How To Convert Escapade Elite Motorcycle Trailer From 6-Pole to 4-Pole
Question:
I have a HD Trike with a flat 4 pin connector. I have an Escalade Elite motorcycle trailer Originally pulled by a 2006 Goldwing that has a flat 6 pin connector. It resembles a flat 4 pin connector with 2 additional pins in the second line up. I believe the 2 additional pins might be used to provided power to the remote trunk lock/unlock function and a interior light. Is there a way to convert the trailer connector to a flat 4 pin?

Expert Reply:
The best option for you to be able to pull your trailer is to remove the trailer connector on the trailer and replace this as there isn't any sort of adapter. If the trailer has combined stop/turn lights then you can use the Quick Fix 4 Pole Flat Trailer End part # HMC20031 which doesn't require any tools. If the trailer doesn't have combined stop/turn lights then you will need the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter part # 118158 in addition to the Quick Fix 4 Pole Flat Trailer End part # HMC20031.
