Recommended Junction Box Installation For LED Lighting And Break Away Kit
Question:
I would like to upgrade my 1981 Miley 2 Horse bumper pull trailer with LED lights and redo some of the wire. I would like to use a Junction Box. 4 of my side markers only turn on when the headlights are turned on so Im not sure where to wire them into the Junction Box. I already purchased my LED lights from you guys. I just need to know if this Junction Box will work and what wire I should buy. I currently have a Bargman Breakaway switch and need to know how to wire that into the Junction Box. Thanks in advance.

I'm happy to help. You can use the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit # HS381-9000 to connect your trailer lighting. You can use the attached diagram to help you with color and function on the trailer side. I recommend using the 12 Gauge Black Primary Wire - per foot # 12-1-1. You can use ring terminals # DW05705-1 and butt connectors like # DW05745-10.
You can use 16 gauge wire like # 16-4B-1 along with ring terminals # DW05737-1 and butt connectors # DW05744-5.
Your side markers should be connected to your running light/tail marker terminal in your junction box. The breakaway battery should be wired to your 12V terminal and your break away switch should be wired to your brake controller terminal.
