• 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,...

• 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.

• Any cargo carrier when folded up might block your license plate and no matter what state you live in a rear license plate is going to need to be visible. If you are not carrying cargo with the etrailer.com Cargo Carrier # E98872 and want to fold it to save some space the best thing to do with this carrier is simply fold the edges up, like you see in the accompanying photo. The other great thing about this carrier is that it folds up completely so if you aren't using it to carry cargo...

• Availability of 5-Pin Flat Connector That Retains Separate Stop and Turn Signals for 2016 VW Golf

• Replacing the Jensen Stero JCD3007 with a Jensen Stero JWM10A
  
• The Jensen RV Stero part # JWM10A that you referenced requires around a 11" wide x 3" tall cutout which is fairly standard for single din stereos so there should not be much issue here.

• 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...

• License Plate Light Compatibility with Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness for 2018 Jeep Cherokee
  
• A relocated license plate bracket light will work with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118605 you reference. You will simply splice into the brown running light wire after the converter box to get that running light signal. You most likely will need to ground the light to the bracket if it is metal or to the frame of your vehicle. I recommend using heat shrink butt connector like # DW05744-5 for that connection and weather seal.

• 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 Electric Brakes be Used on a Boat Trailer
  
• Modern electric brakes such as those that come with Dexter axle # 8327812-EB can be used on boat trailers. However, I strongly recommend that before submerging the trailer in the water disconnect the trailer's electrical plug from the tow vehicle. No need to take any chances; safety first! If there was a problem caused by the water it would more than likely be the result of exposed wiring somewhere and not the electromagnets themselves. It is recommended to use heat shrink tubing or...

• Replacement 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Connectors and Harnesses for Harbor Freight Trailer
  
• Bargain-priced import trailers often use lower-grade parts that tend to wear out faster than better aftermarket products.

• 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...

• 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.
