Is Truck Brake Controller Wire Needed With Curt Echo Brake Controller on Truck With Air Brakes
Question:
The Curt Echo brake controller requires a constant 12v. My trailer has a 12 V battery wired into the 12V slot on the 7 way connector. Can the echos 12V be supplied from there or does it have to come from the truck side of the connector.

The blue brake wire that is normally required to connect to a 7-way for use with a brake controller is not needed for use with the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
The only thing the Echo needs are the 12 volt, ground, and turn signals connected to the 7-way. Additionally, this controller is absolutely compatible with your diesel pusher that uses air brakes as well so it is really the best option for a brake controller for your set up.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
