Solution for Needing New Power Cables for Brake Buddy 3
Updated 11/17/2025 | Published 12/11/2024
Question:
I have the Brake Buddy 3 Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional Part Number: HM39524. The connectors, both to my truck and to the braking system are lose and I need to do a lot of wiggling to make a connection. At times, it will disconnect while towing, setting off my dash alert system. What can I do to fix this? I currently try bungies that help sometimes or a base plate to secure the connector to the truck. I bought the system in early 2019 I believe and flat tow my 2012 Toyota 4Runnermodified drive shaft.
