Symptom
Even Brake does not pass the ini-
tial self-diagnostics test. The second
motorhome monitor message is “No
brake light switch detected.”
Nothing happens after proper in-
stallation.
The towed vehicle’s fuse for the 12-
volt outlet keeps blowing.
The compressor comes on when
Even Brake is plugged in, but not ac-
tually being used for braking.
Wireless components in the towed
vehicle such as the door lock, alarm
or tire pressure monitoring system do
not function.
Solution
Electrical
•
If fuse(s) must be removed from the vehicle before it can be towed,
Even Brake may have been incorrectly installed. Check to see if Even
Brake operates normally with the fuse(s) in place. If it does, refer to the
Installation Instructions to re-wire the Brake Lite Relay so that it will func-
tion with the fuse(s) removed.
•
If an aftermarket stop light switch was installed, check the physical
installation of the stop light switch — make certain that the plunger is
compressed when the brake pedal is fully released.
If the plunger is properly adjusted, check the brake light fuse.
•
If the motorhome is stationary, Even Brake will not activate if the mo-
torhome’s brake pedal is depressed. Even Brake responds to the decel-
eration of the motorhome, not to the brake pedal.
•
Check the towed vehicle’s battery voltage. If the battery doesn’t have
sufficient power, Even Brake will not operate.
•
Check to make certain that the break away pin is in place.
•
Check for a red light at the end of the 12-volt power cord. If there is
no light, there is no power.
•
Check the fuse on the end of the 12-volt power cord. If the fuse is
blown, polarity at the 12-volt outlet may be crossed, with positive
connected to ground, and ground to positive. Correct the wiring, and
replace the fuse in the 12-volt power cord.
•
An optional 12-volt outlet kit may be required. Refer to “Before you
begin the installation,” in the Installation Instructions.
•
The operating temperature range is between -2
°
and +150
°
F
(-19
°
to +66
°
C). Even Brake will not operate at temperatures above
or below this range.
•
Check the 12-volt outlet fuse size. It must be rated at 15 amps or
higher. If the amperage is not sufficient, install the optional 12-volt outlet
kit. (Refer to the “Vehicle-Specific Components” section.)
•
If the fuse is of sufficient size, unplug the break away harness connec-
tion at the ICX transmitter. If the fuse stops blowing, you have a short in
the break away wiring harness. Inspect the wire for possible grounding.
Even Brake’s compressor will activate about every 10 minutes due to
normal air dissipation. If the compressor activates repeatedly within 10
minutes or less (when not braking), contact ROADMASTER — you may
have an air leak in the air cylinder.
Always unplug the 12-volt power cord from Even Brake
before
unplug-
ging the ICX transmitter cord. Otherwise, the transmitter may send a
continuous RF signal. This signal may interfere with the vehicle’s wireless
components.
In some instances, it may be necessary to install an on-off toggle
switch to the red ICX power wire to prevent these transmissions (Refer
to the installation instructions; the most current version of the instructions
is available at www.roadmasterinc.com.).
