Is Brake-Lite Relay Needed for BrakeMaster Install on a 2023 Ford F-150
Question:
I'm planning to install the BrakeMaster RM-9160-900002 on my 2023 Ford F-150 for flat towing. Do I need the relay for this, and are there any other parts needed for the brake system to work correctly?

Expert Reply:
Yes, in order for the Roadmaster BrakeMaster # RM-9160-900002 to work correctly while you flat tow your 2023 Ford F-150 you need the following parts:
- Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400
- Stop Light Switch Kit # RM38MR
- BrakeMaster Custom Fit Seat Adapter # RM-88316
The relay kit ensures your brake lights work properly, the stop light switch kit gives you the correct signal you need for the brake "signal", and then the seat adapter gives you the best fit for the BrakeMaster on your truck.
