Question:
I have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Neptune, Class A Motorhome. It does have a 7 pin plug at the rear of the coach. All the contacts are correct and working except for the trailer brake blue wire terminal. I do not believe the motorhome has ever had a brake controller installed. I read the information that was given for another model of a H.R. the Endeavor It stated that the connector plug should be in the compartment next to the drivers seat. I have removed the cover and gone through all of the wires and can not find anything that has a connector with a blue wire or 3 wires and a blue wire. I have also looked under the dash on the drivers side and found nothing as well. Do you have any other ideas? Or do I need to start from the rear and run a new wire?

Expert Reply:
You checked everywhere the brake controller install harness should have been if it was present. Your best option would be to make the hardwire connections instead. You could run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) from the 7-way up to the front of the vehicle. Then for running the power and ground wire up to the vehicle battery we have the double bonded wire set part # 10-2-1 which you could use for power and ground. You'll want a 40 amp breaker as well like # 9510.
The Brake EVN # TK63VR is a really great option as well that is proportional and very reliable!
