  • The 2007 Suburban does not require a wiring adapter so the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - GM # 3015-P will not be confirmed fit in our system since it's not necessary. The tow package wiring however can wire directly to the brake controller instead, located above the emergency brake pedal, it is taped to a wiring harness. There will be a white tag hanging off of the wiring and the four wires included are red, dark blue, light blue and white. You will...

  • What Wire Does The Yellow Wire With Brown Stripe On My Trailer Connect To
  • On the trailer's 5-way connector the yellow wire with brown stripe is most likely a running light circuit but you want to be sure. There is sometimes a yellow/brown wire which is ran down the left side of the trailer for tail lights and a green/brown wire which is ran down the right side of the trailer for tail lights. Since wire color functions may vary depending on the manufacturer you still want to test the wire to determine the function by using a vehicle battery and jumper wire on...

  • How To Replace 4-Way Flat On Trailer That Has 7 Wires To It
  • When a 4 flat connector on a trailer has 7 wires it usually means it either has extra grounds or extra tail light wires.

The only way to know this for sure it to test the wires for function using a 12V battery and a jumper wire.

  • Trailer Wiring for a Motorcycle Towing a Motorcycle Trailer
  • Normally, the 5-wire flat connector will accept a 4-wire flat connector and work properly. The extra circuit on the 5-wire connector is normally wired to power a reverse lockout or electric trailer brakes not the brake lights. If your motorcycle has the brake light circuit connected to the extra circuit you will need to do some re wiring or install a converter, item # 119178KIT, on the motorcycle. Your trailer should be wired as follows. White wire = ground, brown = taillight, yellow =...

  • Which Wire Does the 12 Gauge Blue Wire Splice Into From TK22113 in 2017 Dodge Durango
  • I contacted the tech at Tekonsha and he confirmed that on the 2017 Dodge Durango the white wire with the orange stripe should be the wire you splice the 18-gauge blue wire (not to be confused with the 12-gauge blue wire) into while installing part # TK22113. I recommend testing the orange and white wire for function to be sure before you splice into it. You can test it with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 while someone turns the ignition on and puts the Dodge in reverse (with brake depressed)....

  • The Tekonsha OEM Replacement wiring part # 22117 comes with three fuses. It comes with one 25 amp fuse and two 30 amp fuses. It also comes with 3 inline fuse holders.

  • How to Install the ZCI Wiring Harness Part # 119250KIT on a 2-Wire System
  • It sounds to me like you have a 2-wire system on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK. For vehicles that use a 2-wire system, the turn & brake functions are combined on one wire and the taillight function is on a separate wire. The easiest way to test the rear taillight connectors for the proper turn/brake and running lights signals is to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992. A voltage meter is not necessary to install the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT. In order...

  • Replacement Wishbone Trailer Connector To Replace 6-wire Connector
  • Your trailer connector is considered a wishbone connector. A wishbone connector splits the running light circuit into two separate wires. Instead of a single brown wire carrying the running light circuit, you have a wire for running lights on the right side of the trailer and another wire for left side running lights. Then you have a wire carrying the left turn/brake light circuit, wire for right turn/brake light circuit and white wire for ground. Since your connector has 6 wires you probably...

Please note, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness is for 2018+ models only but the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit works will all years.
