• Tapping Into Vehicle Fuse Box To Install A Backup Camera System Without Splicing Factory Wires
  
• To wire a backup camera into your vehicle so that it only comes on when in reverse, will require tapping into your reverse function wiring. Without knowing your specific vehicle, I can't tell you the specific fuse location but your owners manual will be able to help you. If you choose to use this as your power source, I recommend you use the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526 and run wire like the 16 gauge # DW02359-1 to the camera wire. Another method of installation requires...

• How to Wire a Trailer for Tail Lights
  
• First, lets make sure you have all of the parts you need to wire a trailer for lights. If you have an old trailer and want to replace everything, I recommend using a kit like our Optronics Tail Light Kit, # TL29BK and our trailer wiring installation kit # HM51020. We also have an LED kit, # TLL9RK. Step 1 - The trailer connector should extend 2 - 3 feet past the tongue. Attach the ground wire directly to the tongue of the trailer using a self tapping screw # 101131802 and a ring terminal...

• Trailer Brake Lights Stay on After Brake Pedal is Released in Tow Vehicle
  
• It sounds like you have a short somewhere on your towing setup. I recommend isolating the issue by testing the pin on your tow vehicle side connector with a circuit tester like part # PTW2992. If it is not sending power when you take your foot off the brake pedal then the problem is on your trailer. If it is sending power when your foot is off of the brake pedal then the problem is on your tow vehicle side. Either way you will want to start off by checking the connectors from the tow...

• My 2017 Ford F-150 Reads "Trailer Module Fault” & “Turn Signal Faults” & Trailer Lights Don’t Work
  
• According to what you told me, since it's not the LED lights, you may want to re-check the ground on the vehicle side. Since you are not getting the proper signals to the trailer lights then you will want to start off by making sure your vehicle end connectors where the factory harness plugs in do not have any corrosion on them. make sure sure they are clean and the pins are not bent. Yes, this applies on new trucks. If they look good then you will want to check the wiring on your vehicle...

• Parts Needed to Run Combined Wiring to 3rd Brake Light on Truck Cap
  
• If your truck has a combined lighting system where the stop signal is run on the same wires as the left and right turn signals then you can simply use the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196. This converter separates the stop signal from the turn signals and will allow you to wire your 3rd brake light so that it will not blink when your turn signal is activated. To install it you will need to connect either the green or yellow wire to the appropriate turn/stop signal and...

• Fastest and Best Way to Connect Trailer Tail Light Wires
  
• Using butt connectors such as # 05731-5 is probably the fastest way to connect wires. Using a heat shrink butt connector such as # DW05744-5 would be a better, longer lasting connection. The white ground wire will need to secure to the trailer frame using a self tapping screw like # FA1131822.

• Fuse Keeps Blowing on 2017 Ram and Running Lights on Trailer Do Not Work Properly
  
• It sounds like you have a short somewhere on your circuits. You can start by inspecting the 7-Way connector on your 2017 Ram and your trailers to make sure that they are clean and do not have any debris in them. If those look good then the next step would be to inspect all of your grounds and make sure that they have a solid connection to a clean, bare metal surface. Even some paint could cause a bad ground which results in a short. Since this problem is happening with both trailers...

• Tail Light Fuse on Truck Keeps Blowing When Trailer Wiring is Connected and Then Trailer is Coupled
  
• There are a few things that you will want to check since your tail light fuse keeps blowing when you couple your trailer. Start off by checking the connector on your truck and your trailer. Make sure that it is clean and free of debris and corrosion as that can cause power from other circuits to bleed over to the running lights. Using dielectric grease like part # 11755 on your connectors can help prevent water damage and corrosion. If the connectors look good then you will want...

• New Trailer Wiring, Connector, Junction Box, and Battery Box for a Trailer
  
• We have 7-wire strands but no 5-wire. What I recommend is to use duplex wire # 10-2-1, sold by the foot, for the brakes and bonded 4-wire, # 16-4B-1, also sold by the foot, for the lighting functions. For a junction box you can use # 38656. I have linked a couple of videos showing installations featuring these products for you. For a 7-Way trailer side connector you can use # H20046 with the wiring listed above. For the junction box you will also need some ring terminals. For the trailer...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Mazda CX-5
  
• According to the online manual for your 2015 Mazda CX-5 (page 7-20) if you have the 2WD model then you can tow it using a dolly but if you have an AWD you will need to tow it with all 4 wheels off of the ground. I recommend checking your own copy of the owner's manual to confirm this. We have 2 different tow dollies from Roadmaster that you can use to tow a 2WD model. The first one, part # RM-2050-1, is your standard tow dolly while part # RM-2000-1 has self-steering wheels that make...

• How to Change the Old 6 Pin Rectangular Wiring Harness to a 7-Way Wiring Harness
  
• I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately we do not carry an adapter that goes from the 6-Way rectangular harness to a current 7-Way harness for your trailer. You will have to do some splicing to get the result you want. What I recommend doing is using a circuit tester, like part # 40376, to find out what the function is on each wire. You can either cut the harness off that you currently have, or you can use the Connector Kit # 37995 to access the wiring. You can use Butt Connectors...

• 7-Way Wiring Harness for 2015 Ford F-150
  
• There is a simple solution for you, but there is no trick to getting the wires of the # 118283 back out since the wires are different gauges due to the brown wire being for the right turn/stop functions and the blue wire being for the trailer brakes. What you can do is cut off the 7-way on the # 118283 and replace it with 7-way connector # HM47210 that has a pigtail; you'll only need butt connectors # DW05745-5 and # DW05744-5 to connect your splices.

• Trailer Turn Signal and Brake Lights Dont Work But Running Lights Do
  
• Even if you have checked all of the connection points and fuses, there could still be a short in your wiring somewhere along the line. If you put proper protection on your soldering, the best protection would be using Heat-Shrinkable Tubing # DW05449 with Electrical Tape wrapped around the places that you soldered, then your splices should be okay. Otherwise the connections could jar loose, or in cold conditions they could become brittle and ineffective. If your connections look good,...

• Installing a Hopkins Reliance Brake Controller in a 2018 Ram 1500
  
• Brake controllers aren't vehicle specific so that's certainly not an issue. To install the Hopkins Reliance in your 2018 Ram 1500 use the plug in adapter # HM53056. The adapter plugs right in to the connector under your truck's dash near the driver's right knee. The other end of the adapter does not match the connector on your Reliance so you need to cut that end off as well as the connection on the Reliance and then connect the wires. To make the connections use butt connectors,...

• How Can I Install Trailer Identification Lights With Little Clearance
  
• The 3 LED Identification Light Kit for Trailers # MCL22RK3B have a 3 wire connection. This is because they are intended to be used as running lights and to light up brighter as brake lights. Because trailers use combined wiring, meaning the brake and turn signals are on the same circuit, if the wires are connected as brake lights, they will work as turns signals as well. Avoiding this is when you would need the Curt Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196. Another option,...

• Trailer Lights Not Working on a 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 With ModuLite Ultra Protector 119192
  
• The ModuLite Ultra Protector Wiring Harness w/ Integrated Circuit and Overload Protection # 119192 has a re-settable short circuit and overload protection built in that protects itself and your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 from electrical shorts and mis-wiring problems. This means that it will shut itself off and restart instead of allowing a fuse to blow. Since you have tested the functions on 7-Way of your GL320 and they seem to all be operating properly the problem is most likely on your...

• Recommended LED Replacement Lights for 2005 Damon Daybreak Motorhome with Load Resistors
  
• The Sealed, 4" Round, LED Stop/Turn/Tail light, 21 Diode - Red # STL55RB will work great on your motorhome. You will simply need to use the wiring pigtail # A47PB for each light. You will simply need the butt connectors # DW05744-5. On some vehicles, when switching to LED lights, there is a load resistor needed to prevent hyperflashing but this is not always needed. If you do end up needing a load resistor, I recommend the Putco LED Light Bulb Load-Resistors - Aluminum - Qty 2 #...

• Changing Trailer 4-Way Wiring to 7-Way Wiring for Extra Function and Compatible Connector to Truck
  
• To switch your boat trailer from a 4-way to a 7-way connector, I recommend using the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long # H20044 along with heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5. You will ground the white wire to your trailer frame using # 44-5310A and then connect the running lights, right turn/stop, left turn/stop, and reverse light. To the reverse light (yellow wire on # H20044) you will connect # 16-1-1 wire sold by the foot to lead to your trailer reverse lights that...

• Recommendation for Wiring to Allow Backing Up With Electric Lockout Solenoid on Surge Brake Trailer
  
• For your electric lockout solenoid on your trailer, I don't recommend using the parking lights as your signal. Although this works for daytime without issue, at night you will lose all of your trailer braking. Instead, I recommend you use the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Kit - Vehicle and Trailer Ends # HM47890. This will give you a clean connection between your trailer and vehicle and allow you to properly connect...

• Tekonsha Prodigy RF Turns Off and On When Turn Signal is Used
  
• I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and the problem that you are experiencing is most likely caused by faulty wiring on your trailer. The Tekonsha Prodigy RF # 90250 works by activating the brakes when there is a signal on both the Left Turn/Brake and Right Turn/Brake wiring functions. If your turn signal is causing the RF to act up then you will want to do some tests to see where the wiring problem is. Check to make sure that the ground on both your tow vehicle and your trailer...

• Yes, the Optronics GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - Submersible - 24 Diodes - Weathertight, # STL201RFMB, uses two weathertight harnesses. The 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights - Weathertight Plug - 10" Lead, # A45PMB, will give you the running light, stop light, and turn signal funtions. The 2-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Lights - Weathertight Plug - 10" Lead, # A42PMB, will give you the backup light funtion. To connect these harnesses, I suggest...

• Is a Longer Brake Controller Wiring Adapter Available For 2015 Toyota Sequoia
  
• I have a solution for you, but there is not an extension available to make the #3040-P any longer than 32 inches. You can use the universal wiring harness, # 20127, that comes with the Tekonsha Brake Controllers, like the Prodigy P3 # 90195, to extend the length of the # 3040-P harness by hardwiring the universal harness into the adapter. To extend the harness, you can cut the wires on the # 3040-P a couple of inches behind the connector to install the wires. This will give you an additional...

• Entire Light Bar on Trailer Lights up When Either Turn Signal is Used
  
• If your 17" light bar has 3 wires like the Optronics Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL59RB, then it is only meant to be used on one side. It sounds like you wired everything correctly. I believe that you are spot on with why it is not working correctly. For the bar to have 2 different turn signal sections it would need to have 4 wires. Since it only has 3 this means that the entire light bar will light up whenever it gets any kind of signal. If you wanted separate turn signals then...

• Mounting Bracket and Wire for a Optronics Clearance Light # AL90AS
  
• For a mounting bracket you will need the Optronics Bracket for A91 Series Lights # A91OB. This bracket is confirmed by Optronics to fit on the back of your AL90AS light. This bracket comes with a gasket which creates a weather-tight seal. For a wire, I recommend the Right Angle 2-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Lights # A49PB. This Wire is convenient as the right angle allows the wires to run down from the light instead of straight out the back. The red wire splices right into your trailer...

You will need to use a tow dolly. We have 2 tow dolly options that you can choose from. One is more like a standard tow dolly, Roadmaster # RM-2050-1, and the other is an upgrade that has self-steering wheels, Roadmaster # RM-2000-1. The standard version does not come...

• Recommended Trailer Connector and Wiring to Add 7-Way Trailer Connector to 4-Way for Reverse Lights
  
• For your reverse lights on your boat trailer, I recommend you start with converting the 4-way you have into a 7-way trailer connector. I recommend the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717 for this. You will simply plug in your current 4-way and then connect the white wire with the ring terminal to your frame bare metal to metal using # FA1131822. Then you will connect the yellow wire of this adapter to the reverse light power at your tail light on one side of...

• Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies to Fit 10x2-1/4 Inch Dexter Drum
  
• Yes, the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-35L is the left hand brake to fit your Dexter drum. For the right hand side you'll need # AKEBRK-35R. If you would prefer self-adjusting brakes you would use # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right and # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left. Self-adjusting brakes are much easier to maintain and do not require to be adjusted manually as the brake pads wear. To connect the brake wires on the trailer to the magnet wires on the new brakes you can use the...
