INITIAL INSTALLATION

Attach the brake signal wire

continued from preceding page

nect the ground wires with a separate cable.

2d. If the towed vehicle has a taillight (“bulb and sock-

et”) wiring kit…

• Make certain that a ground connection exists be-

tween the towed vehicle and the motorhome. Other-

wise, the wiring is identical to the combined brake and

turn signal light method (2a, above).

3. Using another of the supplied spade connectors,

attach the bare end of the brake signal wire to the

output of the diode (Figure 3).

4. Route the brake signal wire through the engine

compartment, to the driver’s side of the firewall. Use

the same route as the break away wiring harness

and/or the motorhome monitor wiring harness, if that

is convenient. As before, avoid lines, hoses, moving

parts or “hot” components such as exhaust systems.

Where appropriate, use wire ties to secure the brake

signal wire in place.

5. Route the brake signal wire through the same

hole in the firewall as the break away wiring harness

and the motorhome monitor wiring harness.

6. Replace the protective loom, which you removed

in step one.

Step Four

Attach the firewall grommet;

attach the wiring connectors

1. Cut through the included firewall grommet (Fig-

ure 1) on one side, and slide it over the break away

wiring harness, the brake signal wire, and the mo-

torhome monitor wiring harness. Fit the grommet into

the 1/2" hole you drilled in the firewall. Feed the re-

maining lengths of the brake signal wire and the

break away wiring harness through the grommet.

Then, seal the grommet with a silicone sealant.

2. When the 9700 is connected and disconnected,

the 9700 wiring harness will be plugged into and out

of the connectors on the break away wiring harness

and the brake signal wire.

With this in mind, chose a suitable location for

the end of the break away harness and the end of

the brake signal wire — both connectors must be

within easy reach, but must not present an obstacle

or hazard to the driver of the vehicle, or otherwise

interfere with the operation of the vehicle.

If necessary, coil the break away harness and/

or the brake signal wire. Then, attach them at the

point you have selected, using one or more of the in-

cluded wire ties to secure them in place.

Step Five

Install the motorhome monitor LED

Note: There are two lengths of black wire in this

kit, each with a female bullet connector at one end.

Use the long length of wire in this step.

Note: Some motorhomes are manufactured with

auxiliary wires pre-strung from the rear of the motor-

home to the dashboard, for aftermarket accessories

such as this. Call the manufacturer.

1. Attach the end of the black wire with the female

bullet connector to the back of the motorhome, near

the electrical socket.

Attach the connector with one or more of the in-

cluded wire ties. Allow enough slack so that a male

bullet connector can be plugged into and out of it.

Note: In Step Two, you may have chosen to use

open terminals on the electrical sockets to connect

the monitor wiring between the two vehicles. If this

is the case, cut the female bullet connector off, and

attach the monitor wire to the open terminal on the

motorhome electrical socket.

2. Once the female bullet connector is attached,

route the wire from the back of the motorhome to the

underside of the dashboard. Avoid lines, hoses, mov-

ing parts (slideouts, sliding generators, sliding bat-

tery trays) or “hot” components such as exhaust sys-

tems. Where appropriate, use wire ties to secure the

wire to the undercarriage.

3. Chose an area on the dashboard to mount the

LED. Look for a mounting point away from pre-ex-

isting wires or components, where the LED can be
