Thread: electric brake controller

Hi I am in the process of hooking up a brake controller as I am upgrading the brakes on my boat trailer the cable brakes are a PITA and going to disc electric/hydraulic and putting drum brakes on my box trailer aswell, loaded up with my tool boxes it is well over 750kgs.

The question is can I take a feed off the brake switch as I know on some model cars you can not do this it can stuff up the cruise control.

This is on a series II disco.

The short answer is YES. The long answer is you can do this on the D2 but make sure you get the correct wire for the brake switch as one is the brake light, the other is the cruise control. Now if I can find an old thread that mentions this... found it! http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...er-wiring.html - Green/Purple wire.
