Thanks for your question Kelley. Yes, the # 3802348 can work as a replacement breakaway switch for your Brake Buddy Classic. These are pretty straightforward mechanisms so while this may not be a brand specific replacement, it will function the same if installed correctly. One thing to note is the original breakaway system Hopkins 39303 attaches to the main unit using alligator or banana clips so you will likely have to source those from something like an electrical supply store and add them into the breakaway wiring.
What are you flat-towing with your Brake Buddy Classic?
