• Recommended Parts for Flat Towing a 2018 Jeep Wrangler
  The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 will work well with the Knighthawk tow bar # RM-676 which comes with the safety cables and wiring connector. The Roadmaster Tow Bar Cover # RM-055-3 is a confirmed fit. For the rest of your wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 and then cut and hardwire the 4 way into the 6-way connector # A10-6034VP using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05743-5.

• Changing GLOLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights on a Boat Trailer
  The only thing extra that you may have to do is find a suitable mounting location for the white ground wire. Sometimes older lights ground through the mounting hardware but the GLOLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light # STL116RB grounds through the white wire with the ring terminal on it. Asite from that I do recommend using heat shrink butt connector like part # DW05743-5 for a water-tight seal to keep the wiring from becoming damaged. You referenced the passenger side taillight....

• Can 4-Way be Spliced Into Trailer That Has 7-Way
  If you don't want to use a vehicle adapter like the Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 7-Way RV Style # A10-7084VP on your vehicle with a 4-way to adapt it to your trailer's 7-way, then yes, you can splice into your trailer's wiring to add a 4-way if your like. You can use the trailer side connector you mentioned, the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM38136. To splice it you can connect your wires with the Deka Heat Shrink...

• Recommended Butt Connector for Installing Tekonsha # 18002 on a 2007 Lexus RX 350
  You can definitely use the quick splices that are included with the Tekonsha 4-Pole 60" Long Vehicle End # 18002 that you referenced, but butt connectors secured by electrical tape would provide much more of a secure installation on your 2007 Lexus RX 350. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-5 for 22-18 Gauge Wire because they are much more secure and will last longer than standard butt connectors like part # 05730-5.

• Re-Wiring Furrion Camera System to Running Lights Circuit
  The best way to locate the running lights circuit wire on your trailer is to simply use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 on the wiring behind one of the tail light assemblies. When the trailer's hooked up to the vehicle and you have the running lights activated test each of the wires to see which one is carrying power. Then it's just a matter of running the power wire from the Furrion Camera System # FOS43TASF to this wire using some butt connectors like # DW05743-5. This will make it...

• Will Optronics LED Lights Corrode
  I can't speak for the lights you used but the Optronics LED lights, part # TLL160RK, won't corrode as long as they're installed and used properly. With any trailer lights, even submersible lights, I recommend unplugging your trailer connector before putting them underwater. Also, since the wiring connections aren't considered a submersible part of the light use heat shrink butt connectors, like part # DW05743-5, to make the connections. Leaving the connections exposed can definitely...

• Recommendation for LED Waterproof Corrosion Resistant Rescue Boat Trailer Lights
  Since your rescue boat trailer is 188 inches (15 feet 8-inches) tongue to tail and 89-1/2 inches (7-1/2 feet) width I recommend the following: I recommend Optronics right side LED trailer light # STL26RB and left side LED trailer light # STL27RB. They are waterproof and corrosion resistant and will mount to all surfaces. These work great with trailers over 80 inches wide. The left side has a built-in license plate light.

• Recommended 12-Volt Powered Light and Cord for Trailer During Loading and Unloading
  I can help you pick out a work light for loading/unloading and help you wire it up to use in a 12-volt outlet. First, I would instead recommend the # TLL48FB Opti-Brite LED Work Light from Optronics instead of the light # TLL50FB you were looking at. This light is much brighter and has a better spread with 1,200 raw lumens of light compared to the 324 raw lumens of light produced by the # TLL50FB. I have linked two images of us testing the two lights at night outside, and you will...

• How to Use a Taillight for Both Third Brake and Running Light Functions
  In order to use a third brake light for both brake and running light signals, you would need to use a light with turn, brake, and running light capabilities such as the Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL59RB. As most trailers are a 3 wire system you would also need to use the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter part # 118158 to separate the brake signals from turn the signals. In order to install the light you would first need to take the ground wire (white) from the taillight...

• Are Quick Splice Connectors Weather and Water Proof?
  The Quick Splices - Self-Stripping Connector - Closed Port - 14-16-18 Gauge - Blue - Qty 1 # SWC502905-1 is weather proof and water tight, but not waterproof. To further assist I recommend adding dielectric grease # LT37534 to further protect the splice from water and debris. As long as the grease remains as a protective layer, you won't have issues but it isn't recommended to submerge. If you are looking for a submersible connection, I recommend the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector -...

• Replacement Clearance Light Lens for a 1989 Beaver Motorhome
  The task of finding replacement lens covers for a now 30+ year old motorhome is going to be very difficult. We do not have the correct replacement lens covers you need and you are going to have a very hard time finding them. Therefore, I recommend just replacing them as the process to install clearance lights is very easy and straightforward. All you will need is some butt connectors and a few mounting screws if they are not already included with the light. I have attached a list of...

• Replacement Wishbone Connector for Damaged 4-Way on Trailer
  What you have that got damaged is a wishbone harness, and the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix 4-Way Connector # HM48192 will work, but you would need to combine the two running light wires and turn it into one wire. Or you could simply get a new wishbone 4-way # A20WB, cut off the connector and use butt connectors # DW05743-5 to combine the wiring. I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to take a look at.

• How to Connect Optronics Rectangular LED Marker/Clearance Light - Amber, # MCL35A32G
  If your trailer does not have the mating connector for Rectangular LED Marker/Clearance Light # MCL35A32G then the best thing to do is to cut off the light's connector and splice it to the trailer wiring. I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors, # DW05743-5, because a quick splice connector would not hold up well in the elements. The gauge of the wire should be 18 gauge, small wiring since it is an LED light.

• Does the Optronics Clearance Light # MCL49AB Come With a Mounting Gasket?
  The Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light - Submersible - 14 Diodes - Amber Lens # MCL49AB is a sonically sealed trailer light and does not come with a mounting gasket as it is not needed. This light is completely submersible, so you can simply mount it with the 3 inch on center mounting holes but the mounting hardware is not included. I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Red - Qty 5 # DW05743-5 to keep moisture out of...

• Brake/Hazard Lights on 1996 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup Do Not Work After Brake Controller Install
  This is an unusual issue that seems to be related to the installation method rather than the brake controller. My technical contact at Tekonsha advised that he has seen it happen when quick-splice connectors are used (rather than the more secure butt connectors) that these quick-splice fasteners go all the way through the wire itself, severing it, rather than just cutting through the insulation layer. It could be that your installer may have used these connectors and when clamping them...

• What Harness is Required to Replace a Trailer Harness Converter Box on a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  You are exactly right, the only difference between the Upgraded Modulite, # 119190, and Modulite # 119147, is the compatibility with ST, STT, and PWM systems. Since your 2006 Chrysler Pacifica does not use these advanced circuit systems, you are better off going with the more cost effective modulite, # 119147. You won't be sacrificing any quality or capabilities that would be related to your vehicle. It sounds like you may already have an idea of how to replace the harness, but I'll...
