? about braking indicator light.
I have seen on here where some folks have a light (I take it is in the toad vehicle) that they use to let them know when the toad brakes are applied. This sounds like a good idea to me. So this is wha...

Go to this Ready Brake Link and scroll down to the "In-Dash Light Monitor." It is about half way down.
Buy that.
Wire it like they say, fused/switched wire from the fuse box to light in dash, then to the connector at the rear, then to ground.
Then get one of these 12v relays. Wire pins 85 and 86 to your toad's brake light wire and ground. Run a wire from pins 30 and 87 to the front of your toad and install the matching connector for your "In-Dash Light Monitor." (Do not use pin 87A.) Make a 3 or 4 foot long, removable, extension with connectors on both ends to run from the RV to the toad.
Now, whenever the toad's brake pedal is pressed, by anything, for any reason, a warning light comes on in your RV dashboard.
I have mine wired that way, and it works like a friggin' charm.
A lot of the systems don't indicate the toad's brakes are applied. They indicate the auxiliary brake was activated. Those are not the same thing. My Ready Brake light was designed to hook to the Ready Brake, but I wanted it hooked to the toad's brakes instead.
