tyates007 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Any help with installing Hayes brake controller on my 2000 T2000. In the Volvo I tied into the air line that was behind the instrument cluster. I did a search and found a thread but it appears to not be available any longer. Which air line do I tap into? Which wire would I tap for brake light switch? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark and Dale Bruss Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The Hayes installs like the MaxBrake and BrakeSmart. And where else to look besides the Resource Guide.

tyates007 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks Mark. I checked the resource guide. I did not see a Kenworth the first time as I was browsing on my phone. Found it now. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I used a BrakeSmart in my T2000 until I switched my trailer to the BluDot system, which also required a connection to the air brake circuit. The pressure transducer (or the fitting for your tap line, if the Hayes is laid out differently) will screw into a port in the stop lamp switch, which is located under your instrument panel, on the driver's side. They didn't publish T2000-specific instructions, but I was able to figure out what I was looking for and install mine with the help of these instructions: http://www.patriotperformance.com/pdf/peterbilt330.pdf Phil 2002 Teton Royal Aspen 2003 Kenworth T2000 - Cat C12 380/430 1450/1650, FreedomLine, 3.36 - TOTO . . . he's not in Kansas anymore.

alan0043 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi Everyone, I have a question on the install of the Hayes controller. Does the controller need to have a 20 amp circuit breaker ? I say a video from etrailer and they talked about installing a 20 amp circuit breaker with the controller.

peety3 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Could (would?) you hook a Hayes controller to the trailer service line (or gladhand)? You'd need to cap the supply/emergency line, obviously, but you'd gain use of the johnson bar that way, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecting it at the stop lamp switch, as in the BrakeSmart directions that I linked to, will enable the actuation of the trailer brakes via the Johnson bar. That -- and the fact that the stop lamp switch is in close proximity to where he'll likely install the brake controller -- are what make it such a desirable location to tap the system.
