Typical Installation
Installation & Operation Instructions for
Warner Electric Brake System Resistor
1. The purpose of the System resistor is to allow
synchronization of trailer brakes with the towing
vehicle’s brakes. When properly adjusted each
brake system should do its own share of work.
The towing vehicle should not be stopping the
trailer and the trailer should not be stopping the
towing vehicle.
2. Select a suitable area in the engine
compartment. Mark the location for mounting
screws and drill (2) 3/16" holes. Position the
resistor and insert and tighten the two screws
to secure the unit in place.
3. Connect the resistor in series with the brake
control and power supply per the diagram.
4. Be careful when routing wires around hot or
sharp surfaces. Clamp wires to prevent
chaffing. A grounded or shorted wire would
make trailer brakes inoperable and could cause
damage to other wiring.
5. To increase braking power, loosen the thumb
screw and move slide toward “more trailer
brake”. To decrease braking power, move the
slide toward “less trailer brake”.
