Hi they do it yourselfers, today we're going to be taking a look at Spectro's 2 Wire Loop. This 2 Wire Loop will allow you to add a quick connect to any of your accessories that require two wires on your trailer. If you look at our ends here, the male exposed end on the connectors on one of them is connecting to our brown wire, and on the other is connected to our red wire. You can cut this harness in half, and then wire one end up on your trailer side, and then wire the other end up on your accessory, so that way when you plug them together, as you see here when we go to plug them together, that our wires match up red to red, brown to brown.So we're going to go ahead and wire it up now. We've got a couple of different lights here, so this way we can easily disconnect our light assemblies in case we have any damage that occurs to them, like we back up into something on accident. But you'll see here that on one light, we've just got bare wires, so we can cut it in half, wire one into our trailer, the other into our light.
But our other light here, sometimes you get lights that already have this style of connector on it. So what we can do is we can cut this in half and wire one side up to our trailer, and you could use the other side on the other side of your trailer, but you do want to keep in mind that if you we're to do that, that on one side the wire colors would be opposite.Let's go ahead and get this wired up now, and we'll show you how it works. We're going to start by cutting it in half. We're then going to wire up one end to our trailer. So we've got our brown wire, which is our tail lights, and our yellow wire here, which is our left turn and stoplight.
So what we're going to do, since we're going to be using it with this light here that has a pre-existing wire, the red wire on it is the stop, and the black wire on the light is the tail. So we want to make sure that our exposed male connector is the red wire, so that way it'll plug into this red wire.So we're going to be using this end here, we'll strip back the ends on our trailer as well as the M's on our plug, then we're going to use some heatshrink butt connectors to connect the two together. I recommend that you use heatshrink butt connectors since this is exposed on the outside. This will keep moisture from entering in the connector, ensuring a long lasting connection and preventing against corrosion. So we're going to take one end of our butt connector and wire it to the trailer side, and then on the other side of our butt connector, since we chose the brown wire, we're going to be using the brown wire from our new harness, And then our other two wires here, we're going to crimp those together.When wiring these up, the big thing to remember is that you keep track of your wire colors and their functions, because as you can see here, your wire color on your new harness may not match that of the wire on your trailer, or the accessory that you're going to be connecting it to.
We'll now heatshrink down our butt connectors. We can now take our harness that's newly wired in and plug it into our accessory, which is going to be our light here. Now our light does have an additional wire we're going to need to connect, it's a ground wire, so that just goes on a stud. So I'm going to go ahead and finish getting our lights mounted up now, and then get this ground wire attached.Now with our light fully mounted up and our ground wire connected, I plugged in our tester, and we can see everything's working properly here. Adding a quick connect harness like this is particularly useful if you had accessories that you may need to replace often.
Your breakaway switch is a great example, because you should check your breakaway switch for your braking system on your trailer every year. And it's not uncommon in a year's amount of time for your breakaway switch to experience some corrosion or internal damage on the inside and not function properly. So if it's something you're constantly replacing, you can quickly just connect it and add a new one right in.For our light here, if we we're to back up and cause any damage to the light and we needed to replace it, we wouldn't even need any strippers or crimpers or have to do any wiring, we could simply just pull our light off, disconnect it, unhook the ground, which hooks up with a ring terminal, so that uses a screw, take our new light and just put it back on, no wiring involved.Now when you are buying replacement parts to plug in your new light, or anything, you want to check to make sure that that light does have this connector. Breakaway switches, lights, and many other accessories are available that come with this type of connector on it so it can be quickly plugged into your trailer. This is also great for things that you may want to frequently take on and off of your trailer. You can make your own little harness by wiring up one end of the accessory and the other end of your trailer. Whenever you want to take it off just click boom, throw it in your truck, and whenever you want to use it again, plug it right back in. And that completes our look at the Spectro's 2 Wire Loop.

TRhese are Great! I used 2 to extend the line between the solar trickle charger and battery on motorized boat lift. Also during the winter to keep the battery charged with a smaller panel on a garage window sill.Just pay attention to the conveniently color-coded wires to maintain proper polarity
I needed two 12v leads to add backup lights to my trailer. Works great. Very tight connection. I cut it in half and connected one side to my trailers left and right backup lights and the other end to my truck.
This adapter worked great to wire up a license plate light on my cargo carrier.
Excellent adapter…I cut it half to use with my removable removable fenders being I mounted some extra tail lights on them for more visibility, worked out great!
Hard to find 2 terminal plugs except to cut them off an old wiring harness. Thanks for carrying them!
