Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement switch for the Curt Softrack One and Softrack Two Trailer Breakaway kits. Now a breakaway system will activate your trailer's electric brakes if the trailer disconnects from the two vehicle. This part here is the breakaway switch, this will replace the switch that came with your breakaway kit. This part here is designed to work with the Curt Softrack One, which is part number C52040 or C52041 and also the Curt Softrack Two, part number C52028 or C52026 Breakaway Kits. All those kits we do sell separately on our website.Now this will include the cable and the pull pin. If you notice the breakaway switch is on this weldable, high temperature metal mounting tab.
Does use silver contact points. It's all in a nylon case and the pull pin. Now basically the breakaway switch will install on your trailer frame. The wiring right here would wire into the rest of the wiring on the trailer, and then you'll have this cable that connects to the pin. Your pin's right here and there's your cable.
The other end of this cable right here is what would connect to your two vehicle so that if the trailer and the two vehicle ever disconnect, it'll pull that cable, which will then pull that pin out and that'll activate the brakes and bring your trailer to an eventual stop.But that should do it for the review on the replacement switch for the Curt Softrack One and Softrack Two Trailer Breakaway kits.

Replaces the switch that came with your Curt trailer breakway kit. This switch signals your breakaway kit to activate your trailer's electric brakes in the event that your trailer accidently separates from your tow vehicle.I ordered two items, and soon after, received an update that my delivery date was about a month out. Shortly after that, I received a message from George J stating that one of the items was on back order, and if I liked, they could send the other item right away. I have an upcoming camping trip and the non back-ordered item, the one I most wanted, was the one that was available. Still, I thought that with the shipping issues I am dealing with for clients as a general contractor, the item would still not arrive in time for the trip. To my pleasant surprise, today I received an email from Carol C letting me know that my shipment had been delivered. I expected the one item, but ended up finding both had arrived. The camping trip is this weekend, so because of great service, I have the new products in plenty of time! Thank You, Greg
I selected this breakaway safety switch since it appeared to be dimensionally similar to the original one. I completely replaced the brake system (electrical and mechanical) on our 2013 travel trailer, and discovered during measured testing that the original switch contacts were no longer functioning as required. I've installed the new switch, and it was indeed identical to the original OEM unit. The only reasons that I didn't give it 5 stars is that (1) the plating on the metal frame appears that it will be prone to rust excessively just as the original one, and (2) there's no instructions provided on how to effectively (and safely) shorten the pull cable so that it won't hang down too low yet not be too tight and causing an unwanted trailer brake activation.
Applied breakaway switch to wire loop bolt, due to mounting bolt for base plate of switch was sheared off due to rust. Wires attached to original wiring and shrink-wrapped. Will not know if it works until I have a near disaster!!!
Exact replacement. Hardest part was refitting the quick connects that came with my trailer. All done in 10 minutes. Meter (voltage) test plug in/out -- good. Road test -- good.
The bracket on my old switch was rotting away, which in the event of a break away would deem useless. This was a very cost effective replacement and came with everything necessary.
Went to 4 local trailer dealers/manufacture facilities looking for battery box and breakaway kit. All I found was box/battery/switch/tester unit for [3 times the price], found etrailer.com and found exactly what I was looking for, [price] bucks and the items are quality.
Perfect fit
As this is an emergency product, I have not tried it out. The shipment time on the order was very slow but the product was what I ordered
Quality product at fair price. Replaced Oem part with no modifications.
This is the standard I use on all my trailers. I have never had an issue with one of these, except the time I ran over the "key" with my lawn mower and chewed it up. That was an easy replacement from another trailer because they are all alike.
I've been using this with my brake away on my horse trailer for over a year and it has held up very nicely. I've had no problems and am very happy with this product.
I've ordered from etrailer previously and have always gotten good service at good prices. Very satisfied, once again. I also appreciate the videos that etrailer provides as assistance for those of us who always need assistance! I'm sure I'll be back again when I need rv parts.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THE PRODUCTS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM E TRAILER . PRICES ARE GOOD & IF YOU NEED HELP WITH ANYTHING WRONG OR MISSING THE STAFF GETS RIGHT ON IT.
THANK YOU
Easy to install and fits the trailer very well
Exact replacement for my trailer and great product, thanks for following up
I already had a battery in my trailer for a winch. This is all i needed to have a functional breakaway system. Easy install, 1 wire to 12V+ 1 wire to brakes
Very nice switch, easy to install.
This product replaced one that was not in stock. Thanks for the quick follow up and replacement. I needed it to get my Toad back behind the MH.
Same product as the old factory module
Fast delivery and excellent people to work with
