Trailer Brake Lights

Does anyone know if your trailer brake can be wired so that if you pull it in an emergency, your brake lights will go on without engaging the truck brake pedal? After a recent incident, my wife could not reach brake pedal or the flashers, she grabbed steering wheel and slowed RV down w/the manual trailer brake, but we found out later that the brake lights do not come on. Can this be modified? Thanks for any info.

My brake lights come on when you manually engage the trailer brakes. It's that way on all the controllers I've used. You may not be hooked up correctly. I just checked my truck (5er not hooked up right now) and when I move the manual slider, brake lights come on.

Can you get it to a shop to have it checked?

BTW - glad to hear that your wife was able to control the rig, keep the incident from getting worse!
