Can 4-Way Flat Be Wired to Tow Vehicle that Also Has 4-Way Round
Question:
I have a tow truck that has a 4 pin round male and a set of tow lights that use the 4 pin flat. Also, we would like the option to use a towed trailers lights by plugging into the truck. We bought a 4 pin round to 4 pin flat but discovered that one pine is a larger diameter than the other 3 and the female end we bought does fit.

Hey Melissa, I would just hardwire in a 4-way flat to your current wiring like with the part # 18252 to give you a standard 4-way in addition to the 4-way round. Trying to find the right adapter is probably going to be really difficult as it sounds like you have something somewhat unique.
