Tow Bar with Autostop Braking System

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.

If the light is not installed the warranty is void. So, while Blue Ox may not have a problem with it, you might. The problem with the AutoStop that I had is that the mechanical surge braking did not work consistently. I repeat, it had nothing to do with the light and everything to do with the failure of the mechanical surge braking system to work effectively. It was not applying the toad brakes it was supposed to be. That idiot light rather elegantly confirmed that the toad brakes were not being applied with a supposedly properly adjusted Blue Ox AutoStop surge braking system. I guess ignorance is bliss, Blue Ox is going to tell you what they want to. I also think that one is delusional if they expect to consistently "feel" that any toad braking system is working.
