How To Hook Up Reverse Lights With Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller ETBC7
Question:
I was curious why only two conductors came with this kit? How do I power the reverse wire? Seems like an incomplete kit. I bought it, installed it, then wondered after the fact how I am supposed to power my reverse lights. ETBC7

Expert Reply:
The yellow wire on the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 is for the reverse light circuit. The vast majority of applications will not use the reverse light circuit but if your trailer does have reverse lights you'll need to run a wire from the butt connector on the yellow wire to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle behind the tail lights (testing required). I usually recommend the Quick Splice Connector part # SWC502905-1 for this.
I am not sure what you are referring to as the conductor unfortunately.
