Recommended Wiring Conversion for Semi Truck and Gooseneck Trailer with Electric Brakes
Question:
I was looking at buying a item number BD0289650300 will it work with the fifth wheel on a semi truck. I will also need the light converter I’ve got in my cart if the converter will work.

Expert Reply:
The Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter - Inner Tube # BD0289650300 will work with a Semi Truck Connection. For the light converter, I recommend using the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT and then the Brake Controller # 90195 and wiring kit # ETBC7. This will allow you to convert your trailer wiring into the wiring that will work with a standard 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer with 7-way trailer connection and trailer brakes without impacting the wiring on your Semi Tractor.
