Evenbrake taillight setup for Subaru Outback
The 2003 Itasca 27 MH I bought came with a Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain towbar and an Evenbrake unit, but nothing else to go on the toad. So I bought the correct cross-bar and base-plate attachment...

Proceeding with this installation....I was able to get the power connections to the ICX unit, but I'm having difficulty reaching the cold side of the brake light switch which needs to be connected to the ICX. It's way up in there and I'd prefer to not take the dash apart....
A previous post pointed out that the appropriate wires coming off the switch are the yellow and brown ones which I see (there are four wires total coming from that switch). But rather than trial and error, does anyone know which of these two might be the cold side of the switch?
But I was thinking that it might just be easier to tap into the brake light wire on the trailer wire harness I have on the Subaru (and is inside the vehicle, except when towing). Would involve a longer wire run from the back of the vehicle, but would sure be easier to access!
And one more issue....the Evenbrake manual says to plug the unit into a cigarette-lighter type plug that is at least 15 amps. But it seems mine are just 10 amps! Has anyone had any fuse blowing issues with this unit because of this problem, or are they just allowing lots of over-head for safety (my fuse didn't blow during the test cycle...)? The alternative, of course, is to buy another 15 amp adapter they sell to wire in....!
