What does the Brake
Module add to my Signal® mirrors?
The
Brake Module will add a "steady on" signal to both mirrors when
the brake is activated. If a turn signal is activated, the module will
send the turn signal to the appropriate mirror while maintaining the "steady
on" signal in the opposite mirror.
Is it necessary
to have the Brake Module installed by a professional? Can I do it myself?
Muth
Mirror Systems strongly recommends professional installation of this kit.
Ideally, installers who are experienced in installing aftermarket alarm
systems, remote starters, or key-fobs should perform this installation.
This is a universal or non-model specific kit and it is impossible for
us to provide detailed installation instructions for all specific applications.
Check out the instructions here.
Where can I have
my Brake Module professionally installed?
You
can call us at 1-800-844-6616 or download our Key Installer listing from
here to help you find a
recommended professional installer in your area. It is in .PDF format
and includes key installers for each state as well as specific contacts
and phone numbers within each company.
I already have
Signal® mirrors installed. Can I have
the Brake Module installed?
If
your Signal Mirror® installation was
done aftermarket, you will need to do the following: connect the red wire
from each Signal® mirror directly to
the Brake Module. The Brake Module will require that the turn signal connections
that originally went to the Signal®
mirrors will be connected to the Brake Module input harness. If you have
OE Signal® mirrors and want to install
the Brake Module, please contact us to see if that is possible.
Note:
The Brake Module will not work with the 33-pixel design found on the 1997-8
Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer and 1998 Ford F150/250 Lariat.
I've installed
the Brake Module and now the Signal® mirror flashes out of
sync with the turn signals. Is this normal?
Yes,
on some vehicles this will happen due to the vehicle's wiring system.
How detailed are
the installation instructions? Where can I get a copy?
The
Brake Module is a universal or non-model specific kit. This means that
there are no detailed instructions for your specific model of vehicle.
It is up to the installer to determine the best circuit location to tap
into. Because of this, install times can vary greatly, and will depend
on the installer's familiarity with the specific vehicle. The Brake Module
installation instructions are found here.
What are some common
installation errors?
To
avoid causing the Brake Module to malfunction, please note the following:
- Make
sure to connect the hot wire (usually red or brown) from the Signal
Mirror® harness only to the outputs of
the Brake Module. If you connect the hot wire to the vehicle and the
Brake Module, the unit will malfunction.
- Verify
that the turn signal wires carry only the turn function and not the
brake signal too.
- If
you are unable to locate the necessary wires, run a wire from the rear
taillights to the Brake Module unit. The wires you will need are there
(turn and brake).
