• Installation of Blue Ox 88206 Flat Tow Adaptor Cable with Differing Center Pin Functions
  The center pin of the 7-way is wired for a reverse light circuit. The Blue Ox wiring 7-way to 6-way has to do with 7-way trailer wiring circuits and reduces to the 6-way input wiring for the tow vehicle. The 7-way is labeled as open at the 7-way end center pin and there is not wiring attached to that pin location on the connecting harness which does use the other 6 function which will then match the 6-way input pin locations. The Blue Ox Towing Accessories Kit for Ascent and Avail Tow...

• Parts Needed to Tow 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK with Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter Kit
  As long as you've got an aftermarket bumper with D-ring plates at least 5/8" thick, you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 to flat tow your 2007 Jeep Wrangler.

• Troubleshooting Running Light Circuit that is Hot all the Time on Flat Towed Vehicle
  It sounds like there is either a short between the 12 volt accessory circuit of your tow bar wiring and the running light circuit or the two circuits are wired backwards. I would use a circuit tester to test the pins of the 7-way on your tow vehicle to make sure only the 1:00 pin has voltage at all times as that should be the 12 volt accessory circuit and if that checks out test the pins of the 6-way on the opposite end of the adapter when it is plugged in. See which pin is hot all the...

• Will Blue Ox Base Plates 1142 Fit on 2020 Jeep Gladiator with Factory Steel Bumper and Winch
  As long as your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon has the factory steel bumper, the Blue Ox Base Plates # BLU53FR will fit with your winch installed. I was able to confirm this with my contact over at Blue Ox for you. These base plates are compatible with most Blue Ox tow bars, like the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420, which comes with safety cables included.

• Which Pin of Blue Ox 6-Way to 7-Way is for 12 Volt Charge Circuit
  What is confusing and annoying about 6-way trailer wiring plugs is that there is two commonly used wiring diagrams used with only difference being that the brake output and 12 volt charge circuits are swapped. So on the 6-way side of the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire Electrical Cord and Outlet # BX88206 the center pin of the 6-way is the 12 volt charge circuit. We have confirmed this with Blue Ox. The question you mentioned has been taken down and was done by someone who no longer works here...

• Tail Lights Work On 2014 Honda CR-V While Not Connected To Motorhome But Signals Stop After
  It sounds like you are having issues with the tail light circuits on your towed vehicle. If that is the case then I will need to know exactly what components you are using in order to offer specific advice but I can tell you that although the same bulb may be used for normal operation and flat-tow operation, they are not powered by the same source so it could very well be that the turn signals work normally but not when attached to the motorhome. I again will need to know exactly what components...
