Video Transcript for Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector with Jacketed Cable Review
Hey, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the west bar jacketed four pole trailer connection. So the one that we have right here is about 14 foot in length, but we're also gonna have a 10 foot, an eight foot and a four foot. It's all gonna have a 14 gauge wire on the inside. And the diameter of this jacket is gonna be about 0.4 of an inch. So now all of these trailer wearings come with jackets.
This is just gonna look a little bit cleaner, but it does have a nice little shape to it. So a little bit bigger down here. So whenever you are pulling it off, one, it gives you plenty of room to be able to wrap around it. And since it's a little bit bigger here, it's gonna be kind of easier to pull it out. If you want the easiest four-pole that is the easiest to disconnect from the other side, the Hopkins has an easy pole, which just has a little circle right here.
And that's probably gonna be the only one that's a little bit easier, but it does not come with this jacket. I really like the jacket just because it's gonna protect it and looks a lot easier. And since we're using a junction box, it makes for a really, really easy and clean connection. So if you follow us down, we basically go on the inside of this tube, all the way to our junction box which is right up here by the trailer. So we're gonna have four different wires that come in here cause it's a four pole.
So if you follow me, we'll so you exactly what it looks like in the junction box, just because I like the junction boxes, they're a little bit cleaner. And if you're adding six accessories and stuff like that, it'll make a nice clean spot to be able to know exactly where everything's going. So we have the jacketed side of our trailer connection going through our junction box and we're gonna have four different wires. So we're gonna have our yellow, which is gonna be our left turn signal and our brake lights. We're gonna have our green is gonna be right.
And our brake lights, we're gonna have white, which is gonna be our ground. And then we're gonna have our brown as well, which is just gonna be your running lights, your taillights and everything else like that, including your license plate lights. So all of these kind of go in here and if you do want to grab a junction box, we do have these here at etrailer. These are just pretty much the cleanest way to wire up your trailer. The only thing that I would add to this is just a little dust cover just because it's gonna be exposed. So if you don't have a great place to put it, I mean, some people just kind of hide it underneath here, but it's not gonna be protected. So there is a dust cover specifically for this and I do recommend that you get. So now that everything's good, it is really smart to check and make sure it works before you button everything up. So we just have a little test box here. This is gonna mimic hooking up to our vehicle. So now as you can see, we do have some lights and stuff turning on. So we have everything turned on, but we're gonna test the functions. So let's start with the right turn signal. Then we're gonna go to the left. And then we want to make sure that our brake lights are working, which everything is good. So once you go through all those checks, you can button everything up and we're pretty much done with the install. If you already have your trailer and it's not really that clean when it comes to wiring and you don't really plan on putting a junction box in, all you're really gonna need to do is just grab some 14 gauge wire and some heat shrink butt connectors. And I would get some loom and we also have some loom hangers. So you're gonna run all this all the way back on the underside of your trailer, if you get on the inside of the tube, great. But a tube doesn't really work that well because it's a lot of tube, it's a lot of wire to fish through there. So you have everything that you need to hook up your trailer regardless of what kind of setup you plan on going for. Whether you go with the junction box or not, we're gonna have to run these wires back to our lights. And as you can see, we have a nice clean look. We got some loom, we got some holders. And then of course we got some lights. If you guys need lights, we've got those too, but the cleaner, the better when it comes to my trailer. So if you really want to make it nice and clean, we have everything you need to do that. All in all, I'm a fan of this one just because it has the thick little casing on the outside. And it just looks a little bit better, it matches my trailer. But if you are looking for one that's gonna be a little bit easier to pull apart, the Hopkins has one that just has a little circle on the inside, which we went over before. That one's gonna be a little bit easier, but this is pretty much checking all the boxes when it comes to trailer connections, and that is gonna do it for our look at the west bar jacketed four pole trailer connection..

This 4-wire flat, trailer-end connector includes a 4' long, jacketed cable with stripped, color-coded wires for easy installation.by: Herb H11/08/2023
Heavy duty plug that has a good snug fit and I like the jacketed cord that provides strength and extra protection.
by: Brian B09/30/2014
I have been very pleased with etrailer orders recently. Everything shows up when expected and products are as expected. Attached are a couple before and after pictures of my recent project to add lights to a cargo rack per my wife's request. Thanks for the professionalism of all at trailer
by: Cresean08/14/2018
Delivery was quick and electeical was just what I was looking for.
Was able to mount bracket to hitch and running the wiring was easy with it all color coded.
The single sheathed trailer plug was also what I was looking for and priced below anywhere else.
Was very industrial and was almost an exact match to replace the existing one on
my triton trailer.
by: Paul03/20/2021
This is a great replacement trailer light 4-prong connector. The wires are wrapped in an insulation cover and the connection itself is rugged and well-made. This is the one to buy.

Exactly as advertised fixed old connector that was worn out
by: Max 12/29/2021
Just what I needed. Just went to etrailer looked it up had it in a couple of days. No stress. etrailer is the best. My go to place for anything for my trailers!
by: Norm C06/08/2017
The spring loaded connector cover on my 2014 Ram pickup was pressing so hard on my 4 prong plugs that it was breaking the conductors inside the insulation, right at the entry to the connector. I switched to using the 7 prong socket and bought a 7 - to - 4 - pole adaptor. As added insurance I added these heavy duty connectors with heavy gauge wire pigtails. Great quality on these, and a nice 4 foot pigtail clad in heavy rubber to protect from sun and other damage. Bought 2, and will be buying 4 more from etrailer for my other trailers. Fast ship from etrailer, too.

Great quality and heavy duty wire. Ive bought 6 of these and Im replacing all of my trailer plugs as time permits.
by: Ed from Chico06/07/2015
This four pin harness is heavy duty and the quality is very good. I needed to upgrade the 47 year old harness on my trailer which had multiple splices and the extra length of this product was enough to get rid of the old wiring. Looks really nice and professional. And I still can not get over the customer service and promptness when dealing with etrailer.....you guys are great, keep up the good work!!! Don't forget to order the mounting clamps to complete the installation.

Been using this harness now for about a year and it has held up well.....still flexible and pins are sturdy. It is a pleasure to use compared to the old cheepo wiring that came with the trailer :
by: Jimmy01/29/2018
I bought this to replace the one that came on my boat trailer. This is a good quality cable and molded connector. I'm sure that if I am careful with it , that it will last for as long as i need it. I have bought a number of items from etrailer and have yet to be disappointed. Good stuff, good service.

Looks like it did when I installed it, good stuff. Much better than what came on it from the factory. Well pleased.
by: Woody 09/26/2022
Thanks guys for offering the best answer to repairing the front end of trailer wire harness with quality not just the flimsy harnesses on the open market. just wish I could find you closer.
by: Tall Paul07/31/2015
This product is perfect for use on utility/other trailers as it is far superior and much more durable and rugged than "plain" flat four-wire, so it will hold up much better to repeated use and weather.
Paul B.

Installed the quality product in prep for future car tow. Insulation on cable is far superior to flat wire, which helps protect the wires in harsh environments, be it under hood for towing car as dingy, or perfectly suitable for utilityother trailers using 4-wire connections.

I really cannot grade the product as I never got to use it. The trailer where the wiring harness was needed ended up being in worse condition than I thought and got recycled. As far as customer service, you were great.
by: James06/09/2019
Replacement plug is working great. The sheath cover over the actual wires should make it last along time. Easy install with heat shrink connectors I had on hand. great product at a great price. Thank you James.
by: Robben06/05/2020
Trailer connector was installed with waterproof splices. So fay every time I plug it in it works, its when I unplug it that it stops works. totally baffled by this. Will have to leave it plugged in every time I use it.
by: Marty A10/06/2015
Wesbar plugs are great quality. They snap together and stay connected. The pins are molded into the plug, very durable. The wire cover is heavy duty.I will definitely buy Wesbar plug harnesses again. Mike at etrailer provides great customer service. He helped me with a fender order that had the wrong picture on the web site. He reshipped the correct fender the day we spoke on the phone and rushed it to me . Thanks again Mike for your help and great customer service. That is what keeps me coming back again & again.
by: George D.04/06/2015
This is a great product that I wish knew existed years ago. I have wired many trailers and the connection will last for many years due to the fact that the connector is molded into the actual harness instead of having 4-5 loose wires that seems to take a beating and break.
by: Robert M06/19/2017
High-quality piece. I chose this connector over the cheaper alternatives because it looked sturdy and the wires are covered. Due to the condition of the previous connector the covered wires for my boat trailer were the way to go. I was able to install this with no problems and it works great! Also, the length was a big upside and I can make left turns with the trailer without worrying that the connector is going to pull out!
by: Page G.09/23/2016
Perfect in every respect. Integrated into a Honda Civic wiring harness for Break llight, LT, RT, and running lights.
by: Norman03/26/2018
I bought two of these previously and liked them so much that I bought 3 more. 16 gauge wire is way heavier than most trailer plugs/harnesses come with, plus the plugs are heavier duty and the cable is clad in heavy rubber for protection. I would buy more but I only have 5 trailers at the moment.
by: RonC.07/11/2016
Quality of trailer wire connecter was beyond expectancy. I'll be buying all my boat trailer items from you! Note-my boat-buddy is working fine, thanks for helping me with my orders, and your friendly personality Emily. The super fast delivery is
greatly appreciated too!

I have ordered a couple things from etrailer.com com now. I set them up in my browser favorites as my "Go To" trailer parts. I am not sure how big of a company it is, but the personal customer service is exceptional. In addition to just overall service, the product itself is exactly what you should expect it to be. Every item I have order as been perfect without defects. I have not found any other sites with service like this. Thanks George.

Item was as described. Heavy duty shielded cable and wiring. Very happy with purchase and communication.

- Adapter to Connect Trailer 7-Way to 2019 Honda CR-V With 4-WaySince you don't plan on using other functions of the 7-way and only want to use the 4-way functions of the trailer wiring on your 2019 Honda CR-V all you have to do is add an adapter, the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole # 37185. You can simply plug this into your 4-way and tie off the remaining wires as you will not be using those functions. The only thing I'm not certain about is where you will mount it as we aren't familiar with the factory hitches and I was unable to find an image of where...
view full answer... - Recommended Strobe Warning Light To Use While Snow PlowingWe do offer strobe warning beacon lights, and some are battery powered while others can be wired to a connector and used with your vehicle trailer connector. I recommend a light like part # STR16JP. This light has a 2-wire system with black being the ground and the red wire is positive. Since you want to use your trailer connector to operate the light you can wire this light to a 4-way connector like part # W787264. You would attach the black wire from the light to the white wire on the...
view full answer... - Wiring In Trailer 4-Way to Trailer with White, Brown, Yellow/Beige and Green/Beige WiresYour trailer wiring is pretty standard in colors so it would be pretty easy to wire up a standard 4-way to it. The colors would mainly match but where you have a yellow/beige you'd just run the solid yellow to it and the green/beige would get the solid green ran to it.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Harness Installation in 2014 Dodge Avenger R/TSince you have had your wiring harness installation tested with a circuit tester and have found it to carry the appropriate lighting signals from your 2014 Avenger, the issue is almost certainly within the trailer's wiring. Inspect the trailer connector for any signs of corrosion. The contacts do not have to appear rusty or deteriorated to have a corrosion issue; even slight greenish or whitish discoloration can indicate mild corrosion that can interfere with signal transmission. Clean...
view full answer... - Wire Gauge Recommendation to Power 20 LED Trailer Clearance LightsLED lights don't typically draw very much amperage, but since you will be installing 20 of them on one circuit the best option is to use a heavier gauge wire like 10 gauge part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot). With 10 gauge wire you could run all of the wires in series so that you wouldn't have to run a ground wire for each light back to the junction box. So basically you'd take the running light circuit power wire and run it to the first light's power wire, and then use the ground wire of...

- Can Trailer Lighting Be Grounded to Main Ground WireIf you wanted to run a ground wire from each of the assemblies to the main ground wire of the trailer wiring you certainly could. 14 or 16 gauge wire would work well too since LED lights do not draw that much amperage.
view full answer... - Recommendations for Converting a Pop Up Trailer 6-Way to a 4-WayIf your trailer is a Jayco you could pretty easily use a 4-way to 6-way round adapter # A10-6034VP and the 6-way round to 6-way square adapter # HM47415. If the brand of your trailer is different then your best bet would be to cut off the 6-way of the trailer and wire up a 4-way to the circuits. For a 4-way you could use a Wesbar 4-Pole Connector # W787264. You will need to determine what the wiring of your trailer is and then wire those circuits to the 4-way accordingly. You could use...
view full answer... - What Replacement 4-Way Plug do You Recommend to Work with My Trailer? We definitely have the replacement you need! The most common reason for the 6-wire setup you have with your 4-way pictured is if you link the trailer's clearance lights with the turn signals. However, whatever the case my be, you should use the same wiring setup with the current plug and attach the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable - Trailer End # W787264.

- Oval Trailer Light for Use on the Back of a 2016 Ford F-250If you want the light to plug into a 4-Way flat connector on your 2016 Ford F-250 then I do not recommend # STL211RB because it has a reverse light function and the reverse light circuit is not carried in the 4-Way. I recommend flange mount light # STL78RB which does have stop, tail, and turn signal functions. Keep in mind that trailer lights only have 1 input for turn signals so if you were to wire in that corresponding wire to the green and yellow wires on a trailer side 4-Way then the...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Trailer End 4-Pole Trailer Connector PigtailWe sure do, I'd use a heavy duty plug with jacketed cable like part # W787264 from Wesbar. The heavy duty 4-pole plug is easy to grasp and the heavy duty cable helps eliminate the weak point of the harness, where the wiring attaches to the plug. I used one of these connectors for the 5 years I had my PWC trailer, and it worked great. You might also be interested in a junction box like part # 38656. A junction provides a secure location for your wiring connections so they'll be protected...

If you for some reason have a tailgate light bar without built-in trailer connector, you should be able to add one using something like the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector part # W787264. If this wasn't what you were looking for please just let me...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement 4-Way Connector For 1960 TrailerWe do offer flat 4-way trailer connectors. I recommend the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable, part # W787264. You would need to cut the connector off of your trailer and test the wires on the trailer for function using a 12-volt power source and a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. I recommend using a junction box like part # 38656, to protect the wiring. For ring terminals I recommend part # DW05702-1 for 14-16 gauge wires and part # 44-5310A for 10-12 gauge wires. I...
view full answer... - Can 4-Way With 4 Wires Replace Wishbone 4-WayYes, you can replace your wishbone 4-way (which is what the 4-way with five wires is called) with a standard 4-way, the Wesbar # W787264. You will need to connect # 16-1-1 wiring to the running light wire at the tail light, and then secure it to the trailer frame across the frame to the opposite side tail light to add that running light function.
view full answer... - 4-Way Recommendation for Roadmaster Magnetic Tow Lights part # RM-2120 for Connect to Tow VehicleThe Roadmaster Magnetic Tow Lights part # RM-2120 that you referenced will work for you, but you will need to also purchase and wire a 4-way like part # W787264 to the blunt cut wires of the # RM-2120. The 4-way you described on the # RM-2120 plugs in to the 4-way of the light assemblies, and then the wire of that 4-way is left without a connector so that you can wire it up to match the connector of your tow vehicle. In your case you would just need to wire up the # W787264 to it and you...

view full answer... - Creating Adapter to Go From 7-Way Round to 4-Way FlatThe 7-way round connector is odd as it typically means the vehicle has the stop lights and turn signals on separate circuits which is the opposite of what trailer wiring has so you'd need to come up with an adapter since there isn't one ready-made. If this is the case you can build an adapter using the part # RM-732 as a signal converter. You will need a round pin male connector, # PK11702 and then the part # W787264 for a 4-way. Basically you will be splicing the converter between these...

If you have a 7 pole you can get this 8 foot long 7 pole wiring # H20046. Whenever wires get cut, I am weary about patching it up as it could cause other problems in the future. I would much rather replace the whole harness.

It looks like your trailer wiring has 3 separate grounds and 3 separate running lamp circuits for some reason. This is kind of a strange setup, but if everything worked fine beforehand, there really wouldn't be any need to change that at this point. Your suspicion is correct, I don't believe all those wires will fit in there either. For...

- How To Replace 4-Way Flat On Trailer That Has 7 Wires To ItWhen a 4 flat connector on a trailer has 7 wires it usually means it either has extra grounds or extra tail light wires. Most likely if the extra wires are white then it is ground, if they are brown then they are most likely 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. Touch one end of the jumper wire to the positive post of the battery, the touch the other end of the wire to all of the different wires to...

For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector # W787264.

The Hopkins part # HM48240 that you referenced is a similar 20-foot harness.

The white (ground) is a 16 gauge wire. Typically 18 or 16 gauge wire is sufficient to run trailer lights, especially when you use LEDs since they draw much less power than incandescent bulbs.

From the picture you attached it looks like these two wires were molded to the turn/brake signal wires (yellow and green), most likely to ease the process of running them down the length of the trailer. When wiring your new 4-Way you will need to peel back/separate both brown wires and connect them both to the running lights pin, being sure not to also connect...
