Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - RM-751439
- Stop Light Switch
- Roadmaster
Avoid damage to your vehicle by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. Kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.
Features:
- Activates motorhome brake-monitoring system whenever brake pedal in towed car is applied
- Ensures that the supplemental braking system is functioning properly
- Works great for any application that does not have a tow position in the ignition
- Wires directly into towed car's fuse box for constant current
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- 12 Volts
- Application: custom fit for your vehicle
This kit allows your RV's monitoring system to alert you whenever the brake pedal of your towed car is being applied. Other systems operate according to whether the air cylinder is extended and provide no indication of what is happening with the pedal itself. If your supplemental braking system is improperly installed, it may be continuously pressing on the pedal, impeding it from fully retracting and possibly causing damage to your vehicle's tires and braking system. With Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit, you will always know when the brake is being depressed, and you will avoid costly damage.

Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company.
I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies).
Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company.
Thanks for your follow-up!

I'am in the process of setting up my 2017 Equinox to tow behind our motorhome. I've placed 4-orders with etrailer. So far I've installed the base plate, the wiring from the rear tail lights to the front end.I also received my Tow bar and the quick release parts. my next project is to install the invisi brake system. I want to send Kudos to Cathy T for her help and her great customer service. I'am also thanking James A for his quick response to a question about the wiring harness. I'am extremely happy with the quality of everything I ordered at etrailer. Thanks

The stop light switch kit is performing as expected. The installation is a little more difficult than what is shown. I ended up installing the switch to the bracket and then installing the bracket to the car. I have not replaced the cover-up panel under the dash installed in the car at the factory as it was damaged when removing it.
by: JimD06/02/2017
Very easy installation with directions provided. On the Chevrolet Equinox this Stop Light Switch eliminates the need to install a relay. It will operate the brake lights in my Even Brake 9400 supplementary braking system. I recommend this Kit to make your supplementary braking system work.
by: John J.12/13/2018
This switch was a perfect fit for my 2017 Equinox. I followed the instructions on the etrailer video and it worked just perfect. It is much better than trying to find the brake switch wire in the vehicle wire bundle like I did for my previous vehicle. Kudos on the great videos available to help with installation.
by: Larry08/11/2018
Excellent well engineered product. Requires basic electrical knowledge and skills to install and adjust.
Worked perfectly the first time.
by: Charles02/16/2018
Works perfectly. A little hard to instal,l because of location under the dash ( lying on your back upside down) but you only have to do it once.

Install it correctly, and it has worked flawlessly for the last year and 6000 miles.

Product arrived as described and when scheduled. Installed via instructions provided. Although instructions could have been clearer from manufacturer, installation only took a few hours. When all said and done Even Brake system now functional in GMC Terrain.

Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer.

- Is Brake Light Switch Necessary When Wiring 2011 Buick Enclave for Flat TowingYou are correct about the purpose of the brake light switch. Its purpose is to provide verification that the brakes on your dinghy are being applied (as well as released) when needed. If the supplementary braking system you are using is not retracting properly, the tires and brakes on the dinghy could become prematurely worn or damaged.
view full answer... - Installing Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 on 2010 Chevy EquinoxThe Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 can fit both the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain. It is possible that the photo illustrations in the instructions may show interior detail of more than one vehicle. My contact at Roadmaster confirmed this is often the case. The photos shown are general representative examples rather than exact literal illustrations of your particular year/make/model vehicle. Also, auto makers may sometimes make minor revisions to vehicles, such as...
view full answer... - Is Stoplight Switch Kit and Brake Lite Relay the Same Thing for 2012 Chevy EquinoxThe brake lite relay part # RM-88400 and the stop light switch kit part # RM-751439 are different parts that perform different functions. You will also need the part # RM-751439 if your braking system needs to be notified when the brakes are applied.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Older Roadmaster Even Brake Supplemental Braking System in 2013 Chevy EquinoxIf your Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 will not build pressure after going through its setup routine inside your 2013 Equinox my contact at Roadmaster suggested that you could need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit for Chevrolet Equinox # RM-751439. Since your Even Brake would not complete the setup he thinks this could be why. The Even Brake system from 2008 and the one made currently are mostly identical but even a new one could have the same...
view full answer... - Even Brake Supplemental Braking System Not Functioning on a 2012 Chevy EquinoxFirst, if you are not using the stop light switch kit # RM-751439 it is required for proper functioning of the Even Brake, # RM-9400, on the 2012 Equinox. It sounds as if the switch, if it is being used, is either not hooked up properly or the wiring between it and the monitor in the motor home is not connected. When it does its test and presses the brake pedal, it is not sensing the brake switch kit. The fuse issue is a common complaint but there is a solution. Just install a fuse bypass,...
view full answer... - Brake Light Switch Kit for 2015 Chevy Equinox to Activate InvisiBrake Monitoring SystemChevy did make things a little complicated on the 2015 Chevy Equinox but I have a solution for you. You can install stop light switch kit # RM-751439 and run the power out to the brake pedal monitoring system for the Invisibrake # RM-8700. It is actually required for this exact reason. I have linked a video showing an example installation on a 2014 Equinox. It will be nearly identical on your 2015 model.
view full answer... - Location of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2017 Chevrolet EquinoxThe 2017 Chevrolet Equinox has a brake pedal sensor which makes it difficult to locate and use the stop light switch to install our # ETBC7 kit. You'll need to access the BCM (body control module) under the dash which will likely be near the driver's left knee. You'll want to use a circuit tester like # 3808 to confirm you have the correct wire that only shows power when the brake pedal is pressed. Another option is to create your own stop light switch using # RM-751439. The kit is...

I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a video review of this kit for you to take a look at. Also, keep in mind that with your '10 Equinox you will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Chevrolet Equinox / GMC Terrain # RM-751439...
view full answer... - Mounting Location for Air Reservoir from Roadmaster BrakeMaster System on 2010 Chevy EquinoxThe Roadmaster BrakeMaster System # RM-9160 referenced in your question is confirmed to work with your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. When there is not enough room under the hood to install the air reservoir for the break away system, the most common alternate locations are next to the driver's seat or under the dash near the left kick panel. For your application these mounting locations will work great. In order to install this system on your Equinox, you will also need the Stop Light Switch...

The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 is what is going to allow your Even Brake System # RM-9400 in your toad, to communicate with your motorhome. The other piece of the puzzle is the 12-Volt kit # RM-9332, which...

The Stop Light Switch Kit will allow you to tap into your vehicle's brake-light switch so that the RV's monitoring system will alert you whenever the brake pedal of the towed car is being applied. I have attached an installation video on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox for you to review....
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System On 2015 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedI called my contact at Roadmaster about the # RM-9400 and the troubleshooting message you keep getting. They told me that you need to check the green wire that is coming out of the # RM-751452 switch. You should only show current when the brake pedal is depressed. If you are not showing current, then the switch is probably bad or it has shorted out and needs to be replaced.
view full answer... - Installing Stop Light Switch For Supplemental Braking System On 2013 Chevrolet EquinoxThere are a couple of things that need to be addressed when towing your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox behind your motor home. The first question you asked was how to access the brake lite switch under the dash. Per Roadmaster, a stop light switch, part # RM-751439, needs to be installed. For your vehicle, you need the stop light switch installed because your Equinox brake switch does not provide the correct signal needed when using a supplemental brake system. The included instructions with...

- How to Find the Stop Light Switch Circuit on a 2013 GMC TerrainThe stop light switch circuit on your 2013 GMC Terrain that you will need to find to install the Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller part # C74VV will need to be accessed through the body control module (BCM). The BCM is located under the driver's dash above where your left knee would be. On a 2011-2012 GMC Terrain we found that the white wire in the #11 position on the black connector was the correct circuit for the stop light switch. If the wire you have on your 2013 in this position...

- Parts Needed to Transfer A Roadmaster Even Brake To a 2014 Chevrolet EquinoxTo transfer the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 into your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox you will only need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439. If you do not wish to remove all the parts or you trimmed your wiring to fit, you can also get the Roadmaster Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit # RM-98400 and a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to install your current Even Brake on your Equinox with all new wiring.
view full answer... - Will Installation of a Even Brake System on a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox Dinghy Affect the Brake LightsFor your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, you will not have to worry about the brake lights from the towing vehicle interfering with the brake lights on the dinghy when the brakes and Even Brake system are activated. You will need to use a Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit, # RM-751439, for your vehicle. This kit will bypass the Equinox braking system making your wiring completely separate from the vehicle brake light system. You will still need to wire the Equinox for towing just like you did the...
view full answer... - Is a Brake Light Relay Needed with a Brake Buddy to Flat Tow a 2014 Chevy Equinox Behind an RVOn a 2014 Chevy Equinox you should NOT have to use brake light relay when flat towing the vehicle. You may however need a 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332 and will most likely need a stop light switch kit # RM-751439 for the system to work properly and so you know the brake pedal in the Equinox is actually moving. I have included links to some videos showing how these parts install. Check your owners manual because it looks like a fuse has to be pulled to flat tow your Equinox. To make this...
view full answer... - Is Brake Light Relay Required for 2015 GMC Terrain Using Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring # HM56108The Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring Kit # HM56108 that fits your 2015 GMC Terrain includes built-in diodes to prevents electrical feedback to the car's electrical system. You will not need separate diodes or the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732 but you may need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400. If the vehicle brake lights come on without the vehicle being on then you need the kit. You will also need Brake Light Switch Kit # RM-751439.
view full answer... - Brake Controller Parts Needed for Installing on 2012 Chevy EquinoxIf you are flat towing your 2012 Chevy Equinox behind an RV you would need a stoplight switch like the part # RM-751439. But if you are instead trying to install a brake controller like the part # 90195 you referenced for towing a trailer with the Equinox you would need to go a different route. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56094. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake...

I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will use your factory wiring in your Equinox an yet protect your electronics. I also recommend adding a battery charge line # RM-156-25 to charge your maintain your Equinox battery as you tow it so on long trips the Supplemental Braking System doesn't drain it.

In addition to the base plates and the tow bar you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643 because the coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. It looks like you will need to pull...

You will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332. GM does require removing a fuse (#32 on V6 or ABS on 4 cylinder) to help as you stated, but I recommend instead using a fuse bypass switch (# RM-76517 for 4 cylinder or # RM76511 for V6). This will allow you to simply flip a switch...

You are correct that you cannot use the factory cold side of stop light switch wire on your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox as it does not have enough voltage, so what you are going to need to do is use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires of the BCM (Body Control Module) which should be under the driver side of the dash. You will need to test each wire until you find the one that has 12v power only when the brake pedal is pressed, and connect the red wire...
