WARNING
When the installation is complete, verify that the
brake pedal retracts fully.
Unless they are installed correctly, the bracket and/
or other kit components may restrict or impede the
movement of the brake pedal — the brake pedal will
not retract fully.
If the brake pedal does not retract fully, the brakes
will be applied continuously, which may cause severe
tire and/or brake system damage, as well as other consequential, non-warranty damage.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause property damage, personal injury or even death.

nstall this kit if the brake lights do not function when the
ignition is turned to the “tow” position, or if the vehicle is
equipped with a “retained accessory power” feature — with
this feature, the vehicle’s electronics continue to function
normally for about ten minutes after the ignition key is
turned off. Then the electronics will no longer function,
which shuts off power to the stop light switch.
Install the stop light switch
1. Thread the first adjusting nut (Figure A) through the
threaded portion of the stop light switch, with the open side
of the nut facing the terminals on the stop light switch.
2. Slide the threaded side of the stop light switch through
the bracket.
3. Thread the second adjusting nut through the threaded
portion of the stop light switch, with the open side of the
nut facing the white plunger on the stop light switch. (Do

adjusting nuts until the white plunger at the end of the
stop light switch is completely depressed.
CAUTION
The stop light switch must be installed as directed
above…
• The plunger must be completely depressed against
the brake arm. Otherwise, it may cause a false brake
light signal at the monitor.
• The brake arm must be fully retracted when the stop
light switch is installed. If it is not, the brake pedal
may depress the towed vehicle’s brakes continuously,
which will cause excessive brake wear, brake system
damage or other consequential, non-warranty damage.
6. Using the included spade connectors, connect the red
and green wires to the stop light switch terminals (Figure
A).
7. For Even Brake only — connect the green wire to the
terminal marked “1” on the Even Brake ICX transmitter
