Roadmaster Flat Tow Brake System - RM-751439
Highlights
- Confirms Brakes Are Working Right: Activates your RV’s monitor whenever the toad’s pedal is pressed
- Prevents Costly Brake Damage: Stops a mis-set braking system from holding the pedal down and wearing tires
- Keeps You Alert in the RV: Lets you instantly see when the toad brake pedal is actually being applied
- Reliable 12-Volt Connection: Wires into the fuse box for a steady signal every time you tow
- Made for Flat Towing Setups: Ensures your supplemental braking system performs as intended
Features to know about
Know Exactly When Your Brakes Are Working: Direct Pedal Activation for True Feedback
When you’re towing, guessing if your toad’s brakes are engaging isn’t good enough. This Stop Light Switch Kit wires directly into the fuse box to deliver a constant 12-volt signal whenever the brake pedal is actually pressed. That means your motorhome’s monitor shows real brake activity—not just when a cylinder extends. It’s the surest way to confirm your supplemental braking system is doing its job every time you hit the pedal.
Protect Your Vehicle from Hidden Brake Damage: Prevents Continuous Brake Pressure
Improperly adjusted supplemental systems can hold the brake pedal down even when they shouldn’t, causing tire wear and brake damage. This kit prevents that problem by verifying when the pedal itself is being pressed and released. You’ll know instantly if something’s wrong and can stop before damage occurs. It’s cheap insurance for your towed vehicle’s tires and braking system.
Simplifies Setup When There’s No “Tow” Ignition Position: Constant Current Connection
Some cars don’t have a dedicated tow position in the ignition, which can make power management tricky. The Stop Light Switch Kit solves that by wiring into the fuse box for a dependable 12-volt feed. Once installed, your braking system and monitor will always have the steady current they need to operate correctly—no extra switches or ignition tricks required.
Built for Reliable Performance: Quality Fit and Straightforward Installation
Roadmaster designed this kit specifically for consistent, long-term use. The components fit cleanly under the dash, and installation is straightforward with clear instructions that walk you through connection points. Reviewers say it works perfectly once in place and integrates seamlessly with braking systems like the Even Brake. It’s a solid, one-time install that keeps your setup safe and predictable for every trip.

What You Need to Flat Tow
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.

Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company.
I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies).
Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company.
Thanks for your follow-up!

The stop light switch kit is performing as expected. The installation is a little more difficult than what is shown. I ended up installing the switch to the bracket and then installing the bracket to the car. I have not replaced the cover-up panel under the dash installed in the car at the factory as it was damaged when removing it.

I'am in the process of setting up my 2017 Equinox to tow behind our motorhome. I've placed 4-orders with etrailer. So far I've installed the base plate, the wiring from the rear tail lights to the front end.I also received my Tow bar and the quick release parts. my next project is to install the invisi brake system. I want to send Kudos to Cathy T for her help and her great customer service. I'am also thanking James A for his quick response to a question about the wiring harness. I'am extremely happy with the quality of everything I ordered at etrailer. Thanks

This switch was a perfect fit for my 2017 Equinox. I followed the instructions on the etrailer video and it worked just perfect. It is much better than trying to find the brake switch wire in the vehicle wire bundle like I did for my previous vehicle. Kudos on the great videos available to help with installation.

Very easy installation with directions provided. On the Chevrolet Equinox this Stop Light Switch eliminates the need to install a relay. It will operate the brake lights in my Even Brake 9400 supplementary braking system. I recommend this Kit to make your supplementary braking system work.

- Can a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox AWD Be Flat TowedHey Roger, I checked the owner's manual and it looks like you will be fine to flat tow your AWD Equinox. They only harp on AWD vehicles being towed with only two wheels on the ground, but it was actually recommended to tow the AWD models with all four wheels on the ground. So with that being said if you're interested in a complete setup you're going to need: A base plate kit, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523160-5, A wiring kit, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire...

For this system, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1689 along with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This comes with the safety chains needed. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will use diodes to allow you to utilize your factory wiring for a clean look. You will also need the...

Since you upgraded to the 2015 Terrain these parts will actually stay the same so you will just need to get another EZ Base Plate Kit # 523163-1.

Some vehicles might need to be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed. To flat tow your 2012 GMC Terrain you will need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Also, the Discrete Logic Ignition Switch fuse (fuse #32) needs...

I checked it online and on page 266 it states that front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models can be flat towed! So that is a step in the right direction. You will also want to look through that section of your owner's manual for the procedures required to flat tow your 2017 GMC Terrain. The...

Now if you hit 66 miles per hour for a few seconds when towing is the car going to immediately be damaged? Probably not, but to be on the safe side since transmission repairs aren't cheap I'd recommend sticking with 65 as the max. For flat towing your Equinox, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1689 along with the Blue Ox Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount...
view full answer... - Location of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2017 Chevrolet EquinoxThe 2017 Chevrolet Equinox has a brake pedal sensor which makes it difficult to locate and use the stop light switch to install our # ETBC7 kit. You'll need to access the BCM (body control module) under the dash which will likely be near the driver's left knee. You'll want to use a circuit tester like # 3808 to confirm you have the correct wire that only shows power when the brake pedal is pressed. Another option is to create your own stop light switch using # RM-751439. The kit is...

You will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332. GM does require removing a fuse (#32 on V6 or ABS on 4 cylinder) to help as you stated, but I recommend instead using a fuse bypass switch (# RM-76517 for 4 cylinder or # RM76511 for V6).
