Ellen: Hey, everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're going to be taking a look at the Demco Solenoid Kit. This is going to allow you to use the Solenoid to bypass your brake signal whenever you go into reverse. So, it connects into your vehicle's wiring to detect that signal. So, as you're trying to back up with your trailer, the brakes aren't going to engage and prevent you from making those moves. A lot of times, whenever you have the brake actuator put in your trailer, or put on the front of your trailer, it's going to prevent any kind of movement since it's going to sense that backing up motion.So, let's take a look at what comes in the kit.
This is pretty much everything you need to get this installed. You will need a couple of tools, including a 1032nd. 1032 tap and a 532nd-inch drill bit to make some modification to your brake actuator. It's pretty straightforward, but it does require a little bit of drilling to get this installed. So we get our Solenoid, the fittings to go on our configuration here.
Does also come with some instructions to help us get everything installed. Pretty straightforward. It is designed for use with the Demco DA10, the DA20 and the DA91 hydraulic brake actuators. Again, it is a bypass configuration. So, it's going to bypass that reverse signal and help you to get your trailer to back up without any issues from your brake actuator.
That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Demco Solenoid Kit. I hope this video has been helpful. Thanks for watching.

Backup valve installs in trailer brake actuators with high psi ratings and wires into your tow vehicle so that the trailer brakes do not activate when you shift your tow vehicle into reverse.My trailer came with a different brand solenoid that kept failing year after year once my trailer reached about 5 yrs in age. This other solenoid did not have a wired ground so the failure was most likely due to corrosion. The wired ground on the Demco allows you to get a good ground on the exterior of the trailer. The Demco solenoid worked the first time I tried it this spring after sitting outside over the winter.
Working as designed to do. Seems if you don’t use often they freeze for some reason. I now keep a battery and leads close by to activate solenoid daily as this is third unit.
A lot of communication during this sale. Vendor sent me detailed messages throughout the shipping process from manufacturer to distributor to him. I never had to ask, "where is my stuff?"
Good pricing too. So I've bookmarked their site as a one of my trailer parts go-to places for future needs.
Good people.
This reverse lockout solenoid works. the directions for installation are difficult .the picture on the directions are not of this product. The solenoid did not have the in and out ports marked, then the wires are not in the same place as the one in the picture so trying to determine which port is which by comparison is impossible. I had to connect the solenoid a couple of different configurations to see which was the right way. I would not recommend this product to others.
Received item quickly, price was right. This is the third solenoid for my 2 year old trailer, only change the body part, magnets good.
Very easy to install and wire onto the trailer. Thanks for the quick delivery!
Worked as expected, thanks
Easy to mount. Strange it doesn't come with a shield like the other two kits do. Will have to make one to protect the solenoid.
Excellent service by phone.
Just what I needed, and great service
FAIR PRICING, FAST SHIPPING.
Everything worked out perfectly. Thanks
Service and selection was great.

It is working, I still activate it daily. I’m converting to EOH.
