SMI Brake Control - Coach Stop Light Switch

[Gardner Yeaw]

Curt,
Doesn't your coach have a toad connector on the back already. I
thought that was standard?

Anyway, The SMI is only sensing the presence of 12 volts and not
putting a load on it, so anywhere you get it from (brake light, toad
connector, brake switch) should be fine.

I have a toad connector on the back of my coach so that is where I
will get the signal for my SMI.
