摘要

A tow harness (50) is provided that that spans between connectors (24) of respective towing and towed vehicles. The tow harness includes a first end that mates with the connector of the tow vehicle and includes a first jumper (52) for completing a brake control circuit between a brake of the tow vehicle and a brake signal source of the tow vehicle. A second end mates with the connector of the towed vehicle and includes a second jumper (54) that completes the brake control circuit between the brake signal source of the towing vehicle and a brake of the towed vehicle. In other embodiments a brake system includes an electric brake that includes inputs for a brake control signal. A brake controller (26) receives power from a battery (45) and generates the brake control signal. An electrical connector includes signal terminals connected to the brake control signal and power terminals connected to the battery (45).
