sg47619 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have a 01 Monaco Dynasty that I’m trying to wire a 7 way plug to pull my car trailer. Does anyone know where I can find the brake wire for this plug. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito.a Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately, you're going to have to install a trailer brake controller up front and run a brake wire to the rear of the coach (unless a previous owner already has). Monaco started trailer brake prewiring around the 2005-2006 model years. Edited June 22, 2022 by vito.a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2003 Holiday Rambler had an open harness with brake light being one of the wires. My invisibrake in the tow vehicle activates the brakes based on that brake light. You may just need to splice into your brake light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito.a Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This is a link to a thread on trailer brake wiring I started back in 2017. Hope it helps. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/trailer-brake-control-prewire-2004-signature-366077.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr4Film Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I hauled a 30-foot Pace Cargo Trailer all the time we were on the road Full-Time RVing in our 02 Windsor. So I had to do all of the wiring myself to install a Tekonsha Brake Controller. Luckily I had Rex Darley (RIP) help me at the time. Here is what you have to do. The biggest job is to run a 10 gauge 50 foot Blue wire from the drivers area to the rear engine compartment where the 7-Way Connector is or will be located. The second largest job will be finding the negative brake signal then turning it into a positive brake signal using a relay. My negative brake signal was located in a small box up in the Front Run Bay aka FRB labeled Monaco Box #2. Finally, the easiest part is locating a 12 VDC positive and negative source for the brake controller. Once you have those four important wires then you are ready to wire up the brake controller. Make sure that the 7-way connector is wired correctly with the location of each wire as shown on the 7-way wire chart.

sg47619 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Thanks, will it all be the same for a 01 Monaco Dynasty Jack 38 with a 350 Cummins Diesel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Steven, the only way to tell is to see if you have a small Monaco #2 box in the FRB. If so, then remove the Grey plug to read what the writing is on the wires. Specifically the one where you see the blue wire tap in the photo I posted.

StephenW Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I have the same FRB that you have. I recently found a copy of the 2001 Electrical Wiring diagrams for 2001 Dynasty's. If you are looking for this information you can search this forum for "2003 Owners Manuals" by myrontruex. He included a link for his information which includes a file for 2001 Dynasty. The file is titled A 2001 Dynasty... Thank you again Myron T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
