Making Brake Stoplight Switch Connection When Installing Brake Controller 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser

Question:

It is difficult to locate the brake switch wire on the brake pedal in a Toyota. Can I take a wire from the brake controller back to the brake light on the four plug connector and run the wire the length of the car with the black power and blue connection to the brake controller?

Expert Reply:

When the brake stoplight switch is difficult to access, it is acceptable to locate the signal further down the line. You will want to make sure that you are using the circuit that ONLY goes hot when the brake pedal is pressed. I would recommend accessing the brake light circuit behind one of the taillight assemblies.
