| I just crawled under under my pod and i noticed the passenger side brake wires were pulled out of the connectors. I couldn't tell what color the wires were because of accumulated dirt and crud. What colors should the wires be and what wires go to what. Also do I Need those funny connectors on there or can I just use regular butt spices on them. Thanks. |

You can use any connector you are comfortable with, and wire color doesn't matter. It's a DC electromagnet. Current in either direction has the exact same effect. ------------- |

The wires on both sides on my brakes came out of the connectors and I can only assume it happened when I hit a huge dip in the road in Escalate Utah,and the pod actually came airborne. The wires are not long enough for this kind of thing.Everything emptied from every cabinet, what a mess! I just hooked them back up with new connectors and all is good now. ------------- http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&title=slopod-180-mods-johnsue - SLOPODMODS John&Sue,SLO,CA 2016 180 HRE, 2013 F150 Eco Boost

| Thanks for the reply's, I think I will change out the other side too. Then I can wrap them in wire loom to protect the wires. |
