Question:

I have a 1970 Chevy C10, with a 7 pin already in place. What must the 7 pin have to have wired in order for the Echo to work right... Thanks

Expert Reply:

The 7-way on your 1970 Chevy C10 would need to have functional lighting circuits and a 12-V power feed from the battery ran through a 40 amp circuit breaker in order to operate the Curt # C51180 Echo Brake Controller. If you don't already have the 12-V feed in place, you can connect a length of 10 ga wire like # 10-1-1 from the terminal on the 7-way that feeds the pin in the 1:00 position. You'd run the circuit through a # 9510 Circuit breaker installed near the battery.
