Expert Answers about Forest River Trailer Lights


  • Troubleshooting Brake/Turn Signal Lights Only Flashing On Trailer When Headlights Are Off
  • It sounds to me like the lights on your trailer are wired up incorrectly. The Running/Brake lights will typically use 2 separate filaments inside a bulb. The brighter should be for the brake/turn signals and the lighter for the running lights. If they are wired backwards it is hard to see the less bright light flash when the brighter lights are on. This is what it sounds like is happening on your trailer. There is another chance that the lights are shorting out. If that is the case your...

  • 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness and Submersible Tail Lights For a Boat Trailer Over 80" Wide
  • The 25 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB you found is going to have the 3 wires which run down each side of the trailer. One wire on each side is going to be a ground wire(white), the 2nd wire(brown) is going to be for the running lights and side marker/clearance lights and the 3rd wire(green or yellow) is going to be for the turn signal/brake lights for each side of the trailer. The Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights # TLL160RK are submersible and the correct size needed...

  • Replacement Passenger Side Tail Light For Karavan KHD-2000-60-8-RR Utility Trailer
  • Unfortunately William, I have no way to look at exactly what parts are installed on your Karavan KHD-2000-60-8-RR utility trailer. Based on images I could find it does look like the Incandescent Tail Light # ST56RS you found. If you can take some images of your light or of the good light on the drivers side along with measurements of the light I can use that to verify if this is the correct tail light for your trailer.

  • Recommended Trailer Light Wiring For a 2019 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription
  • I recommend pairing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683 with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76194 you found for your 2019 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription. This harness will provide you with a 4-way flat to operate the lights on most small trailers. It plugs in line of your existing tail light wiring so there is no reprogramming of your Volvo's computer. If you are going to pull a larger trailer that requires an electric trailer brake controller you are going to also need...

  • Light Strip and Wiring Parts Needed to Add Reverse Light Strip to Trailer
  • Thanks for reaching out, Steve! For a 60" light strip we have the Premium Slim LED Strip Light # TN38ZR which is weatherproof and rated for 3,638 Lumens. You'll need the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 to make your connections and you'll also need to tap into the reverse light function on your tow vehicle with the wiring kit # 20036 as well as change your trailer connector to a 5-Way with part # HM37918 so everything will match up.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2024 Mazda CX-5
  • Hi Richard, For a 2024 Mazda CX-5 you'll need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector and Install Kit # C59496. This wiring kit will splice into your tail light wiring and require you to run a power wire to the battery to prevent pulling power from the tail lights and dimming them.

  • Why is Red Light on 4,000 lb Ultra-Fab Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack
  • Hey Dallas, thanks for reaching out! The manual for your Phoenix Electric Trailer Jack # UF38-944040 says the red light will come on during operation if a low voltage situation exists, meaning you need to fully charge your trailer battery. If the red light is flashing for 3 seconds then that means you have a high amp situation instead and you need to reduce your load, or replace some parts so you'll need to call Ultra-Fab directly (800-860-7571) for servicing options.

  • What Lighting Functions Does the GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier Have?
  • The GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier item # HGK819 does not have backup lights. It has two LED tail lights, an illuminated license plate bracket, and reflectors. The LEDs have stop, turn, and the standard illuminated tail light function. The lights are powered and controlled by a standard 4-flat connector. To add a trailer connector to your 5th wheel trailer, I recommend the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester item # 18252. This kit comes with a circuit tester which you'll need...

  • Question About a Product
  • You are going to need to switch to a light like the LED Trailer Dome Light with Switch # 3375625337 as the Command Electronics 328-K-1020W light is obsolete. This light is 5-1/8" in diameter so it will be slightly larger than the 4-7/8" of the current light.

  • Does Boat Trailer with LED Reverse Lights Need Load Resistors
  • The load resistors part # DI34ZR that you referenced are not submersible but based on your application it does not seem like you need to install load resistors. The reverse light circuit of trailer wiring shouldn't require additional resistance to activate.

  • Tow Bar Lighting and Trailer Wiring that Fits 2022 Jeep Wrangler
  • Hey Rodney, good question so there isn't a single harness that will do both a tow bar lighting and trailer wiring solution but you can install both at the same time. So for trailer wiring you could use the Tekonsha part # 118786 and then for the tow bar lighting kit you'd want the part # C96JR. Basically the two kits would plug into each other and then back into your vehicle.

  • Is Light Kit Needed for Covered Bike Rack at Rear of Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • Hey Tom so I definitely know what you are asking for but due to the very minimalistic design of the Kuat Transfer part # KU84FR there isn't a great way to add lights to it. But the good news is that you most likely don't need additional lights. Reason being that fifth wheel trailer taillights are often at the widest points on the trailer which is typically around 80 inches in width and your bike would definitely not be that long so your taillights SHOULD be visible on either side. Some...

  • Availability Of 5 Flat Adapter For A 2021 Ram ProMaster 3500
  • Hello Howard, we actually do sell a kit designed specifically for this purpose with the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57187. This plugs in to the existing 4-flat and will hardwire into the reverse light circuit on your ProMaster van. I am afraid I don't have a way to tell you exactly where to find the reverse light circuit. You may be able to get that info from a dealership. Otherwise the best way is to go in with a wire tester like part # PTW2993 until you find the reverse wire.

  • Do Vehicle Taillights Need to Function If Vehicle is Towed with Tow Dolly
  • Generally, you don't need additional lighting when using a tow dolly that already has lights. However, it's not a bad idea to check with the local laws in the states you'll be traveling in. If you do need to have lights on the vehicle you could use the magnetic LED tow light kit part # TLL21RK and to add a 4-way to your tow vehicle's wiring you would want the part # 18252 which would wire into the current trailer wiring.

  • Can Trailer Wiring be Used to Power Camper Shell Dome Light/3rd Brake Light
  • The 1:00 pin circuit of the 7-way could be ran to power the dome light since that's a 12 volt circuit that is hot all the time but you would need to go a different route for the third brake light. For that you would need the tail light converter part # PP20-702 which you'd wire to the stop/turn circuits of the 7-way which would then give you a stoplight circuit on the red wire like you need.

  • Will The Curt Flat Tow Harness Also Work With Tekonsha Tow Harness on a 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL?
  • Yes, the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # C96JR will also connect with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL. These all use the same style factory connectors so they will plug in line of each other. If you have any additional lighting connected to the trailer connector on your Wrangler you will need to ensure you connect the Curt harness to the factory harness and then the Tekonsha trailer wiring into it then the tail lights so they get the power needed...
