1992 WB40 Spare wire from front to back?
Thanks for the note.

I have it on pin 1 on the 7 pin connector. Aux (battery) is pin 4,
and toad brake signal is on pin 2. I am using the center pin to tie
into the brake controller in the TOAD to send a signal back to the
coach that I will use to illuminate a light on the dash to tell me
the TOAD brakes are on.

I used 14 gauge for the BATT wire which I will replace with 10 gauge
when I get a chance to pick some up and replace it.
