Question:
does the demco 9523010-54 light kit require a relay with a brake buddy that applies the brakes when the towing vehicle slows for a turn or stop?

Expert Reply:
It depends on whether or not the towed vehicle's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pushed when the vehicle is being towed. If yes, then you'll need to install a brake light relay with # RM-88400; that way your vehicle will act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV.
