• Tapping Into Vehicle Fuse Box To Install A Backup Camera System Without Splicing Factory Wires
  
• To wire a camera like the Peak Performance Digital Wireless Backup Camera w/ Color LCD Monitor and Night Vision # PKC0RB 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...

• 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...

• How to Wire the Galaxy Single Dome Light Black Base and Globe Part # 24004-7171
  
• You are correct, there are two black 12 volt power wires on the Galaxy Single Dome Light Black Base and Globe part # 24004-7171. One of the black wires will be used to illuminate the light when the door opens and the other black wire will be used as your map light which is operated with the included on/off switch. The only other wire you need to connect is the white wire which will be for the ground. There is a trim ring available for this light which will make for a clean look once...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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,...

• 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 # 3808, 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...

• 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 # 3808. 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 vehicle...

• Parts Needed for Towing a 2015 Mazda CX-5 Behind an RV
  
• According to an the online manual for your 2015 Mazda CX-5 (page 7-20) if you have an AWD CX-5 then it can only be towed with all 4 wheels off of the ground. For a 2WD model it will need to be towed with a tow dolly. You will want to check your own copy of your owner's manual to confirm this and for any other special instructions that might be needed. We have 2 options when it comes to using a tow dolly and both are from Roadmaster. The first one, part # RM-2050-1, is your standard tow...

• Installing the 4-Wire Pigtail of the Optrionics Tail Light # STL68RB to 5 Wires from Vehicle
  
• You may want to double check your 5 way from your vehicle, because normally the stop and turn signal functions are combined on a single wire and are separate wires based on left side and right side for turn signal. So, you'd have ground, left turn and stop, right turn and stop, running lights, and reverse as your 5 wire functions. I recommend using a circuit tester like # 3808 to test each pole function on your vehicle. The LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - Submersible...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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,...

• Best Option Installing the Wesbar 403075 Tail Light on a Jet Ski Trailer
  
• If your current light assembly is not a sealed unit, then you should be able to just replace the bulb as long as both bulbs are interchangeable. If the light assembly is a sealed unit, I would not recommend trying to change out the bulb. Breaking the seal could cause a risk of water contamination in the light when submerged. In this case, you can install the new light using heat shrink butt connectors, like the Deka # DW05744-5 in 14-16 gauge wire. Just cut off the plug and use the...

• 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.

• 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...

• Replacement 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Connectors and Harnesses for Harbor Freight Trailer

This is as true for wiring items like your 4-pole harness as it is for other mechanical parts like bearings. We can help. For a replacement trailer-side 4-pole connector only that you can splice to your existing wiring you can use the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48192. If you prefer a connector with wiring we have many...

• Parts Needed to Run Combined Wiring to 3rd Brake Light on Truck Cap

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...

• 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...

• Can Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK Tie Into Wiring Kit # RM-152 on a 2003 Jeep Wrangler
  
• If you installed the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler then you shouldn't need the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK. However, if you did want to add the magnetic tow lights just for extra visibility you could tie in that 4-Way to the wiring kit that you already installed. Simply splice it in color for color using heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05744-5. The lights will tie into the ground wire that you already ran. Please...

• Troubleshooting the Wiring Harness on a Truck for Trailer Blinker to Work
  
• The first thing that you will want to do is inspect the 4-Way connector at the rear of your truck. You will want to make sure that it is free of any debris or corrosion. You will then want to test it to make sure the signal is coming through. You can use a Circuit Tester, like part # 3808, to see if there is any signal that is coming through. If you have already done both of these steps, then the next thing I recommend doing is inspecting the wiring itself. You will want to look for...

My recommendation is to use the 5 pin separate brake lights and turn signals connector you mentioned for your Tri-glide and then use the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design # HM47910 on your trailer side. I recommend using a circuit tester like # 3808 to match functions as your colors won't match. You can...
