Note: A breakaway system is required by law in most states for trailers that are equipped with electric brakes and have a GTW of at least 3,000 lbs.


Quick Tips:

  • When you store your trailer, be sure to keep the pin plugged into the breakaway switch. If the pin's removed for an extended period of time, dirt and moisture can get into the switch and cause corrosion that could keep it from activating when you need it.
  • A breakaway system needs to be able to apply the trailer brakes fully for at least 15 minutes. In general, the heavier your trailer, the higher amperage battery you'll need for the breakaway.

  • Can Breakaway Kit Pull Power Off of Regular 12V Trailer Battery
    You have to have a breakaway battery kit like the Curt # C52028 for the breakaway brake function on your trailer.

If you were to use the same battery for your breakaway kit and other things then...

This should be the wire connected to the pin in the 11 O'clock position on your trailer's 7-Way connector (see attached picture). You can test this out by connecting your trailer...

  • Will Trailer Break Away System Show Power On Blue Wire With Trailer Unplugged
    The breakaway system uses a normally open switch, so power won't be delivered to the trailer brakes unless the switch is pulled. The power is delivered by an on-board battery. You'll only see power on the wire from the switch to the battery, not on the other leg of the switch unless the pin has been pulled which closes the circuit from the battery to the trailer brakes. With the trailer unplugged from the tow vehicle, you won't see any power on the black wire which is used to receive a...
