Brake breakaway cable

[09grizzly1]

The break-a-way switch cable is designed to be pushed back into the switch-just make sure it's bottomed out when pushed in.You won't have any problems with this.When I work on electric brakes,I pull the cable out to make sure the brake-a-way system is working properly,then push the cable end back into the switch with no problems occuring.

Thanks 09 grizzly! The only other problem I have had is to get the tv and Xm radio to play on speakers I have tried all the inputs on the Genisis tuner and no sound ?thoughts?

TV input is AV2 (be sure to use AV, not AU). Speaker button A should be your inside speakers. B is our bedroom speakers and C is outside. Can you give more detail about what you have tried?

We have a 2012 Rockwood 8314BSS and the battery disconnect is located at the top of panel where the light switches are located by the door. It is a push/pull button.

If the breakaway cable is still activated, your problem now will be no 12v, power. The breakaway cable activates the brakes by utilizing the power from the 12v. battery to apply brake power at "full brake" (as if you were standing on the brake pedel)!

This applys an immediate stopping power to the TT axle brakes, but it draws the power from the battery quicker than the converter can replenish it, if you are plugged in.

Every season, it seems, we see a posting from a newbie camper who tried to use their brakeaway cable to secure the TT, rather than wheel chocks. A dead battery is the LEAST of the damaging thibgs that occurs. What's worse, is that it can also burn-up the electro-magnets that acticates the brakes, leading to a reatively expensive repair. (The parts are relatively cheap, but the dealers kill you on the installation, as the wheels, bearing packs, and brakes all need to be pulled apart.)
