• Left Turn Signal on Trailer Will Not Blink but All Other Lights Work
  This sounds like a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion free bare...

• After Replacing Trailer Side 4-Way Wishbone Harness with Non-Wishbone, Running Lights Dont Work
  The issue is likely in how the 2 brown wires are connected and then connected to the single brown from the new 4-Way. You basically need to make the 2 running light wires into one and then butt connect to the single brown. You could use the Quick Fix, # HMC20031, twist the two running light wires together and then put the newly combined wire in place. Or you could go ahead and swap the 4-Way for a wishbone, # A20WB. There also could have been a short that fried the lights when the original...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Lights When Some Are Not Working
  First, you will want to test the trailer connector on your vehicle with a tester like part # PTW2993. I have attached a link to a video that explains how to test the vehicle wiring. Most likely, the culprit is a loose, corroded, or broken ground. You will want to check the trailer connector for any signs of corrosion or damage and then check each of the lights to make sure they have secure grounds, and the wires have not been damaged. If you find that the problem is on the vehicle side,...

• Why Would 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 7-Way Short Out While Towing
  You didn't say which fuse is burning up so it's hard to say. But most likely it's the 12 volt accessory circuit for the 7-way you have at the rear of your truck. Either the circuit is getting overloaded by the accessories you have wired to this circuit on your trailer or there is a short somewhere on this circuit that is causing the fuse to blow. Check the circuit for cut or exposed wire and fix as necessary as that is most likely the problem. Another possibility is that corrosion on the...

• 4-Pole Trailer Connector Wire Color Codes
  I'm not certain what you're asking. If you're speaking of a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, the white wire is the ground connection, the brown wire carries the running light circuit, the green wire carries the right turn/brake lamp circuit and the yellow wire carries the left turn/brake lamp circuit. If that's not what you were needing, please let me know. I'll also link to some helpful articles about trailer wiring.

• What Parts Needed to Convert 4-Pole Connector on Tow Dolly to Match Motorhome Connector
  If your tow dolly uses a 4-pole trailer connector this means it has only stop/turn/taillights, but not electric brakes. If your Class A motor home uses a connector like # 37995 you can simply wire in the trailer-side part of this item in place of your existing 4-pole. This will provide a more reliable long-term connection than an adapter. Adapters are definitely convenient, but the additional contacts they introduce can cause connection issues if corrosion or contaminants get in. Wiring...

• Does 4-Way to 6-Way Adapter A10-6034VP Carry 12 Volt Charge Circuit
  The 4 way to 6 way part # A10-6034VP does carry the 12 volt power circuit you'd need to charge a battery. The center pin of the 6-way is the 12 volt circuit and would be carried on the black wire on the other end of the adapter.

• Solution for Finding Out Unknown Trailer Wiring Function
  Varying shades of green are not normally associated with any particular trailer wiring circuit. Your best option will be to test that wire with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to find out when the circuit activates so that you know if you need to use it for your trailer wiring.

• Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller and 6-Way in a 2015 Jeep Renegade
  The easiest and best way to install a 6-way on a vehicle that has no trailer wiring like your 2015 Jeep Renegade is to first install a 4-way like the part # 118651 and then use a 6-way adapter like part # A10-6034VP to convert it to a 6-way if you don't have brakes on your trailer. If instead you do have brakes you would need the part # ETBC6 instead of the # A10-6034VP. This comes with everything needed to make the 6-way conversion and install the brake controller. For a brake controller...

• Does My Trailer Have Trailer Brakes and Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2006 MB Wagon
  First thing you want to do is check to see if your trailer actually has brakes on it. Just because you have a 6-way doesn't necessarily mean you have them. You will want to look under the trailer at the back side of the wheel assemblies. If you see what looks like the backside of the part # 23-469 with two wires coming off of it then yes you do have trailer brakes. See picture. If you don't have brakes all you would need is the part # A10-6034VP and you would be good to go. If you do...

• Wiring Adapter to Connect Vehicle 4-Pole to Trailer 6-Pole
  We do offer adapters to allow you to connect a truck with a 4-pole flat trailer harness to a trailer with a 6-pole connector. These and other formats for trailer wiring are shown in the linked article. Note that there are two types of 6-pole connectors, the round type as on Mighty Cord # A10-6034VP and Hopkins # 37175, and the square type as found on Jayco trailers, for which you'd use # 30104. The 4-pole connector on your truck carries only stop, turn and tail light signals. The trailer's...

• How Does Non-Wishbone Style Trailer Connector Wire to Trailer that Had Wishbone 4-Way
  You'll need to take off of the white wires on your trailer wiring and run it to the single white wire of the new 4-way as well as all of the brown wires to brown wire of the new 4-way. That would be the proper way to run wishbone style circuits of a trailer to a non-wishbone style connector.

• Troubleshooting a 2003 Ford Ranger and Camper with Weak Trailer Brakes
  The only way your brakes would have been locking up immediately when the brakes were applied would be is if the brake light circuit was shorting out to the brake output circuit on your trailer connector. Corrosion on the connector or exposed wire can sometimes cause this. $700 is an insane price for a new brake controller and trailer wiring connector. Did the brakes begin to function again after they worked on the truck/trailer? Weak trailer brakes can be caused by brake assemblies being...

• Brake Controller Will Not Adjust and Digital Meter Shows Voltage Issue
  I contacted the manufacturer and have a different way for you to check to see if your brake controller is able to work properly. They suggest not using the digital multi-meter because it doesn't actually pull any power, so the brake controller doesn't respond the same way. First, unplug your trailer and check to see if the "c" goes away on your controller. If so, use a 12-volt incandescent circuit tester, like # PTW2993, because the light bulb will actually draw some amperage that will...

• Adapting a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2010 Chevy Suburban to a 6-Way Square Jayco Connector
  I do have a solution for you but it a little unorthodox. First, you will need to use a 7-Way to 4-Way adapter like # PK12716. With the 7-Way now converter down to a 4-way, you can use the 4-Way to 6-Way round adapter # A10-6034VP and then use the 6 pole round to 6 pole square adapter, # HM47415. To make it more like one large adapter, you can use dielectric grease, # 11755, between the connections on the adapters and then use electrical tape to wrap up where they are joined. This will...

• Replacement 5-Way Recommendation to Replace a 5-Way that Had 7-Wires Run to It
  What you have is a 5-way trailer connector with a wishbone running light circuit and 5th auxiliary circuit. The closest thing we have would be the Wishbone 5-way Part # A25W5B. This has a wishboned running light circuit, but the 5th circuit is not. You can still make this work though. You just need to run both of the red wires from your trailer wiring into one butt connector and then run the other side of the butt connector to the blue wire of the # A25WB.

• Circuits and Functions Supported by 4-Pole Flat Trailer Wiring
  In 4-pole flat type trailer wiring such as part # 002220 the tail light circuit (also known as the running light circuit) is usually assigned to the brown wire which connects to the pin next to the ground pin. You can see this in the photo I linked for you. This type of wiring format does not support an additional circuit for +12V auxiliary power as might be needed to top off a trailer-mounted battery or to operate a jack or winch on the trailer. Other wiring formats with additional circuits...

• How to Adapt From a 6-Way Trailer Connector to a 4-Way Connector
  It sounds like your trailer has a 4-way flat connector and your 1976 Ford Truck has a 6-way. Which if this is the case all you would need is the correct adapter, part # PK12717. If I have that backwards and you need the opposite adapter all you would need is part # A10-6034VP. I also attached an FAQ article that has wiring diagrams for all trailer connector styles.
