I have hooked it up on the passenger side and drove around at different times, it works like it is supposed to, but that still does not explain why it locked the brakes up on the toad for no reason, since no brakes was applied inside the MH> Roy
What I'm saying is to hook it up and then pull apart the break away and see what happens (just like if the car broke away from the MH.) Doing the above is what I said in a prior thread of yours which seems now to prove it's not the unit itself (thus the rebuild will be for not since it appears to be working correctly.)
What you're testing now is the break away feature outside of your car. If when that safety device is activated it pushes down on the brake and holds it there, then that is a possible cause of your problem. It may have activated. The wires may have worn somewhere and are shorting to ground making the unit think it has a run-a-way toad.
Also remember when you use the brake buddy you need to pump the brakes a few times with the engine off before using the unit to dump brake pressure. Did you do that prior to when you had the issue?
