• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes That Show Intermittent Overload Error Message on Prodigy Controller
  It sounds like your Prodigy brake controller in your 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup is sensing an intermitting short in the trailer wiring. Since you have checked the brake magnets and have found them to be okay, I suggest tracing the entire brake circuit for signs of damage or corrosion. Follow the brake circuit wiring from each brake all the way to the trailer plug. Look for cracked insulation and spots where it is worn off, especially near points where the wire bends and where it comes into...

• Wiring Needed to Rewire a Trailer for Lights and Electric Brakes
  The # A40W5B has a blue wire that is only 5 feet long. Plus, the blue wire is only 18 gauge and 20 gauge, respectively. So these are not going to work for your application. What you're going to want to use is Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 which is sold by the foot. This will provide the four 16 gauge wires to run from the junction box, part # 277-000141, to your trailer's lights. Then for the brakes you will want a 10 gauge wire, # 10-1-1, which is also sold by the foot. In addition, you...

• How do I Power My 12V Wire on my 2008 E 450 Chassis
  If you have already put your fuses and relay in place you will need to test the main wiring harness at the rear of your coach for power on the different wires using a circuit tester like LCD Digital Circuit Tester part # PTW2992. Do this with all lights off. Once you've confirmed any that have power pull your fuse and relay then test again if one goes cold that's the one you are looking for. If they all remain the same we can go a different route. It isn't uncommon to find that they...

• Parts Needed to Re-Wire Trailer Brakes and 7-Way Harness
  It sounds like there could be a short on the trailer. Sometimes the physical connection between trailer coupler and hitch ball will complete the ground and let the trailer's electrical functions work even when the actual wired ground is no good. In your case the opposite is happening, which suggests that something is shorting to the trailer frame. When not coupled the short will have no effect since only the wiring is connecting the truck and trailer. The issue could be caused by worn...

• How Do The Breakaway Switch And Electric Brakes Connect To A Trailer's 7 Way
  There will be two ways of getting your brakes and break away kit connected to the 7 Way plug on your trailer. First will be to simply splice the wires together, but this can be a bit of a pain as you can end up having several wires connected together. The second way, and the much easier way as well, is to use a junction box, like the Buyers Products # 3375601101. This will require you to mount the box and use ring terminals, like the # 44-5310A, to connect everything, but it is the way...

• Wiring to Brakes on Trailer Being Double Towed
  To get brakes to your second trailer you will want to use 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # 277-000141 on your second trailer, using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 to run from the junction box to your brakes. On the rear of your fifth wheel you are going to want to use 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 as a way to connect the two trailers. Also, keep in mind brake controllers recognize the number of axles braked so you will need...

• Adding Brakes to 1994 Coleman Pioneer Chesapeake Pop-Up Camper
  Trailer bearings are not listed in the specs for your 22-foot 1994 Coleman Pioneer Chesapeake pop-up but usually the axle weight rating tells us a lot about the bearings used. Since your trailer has a dry weight of 1445-lbs it probably has a 2K axle and this means the bearings are usually either # L44643 or # L44649. Hub/drum part # 8-257-5UC3 uses bearing # L44649 as the inner and outer bearing so if you pull one of your idler hubs and find that part number on your two bearings then you...

• Recommendation for Adding Electric Trailer Brakes to Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles & 5 on 5 Inch Hubs
  For your 3500 lb axles, I recommend starting with the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA. These assemblies will self-adjust to ensure you have the best braking without needing to manually adjust them every few months. Then for your 5 on 5 inch hubs, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 5 # AKHD-550-35-K. If you have the spindles with the integrated grease zerk, then you will...

• Installing Electric Brakes on a Vehicle Tow Dolly
  You have a 3500 pound axle, with a 4-bolt axle flange, spaced 4” apart each. You also have tires and wheels with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. To put brakes on your West Texas Dolly # WTD-35D you will need a left and right trailer brake kit like the etrailer # AKEBRK-35 rated for 3,500 pounds, and 10” x 2-1/4” brake pads. Mounting bolts are included but nuts and lock washers # BRKH10B are not. If it were me I would purchase the etrailer # AKEBRK-35-SA self adjusting brakes so that I would...

• Parts Needed to Wire Electric Brakes on Homemade Trailer From Scratch
  Since your trailer is being wired from scratch, I recommend a 7-way molded connector like part # H20046, a junction box # 38656, and an appropriate length of duplex cable, # 10-2-1 for the brakes and 4-wire cable # 16-4B-1 for the lights. To complete the installation you will also want ring terminals and butt connectors # DW05702-1, # 44-5310A, # DW05745-10, and # DW05744-10.

• Brake Controller And Brakes Recommendations For 2010 Kia Sedona And Trailer
  Thank you for the spec sheet on the axle you have on your trailer. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that you do not need to replace your axle, you can just upgrade the one you have. They told me that you have the brake mounting flange mounted on your axle so what you will want to do is add a new hub and drum, the brakes, and wiring for your trailer, and you should be good to go. The hub and drum I recommend is the etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AKHD-545-35-G-K....

• Brake Controller Installed in 2021 Chevy Silverado Z71 Trail Boss Not Powering Up
  Assuming that you've found the correct connector for the # 3064-P brake control harness which is located under the dash to the left of the steering column, I'd wager than you have a fuse missing in the power distribution box in the engine compartment on the passenger side. Check fuse location # 84, and make sure that there's a fuse installed there. If the fuse is missing or blown, you can obtain a replacement from your local auto parts store.

• 2-wire to 3-wire Converter for Trailer Lights
  The Tow Ready Converter # 118158 will work well for your application. This converter needs to be installed downstream, so to speak, of your trailer connector. This converter box is not designed to be exposed to the elements, so you will want to mount it somewhere on the trailer where it is protected. You could also use a fuse box, like # PK52248, to protect the converter. If the ground wire from your trailer connector is already grounded to the trailer, the converter's ground wire can...

• Recommended Wire Gauge for Trailer Electric Brake Assemblies
  For brake assembly wiring, we recommend either twelve gauge wire # 12-1-1 or ten gauge # 10-1-1 due to the length of the wiring and the amperage required. Both of these options are sold by the foot. You will connect one end to the junction box using Ring Terminal - 12-10 Gauge Wire - 3/16" Ring ID # 44-5310A or a butt connector like # DW05745-5. The other end will use the same ring terminal to connect to the trailer frame or axle to provide ground for your brake magnet. I've attached...

• How to Convert M105A2 Cargo Trailer from Air-Over-Hydraulic Brakes to EOH or Electric Drum Brakes
  The M105A2 military trailers don't have standard axle sizes as they utilized a variety for their specific needs. If you have 10 inch, 12 inch, or 12-1/4 inch drums you can make a conversion to electric drum brakes. You will need to measure your hub diameter as well as you hub depth to find the correct fit. I've attached a link to you options to assist. Then you will use # 10-1-1 wire sold by the foot and the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box - 10' Long # 277-000141...

• Electric Brake Compatibility on a Boat Trailer
  Electric brakes on a boat trailer are able to be used without much issue at all. There obviously is an issue with water and electricity, so it is recommended to disconnect the trailer connection when your trailer is being submerged for launch. A few seconds after pulling out of the water, you can connect your wiring without any issues and have the functioning braking system that is easier to maintain. Many boat trailers are moving to electric systems. I do recommend using dielectric...

• Lance Camper Wiring Harness Recommendation
  There is not a plug and play adapter for your Lance connector that we are aware of. Typically this is installed by the Lance dealer. A junction box/7-way plug kit like # HS381-9000 is an option you have to convert the camper to match the 7-way RV blade type connector format. This avoids the extra connection points and potential trouble spots from using separate adapters. These items use different wire colors so be sure to follow the wiring guide for the specific kit you select. The...

• Troubleshooting 7-Way RV Wiring for Cause of Smoke from Connectors
  If your 7-way connectors are getting hot enough to smoke then you do definitely have a good ground! Without a good ground not enough power would be passed to heat up your wiring connectors and make them smoke. But clearly there is a circuit problem in either or both the vehicle socket or the RV plug. Since it sounds like the truck's socket does not act up by itself, only when the trailer is plugged in, I suspect the issue to be on the trailer, specifically within its 7-way molded plug....

• Installing New LED Lights on 2011 Karavan Boat Trailer
  It is true that a trailer ground wire will usually be white but there is never a guarantee that every trailer's wiring follows that convention. It is also indeed unusual for a ground wire to be fused; normally that fuse would be on the hot side of the circuit; but in fact having fuses in trailer wiring at all is rather unusual so it may be that the item you found (and thanks for the photo) is simply a connector used to extend the original wiring. If the original trailer lights were the...

• Recommended Ring Terminals for 10 to 14 Gauge Trailer Wiring
  When using ring terminals for wire gauges between 10 and 14 I recommend using # 44-5310A. The smaller gauge wire will just be stripped back further and doubled up for a snug fit. These ring terminals work great for a connecting a trailer connector like # H20046 you asked this question from to a junction box like # 38656.

• Parts Needed to Wire Brakes to Trailer
  As long as your 5 flat pin supplies brake signals from the brake controller you will be good to go. The purple (reverse) and black (12 volt) wires are not necessary and can be tied up out of the way. You will also need a 7 to 5 way adapter like # A75TB. Check out the video review of part # A75TB at right. A better option would be to replace the trailer connector with a 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector like # H20042 and a trailer wiring junction box like # 38656. You will also need...

• How to Power Interior Lights on Enclosed Trailer
  The best way to power interior lights in your enclosed trailer is with an independent 12 volt battery mounted on the trailer. To do this, mount the battery with Battery Box # TLA7708R and use junction box # 38656 to tap into your 7-way so the battery gets a maintenance charge when you are hooked up to the 7-way. Hooking up the junction box will require ring terminals # 44-5310A, and wire # 12-1-1 to run to each light, and you can use rocker switch # PK34308 to turn them on and off. Your...

• Rewiring Boat Trailer for 7-Way to Use LED Lights
  There are a number of things you will need if you want to re-wire your boat trailer to use LED lights and you should start with Junction Box # 3375601100 and 7-Way # HM20041. Keep in mind you will also need Ring Terminals # 44-5310A and Loom Clamps # A0500 For LED lights I highly recommend checking out the LED Trailer Tail Light # STL57RB (Driver's side) and # STL56RB (Passenger's side). These are submersible lights with a total of 40 diodes and have mounting holes that are 2" center to...
