Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically takes the electrical signal from your tractor protection system – that’s the stuff that detects if a trailer wire gets broken or pulled – and “jumps” that signal to activate your trailer brakes. It’s a relay, in a way. It looks for a short in the trailer wiring, and when it finds one, it completes the circuit to apply the trailer brakes. It’s a safety feature, plain and simple. Think of it as a crucial part of your emergency brake system for the trailer. It’s specifically there for those situations where you’ve got a wiring fault – maybe a cable gets snagged or damaged on the road. Without this, that broken wire wouldn’t trigger the trailer brakes, and you’d be relying only on the tractor to stop everything. It’s usually located somewhere along the mid – skirt area of the trailer, hence the name, and it’s wired directly into the electrical system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it’s a really important piece for safety. You’ll notice if it’s gone bad because your trailer might not brake properly if a wire gets damaged. It acts like a shield, preventing a potentially dangerous situation. It’s one of those things you don’t think about until it’s not working, and then it’s a serious problem. We carry these at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking to replace yours. It’s a relatively easy fix if you’re comfortable with electrical work, and a whole lot cheaper than dealing with the consequences of trailer brake failure.
