They do NOT require installation of the light. The light is purely "informative" to the driver of the rig and that information is purely that an electrical circuit is working. It is NOT the electrical circuit that actuates the toad brakes - it is a mechanical surge. That light is no more important than the light that is installed on a coach that has any other braking system - those provide information as well and that info is that the feedback circuit is working. Feedback is nice but it is not the same circuit in those systems that activates the toad brake just like the AutoStop is not driven by ANY electrical circuit. The mechanics of AutoBrake and Ready Brake is 'surge' - a purely mechanical driver. As I mentioned before, better feedback than a light that is either "on" or "off" without discriminating the degree of braking - a better feedback is the coach driver's feel.
As I said, I'm glad your 'tempermental' comment had to do with electrical circuitry that had zero to do with the effectiveness of the brake. And yes, I did have Blue Ox install the Auto Stop and no, I did not have them install the idiot light and they had no problem with that. I just don't need to be distracted by another dash light which may short out with the first rain storm or wash job.
