Module for Separating Out Dedicated Stoplight Circuit for Salter with Running Light/Stop Light

Question

Question:

I have a salter in the back of my truck that has a running light/brake light in one. If I use the PP20-702 module and wire it to a 4-pin connector and plug it in my trailer plug, will it have the light on with my tailights, then brighten up when I step on the brakes?

Expert Reply:

The running light/brake light on your salter should have a wire ran to it for the brake light and one for the running light. You'd want to use the # PP20-702 to isolate out the brake light like you need to run to the stoplight circuit of your salter light and then the current running light circuit you have present would then run to the correct circuit on the light and you'd be set.

To me it sounds like you just have a defective unit and just need to replace it. The purpose of the module #PP20-702 is to filter out the turn signal and illuminate the 3rd brake light only. So, if it is not doing that and you've confirmed you…

You can hard-wire in a brake controller, and it seems that there are not a lot of the Sprinter 3500 models that are pre-wired, at least from what I've seen in my research. I have not seen any reports that this isn't possible, and we even have…

I think you are going in the right direction. I would definitely replace the 14 gauge wire going to the trailer brake magnets with 10 gauge wire or larger. Usually larger than 10 gauge is hard to get into the trailer connector though. I would also…
