Was hoping I can call on any experiece with a 5 pin wiring harness. I have a 4 Pin and ordered the 4 to 5 pin harness to operate the actuator to release the surge brakes when backing up.
It comes with an extra blue wire that I am supposed to splice into my reverse light to operate the brake release. I am concerned that the vehicle light module will not like this jenky set up and throw an error light. Does anyone have any experience doing this? I really don't like interfacing "adapters" but outside using the manual "key" to disable the brakes when backing down the ramp, I'm not sure what else to do. What if I am trailering and need to back up on the road? Jumping out in potential traffic to insert the key sounds like a bad idea and real possibility.
