Question:
I ran a direct hot wire from the battery to the brake buddy by cutting the cigarette lighter end off and wiring a quick connection because the power of the vehicle turns off after 10 minutes, but now the compressor powers up but brake buddy wont turn on

Expert Reply:
The Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System, # HM39494 comes with the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit, # BB54FR. This should be used when installing the Supplemental Braking System, # HM39494. There's good chance the fuse for your power port socket is blown. Please note the linked installation video below.
