• Recommended LED Light Bar for an Enclosed Snowmobile Trailer
  I can help you with lighting up your enclosed snowmobile trailer. I would recommend the Optronics Opti-Brite # ILL08COB. This light produces 1400 Lumens so it would be very bright. The dimensions of the lens of this light are 4 by 16-1/2 inches. If you wanted more of a bar light I would recommend the Optronics Thinline Opti-Brite LED # ILL72CB, this light has 27 diodes and puts out 513 effective lumens. This light measures 21-7/8 inches long by 1 inch wide by 5/8 inches thick. Watts...

• Wiring a Side Marker Light to the Running Light Wire on a Trailer
  You can run a jumper wire to T-off from the main running light wire to the side marker light using something like a quick splice connector, # SWC501915-1. Or you can use a butt connector, # 05732-2. In one end, place the wire from the trailer connector and in the other end insert the wire from the side marker light and the wire to the tail light. You would need to cut the brown wire at some point to wire it in this manner. And yet another option is to run the side marker wire all the...

• How Large Of Battery Can Hopkins Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger # 20011 Trickle Charge
  I contacted our representative at Hopkins and he informed me that the Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger, part # 20011 can charge batteries of different sizes, even large batteries, it will just take a bit longer. He informed me that part # 20011 will trickle charge your regular 12 volt battery just fine. If you do have the vehicle battery connected directly to the battery on trailer it will keep sending power to the battery even after the battery is charged, which could be bad for...

• How To Install a Trailer Wiring Harness to a 2011 Toyota RAV4
  You will not want to connect your trailer wiring directly to the wiring harness of your 2011 Toyota RAV4. You will need to isolate the trailer wiring from the vehicles sensitive circuitry, so it does not put a strain on the system and cause your vehicles wiring harness to be overloaded and fail. I would recommend to use the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118412. This wiring harness will plug into connectors located behind the vehicles tail lights and comes with a powered Modulite...

• How Do I Wire My Trailer For Brakes That Already Has Brakes
  What you will need to do is run a wire from the front of the trailer to each brake location. You will need 10 gauge blue primary wire, part # 10-1-1, which is sold by the foot. I would recommend measuring where you will be running the wire to order the correct amount, and it would be a good idea to order a couple extra feet so that you are not short of wiring. Start by leaving the wire loose at the front of the trailer and run to the farthest rear brake assembly on either side. Cut the...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Connection Wiring on 2013 Chevrolet Silverado
  It sounds like you are having an issue with the ground on your 7-way trailer connection. The first thing to do is use a little sand paper or steel wool and clean the connections of your 7-way. Then add some dielectric grease # 11755 to keep the connections clean and free of moisture. If that doesn't solve your ground connection, then you will simply trace the wire harness from the back side of your 7-way to find where it is physically connected to the truck frame. The white wire in...

• Wiring the 12volt Feed and Back-Up Wires to the Trailer connector on a 1995 Ford F-150
  It sounds like you have checked things out pretty good. I think you are correct in your findings, but I would use a multi-meter and a extra length of wire to make sure that the orange and black wires are ran from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Set the multi-meter to continuity and, at the front of the vehicle, connect one probe to the extra wire and the other to the orange wire. Have a helper touch the other end of the extra wire to the orange wire at the rear of the vehicle. If...

• Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 Installation in 2015 American Coach Revolution Motor Home
  Your 2015 American Coach Revolution motor home, built on a Freightliner chassis, does have a brake controller port under the dash but we do not have a quick-connect plug-in harness to connect it to a brake controller like the excellent Prodigy P3, part # 90195. You can still do a hard-wired install for your P3 by wiring the included pigtail harness to the wires leading to your under-dash port. It is a good idea to test those 4 wires, or confirm with your dealer what function each carries,...

• Recommend Brake Controller To Use With Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Unit and 2007 GMC 3500HD
  The item that you selected, Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part # 90195, will work for electric over hydraulic unit, like the Hydrastar. I would recommend using the Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller as it has digital display and can troubleshoot problems. The Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller, # 39510 and older model Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controllers are not designed to be used with electric over hydraulic brake systems. For installation of an aftermarket brake controller, you will...

• Identifying Type of Brake Wire and Connectors Used on Trailer Brakes
  The wire is likely just a version of automotive wire that is made more rigid so that it is easier to route it through tight spaces. Or it could be shielded wire or even cross-link wire. If you need some wire for electric brakes you can use # 10-1-1. The connector sounds like it might be a quick splice connector such as # SWC501915-1 also known as a Scotch Lock which is the 3M name brand.

• Will Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Converter HM48915 Operate Turn Signals In-Phase with Vehicle
  The Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Converter # HM48915 will do what you need; it will take the separate stop and turn signals from the individual lights on your 1999 Nissan Frontier and combine them onto one wire as required by typical trailer lighting systems. With this in place you could then add a set of magnetic towing lights like # TL21RK. I confirmed with my technical contact at Hopkins that this converter's turn signal output will be IN PHASE with the vehicle's turn signals. You might...

  Wiring the grounds for your tail lights and the 35 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 42 inch Ground Wire, item # A35W42B, is fairly simple. The 42 inch ground wire provided with the harness is normally attached to the trailer frame near the coupler. Doing this makes the trailer frame a convenient point to ground all of the other ground wires for your taillights and makes it possible to use lights that are grounded through the mounting hardware. This is demonstrated in our...

• How to Make a Secure 12 Volt and Ground Connection for Trailer Wiring On a 2007 GMC Sierra
  I agree that it sounds as if you have a ground issue. I would start by pulling apart the connector again and making sure the ground pin is not bent. Sometimes this can cause the problem. The next place to look is under the hood at the power distribution block. The power wire is connected to a ground stud at the front of the power distribution block, see link. Make sure the wire is tight and that the fuse for the stud is properly inserted and good. There are many ground wires and straps...

• Wiring Options for a 2009 Chrysler Aspen Towing a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connection
  Yes, the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Aspen by Chrysler, item # 118390, is the correct wiring harness for your Aspen and you will need one other item to complete the wiring to lockout the brakes on your boat trailer surge coupler. You can go one of three ways for this wiring. The easiest way in my mind is to install the # 118390 T-One and then splice the 5-Flat Vehicle End 5' Wiring Harness, item # HM37908, to the 4 like wires left by removing the 4-way vehicle end...

• Recommendations for Splicing Running Light Wires on a Tear Drop Camping Trailer
  Instead of using a quick splice connector, I recommend splicing into the wiring using a butt connector and then using some shrink tubing or liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122, to seal the connections from the elements. We have different size butt connectors like # 05732-2 for 12 to 10 gauge wires and # 05731-5 for 16 to 14 gauge wires. You will want to be careful when adding lights to a trailer. If you add too many lights, it could be too much power draw on the tow vehicle electrical...

• Is Function of Blue Wire on 5-Way Connector, Part # 20017, For Reverse and How to Wire To 7-way
  The blue wire will connect to the reverse light circuit on the tow vehicle, but it will also send a signal to disengage the brake actuator on the trailer when you put your vehicle in reverse. So when you are in reverse, the trailer brakes will not be engaged. You would need a 7-way adapter like Adapter 7 Pole to 5 Pole Flat, part # A75TB. To wire the reverse lights on your trailer, you would need to connect the power wire from the trailer reverse lights, to the blue wire on the 5-way...
