• How to Wire up a Camper Shell on a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500
  To wire the third brake light of your camper shell on your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 you will need to find the CHMSL circuit. This will be the circuit that will only carry voltage when the brakes are applied and would not blink with either blinker. This circuit is located behind the spare tire, slightly to the left. There will be a white wire with a brown/tan stripe that is capped and outside the harness. This will be the correct wire to use. Now to wire up a dome light you will need to find...

• Best Wiring Options for Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  You have a few options when it comes to 5th wheel wiring for your truck. Most trucks come with factory 7-way trailer connectors at the bumper. If your truck has a factory 7-way, then I recommend installing a 5th wheel wiring harness like the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel Harness, # 41157. In-bed harnesses provide a quick and easy connection point in the bed, so you don't have to modify the existing trailer harness to make it longer or use an extension. This harness has a 90-degree plug,...

• Options to Power Lights in Trailer Without Being Connected to 7-Way on Truck
  When it comes to running the lights in your trailer without having to hook to the 7-way on your truck, I recommend using some 10 gauge wire to add a car battery to your trailer for power. You'll just need a few supplies in addition to a battery; 10 gauge wire, # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot), 2 ring terminals like # 44-5356A, and a couple quick splice connectors, # SWC501915-1. Just find a spot on the trailer for a battery, splice into the 12 volt circuit on your 7-way with one of the wires...

• Quick Splice and Circuit Tester for Tapping into Vehicle Reverse Light
  None of the trailer wiring harnesses we offer are designed to tap into the circuit you need. Only option would be to use a quick splice like part # SWC501915-1 to tap into the circuit after probing the wiring for the reverse light with a tester like part # PTW2993.

• Recommend Brake Controller To Use With Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Unit and 2007 GMC 3500HD
  The item that you selected, Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part # 90195, will work for electric over hydraulic unit, like the Hydrastar. I would recommend using the Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller as it has digital display and can troubleshoot problems. The Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller, # 39510 and older model Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controllers are not designed to be used with electric over hydraulic brake systems. For installation of an aftermarket brake controller, you will...

• Wiring Harness for 2003 Toyota Tacoma to Allow Installation of Hopkins Backup Camera HM50002
  The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is designed for use with a 7-way-equipped vehicle since that type of connector provides the reverse light signal to activate it when you're backing up. Since your Tacoma has only a 4-pole flat trailer connector (which does NOT include a reverse light signal) you'll need to add one. The Hopkins system uses a round U.S. Car connector format for installation. You will need to install Hopkins Universal Wiring Harness...

• Can Spectro Trailer Wiring Junction Box Part # 38656 Be Used on Tow Vehicle for Splicing Wiring
  Yes, the Spectro junction box can be used in your tow vehicle for making wiring connections. This part has a heavy-duty weatherproof plastic housing and includes grommets and cable clamps. You will need to supply two nuts, washers and 1/4-inch bolts of the appropriate length to install the box on your vehicle. I have linked a video showing installation of this part on a trailer frame. The housing measures 3-1/2 x 2-1/4 x 7 inches. In case you need connectors or wire for your splicing...

• LED Lights, Wiring and Mounting Brackets for Reverse Lights On a Boat Trailer
  I would use the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, item # BUL72CB, along with the Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Tail Lights, item # A70GB, and the Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, Steel - Black Powder Coat, item # BK70BB.

• Installing Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller # 90195 in 1999 E450 Class C Motorhome
  It certainly may be that the wiring from the under dash brake controller port is not routed all the way to the trailer connector at the back of the motorhome. If there is a 7-way connector on the back of your coach you can try tracing the blue brake circuit wire forward from the connector; you may be able to find a point where it can be connected to the wiring from the front of the vehicle. You can also run a new brake output wire from the back of the P3 directly to the trailer connector...

• Is Function of Blue Wire on 5-Way Connector, Part # 20017, For Reverse and How to Wire To 7-way
  The blue wire will connect to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle, but it will also send a signal to disengage the brake actuator on the trailer when you put your vehicle in reverse. So when you are in reverse, the trailer brakes will not be engaged. You would need a 7-way adapter like Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat, part # A75TB. To wire the reverse lights on your trailer, you would need to connect the power wire from the trailer reverse lights, to the blue wire on the 5-way...

• How To Wire 6-Way Square Connector on 2000 Viking Popup to 2001 Mazda Tribute With 4-Way Flat
  I do have a few solutions to wire your 2000 Viking with 6-way Square to your 2001 Mazda Tribute 4-Way flat. The first option would be to cut off the 6-way connector on your Viking Popup Camper, and wire in a 4-way connector by function. You will want to use Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design. part # HM48110. To wire, you will want to wire the labeled color wire on part # HM48110 to the matching wires on your trailer. Another option would be...

• How to Add a Back Up Circuit to a 4-Way Connector
  No, it will not because the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118311 is a 4-way connector and those don't power the back up lights on a trailer. The one you bought online is probably functioning correctly. The reverse lights on a trailer must receive power from the reverse lights on your C10. To do this, you will want to install a 5-pin connector on the trailer and on the tow vehicle. I recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5-way Flat Wiring Kit, item # HM47890. You can simply...

• Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2012 Monaco Knight Motorhome
  Based on my research, it looks like your 2012 Monaco Knight Motorhome is built on the custom-built Roadmaster Chassis. We do not currently have a plug-in wiring adapter available for your RV, however there should be a built-in harness next to the air brake pedal. You will just need to connect the wires from the brake controller pigtail to this harness. I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885. This is a great proportional controller that will activate...

• How Large Of Battery Can Hopkins Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger # 20011 Trickle Charge
  I contacted our representative at Hopkins and he informed me that the Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger, part # 20011 can charge batteries of different sizes, even large batteries, it will just take a bit longer. He informed me that part # 20011 will trickle charge your regular 12 volt battery just fine. If you do have the vehicle battery connected directly to the battery on trailer it will keep sending power to the battery even after the battery is charged, which could be bad for...

• Where to find the Electric Brake Wire on a 2006 Ford E250 Van
  If your Ford E250 Van is equipped with the under dash plug for installing a brake controller that matches the Brake Controller Wire Replacement for Ford, item # 3035-P, then the blue wire should be terminated along the inside driver side frame rail near the spare tire, at the rear of your van, see photo. Many times there is a connector there and the blue wire will enter the connection but, is not continued on from that point. You would need to connect the blue wire from the Adapter 4 Pole...

• Installing Tow Ready 4-Way to 7-Way Trailer Wiring Adapter # 30717 On A 1995 Ford F250
  The 4-way connector on the Tow Ready 4-Way to 7-Way Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 30717, will connect to the 4-way already on your 1995 Ford F-250. You will need to run the blue wire on the adapter up the truck and connect to the brake output wire on your brake controller, usually also blue. You can splice into the blue wire on your brake controller wiring harness using the quick splice 10-12 gauge, part # SWC501915-1. I am including a video link of how the quick splice is connected.

• Wiring Reverse Light Circuit to 7 Way Connector on 2016 GMC Terrain
  The center pin of a 7-way is typically the reverse light circuit. You'd need to tap into the reverse light circuit of your 2016 GMC Terrain to activate it. For a quick splice for 14-18 gauge wire you'd want # SWC501746-1 or for 10-12 gauge wire # SWC501915-1. I'd recommend strongly that you run the 12 volt power wire back to the positive post of the battery and not to a 12 volt outlet to prevent shorting out that circuit.

• Installing Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160
  If you purchased the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter, # 3020-S, for your 2007 Dodge Ram, then it will wire color for color with the wires for the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller, # TK90160. If you have a different brand of adapter, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, to test the wires for function.

• Troubleshooting Reverse Lockout on Ranger Boat Trailer and 2017 Toyota Tundra
  I recommend testing the reverse light wire (center pin) on your 2017 Tacoma's 7-way plug for 12 continuous volts to make sure it's hot. Using a tester like the LCD Digital Circuit Tester Item # PTW2993 will do the trick. You will need a second person in the cab of the truck who can put it into reverse. Of course, you want to make sure the emergency brake is applied, and the brake pedal is pressed prior to shifting into reverse. If the pin isn't hot, you will need to follow the length of...

The dimensions of the lens of this light are 4 by 16-1/2 inches. If you wanted more of a bar light I would recommend the Optronics Thinline Opti-Brite LED # ILL72CB, this light has 27 diodes and puts out 513 effective lumens. This light measures 21-7/8 inches long by 1 inch wide by 5/8 inches thick. Watts...

  Wiring the grounds for your tail lights and the 35 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 42 inch Ground Wire, item # A35W42B, is fairly simple. The 42 inch ground wire provided with the harness is normally attached to the trailer frame near the coupler.

• Finishing Brake Controller Output Circuit on 2003 Dodge Ram with 4-Pole Trailer Connector
  As your Ram is not equipped with the 7-way connector, the brake output and 12-volt accessory circuits are not ran to the rear of the truck. You will first need a 4-pole to 7-way adapter like part # 37185 that will plug into your existing 4-pole. You will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire from the blue lead of the adapter under the vehicle to the engine compartment. Make sure to avoid any moving parts like the suspension and steering components and anything hot like the exhaust. In...
