Does Brand Matter When Replacing Trailer Breakaway Switch Kit

Question:
does it matter which brand you buy to replace one
asked by: John D
Expert Reply:
Trailer breakaway systems as a whole are universal. The only issue you can sometimes see with regards to brand/manufacturer compatibility is when somebody is wanting to replace just a component from the system, such as the pin/cable by itself.
The Bright way Breakaway Switch # 3802348 that you referenced will work great as a replacement on your trailer, regardless of what brand switch you are replacing. I have attached a short video review below that you can check out as well.
