggestion was regarding a brake light switch kit. If your toad requires a brake light switch kit then you will want to check the installation and make sure that its plunger compresses when the brake pedal is fully released. If it is adjusted correctly then you can also check the vehicle brake light fuse to make sure it is not blown.
