Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the Starter Solenoid

Hello, neighbors and friends. Steven here with etrailer.com. Folks, today we're looking at our starter solenoid. It's a single-pole, single-throw, 12 volt, 100 amp, continuous duty, grounded. It does include the hardware as you can see, all the nuts and everything here, and washers, lock washers needed for the install. There's the mounting bracket that's already been attached to it.

Very, very simple design. It has a capacity of 100 amps at 12 volts. It's a continuous duty and you can cycle it on or off. And the contacts are normally open. There are one, two, and three terminals and you're getting quantity one, one starter solenoid.

A nice one-year limited warranty. It does not, it has not, rather, been UL listed. Now as far as the function, you have a 12 volt power in and out, left and right, and your ignition switch would be on the front attachment nut there, just as the picture indicates. Well, folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look at this starter solenoid. I'm Steven.

Thanks for watching.

  • Should the 12 Volt Circuit On the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole with Test Lamps Stay On All the Time
    In regards to the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole w/Test Lamps part # C57674, the 12 volt power circuit (black wire) will remain active at all times if connected directly to the battery. That said, the LED on the trailer connector doesn't draw enough power to drain the battery if that is what you are worried about. If you only want the circuit active while the vehicle is running then you will need to install the Battery Isolation Solenoid part # PK5231201 which works as an automatic...

  • How to Charge a Trailer Battery Through a 7-Way Connector
    You can put a maintenance charge on your trailer battery with the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way. The 1:00 position of your 7-way carries this circuit. You would just need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), from this pin to the positive terminal of the battery. You should note that this won't charge a dead battery, but it will keep the battery topped off when you are towing the trailer.

  • Fuse Location for 12-Volt Accessory Feed to 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2005 Chevy Silverado
    On GM vehicles of that vintage, the 12-V pin should be hot regardless of whether the ignition is on or not. If it isn't showing voltage even with the ignition on, you're almost certainly on the right track thinking it's a blown or possibly missing fuse. The 12-v feed circuit to the trailer connector is protected by a 40A fuse located in the power distribution box mounted to the inside of the driver's side fender in the engine compartment. Remove the lid and the cover to the box, which...

  • How to Wire Two Batteries In Parallel on an RV Trailer
    When connecting two batteries together on an RV trailer you usually connect the batteries in parallel to draw 12 volts from both of the batteries. We have a photo, see photo at right, that shows how to wire the batteries in parallel. Once you have the batteries wired properly in parallel you will need to connect the 12 volt power wire from the trailer 7-Way connector to the positive wire on the first battery. This connection will help maintain the batteries when the vehicle is running,...

  • How to Charge Truck Bed Camper Battery from Vehicle
    You are on the right track to answering your question of "why isn't the battery," being charged as the reason is that the charge circuit of your vehicle just can't carry enough amperage/voltage to keep the battery charged. The reason this is the case for your new setup is most likely because your new camper has a larger battery and/or has appliances that just draw more which uses more of the battery and the current circuit just can't keep up. So the wiring of the 12 volt charge circuit...

  • Adding Interior Lights to Trailer and Keep Battery Charged
    The best way to get interior lights in your trailer is to have a dedicated 12 volt battery, and battery box like # 329-HM318BKS mounted to the trailer. This gives you the power needed while you're not hooked to your truck. For lights I recommend LEDs because they require much less power, and last longer than incandescent bulbs. Which lights I recommend depends on how many you want to add and the way you want to mount them. You'll need wire # 12-1-1 and ring terminals # 44-5310A for each...

  • How to Add 12 Volt Power Circuit to 7-Way of Vehicle that Does Not Have It
    We can set you up with everything you need, but we do not have a kit for adding a charge line to your 7-way. All you need is wire and a circuit breaker. You'd need a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to run from the 1:00 pin of your 7-way to the positive post of the battery through a breaker like part # 9510 and you'd be set.

  • Charging a Trailer Battery Using a Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201
    If there was a wire in the harness that you found that was also a keyed power source (meaning that it has power when the key is on, and none when the key is off) you could wire it up the way that you described, but traditionally at a 7-Way connector there is not a wire that has voltage when the key is turned on and none when the key is turned off, unless it is the 12 volt power source. It just depends on the vehicle whether or not that circuit is keyed or not. First thing I would do is...

  • Can 10 gauge Wire be Ran from Battery Isolation Solenoid to Positive Terminal on Trailer Battery
    Yes, you could run some 10 gauge wire, such as # 10-1-1 sold by the foot, from the battery isolation solenoid # PK5231201 to the positive terminal on the trailer battery. However, at best this will provide a maintenance charge only to the trailer battery, preventing it from losing any additional charge while that wire is connected and the vehicle is running. The best solution is to have a maintenance charge on the trailer battery as described above but charge up the battery using an AC...

  • How to Wire 12V Battery in Enclosed Trailer to Power Trailer Lights Independent of 7-Way Connection
    You are correct in your description of how to wire in a new auxiliary battery in your enclosed trailer. You will take the 7-Way's 12V power feed and route this to the positive terminal on the auxiliary battery, and you will ground the second battery to the trailer frame, as you described. You might refer to the linked article on trailer wiring to see the usual wiring configurations on trailer connectors. If you want to protect your vehicle battery from accidental discharge (such as if...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where Brakes Lock Up When Connected to Truck
    This is a very common issue on trailers that use 6-way connectors as there is two different ways that 6-ways get wired typically and the only difference is that the brake controller output circuit and the 12 volt accessory circuits are swapped. So what that means is that all you have to do is swap the two circuits on the trailer wiring and you'll have fixed the problem. The picture I attached shows a 6-way pin out that you'll need to use to swap the circuits properly.

  • What Prevents RV Battery From Draining Tow Vehicle Battery When Vehicle Isnt Running
    When you use an isolator like the part # PK5231201 what activates the solenoid to allow current to pass through is is the center pin of the solenoid. You run a keyed power source to this which allows the circuit only to be active and charging your trailer battery when you have the vehicle on. Refrigerators draw quite a bit of amperage so it would be nearly impossible to charge your battery enough while travelling through the 7-way while the fridge is also running.

  • Troubleshooting 2003 Toyota Tundra Trailer Brake Light Always On Hot
    The prong next to the ground on a 4-way flat is for trailer running lights. It should give you a light anytime your vehicle is running for trailer running/parking lights. If it is activating your brake light, then there most likely is a wiring issue and that can be on your vehicle or your trailer. Since there is not a factory 4-way available for your truck model year, we know there isn't a relay issue. The brown wire is your running/park/tail lights. The yellow wire is the left side...

  • Parts Needed to Allow Tow Vehicle Battery to Charge Trailer Battery While Driving
    You may be able to use the existing 12V feed at the back of your truck to charge your trailer battery while driving but you will need to install a battery isolation solenoid to disconnect this line when the tow vehicle is off. Otherwise your trailer battery could drain the battery in the tow vehicle. You will also want to ensure that you are using a wire gauge heavy enough to pass the charging current to the trailer battery; 10-gauge would be the minimum. You can use part # PK5231201...

  • Connecting Ignition Switched Power From 2015 Toyota Prius v to Enclosed Trailer
    You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to find a wire in your 2015 Toyota Prius v that is hot only when you use your key (ignition switched power). When you do that you can simply wire in the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201, which should be wired like in the accompanying diagram with 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1. I have added a link to a video review of the solenoid for you to check out.

  • Will Installing the ETBC7 Universal Trailer Brake Connector Cause Vehicle Battery to Drain
    So for something like the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 the 12V hot lead would get connected to a 40a circuit breaker # PK54540 and then to the battery from there. This means that it'll be hot all the time, but if it's not connected to anything it won't draw any power which in turn, won't drain your battery. If you did want that circuit to only be on when the vehicle is on, then you'd want to add a solenoid # PK5231201. The center pin on the solenoid...

  • Can a 2-Pole Trailer Connector be Used with a Battery Isolator to Power an Electric Winch
    A battery isolator could be used in conjunction with the 2-pole connector # PK12800 provided the winch wiring is 4 to 6 gauge. There are a few ways you could wire an electric winch. I have provided a link that explains the methods for you to view. A couple of the methods do use a battery isolator, # PK5231201.

  • Can 7-Way Junction Box 277-000141 Be Used to Charge Trailer Battery
    If there happened to be a 12 volt keyed power source in the circuits of the # 277-000141 you could use it for the isolation solenoid # PK5231201. Essentially you would need to have the 12 volt circuit of the vehicle already be only active when the key is on. Which if that were the case you wouldn't need the solenoid realistically. If the 12 volt circuit of your truck's 7-way is active all the time you would need to install the solenoid on that circuit and that would get the circuit active...

  • Do Both Wires on ETBC7 Need to be Installed on 2018 Jeep Compass if Trailer Doesnt Have Brakes
    You are correct. If you don't have brakes on your trailer then you can just use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 as an adapter and then only connect the 12V power to the battery on your 2018 Jeep Compass to help maintain your battery level. I do recommend routing the brake controller wire from the 7-Way at least up to the engine compartment though since this is duplex wiring. This will make it easier to install a brake controller if you need to do so in the future. To keep your trailer...

  • How to Wire Up the 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of a 7-Way Connector
    The Deka Battery Isolator Installation Kit # DW08769 would be one option for running a power wire to the 12 volt accessory circuit of your 7-way. Keep in mind that this only has 15 feet of wire which may or may not be enough for you. Typically we recommend people use a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 sold by the foot to power that circuit. The # DW08769 includes 8 gauge wire and a 50 amp breaker. Normally a 40 amp breaker like part # 9510 is recommended. For an isolation solenoid...

  • Can Trailer Battery Be Overcharged when Charged from 12 volt Accessory 7-Way Circuit
    When using a 12 volt trailer accessory wire to charge a trailer battery it would be nearly impossible to overcharge it. The max voltage the battery would ever potentially be would be the same voltage of the 12 volt accessory circuit. Also, these circuits generally don't have much amperage because of the smaller gauge wire used from the vehicle battery back to the trailer battery. Long story short, you wouldn't have to worry about overcharging the camper battery. If anything you would be...

  • How to Prevent Breakaway Battery From Draining Winch Battery Power
    If I'm understanding you correctly the starter solenoid # PK5231201 is not the solution to your problem. Based on what you have described, it sounds like both the breakaway battery and winch battery are hooked to the 12V power coming from your 7-way. This is what I would expect to see, and would allow for a maintenance charge on both when hooked up to the tow vehicle. However, with the winch battery and breakaway battery on the same circuit you see the breakaway battery constantly charging...

  • Isolating Auxiliary Battery From Draining Break Away Battery
    You can isolate the break away battery from the auxiliary battery using the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201. The auxiliary power supply that is needed on this solenoid can be the running lights of your trailer. That way, when your trailer is connected, you can charge the break away and the auxiliary trailer battery, but when not connected the break away battery will not be drained by the auxiliary trailer battery. So the 12V comes into the trailer and runs to the aux trailer battery...

    The Curt trailer wiring harness for the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan is # C56331. I could not find information on a 56187. The correct harness does not have an LED indicator light on it anywhere. There are some adapters, like # C57674, that have LED indicators to tell you a circuit is working on or not. In this situation the 12 volt indicator light will always be on because the 12 volt circuit is hardwired directly to the battery. In order to not have it come on it would have to be wired to...
