1992 WB40 Spare wire from front to back?

[mbrund]

Thanks for the note.

I have it on pin 1 on the 7 pin connector. Aux (battery) is pin 4,
and toad brake signal is on pin 2. I am using the center pin to tie
into the brake controller in the TOAD to send a signal back to the
coach that I will use to illuminate a light on the dash to tell me
the TOAD brakes are on.

I used 14 gauge for the BATT wire which I will replace with 10 gauge
when I get a chance to pick some up and replace it.

Well as luck would have it, I took the front nose panel off where
all the relays and fuses are and I saw two wires that where in
convoluted tubing and has a hand written label that said 'run to
back' I jumped under the coach out back and sure enough there they
where. I ohmed them to verify and sure enough. So some kind sole
before me had already done the hard work So I just need to hook
it to the controller in the coach now.

Also I needed to run 12 volt from the engine batteries to TOAD to
charge the battery. I was having a hard time finding a wire in the
engine bay that was only hot when the ignition was on so I could put
it to a relay so the wire to the toad battery is only hot when the
coach ignition was on. Then I looked up and remembered the rear
coach ignition box, so I removed the screws and determined that the
center post on one side of the front/off/rear switch is hot only
when the front or rear ignition switch is on. So I tapped into that
and ran it to the relay, so now I have a hot AUX going to the toad
only when the ignition is on.
