Today we're going to be taking a look at Roadmaster's line of custom stoplight switch kits. You'll want to refer to our fit guide for the appropriate switch kit for your vehicle.Here on our motor home we have our indicator light that's connected to our stoplight switch. When this light illuminates, we know that our braking system that is installed is applying the brake pedal in our towed vehicle. And we're going to get this signal thanks to our stoplight switch. Here when I hit the brake in our motor home, the light's illuminated so I know that our braking system is working properly.This stoplight switch is going to provide you with an additional brake stop signal. This is important if you're flat towing a vehicle that doesn't have a brake signal when in tow mode.
Without a signal you'll have no way of monitoring whether or not your brake pedal is being depressed. You can use this stoplight switch to connect to the indicator that comes with your supplemental braking system so you can verify for sure that your brake pedal's being depressed when you hit the brakes in your motor home.In most instances it'll be well hidden or blend in with the rest of the wiring down below so you won't even notice it. Here you can barely even glimpse the switch itself. And the kit comes with everything you need to get it installed. This includes the switch, the wiring, the fuse and the custom bracket that's specifically made for it to mount right onto your vehicle.
The bracket's really what makes it custom for your vehicle. It allows the switch to mount seamlessly and easily adjusts to the contour of your brake pedal.A less common use is for a brake controller. If your vehicle doesn't have a compatible brake signal for your brake controller then you can install one of these and get that signal for your brake controller to easily hook up to your trailer.And that completes our look at Roadmaster's line of custom stoplight switch kits.

Works great, kind of finicky on adjusting. Works well. 734068
This product is good quality overall. Installation is tough. I've got big arms and big hands and trying to get the bracket on the stud is all but impossible. Tip: wire the switch BEFORE installing the bracket and switch. Adjusting the switch is equally as difficult. Otherwise, it is a straight forward install. 690804
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). 608335

Nice item at very fair price! 721363
Kayla’s was very helpful in identifying the parts needed for my Jeep, Roadmaster flat tow project and followed up with an email to confirm delivery was made. Thank you. 715381
The item was purchased specifically for a 2018 Rubicon JLU. Here are the flaws: 1. The bracket holes are the same size yet the instructions state use the larger hole for the switch side. A micrometer confirmed such. The angle and length of each bracket end varies slightly so you have to struggle with placing the switch on each bracket end and test for fit and switch adjustment parameters. Roadmaster could easily mark the appropriate end and assisted the customer. 2. The wires provided are to short for a proper fit specifically from the battery to the switch. Its a confined space and room to work with a short lead on the switch and a short power wire. Had to use a longer wire run and trim off once the power wire was routed and through the firewall. 3. Roadmaster knows the fuse terminal connection provided will not work in the JL yet provides it verses providing an inline blade fuse holder. That means a trip to the auto parts store since the kit in incomplete for a fuse holder and don't forget to have on hand the proper length of power wire to complete the installation. 4. There is also an electronic component which obstructs (behind the trim panel)accesses not described or illustrated in the installation instructions/video. It has to be moved to gain proper access. Not a big deal but there are 4 delicate plugs to remove so be cautious. Overall-The bracket is solid and engineered so that the switch aligns with a metal tab on the brake pedal. Dissatisfied with the accompanying accessories-Roadmaster really short changed the customer with these components. 611225
This was a great choice, no longer needing a relay or cutting into factory wiring 606917
