Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are more likely having and issue with your tow bar wiring rather than the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243. You can test this by testing your Air Force One system. Depress the break and verify that the LED indicator light is coming on and that the actuator is pulling the brake pedal in your towed vehicle. If that is happening, then the Air Force One is working properly. The Air Force One is not what provides power to illuminate your brake lights, it is simply applying your brakes. The tow bar wiring/diode kit is what is providing the power to use your towed vehicles brake lights/turn signals.
If you find you have a different issue please reach out to me with more information on your towed vehicle and tow bar wiring, I would be happy to assist you further.
