And this is the FIX?!?!?!?
UN-Believable!!! Towable unless you want to have a wheel dragging?
I hope somebody can furnish the "Pages."
All that said, isn't Patriot a "brake in a box" like Brake Buddy? If so, I know Brake Buddy requires pumping the toad's brakes to deplete its vacuum reserve before towing. The BB "Vantage Select" has a button we have to push to give the brake pedal five pumps before it'll go into normal operation. If I were to do the bleed, get normal operation indicator, then start the toad (creating another vacuum charge), the brakes WOULD LOCK when the BB was activated.
The light I installed will tattle on something that pushes/pulls on the Brake Pedal/Brake Linkage. I don't think the stability control pulsing the brakes will move the pedal so a light can't help there.
I added a light (LED trailer stop/tail/turn lamp) to the toad braking circuit. It gets bungeed to the mirror so I can see it through the rear window of the coach. This confirms visually when BB applies the brakes AND THAT THE BRAKES RELEASE
