Question:
I am installing a Redarc Tow Pro controller on my 2020 VW Tiguan SE and cannot locate a way to connect to the brake wire on the vehicle. Are there any instructions or tips on locating the brake switch or wire to complete the installation of the controller?

Expert Reply:
I was not able to find any information on the exact wiring location but I do have some tips to help you. You can follow the brake pedal to find the brake switch and use the Test Light # PTW2993 to find the correct wire.
In the event the wiring is hidden or to small to make a good connection you can use the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000 to give you your brake signal. This will attach to the brake pedal shaft and allow you to install your Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller # RED52VR.
