Ready Brake Elite System and Brake Lights

On the 2013 CR-V you leave the key in the accessory position.

Appreciate the replies so far.

I believe my 09 CRVs lit up with key off. I used magnetic lights on the roof from the motorhome plug anyways.

Dennis,
If I'm reading your answer right, I'm not sure you're answering the OP correctly. I certainly could be wrong here (imagine that)but, I think he's asking if the toads brake pedal, when applied by the Ready Brake, will activate the CRVs brake lights. If that's his question, that would be something he'd have to check for sure, on his car, to make certain they are, or are not, activated by the CRV brake pedal with the key in the "Off" position.

Some cars activate the brake lights with the key off and some don't. I used to think all of them did but, that theory went down the tubes fast. All of my 7 Jeeps I towed activated the jeeps tail lights if, there was an auxiliary braking system in the Jeep when we towed it. Most of the time, way back then, I had no braking system when I towed all of them.

But, our present toad, an '11 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab 4x4, does NOT activate the brake lights with our Ready Brake when the key is off. So, that made it really nice for wiring it up to use the stock tail lights as toad lights when towing. Not sure if any of this helps the OP or not. Good luck.

The toad's brake lights operate in conjunction with the brake lights on the coach...if you use the toad's lighting system, diodes are necessary to prevent backfeeding into the toad's electrical system. To avoid this, you can add separate light bulbs in the toad's tail light housings and make the system independent....easily done either way and can be done in less than an hour with common tools....Dennis
