• Parts Needed To Connect Lights From A Removable Trailer Extension To A 5th Wheel
  Hi Rick, I am aware of the Swivelwheel extenders, though not the Blue Ox ones, so I do have an idea of what you are attempting to achieve. It sounds like what you are looking to do should pose no problems at all and shouldn't be too difficult either, especially if you are familiar with wiring. You will, of course, need some butt connectors, wiring, and both trailer and vehicle side 7 Way connectors. I have a list of everything you would need listed out below, but I included two different...

• Wiring For Towing A UK Model 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  Most likely the harness # 118381 will not work with a UK vehicle, however, I do have an a couple options for you. If they are not there, you will need to hardwire a connection using a harness like the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design # HM48030. You can use Quick Spice connectors like # SWC501925-1. You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to determine the wire functions to splice into. If you don't want to splice, you...

• Will The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System Work On A 2010 Toyota Tundra?
  Thank you for being our customer. I reached out to my tech contact at Hopkins and the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System, # HM50002, absolutely can work for your vehicle. The reason why they may say incompatible is that the quick connects were put on the Tundra in 2014, so the older models don't use the quick connects. You can simply cut the two wires from the quick connect and one wire will go to a common ground and the other will splice into your reverse signal...

• Installing Aftermarket Spoiler Brake Light To Brake Light Wire On 2008 Mazda 6
  The Replacement Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller 12" Long # 20127 is not a fit for your 3rd brake light on your 2008 Mazda 6. To power your aftermarket spoiler, you only need to tap into the power signal of that stop light wire and then add a ground wire if the ground isn't already in the spoiler mounting. I recommend using # 16-1-1 wire sold by the foot and Quick Splice Connector # SWC501925-1. You can use circuit tester # PTW2993 to determine...

• Recommended Converter to Isolate Turn Signal Functions From Brake Functions on LED Tail Lights
  To separate your combined turn and brake lights, you will need a converter to isolate those signals. You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test for the functions to determine which wires to splice into for this converter to function properly. To change the turn signal from red to amber, you will need to determine if the lens is replicable on your tail lights and if the LED's are able to work with amber or if they are only red.

• Troubleshooting Reverse Light Function on 7-Way Trailer Connection on 2006 Ford F-250
  Since you have no power for the reverse light function on your 7-way, I recommend first checking your ground as a seemingly good ground can often cause one function like this not to work. You will want to ensure you have a clean bare metal to metal connection free of corrosion and debris. Then you will want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to trace that wire probing the insulation every couple of feet to find a short and replace as needed. I don't have a wiring schematic for...

• Converting Euro 7-way To Standard 4-Way Flat Trailer Connection
  I am not familiar with the bike rack with lighting, however, you can rewire the 7 pin euro by function to the 4-way flat. I recommend using the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - 4' Long # HM38138 along with quick splices like # SWC501925-1 or butt connectors like # DW05744-5. The 4-way functions are: White=ground wire Yellow=left turn/brake light Green=right turn/brake light Brown=tail lights I've attached a photo of the Euro functions for you.

• Installing Reverse Function to 4-Way Flat Connector for 5-Way or 7-Way Function
  I think I understand what you are asking. For your 2015 Jeep Cherokee, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118605 will give you the basic trailer functions as you stated and then you can add the reverse feature alone using the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat - Vehicle End # C57187 and simply use the quick splice to tap into the reverse light at your tail light on either side. This will give you a 5-way flat connector that is...

• Installing Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera And Hitch Aligner System On 2006 Ford F-150 STX
  To use the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 you would need to splice into your reverse wire behind your tail light. You can absolutely use this hardwired way of installing this camera system. The easiest way to do this is to use a Quick Splice Wire Connector - 14-18 AWG (Qty 1) # SWC501925-1 and connect it to the reverse power wire near the tail light and connect the purple wire of the harness for the camera.

• Recommended Wiring For 5th Wheel RV Trailer to Pull Another Trailer
  We do not have any kits for adding a trailer connector to a 5th wheel trailer, but you can simply run the wires from as far back as you can tap into the signal on your 5th wheel to the rear. I suggest using the Deka Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 sold by the foot. You can use quick splice wire connectors like # SWC501925-1. For the back of your RV, you can use the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Vehicle End # HM48190. If you need to...

• Using Quick Splice Connectors for Water Proof Connection
  If you're looking for a waterproof connection, I couldn't recommend quick splice connectors like the # SWC501925-1. The best solution to make the connection waterproof is to solder the connection then use a heat shrink tube like # DW05449 for 10-14 gauge wires or # DW05451 for 14-18 gauge wire. The second best option would be to use a heat shrink butt connector like # DW05745-5 for 10-12 gauge or # DW05744-10 for 14-16 gauge. Wrapping the connections securely in electrical tape would also...

• Installation of Electric Reverse Lockout Solenoid for Surge Brakes
  If you don't install the reverse lockout solenoid # T4748800 that came with your actuator, then unless you have free backing brake assemblies, you will not be able to back up without activating the brakes immediately. This solenoid basically works like a valve not allowing the hydraulic brake fluid to move through the brake lines to activate your brake assemblies. Because you have a 4-way, I recommend you add the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit - Vehicle and Trailer...

• Installing Redarc Brake Controller in 2018 Kia Sorento Without Cutting Wires
  The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR will need to be installed using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7. This will give you the circuit breakers, connectors, and wiring needed to connect your brake controller. Tapping into your 4-way brake signal will work to give you the brake lights but unfortunately the turn signal is found on that same wire, so it would combine the signal....

• Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch C13411 and C13294 For 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG
  You are correct that both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 and # C13411 are confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG. Both hitches have a hidden crosstube meaning that only the receiver itself will be visible once installed. I do however recommend the # C13294 as it has a slightly higher tongue weight rating at 750lbs, and a slightly higher trailer weight rating at 7500lbs. For wiring you will first need to install a 4-way connector using # 119250KIT. With a 4-way...

• Troubleshooting Turn Signal Staying On After Installing Trailer Brake Controller In Ford Van
  I actually found another question on this same issue, and the gentleman found out that there is actually two connectors underneath your dash that the brake controller harness will plug into. I recommend double checking that your harness is plugged in to the lower connector, or in this case, plug it in to the other connector. If you cannot find the other connector then I would hardwire the controller instead, as while it is possible that the harness is not correct there should not be any...

• How To Wire Light Bar On Trailer With Switch In Vehicle
  You can definitely install a light bar on your trailer and control it with a switch in your truck. I will say that it will require quite a bit of cautiously routing wires to avoid moving/hot parts and some splicing wires as you will have to extend the light bar wires to reach that far. I will use the Buyers Products Off-Road LED Light Bar 39-1/2" Long # 3371492184 for example. For this light bar you will need the wiring harness # 3373035768. You will need to install the switch inside of...

• Installing Wiring for Truck Cap Stop Light on a 2014 Chevy Silverado
  On your 2014 Chevy Silverado, there are a couple of options to connect your Truck Cap stop light to your truck. The CHMSL (center high mount stop light) on your truck is one location where you can tap into the wires with Quick Splice Wire Connector # SWC501925-1 on the power and ground to run # 16-1-1 wires to your cap light. Another option is to tap into your fuses using the lid of the fuse box or your owners manual to determine the fuse location for the CHMSL or Stop Light. Another...

• What Type of Trailer Wiring Connector Clamps Down to Connect to Wires
  Sounds like you are describing quick splice connectors like the part # SWC501925-1 which are a pretty standard and easy design most of the time. To make the connection you just set the two wires in the slots and use pliers to close the lid and your set. This part number actually strips the wires too.

• Installing a Brake Controller on a 2016 Isuzu Q Series With No Stoplight Wire
  This is something that has come up with the N-Series Isuzu trucks before. With that being said, you will want to get the stop light signal from a different source. If your vehicle has a center high mount stop lamp, or CHMSL, this will be a great place to connect the brake controller's stoplight wire. The CHMSL can be used to gain a stoplight signal regardless of if your vehicle has separate or combined brake/turn wiring. However, if you do not have the CHMSL, you can simply splice the...

• Recommended Tailgate LED Light Bar For 2012 Nissan Frontier
  For your 2012 Nissan Frontier with 59-5/8 inch tail gate, I recommend using the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar - Stop, Tail, Turn, Reverse - 4-Pole Flat - 49" Long, # RA960137. This will allow you to use all the functions you want. I highly recommend hardwiring this to the wires just before your 7 way connector to still give you your trailer connection. You can tap into the running lights, turn signals, brake lights and reverse light functions right there without running extra...

• Adding Clearance or Running Lights to 1987 Chevy 1 Ton Dually Flat Bed
  You can run your wires directly from your battery using a switch like # PL-SW28B if you desire, or you can simply splice into your vehicle running light circuit. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to find a wire that has power to your tail lights or near your fuse box when vehicle is on ACC or running. You can use a quick splice like # SWC501925-1 to tap into that power easily. This will automatically turn the clearance lights on and off with your running lights.
