Key Features & Benefits

This plate, it's basically a sturdy metal shield that mounts around the brake control module itself – the little box that lets you adjust trailer braking from inside the cab. It doesn’t do anything with the actual braking, it just physically protects the module from road debris, water, and general knocks. It’s a pretty simple part, really. Think of it as armor for a sensitive component. It sits between the module and everything happening underneath your vehicle. It's not part of the braking system per se, but it’s essential for keeping that system working reliably. A lot of trucks and trailers don't come with one from the factory, which is kind of surprising, but it's something owners often add later.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, that brake control module is expensive to replace. It's the brains of your trailer braking, and if it gets damaged by a rock, a splash of water, or just gets bumped, you’ll notice if your trailer brakes aren’t working right immediately. It's a pain to diagnose, and even more of a pain to fix. This plate acts like a shield, preventing that damage in the first place. It's a small investment that can save you a lot of headaches and money down the line. You can find them pretty easily, we stock a lot of different options, and places like Fixparts Online are good for checking compatibility.
