A switching device for a braking system of a trailer is disclosed. The braking system is powered by a battery. The switching device includes a body that is mountable to a location on the trailer, and a circuit, which may be housed in the body. The circuit is 5 switchable between an enabling state for enabling electrical current through an electrical path between the battery and the braking system to thereby power the braking system, and a non-enabling state in which electrical current is prevented from flowing though said electrical path. The braking system may also include a separable actuator wherein in the event of a first condition, in which the actuator is separated from the 10 body, the circuit is configured into the enabling state, and wherein in the event of a second condition, in which the actuator is connected with the body, the circuit is configured into the non-enabling state. In the event of a third condition, in which the circuit is in the enabling state and then at least one further criterion is met, the switching device may configure the circuit into the non-enabling state. The battery may be 15 included in the trailer, and power at least one device other than the braking system. Towing Vehicle FIG. 11Q~l9Vh
