Wiring: Please ensure that a fuse is fitted in the Blue Wire (Brake).
The Brake Controller has four (4) coloured wires, black, red, blue and white. The black wire is the positive voltage power
supply line. The red brake wire powers up the electronic circuit of the unit and must be connected to the cold side of the brake
light switch. The blue brake wire must be connected directly to the trailer brake wire. The white ground wire is connected to a
grounded metal part of the dash,vehicle fire wall or directly to the negative battery terminal.
Important: A brake control unit that is not properly grounded may operate intermittently or not at all.
• Make sure all connections are secure.
• Do not connect the Black “BATTERY” wire to the fuse panel or tie into any accessory wiring.
Connecting to the existing wiring may damage the vehicles wiring and cause trailer brake failure.
• Do not reverse Black “BATTERY” wire and White “GROUND” connections.
Even a momentary incorrect connection can damage the brake control unit.
