Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically connects the emergency brake lever inside your vehicle to the trailer brakes themselves. It's a mechanical link. When you pull that lever, it pulls on this cable, activating the trailer's brakes. It’s a simple system, really. Some also allow for manual application of the brakes, like if you need a little extra stopping power going downhill. They’re typically spring – loaded, so they automatically retract when you release the lever. Think of it as the direct line of communication from you, the driver, to the trailer’s braking system. It’s part of what gives you that extra layer of control and safety when towing. It's used on many different trailer setups, especially older or simpler ones. Newer systems are more likely to be electric over hydraulic, but these coiled cables are still very common.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without a working coiled cable, your emergency trailer brake isn't going to work. That's obviously a pretty big deal when you're towing something heavy. If it starts to fray, stretch, or get stuck, it won't properly activate the trailer brakes when you need them. You’ll notice if it's struggling because the lever might feel mushy, or it might not return to its normal position easily. It’s a crucial safety component, so you want to keep it in good shape. You can find replacements pretty easily – we often stock them here, and sites like Fixparts Online carry a good range too. It’s an inexpensive part, but replacing it can prevent a much bigger, more expensive – and dangerous – problem down the road.
