Can Trailer's Breakaway Battery Switch Have Power From Battery and Trailer Wiring Ran to It
Published 03/24/2020
Question:
Just ordered sitch kit from you. Looks like my old switch is powered from the breakaway battery and the auxiliary wire from my plug that hooks to the truck. Will this hurt anything by having two power sources to the switch
