Installed an LED light in the dash. It illuminates when the ReadyBrake engages. Took me three hours to get this little guy in! Not a record though. I usually triple the time estimate and double the money on my jobs!
This is the last job on my list except for the A/C issue.

A light that illuminates when the toad's brakes are engaged is a smart addition.
Toad brakes occasionally have issues that cause the brakes to drag, when not activated.
Toads have burned to the ground caused by dragging brakes.
I usually wire the dash brake light directly to the toad's brake light, adding a diode if necessary.
Many modern vehicles, our Jeep included, have timed electrical systems that shut off within a few minutes from when the engine is turned off. The brake lights also lose power at this time, so a different way of monitoring the toad's brakes is needed.
For the Jeep, I used a Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit Item # RM-751000. The device attaches to the brake pedal and senses the movement of the pedal using an infrared sensor. It works fine once calibrated.
