• How to Hardwire a 12 Volt Accessory Outlet in a Truck Bed
  
• Only a 7-way trailer connector will have a 12 volt power wire ran to the connector. A 4-way trailer connector will not have a constant 12 volt power wire. As long as the 12 volt power wire running to the 7-way trailer connector is rated for the amperage required for your 12 volt accessory outlet then yes, you can use this wire for powering the circuit. Depending on how the vehicle is set up, your trailer connector may or may not still have power while the vehicle is off. To test this...

You can use wire # 10-1-1 and breaker # PK54540. You will also need ring terminals # DW05705-1. The linked wiring article will help you confirm which 7-way wire to connect to.

• How To Install a 7-Way on a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban
  
• The blue brake output and orange 12 volt power wires are already ran on your 1996 Chevrolet Suburban however, as you suspected they are not yet connected. The rearmost point of the wires near the trailer hitch will need to be connected to the 7-way. Once the rearmost point of the wires are secured to the 7-way you will then need to connect the forwardmost point of the wires to the brake controller and 12 volt power. The forwardmost wires will end in a gray connector under the brake booster....

• Wiring for a 2017 Buick Encore and a 2007 Ural Retro to a 6-Pin Round Wiring Harness
  
• To add a 6-Pin round connector to your vehicle you will need an adapter in addition to the wiring harness that you referenced. For your 2017 Buick Encore the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56363 is where you'll need to start. The Next thing that you will need is the 4-Pole to 6-Pole Adapter # 30637. This will plug right into the 4-Way that you already have installed on your Encore. All you have to do at this point is add the extra wiring using 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 in addition to...

• 2-wire to 3-wire Converter for Trailer Lights
  
• The Tow Ready Converter # 118158 will work well for your application. This converter needs to be installed downstream, so to speak, of your trailer connector. This converter box is not designed to be exposed to the elements, so you will want to mount it somewhere on the trailer where it is protected. You could also use a fuse box, like # PK52248, to protect the converter. If the ground wire from your trailer connector is already grounded to the trailer, the converter's ground wire can...

• What are the Dimensions of # 12-2-1 Jacketed Brake Wire
  
• I went to our warehouse and pulled some of this Jacketed 2 Wire, part # 12-2-1, to measure for you with a pair of digital calipers. The width of the 2 wires with the jacket measures .364 inches. It measures .209 inches thick. Each individual wire when removed from the jacket measure .122 inches thick. I have also attached links to some of the connectors that can be used with this wire. For wiring brakes on a trailer, I would not recommend using 12GA wire. Instead I would recommend...

• Recommended Circuit Breaker and Wire Gauge for Wiring 7-way Trailer Connector
  
• For a circuit breaker, I recommend using a 40 amp circuit breaker, like the Pollak 40amp In-Line Circuit Breaker # 9510. The wire that runs to the battery will connect to the gold post, and the line that connects to the junction box will connect to the silver post. Usually, 10 gauge wire is used for the 12V power. I recommend using # 10-1-1. This 10 gauge wire is sold by the foot. To make connections with this wire, you will want to use 12-10 gauge wire ring terminals # DW05705-1 or...

• Adding an Auxiliary Power Circuit to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
  
• First, use a circuit tester like # ALL640595 if needed, to test the 7-Way trailer connector. The 12 volt circuit will be in the 1 oclock position. If the trailer side connector pin that corresponds with the 12 volt circuit is connected to the battery on the trailer, then you will not have to change or add anything. If it is not, you can either connect the battery to that circuit or use the auxiliary pin in the center. Again, use the circuit tester to test the center pin. It may be connected...

• Parts Needed to Allow Tow Vehicle Battery to Charge Trailer Battery While Driving
  
• You may be able to use the existing 12V feed at the back of your truck to charge your trailer battery while driving but you will need to install a battery isolation solenoid to disconnect this line when the tow vehicle is off. Otherwise your trailer battery could drain the battery in the tow vehicle. You will also want to ensure that you are using a wire gauge heavy enough to pass the charging current to the trailer battery; 10-gauge would be the minimum. You can use part # TR118665...

• Trailer Warning Lights Flash in Vehicles Message Center
  
• The trailer warning lights flashing in your message center sounds like either a ground issue on the trailer or a corrosion problem between the trailer connectors. I would first start off by disconnecting the trailer connectors and using a bit of electrical spray to clean the pins. Once done, I would also use a bit of dielectric grease like part # 11755 between the two connectors before mating them back together to prevent future problems. Before you move onto the trailer wiring, I also...

• Converting 4-Flat to 7-Way on 2005 Toyota Sienna to Use Prodigy RF Trailer Mounted Brake Controller
  
• If you elect to go with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, item # 90250, on your trailer, instead of installing a brake controller in the cab of your 2005 Toyota Sienna, you will not need all of the items and wiring in the Electronic Brake Controller Wiring Kit, # ETBC7. For the Prodigy RF to function properly all that is needed is the constant 12 volt power supply from the vehicle battery. You would need the following items: # 37185 7-Way and 4-Way adapter, plugs into your...

• Wiring Harness for Trailer Brake Controller on a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  
• If you do not already have a trailer brake controller for your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, then I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. Not only is it easy to install, it also uses an LCD screen for an easy-to-read display. The Prodigy P3 comes with a pigtail wiring harness that you can splice into your Grand Caravan wiring as follows: Black - 12V power White - Ground Red - Cold side of stop light switch Blue - Brake controller signal to 7-Way If you have not already...

• To hook up a trailer jack to a 12 volt battery you need to make the connection from the jack's power wire to the positve post on the battery using a ring terminal, like part # DW05705-1. If you don't already have a battery on the trailer you can add one. You'll need to power it by connecting it to the trailer connector's 12 volt power circuit. You can use part # ET7WK if you need to add a 7-way on the trailer. You'll also need a 7-way connector on the tow vehicle, which I can help...

• Trailer Tail Lights Pulsate When Running Lights Are Activated
  
• The issue you are having with your lights pulsating is because of a bad ground. This usually happens when multiple signals are applied at the same time because the increased power draw then becomes too much for the ground to handle. In order to fix this issue I recommend using a junction box like part # 38656. Once you have this installed you can then run the grounds for all of your lights and the trailer connector to the ground terminal inside the junction box, then to a single point on...

• What Amp Breaker Should be Used to Install Brake Controller Towing Trailer with 4 Brake Assemblies
  
• The diameter of the stud on the Battery Side Bolt Extender # DW05416 that you mentioned is 3/8 of an inch. For a ring terminal designed to fit that you would want the part # DW05705-1. I would also recommend you go with a 20 amp breaker like part # 9506P if you plan to tow a trailer with up to 4 brake assemblies. Otherwise the warranty of the controller would be voided.

• Is it Possible to Hook Seven-Way Directly to a Battery to Power Concession Trailer Lights?
  
• It is possible to use a 7-way vehicle end connector such as # PK12-707E to hook up to a stand-alone battery for your lights. You would need to connect by using 10 gauge wire, # 10-2-1, and if you use a deep cell battery as you suggested, a pair of ring terminals such as # DW05705-1 would secure your wiring to the battery. For a more permanent setup, you can mount a battery box such as # DW03188 (the exact size would depend on the dimension of the battery) on the trailer so you do not...

• Wiring a Stand Alone Battery for Portable Power Supply for a Horse Trailer With 6 or 7-Way Connector
  
• I think I can help you out here, but you would need to build the adapter as you have suggested. I do not know of a power supply connector assembly for a stand-alone battery at this time. I would start with an appropriate length of 10 gauge double bonded wire, # 10-2-1, to go from the 7-way or 6-way trailer connector to the area where the battery will be stored. Do not store the battery inside the horse trailer or directly on the ground. Next, wire a vehicle end connector that is compatible...
