Hey John,
That's an older system and we don't carry replacement parts for it anymore. Hopkins / Brake Buddy went out of business so your best solution is to replace with a new modern system like Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional # BLU37TR.
What is going on with your Brake Buddy? I don't mind trying to help diagnose the system or flat tow system in general, just know that we cannot source replacement parts for it anymore unfortunately.
Let me know!

Don't waste your money. For first year I struggled to get it to set up. Then went into alarm within 50 miles. Finally I returned it for repair. Was told loose connection n updated software. Worked for several trips then started going into alarm within a few miles. Returned it again. Was told no problem found. Updated software. Haven't used it since return. Also had to build cradle in front of seat on a Honda n now a jeep wrangler. Very unhappy. Very over priced.
