invsibrake question

I have an invsibrake system installed on my coach. I have had it for about a year and a half. It has worked properly until recently. Everything seems to be working correctly except the light on the dash does not always light up when I apply the coach brakes. I have checked and the brakes on the tow vehicle move when the coach brakes are applied and I can here the compressor running on the invisibrake controller under the seat. One thing I can do is push my tow vehicle brake another two - three inches by hand. So my thought is maybe the brake cable needs tightening a little. Has anyone had a similar problem?

  • On my invisibrake, the light doesn't come on until the coach brakes or pac brake has been on for 7 seconds. It doesn't come on immediately with brake application
  • Sounds to me like you may have a pinched wire in your harness. We had a similar situation on our trip to Fla this year. DH noticed that our dash light wasn't lighting when the coach braked. We stopped and checked, sure enough no braking going on in the toad. We were pretty sure the coach and the Jeep were not the problem. Checked the wiring connection and sure enough, found a pinch in the wire from where the Roadmaster folded up and had pinched it previously. We bought another wire harness at the Camping World we stopped at and used that in place of the original. We were good to go! Give yours a very close inspection.
