A trailer brake switch allows the driver to manually activate the trailer's electric brakes independently of the vehicle's brakes. When the switch is pressed or slid, it sends an electrical signal through the vehicle's wiring harness to the trailer's brake system. This signal energizes electromagnets in the trailer's brakes, causing the brake shoes to press against the drums (or pads against rotors), slowing the trailer. The switch is often part of a brake controller, which can adjust the braking force to match the trailer's load and road conditions.
The switch provides additional control when towing, such as reducing trailer sway or stopping the trailer without overusing the vehicle's brakes. Many systems also integrate automatic braking, where the trailer brakes activate when the vehicle brakes are applied. Advanced features include proportional braking, which adjusts force based on deceleration, and breakaway systems that stop the trailer if it detaches. This setup ensures safer and more stable towing.
