Question:

Is there a way to reset the brakes on my RV? The Breakaway safety switch was caught on something and pulled out, the plunger is still there an intact and irie plugged it back in but it is still not reading on my trailer brake inside the vehicle. And it is only my RV since I have towed other vehicles with it. Your thoughts? Do I need to take it back into the dealership to have something reset? It is a 2016 Jayco Baja flight.. thank you!

Put the pin back in and check the wiring of the switch to make sure nothing was damaged. Nothing should be reset but the switch could have been damaged or the wiring as well.

For a replacement switch though we have the Hopkins kit part # HM20059 which would work well as a replacement.
