Question:
Installing a - Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional Item # RED44FR in a 2021 Subaru Outback. Where do you hook up the Brake light trigger wire coming from control Box?? I read this can cause issues if not hooked up correctly

Expert Reply:
During the installation of the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR, the red wire you're referencing goes to the brake light switch on the back of the brake pedal. You will need a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to confirm which wire corresponds to that wire when the brake pedal is pressed.
I've also linked an installation video of a RedArc Tow Pro Elite on an older Subaru but the process and setup behind the pedal should be fairly close.
