Using butt connectors such as # 05731-5 is probably the fastest way to connect wires. Using a heat shrink butt connector such as # DW05744-5 would be a better, longer lasting connection. The white ground wire will need to secure to the trailer frame using a self tapping screw like # FA1131822.

You can power the winch off of a battery on your trailer that is connected to the 7-way on your Ram 3500. The 12v wire on the 7-way will keep your battery charged. If you end up running the winch off of one of your truck batteries I recommend adding…

Answer 11

Electric winches should have a direct connection to a battery for power. The wiring in a trailer connector, like a 7-Way, and an adapter like #HM47675, is not a heavy enough gauge to effectively power a winch. Also, the farther away from the power…

Answer 12

First, the wiring on a trailer connector can provide a maintenance charge to a 12 volt battery on a trailer but it will not be able to fully charge it. The 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way is already circuit protected so a separate fuse or breaker should…
