Hey Adam! To add a reverse lockout to your Demco DA86 Trailer Brake Actuator # DM98CV you need the Reverse Lockout Solenoid Kit # DM5836. This comes with the solenoid as well as the housing. Depending on your setup, you may need to run some additional wiring or add a 5-way/7-way to connect to the reverse light circuit.
What kind of trailer are you working on?
