Balking Brake Buddy
I set up my Brake Buddy as I always have, and today after installing it...I had to touch the test button several times for the TEST to take place, and when it did....it would not reset itself, unless ...

I wrote Brake Buddy and response was that the newer vehicles do not carry proper amperage...which causes BB to shut down. Requests that I need a 'battery direct kit'...guess I will go back to my alligator clamps that I used on my '98 to keep from having to turn key to accessory. At least now I know...thanks for your opinions-right on track!!!
Thankful that it is not the unit itself.......whew!!
Before you do that plug it in and try ALL your cig lighter outlets.
My SUV has 3 cig lighters and only one would run the Brake Buddy. The other 2 did not. So some cars still have 'one' that is full power.
And I also found out you had to really push it in new openings seem to be tighter/narrower so the tip of the Brake Buddy doesn't make good contact.
