This Old Trailer: Replacing a 6-Pole Connector

Video Transcript for This Old Trailer: Replacing a 6-Pole Connector

Today on This Old Gooseneck Trailer we are going to install part number PK11604 from Pollak. This is their 6-pole connector and we are going to replace the one that is originally on this trailer right now. Now, what has happened to this one is it has been basically pulled apart a few times and basically the insides are getting worn out and some of the screws a striped out. So, we are just going to go through it and replace it. The first thing we want to do is go ahead and take out this screw and this screw here. This little screw right here, this is kind of a clamp that holds the cable in place. Then this little set screw holds the inside in place and in alignment. OK, let us push that on out. Now, when you go ahead and take these wires apart, note which wires go to what. On the inside of the connector they are all labeled left turn, right turn, TM for trailer marker lights, S is for stop which will be for brakes typically and you have the A in the middle for auxiliary for whatever you want to use and then you have GD for ground. 0:55

Now this trailer follows regular wiring codes, so it should not be a problem to change out and start over. So we will just undo the set screws and pull everything apart. We will get our new part and again, we are going to take out the clamp at the bottom. Undo our set screw. And we will pull the insides apart. Leave that alone. Make sure you run this through the casing on the connector. Now, take a look at the ends of your wires. If they are pretty frayed up, you might want to go ahead and just start over and cut them fresh and twirl them up pretty good so they are nice and tight. 1:49

Alright, we will go ahead and start off with our ground. Ground on this trailer is going to be black. Snug it down. You do not have to really crank it. Alright, we will do T for trailer marker lights and that will be the brown wire on our trailer. Let us go over to the other side. Alright we will do L for left turn and that will be yellow on our trailer wire. Alright, this is going to be R for right turn and right turn on the trailer will be green. Alright and blue will go to the part labeled S for stop. Or, on some 6-pole trailers, blue can actually run to the auxiliary circuit which is in the middle. Alright, make sure that all of the wires are nice and tight. And go ahead and slide the casing back onto it. Install our set screw. And do our clamp back here. Alright, in a few simple steps, we got our connector already replaced on our trailer. And it is good to go. Alright and that will finish it for part number PK11604 from Pollak.

  • How to Wire a 6 Pole Round Trailer End Plug
  • There is a suggested and common method for 6 function trailer wiring. You will have the following functions: Right Turn, Left Turn, Ground, Tail/marker, Brake, Battery. I have included an FAQ article on trailer wiring that includes a diagram and wiring matrix that explains wire color, function, and gauge needed, among other helpful information. Also, there are pictures to the right that show how the connector and receptacle wire by color and function. Pollack wires the PK11604 in the follo

  • No Running Lights On Trailer With 6-Pin Connected To 2003 Dodge Ram With Factory 7-Way
  • If you tested the trailer lights and everything is working then the problem is from the 6-Way connector back to the truck. You will want to use a circuit tester like, # 3808, to test the 7-Way connector attached to the 2003 Dodge Ram. First test the pin on the connector that would be the running lights and see if you have power coming out of the connector. If there is no power coming out then test the wire on the back of the connector that is for the running lights to see if you have power go

  • Testing the Trailer Wires for Function Using a Circuit Tester on a Horse Trailer
  • My suggestion is to test the wires for function with the trailer connected to the tow vehicle. You will need a circuit tester, like the Quickee # 3808, or a multimeter if you have one. You can start with any function, but I recommend starting with the left turn signal. It would help to have someone sit in the tow vehicle and engage the functions while you test the wires on the trailer. With the left blinker on, probe the wires until you find the one that carries a signal in unison with the le

  • Installing 6-Way Trailer Connector in Bed of 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • The easiest way to provide a 6-way connector in your truck bed would be to use the Draw-Tite Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness # 20110 along with a 7 to 6-way adapter like part # 47549. One end of the harness has two connectors. If your Silverado has an existing 7-way connector, unplug the harness behind it, and plug the harness inline. I will include links to the harness and adapter below.

  • Wiring Color Code On Ford Motor Home With 7-Way Connector And Car To Be Towed Has 6-Way Connector
  • The 6-wire and the 7-wire connectors will have the same color codes on six of the wires. The green wire is right turn/brake, the yellow wire is left turn/brake, the white wire is the ground, the brown wire is the taillights, the blue wire is electric brakes, and the black wire is the 12v power. The 7-way motorhome connector will have an extra auxiliary wire (purple) on the center pin that is used for reverse lights, 12v power, or reverse lockout for trailer brakes. There are two accepted

  • Which Wire is the Ground Wire on Sundowner Horse Trailer 6-Way
  • Between those two color choices the black one would most likely be the ground wire. However, if you hook it up with the black as the ground and it does not work I would recommend trying the red wire. Also, you should trace both of these wires back on the trailer to see where they terminate. The ground wire should be connected to the frame of your trailer. Whichever one connects to the frame is the ground. The ground wire should be wired to the 12 o clock position terminal on the Pollak 6-P

  • Tekonsha Brake Controller # 90885-3015P Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Yukon XL
  • It sounds like you are in need of a brake controller. You would not want full 12 volts getting applied to your trailer brakes at the exact moment you apply your Yukon brakes otherwise your trailer brakes would lock up every time you touched the brakes. The tow package that came with your 2003 GMC Yukon XL gives you most of the wiring for towing a trailer but will not give you everything you would need to appropriately apply the brakes that are on your trailer. For that you will need a brake c

  • Wiring 6-Way Trailer Connector Onto Older Kaufman Cattle Trailer
  • Typically, the connector wires as follows: Brown wire: tail lights Green wire: right turn and brake Yellow wire: left turn and brake Red wire: brake output voltage Black wire: auxiliary If this does not match up with the way your trailer is wired, you will have to wire it by function, not wire color. The best way to do this would be to use a car battery and apply power to each circuit on the trailer wiring harness. Ground the negative battery terminal to the trailer frame, and appl

  • Why Do the Trailer Brakes Lock Up When 6-Way Connector Is Plugged Into Ford Truck
  • A 6-Way round pole connector can be wired one of two ways; with the center pole as the 12 volt hot lead, or as the brake. Having the center pole as the 12 volt hot lead is probably most common. In your case, the 6-Way round connector on your Dodge is probably wired with the center pole as the brake lead. The Ford is probably wired with the center pole for the 12 volt power. When you plug in the connector to your trailer and the center is 12 volt power it is just going to lock up the brakes o

  • 6-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation
  • Based on the colors you gave me I believe the red wire you have has the best chance for being the electric brake circuit. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the typical wiring of 6-way. Wire color is not always an accurate indicator of function though, so you should check to make sure you know which wire does what. To figure out what the wires all are you can trace them all back to see where they terminate, or you could get a vehicle battery and run a jumper wire to each circ

  • Trailer Taillights Do Not Work When Connected to 2001 Ford Van 6-Way Connector
  • The white ground wire should attach to the pin on the vehicle 6-way connector that is located at the 2-oclock position. Please take a look at the photo provided; this is labelled to show to which pin the ground wire should attach. Since you have two white ground wires, it sounds like a second ground jumper wire has been added to provide a better ground connection. A ground jumper wire should connect on one end to the same spot on the frame as the main ground wire and the other end to another cle

  • Troubleshooting 6-way Trailer Connector on 1999 Ford F350 Flatbed Truck
  • There are actually two different accepted methods of wiring a 6-way trailer connector. The center pin on a 6-way trailer connector usually carries the 12-volt accessory circuit that is used for any trailer mounted accessories that might need a power feed, although sometimes it can be wired so it carries the output voltage from the brake controller to the trailer brakes. If you take a look at the FAQ article I have linked you to, you can see a wiring diagram showing how a 6-way should be wired

  • Parts Needed to Convert a Motorcycle and Trailer 5-way Connector to a 6-way
  • You will want to first cut off the 5-way of your motorcycle and then wire a 6-way in its place. The sixth circuit will be for the brake controller output. For a vehicle side 6-way round you would want a Pollak 6-Pole # PK11609. Now for your trailer with a 5-way on it you will want to install a 6-way as well. You would want to use a Pollak 6-Pole # PK11604 like you referenced for this. The brake controller circuit will not be used on this 6-way. Now your motorcycle has a 6-way on it that wi

  • Adapting a 6-Way Trailer Connector to a 6-Way Square Connector
  • Your best bet would be to remove the square connector on the camper and replace it with a 6-way connector, item # PK11604, to correspond with the connector on your truck. If you do not wish to do this, you could fabricate an adapter using a 6-Way Trailer End Connector, part # PK11604 and a 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit, part # 37995. You will want to make sure to wire the connector so that the vehicle and trailer side are wired identically. LOCATE WIRES BY FUNCTION ONLY White
