Will Roadmaster Charge Line Kit for 2013 Chevy Spark Interfere with Powering Braking System
Question:
If I use the RM-152-98146-7 wiring harness, how do I hookup my braking system. The car manual says the battery has to be disconnected when flat towing, So I will have to use the aux line from my 7 way connector for a 12 volt plug, therefore preventing me from using the RM-156-25 Battery Line Charge Kit???

Expert Reply:
Which braking system are you using? Typically, if it's a system that plugs into a 12-V plug you'd install a plug like # RM-9332 which is wired directly to the battery. The # RM-156-25 will use the extra circuit in the umbilical provided with the # RM-152-98146-7 wiring kit to keep the battery topped off, but the braking system would be powered directly by the battery via the 12-v plug. I've linked to a video of the # RM-9332 being installed on a similar vehicle.
