Is my Ready Brake Always on going downhill?
We went to Yosemite last week going up 120 through Groveland and our little Tracker pulled like a charm. On the way back down the (New) Old Priest Grade I was able to have the Motor Home in 2nd and it...

Will,
I thank you for your ideas and precautionary advice. And, I do understand the issues that could happen if, a short were to occur. I guess I'm just one of those guys that doesn't worry about things like that. When I do my work, I set it up so the possibility of a short, i.e. cut wire, chaffing, dangling, tight stretches or corners, little to no protection for exposed wires, etc. are all taken into account when I do the work. Nobodies perfect, and I certainly don't claim to be. I just have always taken maximum precautions in all my wiring jobs.
You, and I, and many others out there, have seen "shawdy" wiring jobs time and time again, and, even from "Companies" that were paid big dollars for their work. That system I described and, the answer to multiple issues, has worked flawlessly for over 7 years without so much as a hiccup.
But, I also certainly understand that newer and more modern vehicles have more complicated wiring systems, i.e. "Can-Buss" systems that absolutely cannot be wired using my method. And, if and when I encounter those, I will then move to a "Plug and Play" type alternative. Thanks again for your concern, it is duly legitimate.
