• Connecting Electric Trailer Jack Directly to 12V Battery
  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 # e99011 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...

• 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...

• How To Ground Trailer Tail Lights Without a Ground Wire To a Wooden Surface
  The Standard Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wire Harness part # TL29BK as I am sure you noticed grounds via the mounting hardware therefore there is not a singular ground wire. In order to attach this light to a wooden surface you will need to run a ground wire yourself up to the trailer tongue using the mounting studs on the back with ring terminals part # DW05705-1 and wire part # 12-1-1. The other option you have is to use the Peterson LED Light Kit for Trailers part # V944 which does...

• Do I Need To Use the Signal Booster with a 21' Class B Van?
  The manufacturer directs that the signal booster be used with all installs. With your short van the monitor would probably not initially have any problems receiving the signal due to distance. However, the booster ensures a very strong signal that will not be affected by other radio interference such as cell phone boosters, and passing motorists. I would install the booster. The connection to your house battery is very simple. I am sure that you will be able to handle it. If it were...

• How to Extend Short Ground Wire on 4-Pole Wishbone Harness
  Wishbone 4-pole harnesses like # A35W42B, # A20WB, # W002230 and # A10-4225VP usually do have a short ground wire because most trailer frames are steel and they conduct well enough that a ground wire attached near the tongue will provide sufficient ground even for lights mounted all the way at the back of the trailer. On the other hand if you have an aluminum frame trailer that does NOT conduct electricity nearly as well as a steel frame then you might need to extend that 2- or 3-foot...

• How to Access +12V Power Circuit in 7-Way Wiring to Power Fuel Pump
  7-way trailer wiring includes a +12V auxiliary power circuit that can be used for a range of purposes from powering an electric jack to topping off a trailer-mounted battery. This circuit is handled by the contact at the 1:00 position as you look at the vehicle's trailer socket. The ground is at the opposite pin, the one at the 7:00 position. Please refer to the linked photo. For an easy way to access this power circuit to operate your fuel pump you could wire in a 7-way plug like #...

• How to Tell if 12v Circuit on 7-Way is Active on 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
  Your 7 Pin connector should be active, especially if it was factory installed. You can test the connector with a circuit tester like our # PTW2992 when the vehicle is on. Then shut it off and test again to see if your connector is still drawing power with the engine off. If it is not active there is either a blown or missing fuse (check your owner's manual for location), or it possibly did not come active from the factory. In which case you can run a wire from the battery to the 7-way...

• Troubleshooting Installation of Curt C56267 Where Trailer Lights Do Not Work
  I would start by testing the power wire that you connected that carries the 12v power to the Curt # C56267 harness using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993; this will tell you if there is even power being supplied to the harness, which I suspect might be the cause of this issue. If you test the wire and it's not giving you 12v of power, you'll need to run a wire up to the vehicle battery with some 12 gauge wire # 12-1-1 and connect it with a ring terminal like the # DW05705-1. If...

  The third cable you mentioned for the Truck Bed Cargo Camera # 3460010 will indeed plug in between the camera and module cables also included with the kit. The red and black leads are for the camera's power and ground. The module also includes extended leads for power and ground. I have labeled the picture you attached accordingly. The ground leads (black) from the module and camera need to be attached to a bare metal surface using ring terminals like # DW05705-1 and a screw. The...

• Adding Interior and Exterior Work Lights to Livestock Trailer
  Considering how you'll likely be using this, if you don't already have an auxilliary battery on your trailer, you'll need to add one. You'll want a 12v battery, which can be sourced from a number of different places, but I recommend something that can at least handle around 50 amp hours. This eliminates the chance that you run your vehicle battery down and get stranded somewhere, in addition to straining that battery and creating the need for replacing it much sooner than you normally would...

• 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...

• Installing a Brake Controller Onto a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Without Factory Tow Package
  I can help you install a brake controller like the Tekonsha P3 on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee. For Brake Controller recommendations, I really like the # 90195. This brake controller is a proportional controller, which means whatever pressure you press the tow vehicles brakes it will apply the same pressure and intensity to the trailers brakes. It also has a customizable full display screen which provides you with a full error messages instead of codes that need to be deciphered. First...

• Instructions for Completely Rewiring a 14 Foot Tandem Axle Dump Trailer
  Rewiring your 14 foot dump trailer is pretty straight forward. I would start with a 20 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness, # A20WB, to provide wiring for the stop turn and tail lights on your trailer. We have a video detailing how to install this type of harness for you to review, see link. Next, I would use the RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK12706, and remove the 4-Way connector from the 4-Way harness and install the wires in the proper locations in the 7-Way connector. Our...

• How to Make a Secure 12 Volt and Ground Connection for Trailer Wiring On a 2007 GMC Sierra
  I agree that it sounds as if you have a ground issue. I would start by pulling apart the connector again and making sure the ground pin is not bent. Sometimes this can cause the problem. The next place to look is under the hood at the power distribution block. The power wire is connected to a ground stud at the front of the power distribution block, see link. Make sure the wire is tight and that the fuse for the stud is properly inserted and good. There are many ground wires and straps...

• Parts Needed for Always-On 12V Circuit on 2018 Ford F-150 with Factory Wiring
  The 12V auxiliary power circuit in your Ford's 7-way wiring setup is unusual. This circuit becomes active once you press the brake. It will otherwise appear to be dead. So unless you are driving there will not be power on that 7-way contact. This decision by Ford has caused a lot of confusion for Ford owners. If you want your 7-way 12V circuit to be active at all times, regardless of the ignition key position or operation of the brake pedal, all you need to do is bypass the existing...

• 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...

• How to Create an Electrical Grounding Plate on DIY Truckbed Camper for Running Lights
  The short answer to your question is, no. You're going to be best served by running your ground wires together and grounding them at a single point on the trailer using a ring terminal like the # DW05705-1 and a junction box like # 38656. Since aluminum not is a great conductor of electricity, that wouldn't be a good choice to create your grounding plate- if you can ground it to steel instead that would be optimal. If you need wiring to run all these grounds together you can use 16 gauge...

• 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...

• Adding an Auxiliary Power Circuit to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
  First, use a circuit tester like # 40376 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...

• EOH Brakes on New Trailer not Working With 2016 GMC 3500 With OEM Brake Controller
  Since you have already tested the trailer brakes with a few different trucks by different manufacturers (2 of which have been used with an Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) system), the problem should be with your trailer. The reason that they most likely recommended checking your trucks is that we have seen issues with OEM brake controllers from manufacturers working with EOH systems. What you will first want to check is the connectors on both your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 and your trailer....

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on 2015 Honda Pilot
  It sounds like the issue is with a ground connection, a terminal connection, or one of the relays. I recommend starting with the relays and the best way to determine if one is bad is to replace it with one you know works. Once you have determined the relays are good, then I recommend checking the plug connections on your harness. Each connection should be clean of corrosion and debris and have dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out. Then if you are still lacking...

• How to Add Always-On 12V Power Feed to 7-way on 2015 Toyota Tundra
  Since your truck is wired to shut off the 12V trailer power feed when it is not running (to save your truck battery) you will just want to install a separate 10-gauge power wire and 40-amp circuit breaker between your battery and the power wire on the trailer connector. 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. Keep in mind that the connected trailer...

• 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...
