Nak - wish list still has an ARB front for me. I've still got stock bumpers. If you've not run your trailer wiring thru a converter, that may be why you are having issues. YOu can't just go from the Kaymar wires on their harness directly to your trailer plug. You do have to use a converter. Took me awhile to figure that out after staring at the wiring diagram from the 7-pin plug and the wires into and out of the Hoppy converter I'd pulled out. Are you running a 4-pin or 7-pin setup. With a popup sounds like maybe only a 4-pin? I had to pay close attention to the wiring diagram/color coding on the 7-pin set up as the wires coming out of the Hoppy converter were different colors than the color coding on the 7-pin plug. I had to go by the description of what the plug needed in each color location.

Rick - You've obviously solved your issues in a very ingenious way. Congrats. I have to wonder if still having your converter plugged into the LC wiring harness instead of the pigtail leads from the Kaymar wiring harness has anything to do with the problems you had. Sounds like both Nak and I moved the converter (if Nak has the converter in there) from the standard wiring harness location to the Kaymar wiring harness. You wouldn't think that would be an issue, but perhaps it is.

I'll know more this weekend after a 800 mile round trip with the trailer. Will be using the brakes alot over the grapevine and the mountain roads!
