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.

Makes replacing your trailer's connector simple.This product didn't do much for me. It's a minor pain to use and not much benefit. That said, there is nothing wrong with it. 442156

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 have ordered several products for the re-wiring and updating of by 10000 lb sailboat trailer. I have ordered electric brake kits, wire terminal boxes, led lights, etc. The shipping is incredible and fast, and the products are well made. 640109
This product is very easy to install and seems to be of very good quality. I like the way they designed it so it is waterproof and it came with everything you could possibly need to install it. 642028

Service has been great with fast delivery. I will definitely continue to shop at etrailer. 922769
Simple design, easy to assemble, some of the wires are a snug fit, but it works. No mounting hardware included. I’d like to see some nuts & bolts and some self tapping screws for mounting. I’m glad I purchased this over butt connecting my trailer wires to my 7-pin connector. 912148

Nice product. 896962
Works as intended, although getting the 7 wire bent around is interesting. 895765
The product quality exceeded my expectations. The price was good for the value. 881425
Bought a 20 year-old horse trailer and needed to rewire it. I used this junction box mounted inside the channel and hooked up the brakes, trailer lights, accessory lights, brake-away switch and battery. Battery and brakes were #10 wire yet there was plenty of room for a neat assembly. This box was well made with sturdy terminals and was weatherproof. I recommend. 872194

Product looks exactly like picture and functions well. I have used this type of box on all my trailers to clean up wiring. 849530
This thing is awesome and should be a must have for everyone who has a boat with electric breaks. Cleaned up my wiring 10X no more blinking lights traveling down the road. Extremely secure connection to trailer, just make sure you get self locking bolts. Also makes grounding to your trailer a none issue and keeps wiring secure and clean traveling down the road. Easy self install too! 848770
