Pollak Wiring PK52248 Review Video

The correct way to wire your breakaway battery, like the Hopkins Engager #20400, is to have the black wire from the battery connected to the 12V power on your trailer, and then the blue wire to your breakaway switch which, in turn, connects to the…

Aluminum trailer frames or bodies can cause grounding issues so I suggest using a separate ground wire that runs from the rear of the trailer up to the main ground post in the junction box like #38656. You can join the ground wires for the individual…

I think I understand what you're asking. On the towed vehicle side of the connection, you should indeed have the #HM48503 connector you're using grounded to the vehicle's frame. I've provided a wiring diagram showing how the…

We do have the Hopkins Trailer Connector tester part #HM50928 which will allow you to plug your trailer's 7-way into it and test all of the circuits easily. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.

That is definetly unusual for all of the lights on the Hopkins 7-Way #HM48503 to be on at the same time, as that would mean that power is getting sent to all of the pins on your vehicles 7-way connector at the same time. Since there are no lights…

First you will need to determine if the problem is on your vehicle or your trailer. You can test this by using the Circuit Tester #PTW2993. This will allow you to test your trailer connector for voltage in the correct places when the taillight…

A breakaway battery won't have the amperage to power an electric jack most likely and even if it could you really need to keep the breakaway battery fully charged at all times so that in emergency situation when needed it will be able to do…

The trailer jack should very much NOT be powered by the breakaway battery. That was likely done by the previous owner for convenience. The breakaway battery is a dedicated battery for the breakaway system only. It needs to be able to apply the…

My suspicion is that you have a poor ground connection somewhere on your trailer. The fact that everything works fine until the running lights are turned on is the dead giveaway. When the tail lights are turned on, the trailer lighting is drawing…

In regards to the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery part #3802308, the red wire from the breakaway battery box goes to the battery charge line circuit also known as the twelve volt power supply on the…

When a trailer's tail light remains on when the vehicle is shut off, this usually indicates some kind of short in the wiring. I first recommend using a circuit tester like #PTW2993 to check the vehicle side connector. You will want to see if…

That is correct. Your 2017 Ford F-150 does not need an adapter when converting trailer wiring from incandescent to LED. I attached a page that has all of the LED trailer taillights we offer.
