This Old Trailer: Installation of a Junction Box
Video Transcript for Spectro Trailer Wiring Junction Box Installation
Today were going to install part number 38656. This is a trailer wiring junction box. First thing were going to do is find the location for our junction box. Were going to go ahead and install on the inside edge of the tongue. Well go ahead and hold it up to the tongue and then well go ahead and use a drill to mark it for our holes. We have our holes marked, well go ahead and remove the box, and then go ahead and drill out our hole.
Now well go ahead install our hardware and install our box. Now were going to use a quarter inch hardware to install the box to the frame. This hardware does not come with the box. With our box installed, we can go ahead and start getting our wiring ready. Well go ahead and cut our wires to the length of what we need and then well take our excessive length from our gray cable and use the white wire for our ground lead.
Were going to take the white wire, well add a couple of ring terminals, and well go ahead and connect it to the post labeled white and ground. Well also change out one of solid grommets for a hollow ground. With our new grommet installed, well go ahead and fish our wire through, and attach it to the box, and then were going to use a self-tapping screw to attach it to the frame. Now well go ahead and get the rest of our break cable ready, the gray cable will be for our electric brakes. Well cut back the gray sheath to expose our two wires.
Our white wire will go to ground, our black wire well go ahead and post to label blue, blue is only the function for brakes. Well go ahead add some ring terminals to it, then temporally put them into position. Now well go ahead and hook up our wires for our trailer lighting, well also go ahead and run it through the grommet and then go ahead and install our ring terminals. Now the brown wire on our trailer will be even running light circuit that will go to the post labeled brown, it will also say taillights on there. The green wire will be our right turn signal, well go ahead and connect that wire to a post labeled green, and it will say right turn.
The yellow wire well be our left turn signal and that will be connected to post labeled yellow and left turn. Now these wires have been loosely installed. Next well go ahead and wire our trailer connector, this is going to be a seven molded trailer wire connector, eight foot long, part number h20046. You see the seven pole and we have our wires. Once thing to know about this is that the functions do not match the colors better on the trailer. Now on the other side of the box well go ahead and replace them with solid grommets with a hollow grommet and well go ahead and run that over our wire that we can go ahead and push the wire back into the box. Then well go ahead and add our ring terminals to our wires. Now well go ahead and start attaching our wires, well start off with the green wire from the seven-pole which will be our running lights; this will be connected to the post with the brown wire from the trailer lights. The brown wire will be our right turn so that it will be connected to the post with the green wire from the trailer lights. The red wire will be the left turn function on the seven-pole, so well connect that to the post with the yellow wire from the trailer lights. Our blue wire will be our brake control power, so well hook that up to the post labeled blue. Now our yellow wire is usually reserved for reverse light or whatever function youd like. However, this application is not being used, so well just ignore that wire. Our black wire will be our 12 volt power supply, however this trailer is not using it right now, but well keep it to the junction box for our upgrade in the future. Well now go ahead and take our white wire push it to the ground from our towing vehicle that will be transferred to the trailer and well connect that back up to the white post, well get two white wires. With all of the wires in place well go ahead and tighten down the nuts. Next well go ahead and install the clamp from the wires that come in from the trailer side. Looking at the box on the left hand side there is provision for a clamp. Well make sure everything is pushed together properly and wont get pinched, well go ahead and install the cover. Well fasten and replace of these two bolts. Thats what it takes to install our junction box. All right with that it will finish it for our install of part number 38656, a trailer line junction box on this new trailer.

This an excellent device that makes trailer wiring easy an easy to maintain. Highly recommend the box if one has the room to install it which some of my trailers dont.

We wanted both a 7-wire and a 4-wire plug on the same trailer. This junction box made the installation very easy. If your connecting the Hopkins 7-wire harness to this box, you'll probably have to ignore the wire colors names and just use the location (R Turn, etc.). Both are marked on each terminal. There are 5 different openings to choose from to route the wiring to this box and it comes with both rubber grommets to run wiring through and rubber plugs for the openings not used. A downside is that only the side with 2 openings has wire hold downs on the inside. It would have been nice if at least the opening on the opposite end also had such a feature. It's fairly water tight and installed easily onto the frame, under the trailer. Because it's lightweight plastic, I'm not so sure how long it'd last in the direct sunlight if it was mounted on the tongue or other exterior location. 106238

This junction box made it very nice to hook up my trailer plug to the trailer wires rather than individually connecting them and trying to keep them sealed from the elements. It also made a much cleaner set up. The box itself is made of a rigid but flexible plastic rather than a hard plastic that tends to break. 528876

I have used errailer at different times. Each time their products have been the absolute best. Their phone clerks are knowledgeable of product and service. Shipment time has always been extreamly prompt, sometimes as little as 2 days, retailer is unaware that I grew up in a fleet service shop, I owned and operated my own for 20plus years. I also have a [retail] store that uses their service, a simple ITS THE BEST is all I should say! 343776

Well made product with a great design. The only criticism I have of the product is the cheap flat head screws provided with it. They should be stainless and the smaller ones Phillips head. If the screws were of be it would have gotten a five star rating. 341553

I love these boxes. I've repaired numerous trailers my sons and I own, including cargos, flat beds and horse trailers. I really like the grommet locations, cable clamping and posts for wire connections. There is plenty of room inside to neatly route wires. 108409

I am very happy with this purchase this 7 wire box. Is just what I was looking for when I rebuilt a 1997 car trailer all the wires I have run to this makes my job look like it came from the factory that way ! I am also pleased to note that at the time of my order I mess up on the shipping didn’t notice it until I receive an email from E trailer explaining it an that they upgraded my shipping at no additional charge to me. As it says on the box when it arrived the bottom of the box should not be the end of our relationship an it won’t be definitely will order more from E Trailer !!!! 572518

Installed in about 30 minutes, made install a breeze and took the mess out of a rats nest of wiring spliced under the trailer. Comes with plenty of grommets and all hardware to put together. You need to supply the bolts or screws to mount this to your trailer. Each terminal is labeled for what connects to it taking the guess work out of matching wires up. 442709

Rewired my trailer and used this junction box to go from my main cable to all the individual lights and brakes. It worked great, the only thing I didn't like about it was that it only had two cable clamps on the inside 314692

For the price, I expected this to be higher quality. The junction box is functional and the labeling is excellent, however, the plastic is weak and the screws provided tend to tear up the plastic and may not work well at all if the box is opened or the cables are adjusted more than once. Problems with the junction box: - Strain relief screws protrude through the bottom of the box, compromising the moisture seal. When tightening the cable clamps, the screws are too long and cut through the bottom of the box. - Plastic is weak: When tightening the screws that hold down the lid, the bottom of the box becomes distorted. - terminal block is not well secured to the box. Only two rivets hold the terminal block to the box and even moderate torque on the terminal screws causes the terminal block to wiggle. 326689

I installed this J-box over the weekend, and overall I'm pleased with its construction, particularly quality-per-dollar. The one 'concern' I have is that the grommets seem rather frail. After sliding over the 7-way wiring (H20046), I ripped the grommet as I slid it into the box. My guess is that it'll stay water tight for a minimum of several years living outdoor in the UV light, at which point I'll figure out some other way to keep it water tight, if needed. The J-box fits neatly inside the channel-iron frame of my trailer. The next time I need to wire a trailer, I'll certainly install one of these; a great value compared with piecing something together from the electrical supply section of my local Big-Box Store. 73670

Junction box was great had it installed and wires hooked up in a little over an hour. Service and shipment was better than expected. Will definitely use etrailer for more of my needs, very good company. The only thing that took a while was the molded seven connector wire colors don't all follow standards, but a test light and a few minutes and it was figured out. 209099

Very good value for the money. Not the best unit on the market but the price point was perfect for my project. Each terminal is labeled inside for ease of installation. The ONLY thing I wish it had is a seal for the cover, however I will just use a bead of silicone to seal it. 643342

I purchased this product after researching current trailer rewiring methods. I recently had my entire 18' trailer wired and upgraded. The trailer is 8 years old and I wanted to replace the original 4 way trailer harness which the trailer manufacture had surrounded in electrical tape which also needed an adapter. After some research, I opted for this 7 way pigtail (50-67-005) which is the connector I needed my trucks and this junction box. (all contacts were current) The junction box is sturdy and well made, we installed 7 way wire within the box with a snug fit. The trailer now has a clean professional appearance and most test functions can be performed from the junction box location. The junction box was installed behind the trailer tongue frame to minimize the weather elements. This product appears to seal well as the product description indicates. I am very satisfied with this product and Etrailer's customer service. 59585

I had a week before vacation. So I decided to replace (wait till the last moment right?) my damaged 7-way trailer electrical connector on my travel trailer which I had recently purchased from etrailer. I found that the junction box inside the trailer was damaged from repairs done by the previous owner. In a panic I ran into the house, got on etrailers excellent website, and found the exact replacement junction box for my trailer. With little hope, I ordered the part and paid for 3-day expedited shipping. My part arrived a day early and the installation went fine. Thank you etrailer! You stocked my particular junction box and shipped it ASAP. Thank you so much! 719887

This box was used as part of an electric brake conversion on my trailer. This box was an excellent means of connecting the existing wiring and the new brake wiring into the new 7 way trailer connector. It has the required breakouts and grommets needed to make the wiring task the easiest part of the conversion. 674323

For a neat install and ease of replacement later if necessary, theres no better way to go than a junction box.

I purchased my 7x16 cargo trailer less than a year ago (A Major Trailer Co.) All was good until the marker lights shorted out and burned the wiring inside THEIR junction box. They used a metal commercial building junction box on the outside and underneath the trailer. Not sealed. The grime I found inside. What the heck Major Trailer Co! If I had known that was the kind of craftsmanship being put in place I would not have purchased the trailer. Thank goodness for etrailer. I ended up replacing the junction box I purchased from etrailer and the 7pin plug from the tongue back. Thank you etrailer! 666416

- The brakes you have chosen, # 23-468-469, are compatible with the hub and drum assembly # 84556UC3-EZ and those assemblies will fit the Dexter 3.5K EZ Lube axle. The thing about this hub and drum is the bolt pattern. It has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern which is not very common anymore.

- To add a 3rd brake light to a trailer's existing lighting will require a signal converter to separate out the brake signal from the turn signals that are combined by trailer wiring. You need the converter # 118158 to provide a brake-only output signal to prevent the 3rd brake light from flashing like a turn signal.
In your particular application you will not need diodes but you may need a load resistor # P230004C to let the high-efficiency LED brake light function correctly with other...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring For 1995 Ranger 690T Boat Trailer
- I did some research and found that your boat is 18-ft 9-inches long. You did not say if your trailer has brakes included which will make a difference when installing the wiring.
If you do not have brakes on the trailer and you only need wiring for the lights I recommend part # A35W42B. This is a 35-ft long harness and it has a 4-way flat trailer connector included. This is a wishbone harness that means the running light is split at the connector and the brown running light wire is run...

- The 1970s Scamps are really cute vintage trailers and we can certainly help you with your re-wiring project. We have all wiring parts you'll ever need plus a wide range of trailer lights if you need light fixtures too. Our main page for trailer wiring items is linked and this includes many product categories you can just click on.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Rewire Triple Axle Gooseneck Trailer with Brakes
- Since you mentioned that you want to rewire the whole trailer we will start off with a 7-way connector. For this you can use part # H20046 which will give you 8 ft of wire to start with.
I then recommend using a junction box like part # 38656. This will mount to your trailer frame and you will use the posts inside the box to attach the wiring. This will make the rewiring process as easy and clean as possible.
Next you will need to figure up how much wiring you will need. In this case...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring and Bracket for Double Trailer Towing
- It sounds like you are wanting to have two trailers in line. If this is the case and you are towing double, I recommend the Submersible, Under 80" LED Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wiring Harness # TLL9RK you mentioned and suggest using a junction box like # 38656 along with the mounting bracket # 18144 you mentioned. Then you would just need a second light kit for the rear trailer.
I'd run the wiring on the first trailer from the tongue to the junction box at the rear and then run the...
view full answer... - Should an Electric Trailer Jack Run Off of a Trailer Breakaway Battery
- The trailer jack should very much NOT be powered by the breakaway battery. That was likely done by the previous owner for convenience. The breakaway battery is a dedicated battery for the breakaway system only. It needs to be able to apply the trailer brakes on full for 15 minutes.
If the jack was to run down the battery then the breakaway system would not be able to power the brakes for long enough.
Also, a breakaway battery is too small for the power needs of a jack. Most breakaway...
view full answer... - Recommended Surge Brake Actuator With Electric Lockout For Drum Brakes
- We do have a surge actuator that has an electric lockout for drum brakes.
I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator, part # T4339720. This actuator is adjustable to fit 1-7/8, 2, and 50-mm hitch balls and is a bolt-on for 3 inch wide trailer tongues. The breakaway kit is included with this actuator.
If you have a 7-way connector on the back of your Expedition, you will need to change the trailer connector to match. I assume you have a 4-way connector. I recommend a 7-way connector...
view full answer... - Wiring for Lights Using Junction Box # 38656
- If you take a look at the photos I've attached you can see how the wires from a 7-way connector can be run to junction box # 38656. You would also need ring terminals # 44-5310A.
I've added a link to a video review, as well as an install of this junction box for you to take a look at.

- Per the owner's manual for your 2015 Mirage, it cannot be flat-towed.
You can, however use a tow dolly like the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, part # RM-2000-1. Using a tow dolly does eliminate the need for base plates on your mirage and also the need for a tow bar.
You will need a brake controller like part # 90885. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.
Since the tow dolly comes with a 4-way connector you will need to replace...
view full answer... - Will Curt Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196 Cause LED 3rd Brake Light to Blink
- The Curt Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196 that you purchased (along with some additional trailer lighting) separates the combined stop/turn signals fed to it into discrete stop and turn signals that can be fed to the individual lights. Since your toy hauler has incandescent lights on it the addition of a LED third brake light should not pose any issues related to current demand.
This vehicle-to-vehicle converter connects at the toy hauler lights at the rear of the trailer....

- The wiring for the Tekonsha breakaway kit # 50-85-313 and trailer wiring junction box # 38656 is listed below. You can also view the picture to the right.
The breakaway kit will have 3 wires to hook up where as the breakaway switch will have 2 wires. Take either brake switch wire and connect to the blue wire from the battery box. The other switch wire is output to the trailer brakes. White is ground and black will connect to the 12 volt circuit from the 7-way connector.

- The wiring I would go with, based on your dual axle trailer with 1 axle electric brakes, is the 7-way molded connector (10 feet long) # 50-67-005. The wire is insulated which protects it well from the elements. I recommend getting a junction box like # 38656 because it makes it easier to diagnose problems when using a junction box. If you need wiring from the junction box to the brake assemblies, you can use duplex wire # 10-2-1.
Protecting your wiring from corrosion and moisture is...

- The switch on your pin box is probably the breakaway switch. One wire from the switch will go to a 12v battery on the trailer and the other wire will tap into the electric brake wire on the trailer (typically a blue wire). I have attached an installation video for a breakaway kit to give you an idea of how it is installed.
The wires that you listed on your trailer are not all common colors, so the best way to determine the function of each wire is to use an independent 12 volt power...

- Thank you for the spec sheet on the axle you have on your trailer. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that you do not need to replace your axle, you can just upgrade the one you have.
They told me that you have the brake mounting flange mounted on your axle so what you will want to do is add a new hub and drum, the brakes, and wiring for your trailer, and you should be good to go.
The hub and drum I recommend is the etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AKHD-545-35-G-K....

- Yes there is, you would need to install the Curt Trailer Wiring harness part # C59496 on your ambulance and it will convert the separate trailer wiring to a combined signal that would work well on your trailer.
I attached installation instructions and an install video that shows a typical installation to show you how to test the circuits and install this harness.

- In order to use a surge coupler, you'd need to replace the coupler on your trailer, as well as the brake assemblies and possibly the brake drums. You'd also need to run brake lines. Honestly, your most economical and safe way to proceed here would be to complete the wiring on your trailer, and install a 7-way and a brake controller.
Installing the brake controller would be a pretty simple process. I'd recommend you go with a proportional brake controller, like the Tekonsha Primus, part...

- If you can give us the brand of the axle and the weight capacity, we can probably find everything you need.
There are a few things to consider when converting the surge brakes to electric on your boat trailer. I have attached a helpful article that explains what is needed to add electric brakes to a trailer. The first thing you will need to know is the weight rating of your axle. This should be on a sticker or plate.
Next you will want to select hub/drum assemblies that use the same...

- I did some research on your ShoreLandr trailer and found it has a weight capacity of just under 3,000-lbs. To add electric brakes to your trailer I recommend part # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand and part # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left side of the trailer. These assemblies have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange pattern.
For a hub and drum I recommend part # AKHD-550-35-K. This hub and drum assembly includes Inner bearing (L68149) and race, outer bearing (L44649) and race, grease seal,...
