    Both my trucks are '95's. Wasn't required till I think '97. I know I don't have to have it.

    I had a go around explaining why my 1995 trailer dont have ABS to a motor carrier enforcement officer. He was down right pissed when he found out I was right.

    I've been worried about having to explain why my trailer abs lights for 2 seconds, then goes out when I use the service brake. The way I understand it is it get power from the brake light circuit when the truck is not equipped with abs..

    My wifes phone is going bat sheet too. Funny part is she is in the business side of healthcare. Not hands on care. She brought this up to higher power 2 weeks ago and they laughed at her. They ain't laughing now.

    Outside of my personal thoughts, I do agree with the importance to protect the sick and elderly. It the job your paid for and your Marketing Director should not have been the one to bring it to there attention. But I'd fire 80% of the people that work there and I'm well like at company parties with free booze. Best I stick to trucking.

    Yes, actually newer trailer use the brake light circuit because the ecu processor are faster now. But you should be able to power the center pin and energize it and avoid that flash. I would put it on a switch just because. They still will power up on the center pin for older trucks.
