Troubleshooting Brakes Pulsing with Blinkers with Demco SBS Stay in Play System

Question:

I installed a stay and play system to my 2012 jeep wrangler. Now when I use my MH turn signal the brakes pulse. I have looked on line and it said I needed to have a diode added to my system but i also looked on your etrailer expert section and they say my battery needs to be disconnected. can you tell me which of these i should try?

I recently asked Demco about brakes pulsing with the install of the Demco SBS Stay in Play part # SM99251 and they said this was normal if the sensitivity was cranked up too high and near the max setting. Have you set the sensitivity setting of your setup yet.

I have the same issue after the sensitivity has been adjusted.

The manufacturer says the brake pulsing can happen if the sensitivity was cranked up too high. Try adjusting this. Also, you mentioned diodes. If your brake LIGHTS flash quickly (braking performance unchanged) then this issue is resolved with diodes, but it does not sound like you have this issue.

@LesD Thanks yes, I missed one step in the setup, all seems good now.
