• How To Add A 7-Way To a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg With Plug Under Rear Bumper
  I do have the needed parts to provide you with a 7-way trailer connector but unfortunately, I don't have any information on the plate/socket you are referring to. The best place to look for advice on this would be in your owner's manual but if not listed here then your local Volkswagen dealer. If you send me a photo I may be able to provide advice as well if the above two options fail. The 7-Way Trailer Adapter for VW, Audi, and Porsche Towing Trailers with LED Lights part # C57003 that...

• Correct Pin on 7-Way to Wire Trailer Battery for Maintenance Charge
  To provide a maintenance charge to the battery on your trailer while you travel you will want to run the hot lead from the battery to the 12V pin on the 7-Way. At the back of your trailer's 7-Way this will be at the 1 o'clock position (see attached image). You will also want to make sure that the corresponding pin on the vehicle's 7-Way is active. If not you will just need to run 10 gauge wiring like # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) from the 7-Way up to the truck's battery via a circuit breaker...

• Trailer Brakes Only Work when Interior Light Switch is On on Horse Trailer
  With trailer wiring, you can't make any assumptions. The wires have to be tested to determine the functions. An easy way to do this would be to use a separate 12 volt battery and apply power to each wire on the trailer and then see what turns on. Then wire up the trailer connector accordingly. There may be breakaway system that is wired in with the 12 volt circuit from the trailer connector so when the switch is off it basically closes off that circuit. That would explain why the brake...

• Replacement 7-Way Vehicle Socket for 2005 GMC Sierra
  The 7-way socket you referenced, Pollak # PK11893, connects to your vehicle with a round standard U.S. Car connector. This is an exact OEM replacement for the GMC Sierra. If you wish to have flexibility to connect to trailers that use a 4-pole flat connector you can instead consider one of the 4- and 7-way connectors shown on the link provided. These plug in to the truck in the same way but provide two connector options. Several include a length of wiring, such as Curt # HM40975, which...

• Troubleshooting Lights on Trailer Towed by Motorhome
  If the trailer towed by your motorhome has lights on one side that do not work the issue is likely to be on the trailer. You could have bad bulbs, loose wiring or corroded connector contacts on the trailer plug. Check all contacts on the trailer plug, looking for even slight greenish or whitish discoloration. It is possible the issue is nothing more than slight corrosion that you can clean off with an aerosol electrical contact cleaner like Caig De-Oxit. Check all bulbs and bulb sockets...

• Troubleshooting No Stop/Turn Signal Lights on Trailer But Running Lights are Active
  So the stop/turn circuits on a trailer typically draw the most amperage so if your trailer wiring had an insufficient ground this would be the time it would show up. First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2992 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the...

• Trailer Left Side Running Lights are Dim
  If it is only the running light on the left side that is dim then the most likely issue is still a weak ground. You may need to run a jumper ground from that tail light assembly to another location. This is especially true if there is a license plate bracket between the tail light assembly and the trailer frame. When you are testing the light are you doing so with the trailer coupled to the ball? If not, and you do try it with the trailer coupled to the ball and it starts working fine...

• Troubleshooting Enclosed Trailer Interior Dome Lights Not Working When Connected to Tow Vehicle
  Trailer interior lights are typically wired to a battery mounted on a trailer. If yours are wired in this manner, you will want to start by checking to see if the battery is fully charged and in good condition. If the dome lights are actually wired to the running lights circuit on the 7-Way, your best bet is to simply trace the wiring going there from the dome lights to check for any damaged or exposed areas that are in need of replacement. Make sure the connections both at the light...

• Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector for Curt Wiring Harness 56071
  Yes, you can get a replacement 7-Way receptacle only to fit in place of the one on # C56071. If you wanted a Curt brand you could use # C57101 which is a little fancier with its backup alarm and 4-Way flat built in. Or for something simpler, just a 7-Way, you could use # PK11893.

  The Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket part # PK12-707E is a hardwired vehicle side trailer connector.

• Is it Okay to Install Fuse and Relay to Activate 12 Volt Accessory Circuit on 2015 Ford F-150
  You are absolutely on the right track. Sometimes vehicles don't have the 12 volt circuit active on the 7-way since not every trailer needs this circuit. Typically GM trucks though. All you need to do is install the missing fuse and relay and you would be good to go.

• What is the Correct Replacement for a PA66-MD40 on a 2011 Mercedes Benz GL Class?
  From what I could find out, the Pollak # PK11893-11933 will actually be the full replacement for your PA66-MD40. If you do just need the 7 Way plug, however, the # PK11893 will be all you need.

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500
  I was unable to find much about the wires you located. That being said, you will need to test your plugs with something like # PTW2993. This will confirm which port is which function. As we do not have anything that will plug directly into your plugs, the # PK11893-11933 will need to be hardwired to get everything up an running. Due to this, it would be better to go with # PK11893 and # PK11998. This is specifically a hardwire kit so you wouldn't need to cut off the rectangular plug.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring that Stopped Working on 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
  First thing to do is take some sandpaper to clean off all of the pins of your trailer wiring as what you described sounds like corrosion preventing connection from being made which is VERY common. I also attached a couple help articles on troubleshooting trailer wiring for you to check out as well.

• What Would 8th Wire of Trailer Wiring at Rear of Vehicle be
  If you have 8 wires ran to the trailer connector area of your vehicle most likely the 8th wire is a third brake light circuit used for installing a camper shell. If this wire is only active when you apply the vehicle brakes this would verify that.

• Color Code for Tow Package Wires on 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Most GM trucks use a pretty standard wire color for their tow packages, but I always recommend testing for function, and not just color. If you follow the bundle back there should be more wires than the ones you mentioned, for a total of 8. There's 7 for the trailer connector and 1 for a dedicated brake light circuit for adding a 3rd brake light on a camper shell. The wires on your 2002 Silverado should be as follows : White - ground Yellow - Left turn and stop signal Dark Green - Right...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Left Blinker Not Functioning on a 2004 Ford F-150
  Does the left blinker work on the truck? If it isn't working properly it can also prevent the trailer wiring from working depending on what type of trailer wiring setup you have. Try testing again with the circuit tester with the hazard lights on to see if the circuit starts to blink. That would indicate that the problem is a relay or fuse. But since you said you checked the fuses it's most likely a relay. Check the owners manual/fuse legend on the truck to see where the relays would...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Light Issue Connected to 2018 Ram 1500
  It is possible the running light fuse for your trailer blew and that is the F29 blue 20 amp fuse, although it may be a different color if it has already been replaced. Since the lights went out on the trip, it very well could alternatively be a ground wire issue on your trailer. You can test for power on your 7-way pin using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and that will tell you if you have a vehicle side issue or a trailer side issue. If it is the vehicle side, and the fuses check out,...

• Availability of 7-way Round Pin to 7-way Blade RV Style Trailer Connector Adapter
  So you're needing a 7-pole round to 7-way RV (blade) style connector adapter, is that right? We don't have an adapter like that (due to the fact that the 7-way round pin connector is pretty rare these days), so the easiest thing to do would be to replace the existing 7-way round pin connector on your vehicle with a 7-way blade style connector like # PK11893 and a # PK11998 7-way pigtail. Or, if it's still needed, you could leave the existing 7-way round pin connector in place and tap the...

• Recommended Trailer Connector for 2006 GMC Yukon XL With Rusted Bracket
  The Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Twist-Mount 7-Way RV part # HM40920 is designed to use a pre-existing bracket welded to the trailer hitch. You simply insert it into the opening and turn to lock it in place. If this bracket is no longer usable, usually due to rust then you can get a new mount using two parts, part # 18138 and part # C57202. That said, you'd also need a different type of trailer connector the Pollak Replacement 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket part # PK11893.
