When installing The Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # HM20048 on your 1984 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup the black 12 Volt hot lead will have to be used in order for the brakes to work. I have attached the wiring code below:
White Wire - Ground Usual Trailer Wire White
Black Wire - 12 Volt (Hot Lead) Usual Trailer Wire Black ( The black wire for a traditional brake controller that ports doesn't necessarily need to be active for it to work)
Green Wire - Tail Lights Usual Trailer... view full answer...
I would not recommend connecting the white wire to the brown wire, because the white wire is your ground connection. If you need more wiring just splice the brown wire and simply run a new 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 to resolve this issue. The Hopkins Deluxe Trailer Wiring Installation Kit # HM51020 will allow you to make all the connections in this process easier. view full answer...

Replacing the wiring harness on your 1976 Jayco Eagle pop up trailer should be fairly easy. If your trailer is set up with brake/turn signals, and tail lights only then I would remove the factory square 6-way wiring connector and replace it with a 4-way flat connector, item # 18004.
This connector will wire as follows the white wire should go to ground on the trailer frame, the brown wire attaches to the trailer tail light wire, the yellow wire attaches to the trailer left turn and brake... view full answer...
You will need the Universal Wiring Harness # RED69FR to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR into your 2016 GMC Canyon. This will allow you to splice into the wiring that is on your Canyon as there is not a plug and play style connector and the wires are just terminated under the lower side panel fascia on your Canyon.

The Pollak Pigtail Wiring Harness # PK11998 is what you need to add a 7-way on the back of your 2015 Ford F-150. If you have the oval cutout on your bumper use the Hopkins Trailer Connector # HM40975 to mount it.
To connect the wires, you'll need to cut off the existing 4-way and connect them to the appropriate wires on the pigtail. The color coding will be the following:
Green to Green
Brown to Brown
White to Ground
Red on the wiring harness to Yellow on your F-150

Equinox models equipped with the tow package will have blunt-ended tow package wiring located behind the side panel of the center console on the driver's side next to the gas pedal instead of a connector. You'll need the # C51515 universal harness that will plug into the Curt # C27JR Echo brake controller and wire directly to the tow package wiring.
The tow package wiring is a bundle of 4 blunt ended wires that are blue, black, white/blue striped and red/green stripe.

The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR can be installed in almost any vehicle. It will work with your 2008 BMW X3. We have found that the # TK94FR Prodigy RF does sometimes have problems pairing with European cars. There are ways to make this work, but a hardwire connection is always the most reliable.
I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller will splice into your vehicle's existing wiring system and... view full answer...
As you noted, trailers made for the U.S. use a combined wiring scheme for their lighting. Stop and turn signals for each side of the trailer are combined into one circuit and one wire. European wiring is different; it has all separate circuits. This is why there are no simple adapters that can join the two wiring standards and why converters are needed.
Since your German-made Rewaco trike would be wired to the European standard you will need a converter to make it compatible with your... view full answer...
There is a way to isolate the power draw on a 5 wire to 5 wire setup, but it would require a few parts and some wiring work. All of the isolated power trailer converters convert a 5-wire vehicle to a more standard 4-wire system for automotive use trailers, but as you are aware, motorcycle trailers are built as 5-wire systems to match the bike.
You would use part # C59496 on the bike. This part has 5 wire leads to connect ground and the different light functions. The 6th wire is the battery... view full answer...
For your car hauler, you need the appropriate length of the Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire - per Foot # 10-2-1. You will wire one wire from each brake magnet to ground, For the other wire, that will go to the 12 volt output wire from the trailer connector. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the schematic of this setup. The 7-way plug is at the top of the vertical blue line at the top.
For the tail lights of the trailer, you need the Bonded 4 Wire - per foot # 16-4B-1.... view full answer...
On the 2011 GMC Sierra, there is a tow package wiring bundle under the dash so you will not use a plug int type of wiring harness. What you can use is # HM47685. One end plugs into the brake controller and the other end has blunt cut wires that you will need to splice into the tow package wiring.
The tow package wiring is four or five blunt-cut wires under the left side of the instrument panel. These wires are located above your left shin as you are seated in the drivers seat. The wires... view full answer...
In order to wire a vehicle for lights to be flat towed, you have a couple of options. However, you will not be able to use the vehicles wiring harness as it does not accept input signals. Instead, you can wire the vehicle with diodes.
There are 2 ways in which to wire a vehicle that has a 3 wire system like your 2010 Honda CR-V. It can wired to works as a 2 wire system, or it can be wired to run as a 3 wire system. In either case, you will need Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring... view full answer...
Since you have six wires it sounds to me like you have a double ground and a left and a right side tail light wire. If this is the case you could use a wishbone harness like the 20 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 30" Ground Wire, # A20WB, as a replacement because it has the separate left and right side tail light wires.
I recommend using a spare car battery to assist with testing the trailer wires for function. You will just need to ground the negative terminal of the battery... view full answer...
Your 1999 Ford Taurus Wagon has a 5-wire system, which means it has separate stop and turn signals. Most trailers have the 4-wire system, which has the stop and turn signal combined in one wire. You do not need to change the wiring on your trailer to match your vehicle. There is an easier solution for getting the vehicle and the trailer connected.
You will want to use the Draw-Tite Wring Harness, part # 119178KIT, on your Taurus to get a 4-Way connector. This wiring harness will use a... view full answer...
In order to have separate turn and brake lights on your trailer, I strongly recommend using a 2-wire to 3-wire converter, like the Tow Ready # 118158 on the trailer. This will allow you to have 4-way connectors on both the vehicle and the trailer. The 4-way connectors are much more common than 5-way connectors, and will allow to you tow other things with your vehicle, or tow your trailer with other vehicles, without the need for an adapter. This converter box is not designed to be exposed... view full answer...
Since trailer lighting is typically configured with stop and turn signals carried on the same wire, you will need to install a taillight converter on the motorcycle to combine those signals before they reach the trailer lights. You can use kit # 119178KIT which includes a circuit tester, quick-splice connectors and the converter itself with a 4-pole plug.
The wiring configuration will be as follows:
Cycle LEFT turn goes to yellow wire
Cycle RIGHT turn goes to green wire

I wish I had better news, but Tekonsha does not offer a plug-in wiring adapter for your 2014 Thor Palazzo motorhome. We have run into this question before and apparently Freightliner built this plug into some of their Class A motorhomes, but a wiring adapter was not designed to work with it.
Your best option would be to use the universal harness that comes with the Prodigy P2 and tap into the wires just behind the plug. If you need a new harness, you can use part # 7894. We do not have... view full answer...
