There are several questions that need to be answered before I can give you an answer on the toad brake lights. First does your Jeep have a "bulb out" warning system. If it does, the use of diodes in the lighting system can cause a malfunction in this system, and therefore the use of an auxiliary bulb system like the Blue Ox BX8869 is recommended. And since your Marquis has amber turn signals, you will also need a tail light converter to change the wiring to the toad to a 4 wire system.

If the electric actuator system fails, you can remove the paper towel holder in the sewer and water service bay and gain some access to the valves through the hole behind it, but you usually need to remove the stainless steel panel to gain enough access to repair the problem which is usually a warped plastic mounting plate for the actuator motor.
As for the Howard Steering Unit. they went out of business, but Iron Horse RV in San Antonio Texas may be able to help you since they are located a few miles from where the Howard factory was located, and they installed a large number of their units.
