Hopkins 47275 Brake Control Installation Review

Reading other reviews I bought an extra primary wire and had to finish the wiring. Also, I didn't use the included ATO fuse and used a stud mount Bussman circuit breaker like this one. Installation.

Does what it's supposed to. Pretty tricky to install, but it totally depends on what car you're plugging in and where you're running the wires.

Butt connectors will eventually break and corrode the wire if left uncovered, and they just aren't as strong as a solder joint.
