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.

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

This product is a great way to fix a spot in the wires where they dragged on the ground. I simply cut out the bad areas and attached proper size wire nuts and secured this junction box. 179837

The wiring junction box is high quality, watertite, and makes for a professional wiring of brakes and lights. I am in the process of converting all my trailers to this junction box. 132015

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.

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

Still works great, no issues at all.

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

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 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

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

Economical replacement for my cracked junction box. The bolt holes lined up with my old one, and there were enough grommets and plugs to cover most applications. Installation couldn't have been easier. Some grommet holes were too large for the wires I was using, but a little silicone sealed them up. 594191

Great product if you plan to add multiple connectors on your trailer. Allows you to tie in the two connector cables into the wire harness of the trailer itself and have all the connections easy to access. Also allows you to add circuits as easily as crimping on some more ring terminals and adding the wires. Keeps all the connections neat and tidy. A must if you have brakes and plan to use then with a vehicle that has a brake controller module, and on a vehicle that has the flat four only connector. I can tow my flatbed with either of my trucks and connect the trailer to either connector with no adapters. 578571

- 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. I would verify that is indeed the pattern you need by using our help article on measuring for bolt pattern which I have linked for you. If you have a different bolt pattern let me know and I can make some recommendations.

To do this, mount the battery with a battery box like # TLA7708R and use a junction box # 38656 to tap into your 7-way. You will also need ring terminals # 44-5310A, and wire # 12-1-1 to run to each light. You will also want a light switch such as the Pollak rocker switch # PK34308 or toggle switch # PK34571.

A trailer can require brakes based on its gross weight, GVWR. You want to choose the Timbren kit that matches the trailer's intended GVWR. You do not want to pick a system that is rated for more weight than your trailer will have as this will tend to produce a rougher ride....

Since the dolly comes only with 4-pole wiring you will need a 7-way trailer-side plug like 8-foot # H20046 or 6-foot # H20044 and a junction box like # 38656 to install the 7-way on the dolly. You can use ring terminals like # 44-5310A. This 7-way will carry all lighting signals plus the brake controller's output...

- 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... - Is Actuator Needed with 10" Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly # 23-468 and # 23-469
- When using the 10" Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly for 3.5 K Axles, Left Hand # 23-468 and Right Hand # 23-469, you will not need an actuator for the brakes to function on the trailer. An actuator is used to pressurize the hydraulic brake system so it is not needed for electric brakes. In order to function, the Nev-R-Adjust brakes will need to be wired to your trailer connector. The brakes will then receive it's signal from a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, # 90195,...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add 3rd Brake Light to Small Utility Trailer with 4-Pole Wiring
- 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...

- The Bargman 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 8' Long Coiled Cable - Trailer End # 54006-044 is 8 foot long when fully stretched. The coil keeps some slight tension to keep the cable from dragging, but it will work very well for your 5th wheel connection. With your socket on the rear end sidewall, this 8 foot cable will not be overkill for length and will have more than enough travel so I recommend this over a shorter option. The 7-way connector will have a clip that will help keep this firmly...
view full answer... - Is the Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter # 118158 Waterproof
- Trailer wiring harnesses such as the Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter # 118158 and similar units are not waterproof and so are intended for installation in some type of protected environment. Often this is behind a tail light assembly on the tow vehicle.
If your application requires installation in an exposed area you will need to find a method to protect the harness from moisture and other potential hazards such as road debris. One item that may help you is a wiring...
view full answer... - Will Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector Work With Trailer Connector On 2013 Toyota Tundra
- The Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20043 is designed to be installed on a trailer and is compatible with the 7-way connector on your 2013 Tundra.
When installing this harness I recommend using a wiring junction box like part # 38656. I have attached a link to an installation video for the junction box and also a helpful article on wiring you can check out.
You want to make sure you note what the function is for each wire when you are installing the harness on your trailer.

- It definitely sounds like someone has done some alternate wiring. I've attached an article on trailer wiring to help, but you will have to go off of the functions listed instead of the colors as the colors may have been changed around. It sounds like your running lights are connected to your trailer brake wire on the trailer. I recommend using a circuit tester with an incandescent light like # PTW2993, to work through each function of your connection with your trailer. I've attached...
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....

- 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.
view full answer... - How to Power Enclosed Trailer Lights Off of 12V Battery
- I can tell you exactly what you'll need to power your enclosed trailer's lights off of an independent 12V battery, though there isn't an adapter.
You first need to mount the battery with a battery box for 12V batteries like # TLA7708R, and then use junction box # 38656 to tap into your trailer's 7-way.
You will also need ring terminals # 44-5310A, and wire # 12-1-1 to run to each light, and to turn the lights on, a light switch such as the Pollak rocker switch # PK34308 or toggle...

- From your measurements and the nose of your trailer it sounds like you will be able to use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W with your 2013 Ford F-350 Short Bed. However, you're cutting it close, and may run into issues on uneven ground so I still recommend going with a sliding hitch like # BWRVK3400-5W. It gives you 12 inches of movement so there won't be any question of clearance.
To clarify the offset of the B&W Companion, you are correct that it allows 7 inches with the post in...
view full answer... - Does etrailer Axle Teknology 10-Inch Brake Assembly AKEBRK-35L Include Trailer Wiring
- The etrailer Axle Teknology 10-inch brake assembly # AKEBRK-35L and the matching right-hand unit # AKEBRK-35R come with two wire leads (from the brake magnet) that are just a few inches long. The actual 10-gauge wire you'll use to install the brakes, # 10-1-1, is offered by the foot.
Either wire lead from each brake can be used for hot or ground since these are non-polarized.
Often parts like junction box # 38656, 7-pole plug # H20046 and ring terminals # DW05741-1 are used to complete...
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...
