Hey David, thanks for stopping in! So as long as your truck uses 12V then you can use any brake controller like # 90195 and tap into your stop light circuit, which your truck should be equipped with.

If there is anything else you need help with, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hey David, how did things go with tapping into the stop light circuit for your semi truck’s brake controller? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a similar system.
