What happens here
Now, connect the red coiled breakaway cable. One end of this cable securely attaches to the pin of the breakaway switch you installed on the trailer. The other end of the coiled cable features a carabiner. Clip this breakaway cable carabiner to the main safety cable that you just installed on your tow vehicle. This creates the final connection in the breakaway system. The coiled design helps prevent the cable from dragging or getting caught during normal towing operations while allowing sufficient length for turns.
Goal: Link the breakaway switch to the safety cable via the coiled breakaway cable and carabiner.
