It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

Hi Don, Based off the measurements of your current equalizer being 5 5/8" center to center, I wouldn't recommend using the MORryde CRE3000 because it's over an inch longer than your current equalizer. Having an equalizer that's…
Hi Jim, the honest answer is that there isn’t a direct replacement or rebuild kit still available for the TDE LP8000, so the right path forward is to replace the entire actuator, which typically means cutting the old one off and installing a new…
When aligning tandem axles you simply want to make sure you are aligning them so they are square to the trailer frame. The easiest way to do this is with a simple measurement from the center of the trailer frame to the to the center of the wheel on…
While I was unable to confirm who manufacturers the Defender 2 brake away system on your 2021 Big Tex 60EC. I do agree that the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit #3802346 does look identical minus the decal and they have the same wiring…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…

Trailer Breakaway Kit with Top Load and LED Indicator
Quick checks are simple with the LED indicator, and the top load design lets you get the battery in and out without fuss. A sturdy box that replaces weathered units and keeps wiring tidy, it helps make maintenance easy on your trailer.
Connect one breakaway switch wire to the blue wire from the box and the other to the brake output circuit; the switch wires are not polarity specific. White goes to ground and red goes to the trailer battery charge line circuit. If the lid hits the electronics when tying two wires to the battery + post, splice the 2 wires into 1 lead to help the lid close properly.
These kits are described as good and sturdy with easy installation, and mounting lugs noted as well built. Top-load access makes checks and battery swaps straightforward. UV can be hard on exposed boxes over time, so consider placement that limits sun exposure and inspect the housing periodically.
For a single or tandem axle, a 5 amp hour breakaway battery is typically used. For triple axle applications you'll need the 10 amp hour battery to ensure each brake assembly is getting enough power to last for 15 minutes on full power in the event of a breakaway. You can still go with the higher capacity 10 amp battery if you want more reserve.
Yes, with 12V power running to the connector, the built-in charger will do a fine job and prevents overcharging. If the trailer sits for months without 12V feed, use a maintainer or slow charge to help avoid the battery going dead. Verify your charge line is on the correct circuit if the battery isn't charging.
