STILL WORKING GREAT NO ISSUES

Perfect finish to installing a water tight LED light kit on my PWC trailer. These are of good quality and I had plenty to spare.

Still water tight and working, would buy again.



by:

Just upgraded to a 2016 Odyssey and need to tow my camper.
Purchased the OEM hitch and OEM custom harness (from car to 4 pin on hitch. OEM Hitch comes with nice beefy flange where the 4 pin connector mounts. But I needed a 7 pin for electric brakes and bought this ETBC7 kit to do the job.

I ended up cutting a custom hole in the bumper cover and figuring a way to mount the bracket in this kit directly to the OEM hitch. Wanted to share photos of the install for anyone else in the same boat. Advantage of my install is that the 7 pin is mounted above the bracket, protecting it from injury from low clearance obstacles on the road. One Con, is I had to mount it upside down so it didn't interfere with the metal bumper under the bumper cover.

One issue I remember is that the Ground wire on the 7 pin harness didn't come close to reaching an available frame member, at the side of the car. I had to cut off the ring lug and extend it out to the edge of the car to complete the install. But it is done now!

Exactly what I needed to rewire a 20-year-old trailer that was starting to show it's age with inconsistent lighting performance and continuity issues. In addition to purchasing this lighting harness, I upgraded all my incandescent bulb side markers and taillights with LED units and complete rewired the trailer. etrailer had everything I needed in one place with excellent pricing and superb service. Everything is working great and I love the brightness and visibility of the LED lights.



by:

Haven't rewired the trailer yet, but the items ordered arrived quickly and the order was accurate. Great prices and service!

Great! I dont use the bot very much, but all the lights still work!!!!



by:

I had trailer light problems (who hasn't?) and found etrailer on the web. The site was extremely well organized and made it easy to find what I was looking for.
I had a question regarding the kind of wire connector needed. It was answered promptly by E-mail.
The lights and connectors arrived as promised and the installation was straightforward thanks to the videos on the site.



by:

couldn't use the wire connectors, to small for the wires on truck and trailer wiring harness. The trailer hitch fit good and the wiring harness was as advertised. No problem installing either of them



by:

I would like to really thank the team at etrailer for making my order correct. George, Amy and Carol all worked well with communication with me when there was a small issue with the amount of connectors I ordered. They made things right and I have nothing but appreciation for their work and attention to detail to help me out. Thank you again and I will be doing business again!! A+



by:

Being a new boat owner I was quickly overwhelmed by what I didn't know. Re-wiring, re-lighting my trailer was my first project. etrailer has a wide range of products, but most important to me, was their added product information and instructional information which helped me make the right selections to get this done. Add to that is their very competitive prices. etrailer will be my go to source for my future trailer needs.



by:

Just received my order of new backing plate assemblies and some misc small parts. Ordered on line late Sunday night, confirmed I had ordered the right parts Monday morning before shipment went out. Customer service by phone was superb and the gal I talked with was perfect. Shipment was on my porch Friday afternoon. I did open box and inspect shipment that arrived completely intact/good shape and all looked good at this point. Not sure when will get to the brakes on the trailer but will post again when the job is done. So far nothing but good to say about Etrailer.com. Regards, John.



by:

Order was complete and delivered in a timely manner. Only problem (minor) was the 7way pigtail was not wired to color code. Had to use test light to get 3 of the wires in correct location. Could be a problem if someone wasn't comfortable with ringing out wires.



by:

I really like the idea of any outdoor wiring connector that has self-sealing heat shrink. I don’t agree with the suggestion of using a lighter to activate the heat shrink—use a proper heat gun designed for this.



by:

I have to say it's an absolute pleasure dealing with etrailer. Not only did my package arrive on time as promised but the experience of dealing with the people at etrailer such as Tommy and Dani made it that much more of fun experience. There was not a problem with answering my questions if they did not know the answer they found out the answer and got back in touch with me. Their prices are great their products are good quality and there's so many good things to say about the company that I could go on and on. Keep up the good work and I will be doing all my trailer business with etrailer. Just check out their website and see how much more they have to offer.



by:

I used these on one of my trailers the day I got them. They worked great!



by:

Products very good. Installed easily. Look good and work well. Only problem was shrink tubing way too small to fit over connectors. Otherwise everything fine. No biggie. !!



by:

Good product but, too small for brake wiring. You did not have the right size.

We recommend 10 or 12 gauge wiring for trailer brakes. The Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation part DW05745-5 will work well for you.



by:

These butt connectors work like you expect them to and at a great price!



by:

Item was exactly as ordered and of high quality. I had a question as to which of two wiring connections I needed for the lights I purchased. My questioning email was answered immediately and correctly. Good customer service.



by:

Used these with shrink tubing on my trailer re-wire last year... not a single problem since.



by:

Good product
But sold in lots of 10
and a full package is 25 pieces
need to sell in unopened bags of 25 instead of 25 in one bag and 5 in another
Always fishing them out of the bottom of the box



by:

I was very pleased with my brake shoes. The installation went smoothly. The packaging could have been better. The box arrived in a beat up condition, but the contents were okay.



by:

Great product. Fit my trailer tail lights perfectly.



by:

These were actually a little longer than I was expecting. I was able to cut them off at each end with a pair of heavy scissors and they are going to work great.



by:

etrailer did an exceptional job in processing and shipping my order out complete - ahead of projected delivery - hats off to everyone at etrailer - it is a team effort. Thank you for the great experience and I'll check with etrialer on any future needs...…



by:

Held up well through winter #1 on my snowmobile trailer!

  • Weathertight Wiring Plug and Stainless Steel Bracket for 4 GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light
    There are 2 different possible connectors you can use for the wiring when it comes to the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL101RMB; the 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PMB which installs using splicing, and the Three-Wire Straight Pigtail # AL45PWTB which connects to the industry standard 3-way connector for lights. Please note that if you will be using the splicing method then you want to use heat shrink butt connectors like what comes with the kit # DW05743-10 as they will be much more effective. When...

  • Recommended Simplest Conversion for Trailer 4-Way Flat to 5-Way for Surge Brake Lockout & Jeep 7-Way
    For your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 7-way trailer connector is already a huge help. I recommend simply using the 7-Way to 5-Way/4-Way Trailer Adapter # 707250 or the # 707250. This will give you the 5-way that includes the reverse function to allow you to add the solenoid lockout to your surge coupler. Using a Reverse Lockout Solenoid for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators - Non-Bypass # DM11993 or the Titan # T4748800 will allow you to backup without the braking pressure to your trailer...

  • Best Connector for Installing the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire
    The best connector type to use with the 40' 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire # SWC77FR are the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10. You'll insert the ends of the wires into the butt connector, crimp it down, and then use a heat gun or a small flame to shrink the casing around the wires. This gives you a solid connection that is safe from being exposed to the elements.

  • How Do I Wire LED Flood Lights on My Camper to Use When Backing Up?
    Another option than running the LED light to the battery is by running the wiring to the running lights. Although, this can be just as difficult as running it to the battery. The best route is to run the wiring to the reverse lights. However, if you go this route, you must go without a switch option. The only way to use a switch is to go directly to the battery. If you need extra wiring for the application, I recommend using the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Parallel Conductor Wire - per Foot...

  • Can a 4-Way Flat Harness With Full Length Ground Wires Be Used In Place Of Grounding To Frame?
    Yes, you can use a 25 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB with a full length ground wire to ground your Tail Lights. You will not have to ground either the harness or the lights to the frame on your aluminum trailer. I recommend using Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10 for your wire splices. This will help to protect the wiring from corrosion issues at the connections.

    We don't offer a plug and play trailer harness that would plug directly into the Peterson # 435800 trailer taillight. The lamp includes a 3 pin pigtail that would plug into the rear of the lamp which would wire directly into the trailer wiring.

  • Best Way To Connect Multi Wires and Lights on a Boat Trailer
    The best way to make water tight wire connections on a trailer are with heat shrink butt connectors; the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors part # DW05743-10 for 22-18 gauge, part # DW05744-10 for 16-14 gauge, and part # DW05745-10 for 12-10 gauge. If you need to combine multiple wires, choose the smallest size that both wires will fit inside so you can get a tighter seal on the heat shrink tubing.

  • Can Hair Dryer Be Used For Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors

  • What Gauge Wire Is Used On the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness?
    The Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness - 20' Long # HM48240 uses 18 gauge wire for the 3 lighting functions and 16 gauge for the ground wire. This is standard size wire for a 4-way flat harness, but the ergonomic grip on the connector for the easy pull disconnection is what sets this harness apart from others. I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Red - Qty 10 # DW05743-10 for your light connections.

  • Recommended Wire Connector Used To Attach Lights On Boat Trailer
    In order to join lights together on a boat trailer you'll want to use heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05743-10, part # DW05744-10, and part # DW05745-10 as they keep out moisture which reduces the chance for corrosion that cause lighting issues. If you need to tie multiple wires together, you can do so using one of the larger butt connectors. In order to seal these connections you also need a heat gun, the Trades Pro Dual Range Heat Gun w/ Nozzles part # ALL836717. I have attached...

  • Can 10" Leads on 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights Be Longer
    All of the 3-prong pigtails like the 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights # A45PB come with 10" leads so if you need to extend the wiring length you'll need some 18 gauge wire found as part # SWC97FR (sold by the foot) and then heat shrink butt connectors like the kit # DW05743-10 that comes in a pack of 10. This will give you the ability to extend the leads out as long as you need! Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Installation Location at the Back of a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
    Some Nissan vehicles came with that 8-pin connector rather than a 6-pin like most others. There isn't a plug-in harness or adapter for Nissan vehicles with the 8-pin connector, such as your 2008 Pathfinder, but there is an option for you. First, and what I recommend, is to use the harness you have, # 118267, but cut off the vehicle and harness side connectors and hardwire them together based on function. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter such as # PT89ZR to test the wires...

    The wiring on the 25' harness uses 20 gauge wiring for the tail light wires in the Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK. I recommend using the Heat Shrink But Connectors # DW05743-10 where you will need to splice together any wiring for a dry, corrosion resistant connection.

  • Is Heat Shrink Tubing Included in Deka Butt Connector DW05743-10
    The Deka 22-18-gauge butt connector 10-pack, part # DW05743-10, already has built-in heat shrink tubing on the connectors so it is not necessary to add it. If you want to add an additional layer of protection from moisture and other contaminants you can apply Deka Self-Fusing Auto Tape # DW04367 around the entire connector after you have applied heat to the heat-shrink tubing.

  • What Gauge Wiring Is Used On Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer MAL53FR?
    I reached out to my contact at Malone and the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer - 58" Crossbars - 400 lbs # MAL53FR uses 18 gauge wiring. I recommend picking up the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10 to use for connection the wiring functions on the trailer as this will give you a weather tight connection compared to the included quick splices. I included videos of each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • How Are Trailer Tail Lights Wired
    It sounds like you are trying to install trailer lights on your 2000 Ford F-150? This is not something I recommend doing and you should stick with automotive lights, but if you do decide to do it, trailer lights will need to splice into wires on your truck so you need to find the wires in your Ford that accompany each function by using a circuit tester such as # PTW2979. You will then need to connect those wires to the wires on the trailer light. For example, the Fusion LED Trailer Tail...

  • Can Euro 7-Pin be Replaced by American 4-Way?
    Sure, you can cut off the Euro 7-pin and add an American-style 4-way. I recommend using the Wishbone Wiring Harness # A20WB, which actually has five wires; it splits the running light wires so you do not have to run a jumper wire from tail light to tail light. You will need to do some splicing and you can use the accompanying diagram of a Euro 7-pin to see how they are typically wired. I recommend using butt connectors # DW05743-10 to connect the 20 gauge wires of the harness.

In order to be equipped with the parts you need, I recommend the 3-Piece Electrician Tool Set # PTW1714. This comes with wire cutters, a voltage reader, and a wire stripper. If you need just a voltage reader, I recommend the LCD Tester # PTW2992. If you need heat butt connectors,...

  • Wire Connector Recommendation for 20 Gauge Wire on Trailer
    For a 20 gauge wire I would not recommend the use of a quick splice connector. The core of the wire would be too thin for it to work well. You would most likely end up cutting the core of the wire when tightening it. I would recommend soldering as the best solution and then beyond that butt connectors like the part # DW05743-10 would be the next best solution.

For the 20-18 gauge wires this will be Item # DW05743-10 and for the 12-10 gauge wires it will be Item # DW05745-10.
