Video Transcript for 20 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Feature Review

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Optronics 20 foot long Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness. Now this 4-way trailer wiring harness will install on your trailer and connects to your tow vehicle to control your trailer light functions. This one we call a wishbone-style harness 'cause it's designed to have two brown taillight wires, one for each side of the trailer, that'll split for simple wiring of your trailer. This will allow you to run wires separately down each side of the trailer to your taillights without needing a jumper wire.

If you notice the ground wire on this with the eyelid on it, is the white wire that has 30 inch length to it. We mentioned the total wire harness length is 20 feet, and the wires are color coded, so that'll help with installation. We mentioned the white is your ground. The brown, there's two of 'em, one for each side, those are your tail lights, and then you'll notice the brown right here. If we do the brown and the yellow side, that's for your driver's-side stop and turn, and this one here is the brown and the green wire, which is your passenger-side stop and turn.

So you just run those down each side, driver's side and passenger side, and you don't have to run a jumper wire in between. But that should do it for the review on the Optronics 20 foot long Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness.

Everything that was needed !

Easy to handle and adjust to trailer design.

Thank you

Good description of product. Fast shipping.



by:

fast shipping, great product, just what I needed



by:

Right on the money and lightening fast delivery.



by:

Nice produce decent price. I bought two, and which I bought a third for a spare.



by:

Wire strands are separate entire length. Fitting is molded precisely and fits together snugly enough you know it will not come out.



by:

Product as described. Amazingly fast shipping. Ordered Monday morning received Tuesday morning. This was with the cheapest shipping option too! They definitely have all my business for any of my trailer needs.



by:

Outstanding quality product with terrific service. I was very satisfied with the whole process. This is a much better product than the cheap junk you find at a big box (if you can find it). I couldn't find anything in the stores with the ground wire built in. All were just four-wire connectors.



by:

This wiring setup was a direct replacement for the wiring of my 8x4 utility trailer (10 year old "Kit" trailer from Harbor Freight tools) . The product was received within 3 business days of ordering. etrailer customer service was very helpful and ensured that I ordered the correct wiring setup and the product worked perfectly! Thanks

Ground wire really needs to be longer; I ended up splicing it so it would reach the body of the trailer. I suppose you could mount it closer to the coupler but that would entail drilling a new hole which I didn't want to do.

But the specs told you 30 inch ground. How can you give a bad review because you cant read?????



by:

Just what I needed for my home-built bike carrier. My wife rides an e-tricycle and by the time I loaded the trike and a couple of bikes on this platform, you could not see the car's taillights or blinkers. This harness worked perfectly!



by:

Used this to rewire a 6 x 10 trailer. Inserted the wire through 3 feet of metal conduit to keep it from being damaged near the coupling. So now the only exposed wire is the ¼ inch right at the connector.



by:

It's a simple item but try to find it somewhere else as a stand alone product.
I've used etrailer before with great results and this was no exception. Let's be honest, if you've been to the site once, you're coming back!
I have a 5 x 12 utility trailer that has good lights but the wiring was a disaster. The harness connector had been patched and there were at least 5 splices throughout the lines. It was nice to lay out the new harness, make the light connections, tack everything up and out of harms way (there's an idea) and my lights work like new. I like the ground fastens under the jack bolt. Saves drilling a screw in (see the baby hole?) Good to feel safe on the road again. As easy and inexpensive as it was, I don't know why I waited so long.



by:

Works good, seem to be of good quality.



by:

Exactly what I was looking for. Only place I could find an exact match.



by:

After trying to spice wires with other kits I found ETRAILER made a order got in just a couple days and had it wired hassle free this is a great product and I even order another one for my boat trailer and a easy plug kit for my jeep!! Will continue to use ETRAILER in the future!!



by:

Just best best way to wire up my trailer and others.



by:

Higher quality than most



by:

Good product, even though it's fairly simple a picture with directions for which wires go where would be helpful!



by:

Just rewired a cargo trailer I bought that the lights were always going out. Found 20 butt connectors the guy used no wonder they worked off & on. Now with two new tail lights & new wiring with a straight connection everything works like it should. Everything I have bought from etrailer has been good quality & fast shipping.

Thanks



by:

Some men, when they arrive at sixty five or above, run out and buy a fancy red sports car. I bought an old trailer that looked good and sturdy. It was very inexpensive. It needed some welding and rewiring. Luckily I have a neighbor who is an excellent welder, and the wiring was easy to find on the web and easy to install. I have gotten great pleasure using my trailer. I even thought about painting it red, but then that would look ridiculous.

Very good. Product has held up nicely

Fantastic !!!! Great product, exactly as detailed, exactly as pictured, easy ordering, and on time shipment / arrival. I have never wired a trailer before, but after watching the online video program and following the steps I was able to complete the project in a hour for a 14' boat trailer. Prior to ordering, I did a lot of price comparisons in my area and I could not beat etrailer pricing. Great product.

  • What Color Are the Brake Lights On A 4-Way Flat Plug Of Wishbone Wiring Harness?
    The brake signal is run along with the blinker on separate wires. The passenger side is normally green and carries the right turn and brake light. The driver's side is normally yellow and carries the left turn signal and brake. The remaining functions are running/tail lights on the brown wire and the ground which is the white wire. I've attached an article to assist. A wishbone harness like # A20WB will give you two brown wires so you don't need to run a jump wire from one side of...

  • Adding 7-Way And 4-Flat To 2006 Didge 2500 5.9L Diesel
    Hello Steve, thanks for getting in touch. Your best option here will be to replace the current 7-way plug. Assuming your 7-way is from the factory, you can swap it out with the Multi-Plug T-One Connector Assembly for 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 20135. This will plug in to the factory connector (pictured below) and provide you with both a 7-way and a 4 flat, allowing you access to both at once. As far as an extension for the boat trailer you can use a 4-flat harness like part #...

  • 4-Way Connector Needed to Replace 4-Way on Trailer with 6 Wires
    Since you have six wires it sounds to me like you have a double ground and a left and a right side tail light wire. If this is the case you could use a wishbone harness like the 20 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 30" Ground Wire, # A20WB, as a replacement because it has the separate left and right side tail light wires. I recommend using a spare car battery to assist with testing the trailer wires for function. You will just need to ground the negative terminal of the battery...

  • Why Does 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Have 5 Wires
    Your 4-pin/5-wire wiring harness is what is called a "wishbone" type which simply means that there are two separate running light wires, one brown and one pink. This allows a separate running light wire for each side of the trailer which saves you having to run a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other. We offer lots of wiring items just like this, such as # A35W42B, # A20WB and # A10-4225VP, which happen to use two brown wires instead of one brown and one pink. The functions...

    The 20 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style - 30" Ground # A20WB simply has two wires that connect to the running light pin of the 4-way. There isn't a 5 wire we carry in spools or by the foot, but we do carry the Bonded 4 Wire - per foot # 16-4B-1 and then you can add Primary Wire - 16-Gauge - White - per Foot # DW02359-1 for the additional running light wire. You can connect these to a 4-way flat connector using the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer...

  • Should Boat Trailer Lights Short Out When Backed Into Water
    Water and electricity don't mix well. The best recommendation I can make for you would be to unplug your trailer wiring before you back your boat trailer down the ramp and then don't plug the lights back in until the trailer has dried out thoroughly. While the trailer lights themselves can be listed as waterproof or submergible the wiring of the trailer isn't always so that is why unplugging the trailer lights is recommended. If the assemblies were ever replaced water can easily get in...

  • Can Euro 7-Pin be Replaced by American 4-Way?
    Sure, you can cut off the Euro 7-pin and add an American-style 4-way. I recommend using the Wishbone Wiring Harness # A20WB, which actually has five wires; it splits the running light wires so you do not have to run a jumper wire from tail light to tail light. You will need to do some splicing and you can use the accompanying diagram of a Euro 7-pin to see how they are typically wired. I recommend using butt connectors # DW05743-10 to connect the 20 gauge wires of the harness.

    You have a wishbone harness like # A20WB. This type of wiring harness splits the running light circuit at the trailer connector, so you don't have to run a jumper wire from taillight to taillight. The yellow/brown wire is the running light circuit for the driver side. The green/brown wire is the running light circuit for the passenger side.

  • Troubleshooting Brake Lights that Override Turn Signals of Trailer Wiring
    The problem you are experiencing is due to fact that trailer wiring is designed to have the stop lights and turn signals on the same brighter circuit of the trailer wiring and only the running lights on the lower illumination. When wiring up a trailer wiring 4-way to a vehicle that has the circuits separated you have to also install a signal converter to allow the circuits to match the trailer wiring. For that you'd just need the # RM-732 wired before the 4-way of your tow vehicle.

  • How To Wire A 4-Flat Plug On A Trailer With Two Running Light Wires
    It looks like your trailer is wired with a wishbone style harness like the # A20WB. This harness uses two brown running light wires to allow you to wire the trailer running lights without running a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other. To connect your new 4-wire plug, you will splice the two brown wires on the trailer together, and connect them to the brown wire on the 4 flat plug. Then it will simply be yellow to yellow, green to green and white for ground.

  • No Brake Lights or Turn Signals on Trailer With a 4-Way Connector With 5 Wires
    You will first want to make sure the 5 wires on the trailer plug is wired properly to the trailer. The white wire is for ground, the green wire for right turn and brake, yellow wire for left turn and brake, green with brown wire is for right side running lights, yellow with brown wire is for left side running lights. If the wiring is all correct then you will need to check the trailer connector on the truck and trailer for a ground connection issue, or a short on the tail light circuit...

  • Why Would Trailer Wiring have Two White and Brown Wires
    It's not uncommon for trailer wiring to have more than one wire for the same circuit for the ground and running light circuit. For the running light circuit (brown wire) this is to allow you an easier way to run the circuit to either side of the trailer. For the ground circuit (white wire) it's to allow for making more ground circuit connections easier since all of the circuits have to be grounded. So if your trailer has two ground wires you could run them both together and then to the...

  • Do You Have a 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Which Has 5 Wires For Connecting to Trailer Wiring?
    The only way we carry 4 flat trailer connectors which have 5 wires is on an entire trailer harness like the 20' # A20WB. This has the single yellow, green, and white wires with 2 brown wires. You can simply cut off the unneeded wiring and wire to your trailer wiring. You can still use a regular 4-Flat Connector # HM38134 and wire the 2 brown wires on your trailer to the single brown wire on the harness. This is an upgraded connector with easy pull connector and additional sheathing to protect...

  • Troubleshooting Reasons Why Boat Trailer Running Lights Are Not Working
    There are many possible reasons why the running lights are not working on your boat trailer. First, I recommend checking the ground connections. Trailer lights usually ground through the mounting studs. They will need to be attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. If you recently added a plastic license plate cover, that could also be causing the problem. You will also want to make sure that the main ground from the trailer connector is attached to a clean and corrosion...

  • Right Side Brake Lights and Turn Signal Do Not Work on the Trailer
    It sounds like your problem may be limited to just one circuit - the wire that carries the right turn signal and brake light. To begin testing, I recommend checking the vehicle side and trailer side connectors for any signs of corrosion or damage and repair as needed. If the connectors look fine, I would test the vehicle side trailer connector with a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to make sure the vehicle is sending power to the trailer (see video). I would test each pin as a helper...

It includes a 4" lift spindle for additional ground clearance and will place your hub face for your Jeep wheels 8-1/2" from the frame and the axle centerline 9-5/8" below the bottom of the frame. If this is not far away enough for your Jeep wheels and tires you will need to then use some wheel spacers to push the wheels out further. The Electric...

  • How To Wire a Truck Bed Converted to a Trailer
    In order to convert the tail lights on the truck bed to trailer tail lights you'll first need to start with a wiring harness, the 20 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # A20WB. Then, depending on whether or not the brake and turn signals are run through different bulbs/wires you may or may not need a converter, the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter part # 118158. If the signals are separate you will need the converter but if they are combined you can just hardwire in the above harness.

You can simply use electrical tape like # DW04367 to connect the new wires to the old wires with a tight wrap to give you the connection to pull the old wire from tail light end allowing the new wire to pull from the coupler end through the metal tube into position.

    There are any number of reasons that you are not getting power on the green and yellow wires.

Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the 4-Way end on the vehicle. If the power is not getting to the 4-Way that means the problem is on the vehicle side.

    Legally a trailer only needs right and left turn signals, brake lights, and running lights. The license plate light will be tied into the running light circuit. On a trailer, the turn signals and brake lights are on the same circuit on each side. So the minimum you will need is 4-wire bonded wire such as # 16-4B-1 that you have referenced. For a trailer side 4-Way you can use # A20WB and you would not need the wire by itself. This is a 20 foot length and the running light circuit is split,...
