1992 WB40 Spare wire from front to back?

1992 WB40 Spare wire from front to back?
If it was just the coach brake signal that I needed that would
work. However, the US Gear Unified Tow Brake system has a
controller that sits on the dash of the coach and has a momentim
switch that detects the coach is decelarating. When it detects that
the coach is slowing and that the coach brake has been applied, it
starts to send a signal to the toad brake system to apply the brakes
at the same rate as the coach. So the US Gear is a progressive and
proportional system, so I can not just tie into the brake signal as
the signal from the controller increases in voltage as more brake is
needed to control the brakes in the toad.

I was hoping there was a spare wire or two like in my old coach that
I could use without having to run one. But it is not looking that
way. So guess I get to crawl under the coach this weekend and fix
the genset hoses, and while there run the wire Smile
