Oh yeah, interestingly enough, I had to back off the brake cable some when I did my first test run. had it so tight it was barely enough to turn on the brake lamps(Jeep).
93, this may be a problem for you. If your jeep brake pedal is activating your jeep brake lights you may be back feeding your MH lights and cancelling your turn signal lights.
I tow a 2000 Cherokee with a gas Dolphin. When I first hooked everything up I checked all the lights, tail, brake & turn, while in my driveway. Everything worked perfect. What would happen once I was driving was the ReadyBrake would pull on the jeep brake pedal, like it's suppose to, and activate the brake lights on the jeep via the jeeps brake light switch. This would cause the turn signals on the jeep & the MH to stop blinking even though I was getting a blinking light on the MH dash. To check if this is happening on your system turn on the blinker in the MH and push on the jeep brake pedal while someone checks your MH & jeep lights. I added an on/off switch under the jeep dash to kill the power to the jeep brake light switch while I'm towing.
