Toad Lights

[krminyl@...]

Hi Greg,

You'll most likely get feedback voltage back into the toad's electrical
system, and that can be very costly repair with today's complex computer systems
in the newer cars. It can sometimes be avoided by using diodes (direct DC
current in only one direction), but it seems like most people don't like to take
the chance of killing their car's computers.

I read a post at least a year ago where a forum member suggested using a
toggle switch disconnecting the circuit to the car's electrical system when
using the toad behind the BB...sounded like a simple and positive fix to any
feedback problem...switch flipped one way for towed vehicle, flip it the other
way when driving the toad...something to consider...(I went the "add a bulb" and
direct wire system with our Grand Cherokee...if I was going to do it again,
I'd make a "light bar" that plugs into the toad's trailer hitch...Curt did
this with his Bronco).

Good luck...
