trailer brake January 30, 2011, 11:11:47 am Yahoo Message Number: 6312ok in install my new trailer brake and have just a questioni found and read the article 66 and my blue wire was under the computer and fuse box under the hood no problembut when i wired up my signal lead to the brake switch out put and you manuely activate the trailer brake it also powers up the electric brake motor. I pick up the out put signal off the brake switch which is the white wire. Seems to me i need to pick up the signal wire after the electric brake motor and relay so it dose not power the motor not that i will ever use the trailer brake by them self, but it would be nice if i had to, Quote Selected

Re: trailer brake Reply #5 – January 31, 2011, 05:59:54 am Yahoo Message Number: 6317Get under your MH on passenger side by the step. Look at drive-shaft side of frame. You will see the Junction Ground Block and Chassis Harness Connector as pictured in Fig 2 on page 3 of Bulletin 66.BestRon Hall Quote Selected

Re: trailer brake Reply #8 – February 01, 2011, 03:25:38 pm Yahoo Message Number: 6326Here's how I did it - I will double check, but I dont think I am having that problem.For me it was:White wire from the prodigy is the ground wire - connected to the black wire on the harnessRed wire from the prodigy is the stop signal - connected to the light blue wire on the harnessBlack wire from the prodigy is the ignition wire, connected to the brown wire on the harnessBlue wire from the prodigy is the brake signal wire - Connected to the blue pigtail under the fuse box, and then also ran to the rear of the coach.
