I went to see an old break buddy road master pro for sale, it seems like everything works, I did not try the transmitters though, and I assume the break is activated by inertia ? Am I correct?
Anyway, the only issue is the break away plug is an RCA on the break buddy and my car has a 2 plug black and red.
Is it safe to assume all I need to do is replace the plug? I do not know the order which one goes in the center?
Thank you much

The ones in the attached photo are BANANA PLUGS - that is kind of dangerous as they could short out? I have a older brake buddy I bought and never used. I suspect they use an RCA plug and the chassis ground? You set up as shown uses the + and - leads most likely.
The one I have is inertia driven.
Be well,

I'm not sure I understand our problem. The breakaway device sits up front and is connected to the back of your MH by a coiled cable. From the breakaway device two lines go to the BB and they have the RCA plugs. How does your car tie into this? It shouldn't.
You can find a manual (not complete IMO) at http://www.brakebuddy.com/pic/instructions/classic_instr.pdf (http://www.brakebuddy.com/pic/instructions/classic_instr.pdf)

Oh sorry
You described all correct
This is an old BB so there are 3 plugs
White and red, these are for the transmitters
Also a blue one which is for the brake away my car was wired by the previous owner but apparently his system used these two "banana plugs" instead a RCA plug so I have now banana plugs question is can I assume replacing the plug in my car for a RCA would work?

I do not like ANY plug / connector that leaves a "Hot" wire in the open that can short.
