Are you sure about that? Connected into the brake system? Do you mean the
hydraulic system? I know that some controllers *do* connect into the
hydraulic system, which can be problematic depending on your tow
vehicle. But, I don't see how to determine that from the original
post. My Tekonsha (a 1990 model), for example, is activated by the
brake-light circuit, and uses a pendulum as an accelerometer to determine
how much brake current to apply.
