Wire For Trailer Lights & Electric Trailer Brakes
Question:
Hi. I have a 16 ft trailer with electric brakes. Do you have wiring for the trailer lights and brakes? My truck has a 7 pin connection.

Expert Reply:
We do indeed have wiring for trailer lights as well as electric trailer brakes. For the brakes you'll want 10 gauge wire, and for lights, 16 gauge wire, which you can get by the foot. To make the connections, the most secure way is by heat shrink butt connectors, so what you can use is the following:
- Deka Jacketed 2-Wire, 10 Gauge Brake Wire - per Foot # 10-2-1
- Primary Wire - 16-Gauge - Black - per Foot # 16-1-1
- Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - Qty 5 # DW05745-5 or Qty 10 # DW05745-10
- Heat Gun # ALL836717
Then if you also need a junction box, use Junction Box # 3375601101.
