Tapping Into Running Light Circuit for Deck Lights
Question:
If Im running new lights on a flat deck car hauler with all new wire. The 7 way plug I have is an rv type. I dont have brakes installed yet so all I have are the turn, brake light, and running lights. What Is the best way to splice the lights for the running lights?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Using the running light circuit from the trailer wiring of your vehicle would work to power the running lights. You could use butt connectors # 224775 to do this. You'd have to cut the running light circuit ran to the 7-way and then use the one end of it to reconnect the circuit and then on the other end you could run the new light circuits.
