What is Needed to Clean 7-Way
Question:
Is there a brush for cleaning the truck half - of a trailer light connector. The common 7 wire RV connector. Also is there a brush for the trailer half? Although I can change this part. Thanks

Expert Reply:
There isn't a specific tool to clean the 7-way connectors, but some simple household items will work. For example, use some pipe cleaner and white vinegar and that should get the job done. If you do have to replace your 7-way on the trailer side you can use # H20043. And to avoid corrosion and dirt build-up in your connectors I very highly recommend always using Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755.
