• 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 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...

• 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...

• Installing GCH Truck Bed Cargo Camera # 3460010 on 2018 GMC Sierra 3500
  
• 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...

• 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...

• Parts Needed to Add Second Battery and 12V Outlets to Bed of Chevy Silverado
  
• To add an additional battery in your 2002 Chevy Silverado I recommend adding the Redarc Smart Start Isolator # 331-SBI12D in-line between the truck's start battery and the auxiliary battery. This will transfer power in either direction to maintain the charge on both batteries. Then to add 12V outlets to the bed you can use the Roadmaster # RM-9332 and run the wiring up to the Silverado's battery using 12 gauge wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot), butt connectors # 05732-2, a 12 gauge fuse...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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 # 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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 a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2008 Toyota Tundra with 4-Way Connector
  
• It sounds like your 2008 Toyota Tundra has a factory 4-Way trailer connector. A 4-way only has the basic light functions for a trailer. If the trailer also only has a 4-Way then it also has no wiring to the electric brakes. On the Tundra, to install a functioning 7-Way and brake controller you will actually need to use 4 to 7-Way adapter # 37185. Your factory 4-Way will plug into the back of this unit. You will then need to hardwire the remaining wires. The white wire needs to be grounded...

• Parts Needed to Rewire Trailer Brakes to Junction Box
  
• The only parts you need is the wiring, butt connectors # 05732-2, and ring terminals # DW05705-1. The wires coming from the brakes do not have polarity so either can be used as the ground or power wires. Depending on how you have the brakes grounded you can run individual wires using # 10-1-1. We also have 2 wires jacketed together, part # 10-2-1. This may be an easier solution. Both are sold by the foot.

• 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...

• Connecting a Power Lead From an Electric A-Frame Jack to Trailer Accessory Battery
  
• If you are using an internally grounded electric jack like the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack, part # UF38-944017, you simply run the power lead to the accessory battery on the trailer and connect it to the positive terminal using something like a ring terminal, like part # DW05705-1. You will also want to make sure the negative post of the battery is grounded to the trailer frame so the circuit is complete. This type of jack will only require the power lead wire to be connected as...

• 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....

• 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...

• 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...

• 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....
