RoadMaster Stop Light Switch Kit
This product was exactly what I needed. I wanted an indicator light that told me when the brake pedal moved on my towed vehicle, not when my brake system was activated. This part fit perfectly on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler sport. Others with newer wranglers reported having to notch bracket but there was no need for that on a 2014. I wired mine a little differently than the instructions show and there was no need to tap into the wiring on my Jeep. My indicator light recieved constant power from my coach, when the brake is pushed it completes the circuit with a ground from the coach and the light comes on. I feel confident that if there is a problem and my brakes are activated when they shouldn’t be I will be aware of this before it causes damage to the toad brakes. Great product
There was a challenge presented when installing the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch (Kit #751452) on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited. The kit's Black C Bracket was not able to swing around fully to allow the kit's gray stop switch to be in line with the brake pedal. This was due to blockage caused by existing jeep's stop switch gray mounting bracket. As a result, I had to cut a notch using a Dremel and a grinding bit. The area where I had the interference from the jeep's bracket and the notch to allow proper installation is indicated in the attached photo. It is imperative that the kit's stop light switch when mounted correctly is fully depressed. If not, 12 volts will be sent to the Evenbrake's transmitter which will result in an alarm and failure to use the Evenbrake system. Also in reference to the Roadmaster installation instructions, there is no removable lower plastic cover. Installation requires twisting ones body under the dashboard with limited use of my left arm (I am right handed) to use tools. I ordered the stop switch from etrailer.com. I am using a Roadmaster Evenbrake system. I do want to state a clarification concerning the battery based on what I read in etrailer's and other forums. You do not have to disconnect the jeep battery on the 2015 Wrangler Sport Unlimited Model. Jeep made a change in the second edition of the 2014 operators manual which is reflected in the 2015 manual. The earlier 2014 edition did state the disconnecting of the battery before towing. I had informed the Roadmaster tech department of this change. The 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited steering column does not lock. You do not have to leave the key in ignition. You can remove it when ready to tow. My 2015 jeep has the power convenience group. The vehicle has two 12 volt convenience outlets. One is only powered on when the ignition switch is on. The other outlet is connected directly to the battery via a fuse. It is on all the time. This is the outlet I use for the Evenbrake. Now, Jeep does state not to plug in devices that use more than 13 amps or 160 watts. Roadmaster as per their installation manual indicates that the maximum draw of the Evenbrake is 10.8 amps. I reviewed all the above to the Roadmaster tech department and they said I should not have a problem using the Jeep's always on 12 volt outlet. We recently went on a camping trip on Columbus Day weekend to a campground 120 miles from the house and no power problems were encountered with the Evenbrake system. One other clarification is that the Jeep's brake lights are tied into the power convenience/electronics system. The brake lights will operate for a short period of time after the ignition is turned off and/or you open the jeep's door. Use of the brake lights will time out. This is the primary reason why I chose the stop light switch bracket kit. The Roadmaster Evenbrake transmitter and the hot leg to the kit's stop light switch are fed from a dedicated 10 amp fuse protected line from the battery. This way, I avoided drilling a hole into the weather resistant under the hood fuse box plus negating the need to make rube goldberg connections to existing fuses.

etrailer’s installation video was very helpful. However, the mounting bracket holes on either end seem to be the same size (the video and instructions state that the switch fits into only one end but for me it fit into both). Consequently, it is not clear which side of the bracket to use for the switch vs the vehicle stud. One other installation hint, perhaps unique to the Wrangler Rubicon or Wranglers with upgraded audio/Uconnect, there is an electronic module (3”x4”), mounted to the dash framework behind the lower dash panel, that must be dismounted in order to allow access to the bracket mounting location (see photo).

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Fiat
Installation was tight on the Fiat 500 but the instructions were right on. No issues since installation. It's performing well.
Perfect, and the followup by etrailer second to none. It is nice to have their expertise in your corner.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Installed it on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. I had bend the bracket slightly to ensure the button was pressed evenly. Otherwise, works as it should.
The product itself is great, but I’m missing a part that I ordered.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Easy to install. This product is a lifesaver! My JGC WK did not have the tow package installed, so it had no connection for an EBC. This product gave me the stoplight switch connection I needed! It took about 20 minutes to install and adjust. Thanks!
Every thing needed was included. You need to be a bit of a contortionist but if this 75 year old can install it you can.

Demco SBS Air Pressure Stop Light Switch Kit for Towed Vehicles - Air Force One
I bought this kit to add to the Denco automatic braking system, that I installed on my Jeep. It is used to trigger a signal on my Demco wireless break monitor so that I am positive that the braking system is functioning.
Just finished installing the SMI AF1 on a 2012 Tiffin Phaeton and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. While it took me substantially longer than the pro's, I found it straightforward to install and well documented, between SMI's video and etrailer's video. The brake system itself seems to me to be both well designed and well made. So far, it works just as advertised.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV. I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.
Stoplight switch kit was easy to install. All contents needed was supplied.
