  5. Where do I find wiring instructions

    I purchased this kit and installed the hubs, where do I find instructions for wiring.

    1 answer

    1. Wiring instructions are not included with the product because it depends on the specific brake controller. So the customer has to wire based on their specific brake controller configuration making sure that the same color coded wire used on the positive and negative on the right side is wired the same on the left side.
