Add-a-Brake Wiring Problem

bilcol81 Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Posts: 15	We tow a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and use the Roadmaster add-a-brake. Everything works fine except one morning we were leaving early enough that we needed to use the MH headlights. To my shock I discovered that turning on the MH lights activated the brake. With my limited electrical knowledge I believe the wiring is right but there's obviously a problem. Any ideas? Thanks __________________

Or you have a short between two circuits and they both activate. __________________ Retired RV Technician Travlin the West Winnebago Outlook, Victory Vision, Silverado 3500, Dog ,Wife ( not in that order)
