Hey there Mohan. The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs #e37YR you were looking at already has an idler hub on it which is not setup for brakes. You would need to replace the axle with something like…
Hey Scott! I recommend using the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS381-8067. Hydrastar is a reliable, proven brand so it will serve you well. Then for brake lines you can use the Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit -…
Hello Brady, thanks for reaching out. The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin #FA80-01-2204 will work with breakaways from Fastway and Bargman. I don't have a complete list of all the part numbers but it should work with any…
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…
Hey Jeff. We have all of those parts, and I have listed them below, but no there is no one and done kit for a 20' farm trailer's brakes and lights. 7-Way Connector and Junction Box - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long item…
The correct way to wire your breakaway battery, like the Hopkins Engager #20400, is to have the black wire from the battery connected to the 12V power on your trailer, and then the blue wire to your breakaway switch which, in turn, connects to the…
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…
Hey Trevor! You don't need to add a trailer battery to use the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack #e72QV. The jack has its own 7-way plug that connects directly to your tow vehicle for power, so it is a really nice option for an enclosed trailer like…
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…
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…
That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
The Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS481-8067 is designed to be completely plug-and-play so the female end of the 7-way would need to connect to the 7-way cable that's already installed on the trailer…

Trailer Breakaway Kit with 5 Ah and LED Indicator
Ready for dependable safety, these kits include a led indicator. 5 Ah capacity provides power for emergency braking, including electric-over-hydraulic systems. The led indicator keeps status easy to see during setup and checks.
Review the correct wiring diagram carefully and match by wire function, not color. Some setups add an extra control wire for light flashing; connect it to running lights if required. If two leads land on the battery positive and the lid won't close, splice them into a single lead to clear the cover.
Reset the system after testing and be mindful if it triggers flashing when the 7-way is unplugged, as that can drain the battery. Consider where you mount it so alerts are noticeable. If the breakaway battery shares power with interior lights, add a diode to help prevent backfeeding.
Yes, a 5 Ah battery can provide enough power to actuate an electric over hydraulic system. Confirm your actuator's draw and test by pulling the breakaway pin. Keep the battery charged; an LED indicator helps verify status before trips.
It lets you push-to-test the battery and confirm the breakaway circuit is working. If the kit includes a light-flashing feature, an extra lead may need to tie into the running lights—verify this in the diagram. If lights don't flash during a test, recheck that connection.
