A new tow board [see attached photo] fixed my coach-to-toad wiring problem: the toad left tail light is no longer lit at all times.

The newly redesigned "Tow Board, Rev. F" (CC# 13010) is plug-compatible with my old ("PC 0708.02") board - easy to swap (if you can get at the board and its connectors)!

- Connector mounts are reinforced to prevent board damage when wrestling to disconnect and reconnect the Molex connectors.

- All input and output connector signal wires are labeled on the new board - GND, 12V, LT, RT, TL, RV, BK.

- Mini-blade fuses (also labeled) are used instead of standard size blade fuses - 7.5A max. LEDs next to each fuse light when the (output) signal is active.

- The A/B selection (separate vs. combined brake/turn lights) jumper plug has been replaced by a slide switch.

For do-it-yourselfers: the new board uses "NEC/TOKIN EX2-2U1S" relays (~$5 each); the old board uses "NEC/TOKIN EP2-3N1ST" relays (~$8 each). Replacing a defective relay requires unsoldering and resoldering 10 board-mount connections - way beyond my limited soldering tools and ability! For relay data sheets, prices and sources, Google is your friend.

Danny,

After talking to Greg (@ CC tech support) and Kevin Waite, I ordered the tow board directly from the CC parts department(541-234-2167). The quoted price was $280 + s/h; a club discount may be available.
