Can you explain a little more detail about the JL lights turning off after a few minutes and how this helps with the brake lights.There are all the wiring diagrams for the JL's on the electronics area of the forum. I printed out the wiring diagram for the brake system and discovered that there's 3 wires in the brake system. Not as simple as the JK with it's single wire. I asked a question on the electronics section and learned that the brake switch on the JL is tied into the anti-lock brake system as it senses the amount of force applied to the pedal. Cutting one of those wires to install the relay would have been very bad - if you don't get anything else out of this post, don't cut the wires to the brake switch.
I did more research as I wanted to know how I could avoid having the JL's brake lights override the turn signal from the RV with the wiring harness I added. I learned (from etrailer.com and other members here) that the lights on the JL turn off after a few minutes and are not an issue. That was good to know, so that means no relay needed.
Any questions, fire away.
I am looking at a similar setup as yours. As I understand when the RV turns signal are on and you step on the brakes the turn signals get over overridden on the Wrangler. How come no relay is needed?
Thanks
