I added a wireless repeater to the Jeep’s brake light switch so that I could see exactly when my Jeep was applying its brakes. Works a treat in about 3000 miles so far.
I was paranoid, so I installed a brake disconnect switch under the hood on the Jeep. We've only towed it a couple hundred miles so far. I made a towing checklist, which works great... when I follow it! The last trip I didn't, and forgot to leave the ignition switch in the proper position. I drove about 100 yards and knew something was wrong... The transmission wasn't disengaged! STUPID ME! I'll never make THAT mistake again!😳
