PRODUCT INFORMATION

BRAND Roadmaster Inc

Part Number: 88400

What does the Brake-Lite Relay do - It stops the brake lights from functioning until the vehicle is started. This prevents the towed vehicle’s brake signal from overriding the motorhome’s turn signal. When you tow without the Brake-Lite Relay, your towed vehicle’s brake lights alone will work fine. Your turn signals alone will work fine. But if you’re braking and turning, the brake light from the towed vehicle will override the turn signal from the motorhome and drivers behind you will be unaware you’re about to turn.

Do you need a Brake-Lite Relay - You only need a Brake-Lite Relay if you’re installing a supplemental towed vehicle braking system that pushes or pulls the brake pedal.

Exceptions:

With the engine off, step on your brakes. If the brake lights do not illuminate, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.

If you're using magnetic tow lights or a bulb and socket wiring kit, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.

If both your motorhome and towed vehicle are wired for separate brake and turn signals, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.

Note:

Many newer vehicles have a sleep mode which shuts down most electronics, including the brake lights, when the engine is turned off. However, this sleep mode isn’t instantaneous it takes a certain amount of time to kick in. Until that happens, your vehicle’s brake lights will override the turn signal during towing.

To avoid this you can either: a) install a Brake-Lite Relay; b) wire the vehicle so that the turn signals function while towing; c) install a bulb and socket kit; or d) wait for the sleep mode to activate before towing. The option you choose is a function of what works best for your particular towing combination.
