This is a safety concern regarding the emergency breakaway switch, to engage the electric brakes upon a hitch disconnect senerio. I understand the breakaway switch is to be powered directly from the onboard battery with no fuses or disconnects. I found my disconnect switch is powered through the AUX power connection of the 7 pin wire harness, and it is both fused and behind the disconnect switch.
