• 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...

• Troubleshooting Curt Echo Wireless C51180 Having No Lights When Installed On 2020 Toyota Highlander
  For the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 to work it needs the 12v power circuit of the 7-way connector to be active. Do you happen to know if the Mechanic ran a power wire from the 7-way connector to the battery of your 2020 Toyota Highlander? If he did not then the 12v power circuit will not be active as it is not part of the factory 4-way connector. You would need to use # 10-1-1 to go from the 7-way to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery with a 30 amp...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on 2015 Honda Pilot
  It sounds like the issue is with a ground connection, a terminal connection, or one of the relays. I recommend starting with the relays and the best way to determine if one is bad is to replace it with one you know works. Once you have determined the relays are good, then I recommend checking the plug connections on your harness. Each connection should be clean of corrosion and debris and have dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out. Then if you are still lacking...

• 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...

• Trailer Brake Lights Do Not Work When Connected have a 96 ranger with seprate turn and brake
  Whenever any type of adapter like # PK12716 is used to mate different types of connectors on the vehicle and trailer, connection problems can develop because of all the extra contact points. The best way to go is to install a new connector on the trailer that directly matches that on the tow vehicle so that you can avoid using an adapter. This is easily done by using a junction box like # 38656 and a new 7-way plug like # H20044. All you need to do is verify the function on each trailer...

• Adding LED Lights Running off Battery and Switch in Enclosed Trailers
  Are you looking for internal or external lights? We can help you with both. For internal lights a good option is part # ILL22CHB because of how bright it is. It's an 830 lumens light which is brighter than most for sure. It's a 2 wire install so connecting it to the switch won't be an issue. For the wire you can use part # 10-2-1 which is sold by the foot so you want to select 60 feet when ordering. then two of part # DW05705-1 fits the 10 gauge wire and should fit your battery. The rings...

• How to Extend Short Ground Wire on 4-Pole Wishbone Harness
  Wishbone 4-pole harnesses like # A35W42B, # A20WB, # W002230 and # A10-4225VP usually do have a short ground wire because most trailer frames are steel and they conduct well enough that a ground wire attached near the tongue will provide sufficient ground even for lights mounted all the way at the back of the trailer. On the other hand if you have an aluminum frame trailer that does NOT conduct electricity nearly as well as a steel frame then you might need to extend that 2- or 3-foot...

• Ring Terminal Butt Connector Availability
  I really wish we did, but the largest ring terminal wire gauges we carry is 10 gauge like the part # 44-5310A for a 3/16 inch ring diameter, # 44-5356A for a 5/16 ring diamter, or a part # DW05705-1 for a 3/8 inner diameter. For an excellent airtight and waterproof sealant for your wiring connections I would recommend the Deka Self-Fusing Auto Tape # DW04367.

• Installing a Brake Controller Onto a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Without Factory Tow Package
  I can help you install a brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee. For Brake Controller recommendations, I really like the # 90195. This brake controller is a proportional controller, which means whatever pressure you press the tow vehicle's brakes it will apply the same pressure and intensity to the trailer's brakes. It also has a customizable full display screen which provides you with full error messages instead of codes that need to be deciphered. First thing...

• Converting 4-Flat to 7-Way on 2005 Toyota Sienna to Use Prodigy RF Trailer Mounted Brake Controller
  If you elect to go with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, item # TK27FR, on your trailer, instead of installing a brake controller in the cab of your 2005 Toyota Sienna, you will not need all of the items and wiring in the Electronic Brake Controller Wiring Kit, # ETBC7. For the Prodigy RF to function properly all that is needed is the constant 12 volt power supply from the vehicle battery. You would need the following items: # 37185 7-Way and 4-Way adapter, plugs into your existing...

  If your intent is to have 24 volts of output, you can wire 4-12 volt batteries together. In order to connect your 4-12 volt batteries to get 24 volts of output you need some wiring and ring terminals like parts # 10-1-1 and # DW05705-1. You're going to connect your power wire to the positive post on one battery and run a wire that connects that same post to the positive post on the second battery. Then connect the negative posts on both of those batteries to the positive posts on the...

• Replacing Horse Trailer Wiring
  If you currently have a 6-way connector on your trailer, the 7-wire # DW04914-1 will be too large for your connector. In that case, you will want to use the 6-wire # DW04906-1. If your vehicle has a 7-way connector and you've been using an adapter, this is a great time to add a 7-way connector to your trailer to avoid needing the adapter. A 7-way connector is the more commonly found connector. You can use the 7-wire # DW04914-1 with a 7-way connector # PK12706, or a pre-wired connector...

• Installation of a Reverse lockout Circuit or Brake Controller on a 2000 GMC Sierra
  I believe we can help. We will need to determine whether you have a trailer with surge brakes or with electric brakes. Surge brakes on trailers are not electrically activated, they are activated by the pressure created between the vehicle and trailer when the vehicle slows. Many times surge brake couplers have an electric lockout, so the trailer can be backed without applying the brakes. This electrical connection is spliced into the vehicles backup light circuit so the lockout is activated...

• Upgrading Big Tex #35SA Trailer With Brakes
  It sounds like your Big Tex trailer did not come with brakes. Based on this, to convert your trailer with no brakes, to adding electric brakes, on your Big Tex 35SA trailer, the first thing you need is a left and right brake kit. You could use the Dexter 23-26-27 kit (includes left and right) which matches your Dexter axle 4” X 4” brake flange. However, for a little more I would recommend Dexter # 23-468-469 Nev-R-Ajust self adjusting brake kit. Most people do not want to have to periodically...

• Parts Needed to Add Second Battery and 12V Outlets to Bed of Chevy Silverado
  To add an additional battery in your 2002 Chevy Silverado I recommend adding the Redarc Smart Start Isolator # 331-SBI12D in-line between the truck's start battery and the auxiliary battery. This will transfer power in either direction to maintain the charge on both batteries. Then to add 12V outlets to the bed you can use the Roadmaster # RM-9332 and run the wiring up to the Silverado's battery using 12 gauge wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot), butt connectors # 05732-2, a 12 gauge fuse...

• Parts Needed to Rewire Trailer Brakes to Junction Box
  The only parts you need is the wiring, butt connectors # 05732-2, and ring terminals # DW05705-1. The wires coming from the brakes do not have polarity so either can be used as the ground or power wires. Depending on how you have the brakes grounded you can run individual wires using # 10-1-1. We also have 2 wires jacketed together, part # 10-2-1. This may be an easier solution. Both are sold by the foot.

• Which Size Circuit Breaker Is Needed For Tekonsha Primus IQ In 1996 Chevrolet Suburban
  Thanks for the kind words! Starting with the # ETBC7, you are right on that you will connect the factory run blue and orange wires to the 7-way connector, and will connect them to the studs on the fuse box of your 1996 Chevrolet Suburban using the # DW05705-1 and # 185917. The 30 amp fused post will be fine to connect the orange 12v power wire to. You will need to add a grommet to the firewall to get the factory blue brake output wire to the trailer brake controller. We used the # SWC8057...

• Curt Echo Brake Controller LED Indicator Not Illuminated While Towing Skyline Aljo Camper
  By trying the trailer on different vehicles and having a different result, you have effectively eliminated the Curt # C51180 Echo as being the problem (good job!) The Echo depends on getting 12-volts from the pin in the 1:00 position in the 7-way trailer connector. With the igntion on, you should be getting 12-volts on that pin. If not, there are a few things that could be causing the problem. The 7-way could be internally corroded, preventing the signal from getting through. Find the...

• What Gauge Wiring Comes on the 12 Inch AKEBRK-7-SA Brakes?
  The wiring on the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA will be 10 to 12 gauge. I prefer the Deka 10 gauge # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) paired with the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 to complete the install. As a side note, with both wires being black, either can be the power wire. It is always a good idea to ground each wire that is not used to its own specific source as well. The Ring Terminal - 3/8" Ring...

  We have a complete vent installation kit # 344270KITW that includes hardware, butyl rubber tape and tubes of sealant to make your new vent installation secure and watertight. This install kit will work great with any 14 x 14 standard vent such as the manual model # V2092SP-29 or a 12V powered unit such as the MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe # MA00-07500K. You will need to make an opening in your trailer roof that is just slightly larger than the vent; a 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 opening is ideal. It will...

• Adding Interior and Exterior Work Lights to Livestock Trailer
  Considering how you'll likely be using this, if you don't already have an auxilliary battery on your trailer, you'll need to add one. You'll want a 12v battery, which can be sourced from a number of different places, but I recommend something that can at least handle around 50 amp hours. This eliminates the chance that you run your vehicle battery down and get stranded somewhere, in addition to straining that battery and creating the need for replacing it much sooner than you normally would...

  I will be glad to help you out with that. You have the Primus Brake Controller, part # TK90160 so that is taken care of. If you have a 4-way connector on your vehicle you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller, part # ETBC7. This will connect to your 4-way connector and with additional wiring give you both a 4-way and a 7-way connector. I have attached a link to an installation video that shows a brake controller and the # ETBC7 controller being installed...

• Using Battery Charger Included With HM39530 Brake Buddy When Negative Battery Cable is Disconnected
  We've got a solution for you. You'll want to use a Deka Quick Disconnect Battery Terminal, part # DW05312. On the terminal end that remains on the battery once disconnected, you'll attach the ground wire for the charger using a # DW05705-1 ring terminal. This leaves the charger grounded once the negative battery terminal is disconnected. I've provided a photo showing where to place the ring terminal.

• Replacing Wiring on Old Livestock Trailer with Electric Brakes
  To replace the wiring in your old livestock trailer and install a 7-Way connector to use with your tow vehicles, I recommend using a 7-Way harness like the Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20046. When installing the connector and harness on the trailer, you will want to use a junction box # 38656 and 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), which will help protect the connection points and also give the installation a more professional look. The 10 gauge wire will be needed...
