Abstract
A towed vehicle brake actuation system comprising an adjustable inertia activated switch and a relay in series and a radio transmitter, all in the towing vehicle where an electrical signal must pass through both the switch and the relay before the towed vehicle brake actuation system is actuated. When the switch and a brake light switch in the towing vehicle are both activated, an electric current passes to the radio transmitter which sends a signal to a radio receiver in a towed vehicle which activates a first towed vehicle relay that permits current to pass on to a towed vehicle adjustable inertia activated switch which upon actuation by towed vehicle deceleration permits current to pass through a second towed vehicle relay to a vacuum valve that is a part of the towed vehicle brake actuation system.
