Step two
Wire the motorhome
Note: there are two lengths of black wire in this kit,
each with a female bullet connector at one end. Use
the long length of wire in this step.
Note: some motorhomes are manufactured with aux-
iliary wires pre-strung from the rear of the motorhome
to the dashboard, for aftermarket accessories such as
this. Call the manufacturer.
1.
Attach the end of the black wire with the female bul-
let connector to the back of the motorhome, near the
female quick coupler you attached in step 13, “Install
air lines in the towed vehicle.”
Attach the connector with one or more of the in-
cluded wire ties. Allow enough slack so that a male
bullet connector can be plugged into and out of it.
2.
Once the female bullet connector is attached, route
the wire from the back of the motorhome to the under-
side of the dashboard. Avoid lines, hoses, moving parts
(slideouts, sliding generators, sliding battery trays) or
“hot” components such as exhaust systems. Where
appropriate, use wire ties to secure the wire to the
undercarriage.
Step three
Attach the leD
1.
Choose an area on the motorhome dashboard to
mount the LED. Look for a mounting point away from
pre-existing wires or components, where the LED can
be easily seen by the driver.
2.
Drill a 5/16" hole through the dashboard at the point
you have chosen. Before drilling, make certain you will
not damage any components on the other side.
3.
Center the LED decal (Figure 15) over the hole, and
press it down. Or, you may choose to omit the decal,
depending on your preferences.
4.
From the top of the dashboard, slide the LED through
the hole, wires first, until the base of the bulb (Figure
15) is flush to the top of the dash.
5.
From the underside of the dash, fit both of the wires
through the speed nut (Figure 15). Then push the speed
nut up, against the dash, to secure the LED in place.
6.
Connect to power — Trim the black wire, which you
routed from the back of the motorhome. (Save the ex-
cess; you may use it in the next step.) Then, connect
the black wire to the red LED wire, using one of the
included butt connectors.
7.
Connect to ground — Connect the ground wire from
the LED to any good chassis ground, using the included
figure 15
ring terminal. (If necessary, use any excess wire from
the preceding step to extend the length of the ground
wire.)
Step four
connect the patch cord between
the motorhome and the towed vehicle
Note: the patch cord is the six-foot length of air line
and wiring, covered in blue plastic loom.
1.
Connect the male and female quick couplers at
either end of the air line to the corresponding quick
couplers on the motorhome and towed vehicle.
Push the couplers together until the housing (Figures
12 and 13) on the female coupler slides forward and
‘clicks,’ locking the couplers together.
(To disconnect the couplers, pull back on the hous-
ing on the female coupler until the couplers release.)
never pull back on the housing to connect the cou-
plers — this will prevent the couplers from locking. the
couplers may disconnect during towing, preventing
the supplemental braking system from functioning.
2.
Connect the male bullet connectors at either end
of the monitor wire to the female bullet connectors on
the motorhome and towed vehicle monitor wiring har-
nesses.
