Tools Required

Electrical Tester

WARNING:

USE ONLY GENUINE FACTORY REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Do NOT substitute homemade or non-typical parts. This may cause

your wireless remote indicator to fail and result in injury or death. If

repairs of parts or components of your wireless remote indicator are

needed, you may order them through your nearest Blue Ox® dealer or

distributor, or call our Customer Care Team at [phone] or toll

free at [phone].

4. Remove the transmitter from the package.

5. Use an electrical tester to determine the
cold side of the brake light wire. Attach the
transmitter wire to the cold brake light wire
in the towed vehicle using the ScotchLock
connector included.

6. Find the cold side of the brake signal wire

- under the dash, and above the brake pedal. It
is usually located behind what looks like a push
button switch that releases when the brake
pedal is pressed – activating the brake lights.
Slip the slotted end of the ScotchLok connector
around the cold side of the brake signal wire
under the dash. Insert the transmitter wire into
the partially plugged side of the ScotchLock
connector.

the dash to a  xed location (i.e. the glove
compartment or the side panel). Cut the
transmitter wire, crimp the female terminal
bullet onto the brake signal wire, and crimp the
male terminal bullet onto the transmitter wire.

8. Plug the transmitter’s power cord into the
towed vehicle’s 12-volt accessory receptacle.
 en, connect the two terminal bullets
together.

9. Attach Velcro to the back the transmitter and
a x to a convenient location in the towed
vehicle. Mount with the front side of the
transmitter (labels are on the back side) facing
the towing vehicle.
