Troubleshooting Roadmaster EvenBrake That Doesn't Pump Brake Pedal During Test
Question:
Added my even brake to another vehicle. Now the monitor says the test was good and it seems to be communicating, but the cylinder does not press on the brake during the test. Unit builds pressure and it sounds like the solenoid is shifting during the test, but no brake pedal movement.

Expert Reply:
When you test the Roadmaster EvenBrake # RM-9400 it should conclude the test by pumping the brake pedal 3 times. It sounds like there might be an issue here with the Roadmaster EvenBrake # RM-9400 and the new vehicle might not have the Stop Light Switch # RM-751452 installed on it, which is required.
If you've got the Stop Light Switch installed in the new vehicle and this malfunction is still occurring, let me know and I can give you a few other things to look at to get you back on the road.
