Brakes

I have a 1999 Chevy Suburban that I want to hook up a brake box for electric trailer brakes. I am not sure where to hook the wire up that is supposed to go to the truck brakes electrical system.

Re: Brakes

If you just need an electrical signal for "brakes on" then the brake light circuit will do it.

Re: Brakes

That is my problem, where is the brake light circuit? Anything at the pedal is not reachable.

Re: Brakes

For a trailer circuit, you're looking at the back end of the car. Tail lights are an excellent place to start.
