• Replacement Solenoid and Breakaway Switch for Roadmaster BrakeMaster Systems
  We do have the 3-Way Mac valve solenoid for the BrakeMaster braking systems which does sound like the issue. It is # RM-450420. For the switch you can use any breakaway switch such as # HM20010 as an example because all it does is complete a circuit once the pin is pulled.

• BreakAway Kit for RoadMaster BrakeMaster 9000 System
  Certain models of the Brakemaster 9000 Series included a break away system. If there is not one with the unit you purchased, it will need to be added separately. I recommend the RoadMaster BrakeAway Kit # RM-8600. This kit is designed to work with the BrakeMaster supplemental braking system and will work to bring your towed vehicle to a stop in the event of a separation.

• Is a Supplemental Braking System and Breakaway Required for Flat Towing in the United States
  Yes, pretty much all states (with the exception of Missouri for some reason) and Canadian provinces require that a towed vehicle have a supplemental braking system and most all supplemental braking systems come with a breakaway unit. The most economical is the BrakeMaster # RM-9160 which works with RVs that have air brakes or air over hydraulic braking systems. Otherwise I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. In either case these are proportional systems that apply the same...

• What Would Cause Roadmaster Brakemaster Kit to Drain Vehicle Battery
  The problem is definitely the breakaway pin being pulled out. When that's pulled it allows current to pass through it to push the brakes. Have you tried replacing that to see if the problem persists or goes away? Your fuse holder and fuse seem to be in good working order and would not need to be replaced.

• Does Reservoir of RoadMaster BrakeAway Kit for BrakeMaster Have Specific Mounting Location
  It is definitely a smart idea to use the BrakeAway Kit # RM-8600 with your Roadmaster BrakeMaster for RVs w/ Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9100 although there is not necessarily a recommended spot we can offer to install the reservoir in a 2016 Ford C-Max. We have not had a chance to install this specific part in this specific vehicle, but I took a look at the owner's manual and since the air lines do need to be two feet away from a heat source like the engine, your best bet is...

• Does a Vehicle Being Flat Towed Need a Breakaway System
  When flat towing a vehicle the supplemental braking system being used will have a specific breakaway switch that goes with it. Supplemental braking is required by law in most states so if you are not using one you will want to look into getting one. The breakaway switches will not work with vehicle brakes directly because they are hydraulic and the switches work with electric systems. If you have a braking system, let me know which one it is and I can explain how a breakaway system gets...

• Recommended Base Plates and Components for 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with Adaptive Cruise Control
  For your 2018 Ford Edge Titanium there is only one base plate kit confirmed to work with the Adaptive Cruise Control. It is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2667 which will then require the adapter # RM-031 which works on Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 14,500. If the serial number on your tow bar is 14,501 or above, then the adapter # RM-031-5 is the correct fit. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Towing Combo Kit #...

• Supplemental Braking System That Operates Off of Motorhome Air Brakes
  It sounds like you are describing the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System for RVs w/ Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9100.

It also comes with an LED display that mounts in your motorhome so you know exactly when the brake pedal on your towed vehicle is being pressed. You will need to use...

  Whether you have the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System for RVs with Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9060 or the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160 you need to keep your breakaway system install on the Jeep Wrangler if you plan on still flat towing that vehicle.
