Just got this fantastic vehicle. 04, D2, with under 50k miles, SE7, auto trans. White exterior/tan interior.
My intention is to tow my enclosed trailer with this vehicle that will need a controller to operate the *trailers electric brakes.
I have located a supplier of the 4-pin flat connector with the converter (to work with the trailer turn signals, running & brake lites), but the supplier of that converter box said that an electric brake controller screws up the vehicles electrical system!*
On previous vehicles I have owned, I simply took power via a fused supply from the battery to the controller and back to the trailer plug, and then connected via a splice into the brake lite switch circuit, and for the most part ya done.
Is this ok or should I fabricate / install an additional micro switch to trigger the brake applied activation that the brake controller needs to operate?
Any suggestions ???
Another thing, where have people placed the brake controller, the copit is a little cramped?
I have read a bunch on this site and you guys are a great help. Thanks in advance.
