Video Transcript for Epicord 7 Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box Revew
Today we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Epicord. This is a 7-way molded trailer plug connector with junction box. The 10-foot length is part number 277-000141. The 7-foot length is part number 277-00142. Here's what our wiring kit is going to look like. This is the 10-foot length.
As you can see, we've got a good long length here, nice heavy-duty jacketed 7-pole cable. That's going to go right into our 7-pole plug. This is going to plug right into the back of any 7-pole vehicle and give us all the signals going right to our junction box. This is going to eliminate a lot of the splicing and different wires, trying to get a connection here, get a connection there. These all can be made in the safety of our weather-proof box. You can see here as we open it up, this is all pre-wired.
Got a really nice factory seal here. It's going to keep out the elements for us. We've got top and bottom entries or exits and we've got side entries. This is going to take care of the brake signal going to our trailer, our ground. We've got 12 volt power and we're going to have all our stop signals, out turn signals, everything we need to head down the road safely. After we've decided on our positioning, we can just use a couple of self-tapping screws and secure it right to the frame of the trailer.
Now we can secure our wire off however you want to, whether it's using zip ties or our customer had some loom clamps installed here, so we're just going to go ahead and use them for him. That'll give us length to get up here to the front and our customer's requested that we just leave this loose. He's got a longer and a short tongue for the trailer, so just coil that up here for now, let's make these connections. Let's get our cover pulled off here. The first connection we're going to make here is going to be for our ground wire. Actually, just poke that right through the plug there, going to run this down and I want to connect it right to the white.
I'm going to add a ring terminal to the end of that. I need about 7 of those and that's going to be part number 44-5310A. If we use an 8mm we can back the nut off, right there, and just start laying our new ring terminals right on top. Now, I'm going to bring my brake wires through, this is going to be the ground and also the power for our brakes. Now we'll run in our 4-pole wires. Now once you've got all the wires ran in that you need to for your box, you can actually tighten down the screws there. There's a little clamp that will hold all those wire nice and secure. Now, it's just a matter of getting our cover back on there. Now we'll just plug it into the back of the vehicle here and we can run through our lights. We have our running lights, our left blinker, our right blinker and also our brakes. And that's going to complete our installation of the Epicord, a 7-way molded trailer connector with 7-way junction box.

Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box - 10' Long - 277-000141
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (229 Customer Reviews)

STOP!!! Wiring colors are non-standard.
The wiring colors do not match the standard. All of the colors are there, they are just rearranged. I hooked it up thinking that it was a color to color matchup like EVERY other product for 7-pin connectors and now I have to replace a special $xx fuse in my truck that I cannot get for 2 days. Not to mention the troubleshooting time.
There are standards for a reason, the products that you sell should adhere to them, or be clearly marked that they DO NOT. Simply listing the colors and hoping that someone notices they're wrong when they're ordering is insufficient.
I have 7 trailers and all of them follow the standard, except this one now.
by: Blais Racing11/20/2016
I installed this product yesterday and it is a really nice product. It would be a great product if the darn wire colors from the plug were the same as the industry standard. But if you go by what is on the small mount that the wires screwed to it is accurate.
I got the longer 10' cable as I wanted to mount it further back than the stock metal electrical box that they mount all the stuff in from the factory. I ended up mounting it on the bottom side of the cross braces on the bottom side of the trailer.
I also installed a seperate fuse box to individually fuse all the circuits so that if anything on the trailer shorted out it wouldn't blow the fuses in the truck.
Comments
I loved that I got the longer replacement so I was able to move it to a more easier place to access.
Dakar D - 11/20/2017by: Chase05/03/2019
It was just as expected. Good quality and no hidden issues.
For everyone else’s essay, the studs are 5mm. So, for the best fit grab you some 5mm heat shrink ring terminals. 1/4in for the mounting hardware. This went on my boat trailer, so I grabbed some stainless steel 1/4in hardware and used nylon lock nuts. I used extension cord for my wire runs. A grounded extension cord will give you your 3 wire runs for the tail lights, a standard 2 blade extension cord for any marker/running lights. Heatshrink adhesive butt connectors on all connections. The wiring info that ETrailer provides was correct for my 2019 F150.
Overall makes for a solid trailer light setup. Highly recommend this junction box.
by: diggerules02/24/2017
This product is great!! It is probably overkill for my little utility trailer but I was tired of re-wiring it for shorts in the crappy standard wire that came with the light sets. This junction box feels very sturdy and has the cable/plug is very hefty as well. Easy to setup. The colors didn't match what my car was but it is very simple to swap the terminals to what you need. I forgot to take more pictures through out my install.
by: Chris F. 08/22/2017
Used this to convert a trailer from 4 pin to 7 blade connector so that I could add brakes. Gives a nice place to terminate your wires. The wire color guide on the product page was very helpful when it came to wiring up the trailer. Plan on putting some type of sealant around the wires because unless you use a large 7 conductor wire there will be a gap where water could get in.
by: Allen02/09/2018
This is worth every penny as far as im concerned. Makes wiring up everything on trailer from plug to tail light so much easier. The junxtion box also makes finding shorts easier since it is the hub for all accessories.
by: Allen03/18/2018
Last project built. Used etrailer for almost all parts, 7 pin wiring harness, junction box, tail lights, jacks vent cover and so. Love the leveling jacks. Friend wants one now so started another one. I will be getting all the parts from etrailer...
by: John05/01/2020
I needed to completely rewire my landscape trailer because of the poor quality of the original components. This is quality hardware. The only issue I had was the color/functions of the new component did not exactly match with the color/functions on my trailer. It was not a difficult issue to overcome.
by: Matthew 06/15/2019
Little over a year since install and no problem thus far with this product. The rubber grommets supplied with it keeps everything water tight. Wires are not colored coordinated! I overlooked that detail in product description and had to rewire everything, lol.
Comments
Actually, theres more than one accepted wire color convention when it comes to trailer wiring color codes which is why we list the function for each terminal/wire color in the product description.

This is a great part It made wiring
in the trailer very easy. It fit underneath the gooseneck and mounted up real nice. I recommend it to anyone that needs to rewire their trailer.
by: Mark11/03/2021
Well I have some mixed feelings about it the cord is built well but the prongs in the end don’t seem very tight or don’t have enough spring tension on them so with led lights they don’t have enough contact all the time. I kept losing the lights or they would flicker. Finally I had to use some dialectic grease to keep the contact. Also the box is not water proof as it got water in it I had to drill holes in bottom to keep water out. I love the idea of it but it need work !!
by: Kristi03/24/2022
This cord replacement was a perfect fit for my trailer and works as expected after a full year of use.
by: Ronald04/24/2018
I just finished mounting this to my trailer frame and it really seems to be a top notch product. It's so much cleaner looking and sealed connections.
by: Randy02/18/2019
I took delivery today and installed it onto the body of my slide in camper immediately. Installation was simple and effective. There's multiple slots for every applications. Everything works great.
by: Dale S05/07/2017
Cord was excellent. I was concerned about the wiring of the plug, but the wiring was completely compatible with my 2015 Ford Expedition and Airstream Trailer. (Yellow auxiliary center wire) No changing around of colors on the wire ends. Great!! It would be nice if Etrailer also sold this cord without the box, as I have a great box inside the Airstream for wiring, and had to remove the box to run the cord through the frame tube. But, for the price of the entire product, the box was really a nice "gift" for those who need it. Thanks, Etrailer.
Comments
It was very well made and we have had NO problems with it. Thanks.

Can you provide a pin out / wire color vs location on the 7 way plug Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box - 10' Long - 277-000141 I ordered. I'm seeing several installs where the wire color on this plug dose NOT match standard trailer wire color. Also it did not come with any paper work or instructions stating this. Example yellow is standard trailer for left turn. This 7 way plug looks to maybe use yellow for aux power going by other install photos and research.
This will be a major set back as my trailer has already been compleated and went by standard trailer wire color. ?????
Comments
There is more than one accepted color code/wiring convention for a 7-way trailer connector. The color code for the Epicord 7-way plug/junction box is as follows: °White ground: 10 gauge °Black 12V power: 10 gauge °Yellow reverseauxiliary: 14 gauge °Red left turn and stop: 14 gauge °Green tail and running lights: 14 gauge °Brown right turn and stop: 14 gauge °Blue brake: 12 gauge. This is shown on the product description page on our website.

Love the 7 way barrel plug! Was easy to mount the junction box and connect the correct wires to the terminals once ring lugs were attached to the wires. Great light/brake trailer system cable and box!!!
Love etrailer.com!!!

fine
Will M - 05/24/2020by: Kenneth01/31/2019
This new cable and distribution box will make the wiring job quick and easy. Trailer previously had a 4-wire system (no brakes) and was not up to current standards for lighting, so I'm replacing everything electrical and adding the brakes. This will help immensely.
Comments
This project turned out great! I really like buying from etrailer. They always have what I need, along with great customer service and fast shipping.

I ordered these items for my DIY project, turning my bumper pull trailer into a goosenech trailer. The parts are of good quality and the delivery was quick. I would highly recommend for anyone who needs something for a DIY project to order from ETRAILER.COM
I went from that to this.
by: Dan R.10/05/2018
Nice quality item, too bad the pin configuration on the plug had all the wires connected incorrectly at the box. What should have been simple "follow the colors" wiring, ended up blowing fuses in my Tahoe and causing me to have to "pin out" the cable and rewire the box entirely. What a nightmare!
Comments
There are many accepted trailer wiring color codes. For this reason we recommend testing the wiring by function with a circuit tester such as part # 40376.

Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box. I have purchased many items from etrailer and this product is another example of the quality products they represent.

Remains water tight and took a unsightly wiring mess and organized it. should have purchased sooner
edgewater - 08/13/2017by: Phil H.08/25/2017
My daughter bought a used trailer for her horse.
The wiring plug wasn't in great shape & there was no junction box,
the cable was only connected to the trailer wiring with wire nuts.
I bought the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box
& installed it. It's working great. Also, if there are any electrical
issues down the road, I now have a break out box to check
voltages, shorts, etc.
by: Brian 06/13/2019
Product received promptly exactly as described. Allows modifying the trailer wire harness to connect to vehicle outlet farther away than previous trucks.
Comments
Extensively, used in the winter-held up to the cold and mag chloride. I’ll definitely purchase again and recommend to all.
Brian - 06/14/2020by: Jim02/17/2020
The cord and main plug seem to be really good and have held up well for a year now. HOWEVER, the terminal junction box on this unit as well as a similar stand alone terminal junction box (ABS-3375601101) I purchased both need some re-engineering. The cover plate for the box is held on with two screws that go into a plastic post molded into the body of the box. On both boxes this connection was very poor. In fact it was so poor that the lids both came loose and the terminals were exposed to water, dirt and grime. Luckily I had located the boxes on the wood decking of my trailer and I solved the loose lid issue by purchasing longer screws and screwing the lid through the box and into the wood decking of my trailer.

- Wire Color Match to 4-Way Wiring with Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug 277-000141Yes, you are correct about the install of the # 277-000141. The wiring colors you mentioned are correct except the blue wire is for brake output from a brake controller. You would want to run the black wire for both the lighting and a 12 volt auxiliary. Unless you wanted to run the same circuit on your tow vehicle up to the battery as well. The yellow wire you mentioned is reverse light typically.
view full answer... - How To Replace 7-Way On Trailer and Wiring HarnessIn order to replace the trailer connector on a trailer with brakes you'll first start with the lead. Then, you'll add a junction box. The Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector part # 277-000141 is what I recommend because it combined the above two parts for you already. If any of the wires going from the signals and brakes are damaged you can simply run new wires using primary wire or if they are still in good shape you can reuse them and just tie into...
view full answer... - Where Is the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box MadeThe Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box part # 277-000141 is made overseas which is the case for the vast majority of electrical products. I don't have any USA options but the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box is still made with quality parts and will last a long time.
view full answer... - Does 4-Way Trailer Wiring Circuit Need to Wire to Trailer BatteryYou don't need to connect the trailer wiring to the battery at all if your plan is to charge it separately. The 4-way can take care of the trailer lighting and then your battery and it's wiring can then take care of whatever circuits you are looking to power.
view full answer... - What Amp Circuit Protection Usually Protects Brake Output Circuit for Trailer Brake ControllerWhen installing junction box like the etrailer part # e99011 that you referenced you do not need to install a fuse on the trailer wiring but if you were asking about on the vehicle side the brake output circuit is typically protected by a 30 amp fuse or breaker.

We won't have a way to create 7-way to 4-way that attaches to the charge circuit. I know you don't want to rewire it but I think going to a 7-way setup on camper is going to be your best option like with the part # 277-000141.

With that being said, there is a much cleaner and more practical way to do this. You can start by cutting off the 4 way connector on your trailer and then wiring those wires into the junction box on the Epicord. Once you've wired those in, you'll run the brake wires from your trailer brakes into the junction box, as well...

- Troubleshooting Horse Trailer Wiring Where Brakes Lock Up ImmediatelyHorse trailer wiring is funny as there's two different ways the standard 6-ways can be wired with the only real difference being the brake output circuit and the 12 volt accessory circuit being swapped. What would have solved your problem initially is if you had swapped those two circuits on your Dodge Ram 6-way initially before messing with the other circuits. If you check out the picture I attached it would be swapping the blue and black wires.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Actuator Activating When Vehicle is Put in ReverseYou must have a short between the reverse light circuit and the brake output if when you put the vehicle in reverse the brakes come on. Since the reverse light circuit is normally the center pin it's pretty easy for it to potentially short to circuits. Check the condition of the wiring connections you made and clean up any obvious shorts you find.

- How To Convert a Trailer From a 4-Way to a 7-Way Trailer ConnectorIn order to convert a trailer from a four way flat to a seven way round I recommend using the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # 277-000141. It comes partially pre-assembled along with the rest of the components you need to make the switch. The only thing you need to do is cut off the old trailer connector and then attach these wire leads to the junction box.
view full answer... - Can I Use My 7-Way Truck Wiring To Wire My Lance Camper Harness To My 2018 Ram 3500I found the owner's manual for your 2019 Lance 850 and it does recommend to use 8 gauge wire with their proprietary connector. Using the 8 gauge wire from truck battery to the camper ensures you have adequate amperage to the accessories in your camper. Since the vehicle's current wiring for the 7-way is not 8 gauge wire I do not recommend splicing into that wiring to install the camper's plug onto the vehicle. I recommend wiring the Lance vehicle plug into the truck separately or take...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller Showing No Connection When Attached to Horse TrailerFirst thing to try is cleaning the pins on the 7-way connectors. Typically a bit of corrosion will cause the circuits to not function or a brake controller to show "NO CONNECTION" like you listed. I'd try that first and if that does not work you can try rewiring the 7-way using the picture I attached as a guide. I also attached a coupler help articles for you to check out as well.

Both options would allow the trailer brake controller in your Silverado to activate the trailer's brakes.
