Ellen: Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're going to be taking a quick look at the pacer brake logic module. Now, this allows you to add in a third or center brake light on your trailer or your vehicle. So if you want to put this on an RV or really anything else, and you're adding in that third brake light, this allows you to do that. Basically what it does is it allows you to tap into your wiring from the factory or from maybe a four-pole wiring harness, and it'll filter out the turn signals so that you're not getting a flash on that center brake. You're only going to get the brake signal, so it only comes on when you hit the brakes, rather than coming on if the turn signals are activated.So it just is pretty simple to wire up.
You might want to watch out for putting too much power through this. Some customers have said that if you put through more than 1.5 amps, it won't work, so just keep that in mind. Will work out pretty well for most LED lights, though, since they have a pretty low power draw.There's just three wires to worry about. The green wire is what's going to actually go to your center brake light, and then you'd want to, of course, ground that brake light out. The other two wires, one is going to go to your right turn signal.
The other is going to go to your left turn signal. It doesn't really matter which wire you use. They're just there to get the signal and then filter it out so that brake signal can work. This little guy is just that kind of the brains of the operation, so you want to make sure that maybe you zip tie this off to some existing wiring or just kind of zip tie it off to something so that it's not bouncing around all over the place, but it should be pretty straightforward as far as that goes.This can be used on any kind of domestic vehicle that uses a single filament bulb. You just really want to use this any time you're using a single light as that third brake light.
So maybe again, you're adding in a LED strip to your truck or another vehicle, and adding in that third brake light function, this allow you to use that and not have it flash.As far as the size, give you some quick measurements here. We'll get about nine and a half inches of wire to work with, call it about nine of really usable length there. And the little module itself, it's just about an inch or 7/8 of an inch long and about 5/8 or maybe 3/4 of an inch in diameter. So pretty small, pretty easy to set up just about anywhere you want to.Now, if you need some butt connectors to go with this, you can find a lot of options here at etrailer.com. I would probably suggest using the pink ones.
Those will be for your smaller gauge wire, which this looks like it's about 18 gauge, so that will probably do you. If you're connecting it to anything that's a little bigger, you probably want to go with the blue, which is for 16 to 14 gauge wire, but you can find all of those here at etrailer.com to go with this install.I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is going to be the right part for you. We do have a lot of other lighting accessories and wiring here at etrailer.com for all kinds of stuff, so check it out. Thanks for watching.

This light module filters out unwanted turn signal input from tail lights to ensure your 3rd brake light activates only when brakes are applied. Required when using a single light as a third brake light.
Installed this module to make a third, high mounted stop light work on my trailer. Easy installation and good instructions.
UliN - 02/25/2021I was skeptical of this module before purchasing because I didn't know about it. Have used other brands to perform these 3rd brake wiring functions previously. Soldered it between 4-pin connector and rear tail/brake light. Simple install and works great.
PRODUCT DIDN'T WORK. I AM A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER. PRODUCT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE HEADACHE OF TRYING TO RETURN I ORDERED A TEKONSHA 2 TO 3 TAIL LIGHT CONVERTER AND USED THAT INSTEAD. THREW THIS ONE IN THE GARBAGE. MORE MONEY BUT BETTER QUALITY.
if you change your trailer lighting over to LED and have a third (center) brakelight, you need this module to make the lights work correctly. there would be a similar one factory installed, but it works only with the older incandescent type bulbs. the LED lights draw much less power and the older module is confused so if both blinker flash together along with the center brake light, get this modul. it will fix that problem
Product ordered was lost in the mail. Customer service was excellent and I received a full refund. The part then arrived the following day, almost 2 weeks after ordering. They have not indicated I would be re-invoiced, and although not a real expensive part, the fact they followed up on this matter was just great customer service. Will do business with them again. Highly recommended! The 3rd Brake Light Logic Module was just installed, and works as described. One word of caution is that if you exceed the output, ( I found it to be about 1.7 amps) the 3rd light will not work. I installed a relay, triggered by the module , that switches higher amps to the 3rd light and it works perfectly.
I used the module to install turn signals and a "third" brake light on a truck topper . It works very well, as I had hoped. The module does exactly what the site says .
RECEIVED MODULES AND THEY DO WORK WITH THE LED LIGHTS AS PROMISED
Work perfect easy directions and very easy installation. Priced right.
Works good. Has questionable reviews on a different online site but I think it’s just people who wired it incorrectly. Requires the input of both tail lights for the logic circuit to work. you need to have dual filament bulbs for tail lights, and then have a led third tail light as well. So if you don’t want to find or don’t have a constant break light wire handy easy way to tap into the factory tail lights.
Arrived early; works as described.

This is a trailer-side connector and pigtail; will use it with truck's factory trailer connector socket to power truck camper's license plate light, and also an aftermarket third eye stoplight (in conjuction with a logic module). Good quality, perfect fit.
Excellent product. Easy to install using included instructions.
One of the few things that works perfectly. Signals work without the center light coming on. Drove the to Alaska and back to California. Still working perfectly.
After one year it is still working fine
easy to install. works as described
Worked as stated, easy to install and very happy for your product.
It took me a bit of patience, but it works well. Keep in mind I am not a mechanic.
This was a very easy install. It works perfectly, I don't know why or how but I'm very happy.
