Question:

Ive got a 2011 international 8600 transtar with abs. How do you go about wiring the blue wire in for electric brakes when the blue wire is already being used for abs to the trailer from the truck . Thank You

Expert Reply:

Since you are going to be wiring for a 7-Way Blade # C58155 style connector you are going to run a separate blue wire from the Brake Controller # HA100400C to this connector. The 7-Pin # R7CB connector you have on your 2011 International 8600 Transtar is designed to be used on trailers which have air brakes and uses the wiring differently. I have linked a image with the different functions shown for the different connectors and you can see they have some of the same functions but may are different.

Please let me know if you need further help for the different connector or if you have a different setup.
