Review of Deka Wiring - 12-10 Gauge Butt Connectors - DW05745-10 Video

Although I don't know the exact colors that you need to attach to specific functions on your 7-Way, you can take a circuit tester like part #PTW2993 to figure out which wire carries which function and then connect them using the attached…

I believe you almost solved the problem when you swapped the wiring, but in reality you needed to use 10 gauge wire like part #10-1-1 (sold by the foot). You are experiencing a voltage drop due to the long distance of wire that's not thick…

Yes they are! The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly #23-180 (Left Hand) and #23-181 (Right Hand) are made in the USA; the accompanying photo is from one of these assemblies with the "Made in U.S.A." sticker on it. These electric brake…

It should be getting close to 12 volts if the power output is set to the maximum on the brake controller. Some brake controllers will not work properly if they are titled or turned to the side or if it has a leveler knob that is not level. Check…

The Deka 22-18-gauge butt connector 10-pack, part #DW05743-10, already has built-in heat shrink tubing on the connectors so it is not necessary to add it. If you want to add an additional layer of protection from moisture and other contaminants you…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Yes, what you described is very common and would work well. The part #HM47210 that you referenced can have it's 12 volt power circuit wire ran to a trailer battery that is powering an electric tongue jack. People do this all the time and it works…

This isn't the first time I've heard of this type of issue. It sounds like the functions of your trailer wiring are not synced with your truck. Because you have used two trucks, the issue appears to be with the trailer. I've attached a…
