Blue Ox brake system 2015 GMC terrain
Purchased a Blue Ox portable brake syatem fro Hitch Source. The unit requires a 12volt power source. When discussing the purchase with the a person at Hitch Source he said the the 2015 Terrain had no listed limits other than the removal of a fuse.
Purchased the unit, ran a charge wire to the car battery since the sales person explained that the internal battery on the Blue Ox unit had little reserve an was a last resort type of thing in case the car battery ran down. Fair enough. No other problems I was told.
First test hook up I found that with the fuse bypassed and the key in the acc (recommended position) position there is no power to the 12v plugs that might power the brake unit.
Called Hitch source tech help "let me call you back" waited three days and called again. tec guy said that there is no way they can know all the ways that various car are set up and you'll need to run a plug direct from the battery.
Brand new car first response from dealer is not sure that won't effect warantee. need to get power through fire wall on and on.
Right now the unit is a $999.00 paper weight. Anyone towing a terrain witha blue ox brake system.? Am I missing somthing? I guess I could connect the charge line direct to a 12v plug but my idea was to make a clean hook up.
Thanks any info
