Happy to help.
Might see if the installer left you the instructions. If not...it's a good thing to download and print...to keep in your black bag.
I installed my system...so I read thru the instructions a half-dozen times. But if someone else did the installation...they may have missed telling you a couple of things. The light being one. They also tell you how to do a breakaway test. After connecting the toad...run the coach and apply the coach brakes a few times. This is a good opportunity to see if you have the LEDs facing well enough to see in the camera display. Then shut the coach off...the brake application charges the air accumulator in the AF1 box. Next...have a helper pull the disconnect pin, while you view the brake pedal of the toad for actuation. Make sure to plug the breakaway pin back in when finished. Not something you have to do all the time. But it's a good systems test...to make sure everything works...and a confidence builder. The pin is plastic. I wound up ordering a spare to have incase it breaks during a trip.
Enjoy towing! I love how easy it is to tow our Jeep. And it all fits in a bag, we leave in the back floorboard. Nothing to move to the floorboard and connect to the brake each time. It all stays in place hidden pretty much from view.
