Video Transcript for Bonded 4 Wire: The Breakdown

Today, we're going to review part number 16-4B-1. This is the Deka bonded four wire per foot. This is a parallel primary wire that has four parallel conductors bonded together by this thermal plastic insulation and each conductor is independently color coded for easy identification. Basically, can see that it has the normal four wire color coding. The green, which is your right turning brake wire. Your yellow which is your left turning brake wire. Your brown, which is your tail lights, and your white, which is your ground. Each wire is a 16 gauge and again, on this part number, the price is per foot.

I have a foot of wire right here so you can order as many feet as you like. This is designed for use with 50 volts or less. That should do it for the review on part number 16-4B-1, the Deka bonded four wire per foot. .

Wire for trailer lights, good product.



by:

Heavy duty wire perfect for a small homemade trailer application. Worried about size of wire this was perfect.



by:

Never been disappointed with your products and the free shipping is always appreciated. Thanks for the fast service.



by:

I have bought several items from this company and have been very happy with the pricing, shipping and quality of the items .



by:

The wire, rollers and the fenders were all received in good condition; and are installed on the trailer.

Your site was easy to order from, the price was good; and thank you for your promptness in delivering the order.

Trailer gets used twice a month



by:

I ordered 40' of this for re-wiring my 15' trailer (running it down both sides). This wire is solid yet easy to work with, i.e. separating out an individual wire for splicing, bending, snaking inside trailer framing, etc. This wire is color coded with the 4 standard colors for trailer wiring.



by:

It is wire. However, the length was the reason for ordering as local retail outlets only had 25 foot lengths available and I didn't want splices in the middle of my "toad" taillight connections.



by:

Hi, I am sorry to give you a not so good review but I feel I must be honest. When I received my wire it was in a rat nest I spent some time unknotting it and some of the wires were not connected to the bonded 4 wire by at least 11/2 foot. however the shipping was fast. Thank You David S.



by:

I ordered this to re-wire my horse trailer. product arrived as described! Fast shipping and excellent customer service!



by:

Great for running to back and front of the flat bed for the two sets of brake lights.



by:

Excellent new wire that I used to completely rewire the trailer. Very good quality, good insulation, nice fresh multi-strand copper wire inside. Superb! Very satisfied!



by:

As always my order was received in record time. The products are great quality with some of the best customer service I have ever received. Etrailer goes above and beyond to provide great products as well as very informative technical information.



by:

super fast shipping. exactly what was needed to get my flatbed trailer back on the road. Prices were great and customer support is fantastic. thanks for all the help and great products.



by:

Online ordering was very easy. Customer service emailed updates every step of the delivery process and allowed me to track my order very easily. Everything came in as expected and in great shape. My first experience with Etrailer has been very pleasant! Thank you!



by:

Good product. Recieved order fast.



by:

Excellent product, quality, and exact wire gauge I was looking for. I love that I could buy the exact length I needed without buying an entire spool of wire. I'm using this wire on my utility trailer. I needed to lengthen the trailer wire that connects to the vehicle. I covered the wire with split loom and bought new connectors for both truck and trailer. It looks and functions great! Thanks!



by:

Fast delivery - Ordered on 9/29/17 - Received on 10/4/17
As a benefit, wire is 16G rather then the normal 20G you find in the stores that have ready made harnesses.
NOTE for etrailer managers. I am a technical person by nature and speaking only for myself, when I buy and pay for a specific amount of something, I expect to get that amount. I'm not pinching pennies with you here; BUT, I bought 30' of this wire and when I received it, I measured it twice and came up with 29' 10". Most places I've dealt with in the past where I buy wire, angle iron, etc.. would give you a couple of inches or more than you ordered versus a couple of inches shorter than what was ordered. Very stingy in my opinion and not fair to your customers.



by:

I needed the wire to provide power to a bike rack on my Jeep when the Jeep was being towed by my motorhome. This worked out exactly as planned.



by:

Yet another part purchased for my 10K lb trailer build.
I am planning on mounting a waterproof junction box for my wiring, these wires will be used to power all of the lights on the trailer. I will run separate wires for the trailer brakes and battery. The quality of this wire looks to be pretty nice.



by:

Having all your wiring color coded and matching for accessories on your camper or trailer is a must as far as im concerned. This roll does just that and makes repairs and connections so much easier. It also prevents shorts and incorrect wiring that alone makes it a must have.



by:

Thick heavy gauge wire, with stout insulation.
Not like the thin stuff in a harbor freight light kit.
This is something you will be proud to put on your trailer.

Your description on line was the best of anywhere I found. I'm going to make 2 wiring harnesses for my pickup. I'll be towing it behind my motorhome so 1 harness will be from the front bumper to the rear of the bed for a light bar I'm making. Then the 2nd harness will be from the front bumper of the pickup to the rear of my motorhome. I also ordered 2 12" 4 wire loops for each end of the 2 harnesses I'll be making.

They worked out great!



by:

This review covers an earlier purchase of backing plates and brake assemblies for my double axle 16' trailer as well as new wiring for this trailer after repeatedly repairing the wiring purchased from a local store. The brakes work perfectly and the new wiring is so much better than my previous locally purchased wiring. The only problem I have now is remembering to adjust the brakes between the loaded and unloaded trips. Makes the tires last longer!!

Wires are holding up great!! No more breaks or disconnects. This project completes a refitting of my 16 ft car hauler. Earlier parts included brake shoes and backing plates and a new trailer to truck power cable. Very satisfied with all of the items purchased from e-trailer.

See what our Experts say about this Deka Wiring

  • Installation of Trailer Lights with Red, Black, and White Wires to Traditional Trailer Wire Colors
    Red, black, and white wires are common on many tail light assemblies. When this is the case, you will have red as stop and turn, black as running light, and white as ground. So you will connect yellow to red on one side of the trailer and green to red on the other side. Then on each side you will connect white to your frame or mounting hardware, and brown to black for your running lights. I've attached a video of similar lights # STL69RB to assist. If you need additional wire, use #...

  • Where Does the Transmitter for the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light Go
    The 4-pin round connector that includes the transmitter for the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL will plug into the 4-pin connector on your motorhome and then transmit the signal to the light bar. If you do not have a 4-pin round connector on your motorhome, you would need to add one. You can do this using the Pollak 4-Pole Round Wiring Socket # PK11404. Once you have the plug, you then need to route 16-gauge wire # 16-4B-1 to those pins into your current wiring. I have attached...

  • Why Does Trailer's Wiring have Two Brown Wires
    The brown (running light) wires all run to each other as they carry the same circuit. The reason there is two browns on the trailer side is because there are running lights that are on both sides of the trailer. Aside from that all the rest of the colors match with the white running to the trailer frame as a ground.

  • Does the Brake Output Wire Get Attached to a 12 Volt Trailer Battery
    In order to rewire your trailer, I strongly recommend you use the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit part # HS381-9000 with the Bonded 4 Wire part # 16-4B-1. This is going to ensure you have all the correct wire gauge and the junction box makes for a clean install as well as an easy way to troubleshoot if you ever have issues. In regards to the brake output wire part # 10-1-1, this will receive power from the tow vehicle's brake controller via the 7-way, not a battery during normal braking....

  • How Do Utility Trailer Lights Wire Up to the Trailer Wiring Harness.
    The red wire is the turn signal wire and will be run to the green wire of your harness if its the right turn signal side, and the black wire will run to the brown wire of your harness. The yellow wire from your harness will run to the left turn signal red wire. The brown wire will also run to the black wire of this light also. I attached an FAQ on trailer wiring for you to check out also.

  • How To Wire a Trailer Tail Light with Yellow, Black, Red, and White Wires
    The best way to find out what each wire is for on your tail light is to take a 12 volt power supply and apply that to each of the wires to see which bulb it illuminates. I cannot really give you an exact function for each color as it could vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. With that being said, we have the Fusion LED Combination Tail Light Bar part # STL264RB which contains white, black, red, and yellow wires. The functions of these colors on this lights are as follows. This may...

  • Wiring New Trailer Tail Lights to a Trailer with Only 2 Wires
    It sounds like your trailer tail lights you are using now ground through the mounting hardware. That would be why there are only 2 wires. One of those two wires is going to be for turn signal/brake lights and the other is going to be for running lights. To determine which wire is which you can plug the trailer up to a vehicle and have someone step on the brake pedal while you test the wires at the back of the trailer using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. Whichever wire lights up the...

  • Wiring New 3 Wire Light on Trailer to Replace 2 Wire Light
    I can't be certain what the function for each of the wires are on your new trailer lights, but one of the three wires is likely for ground. Your old/existing trailer lights grounded through their mounting hardware, which is why they only had two wires and didn't need a third for a ground connection. If you turn the light assembly over, the functions for each wire should hopefully labeled somewhere. The most likely scenario is that the black wire is for ground, the green wire is for stop/turn...

  • Trailer Taillight Recommendation to Replace a Bargman 91 Series Light
    The Bargman 91 series lights have been discontinued, but for a similar light you would want the # 30-92-002 and then for the side with a license plate bracket you would want the # 30-92-004. This is basically the same light that you have except it has round corners on the lenses instead of square corners.

  • Wiring New 4-Way Connector on Trailer with 5 Wires
    Going by the colors that you mentioned, it sounds like you have the typical set-up, green wire for right turn and brake, white wire for ground, yellow wire for left turn and brake, brown with green wire for right side running lights, and brown with yellow for left side running lights. If you are using a standard 4-flat connector like part # 18004, you will more than likely be able to connect color for color for the green, white, and yellow wires. As for the brown with green and the brown...

  • What Color Trailer Wires go to the Red, Black and White Taillight Wires
    This is a common question we get on lights like the LED Trailer Tail Light with License Bracket part # 328-003-81LBM1. The original colors you have are the traditional trailer wiring code so brown=taillights, red=turn/brake and white is ground. On your new light black=taillights, red=turn/brake and white=ground. You will connect brown to black, yellow to red and white to ground.

  • Does Trailer Wiring Junction Box Need to Ground to Trailer Frame
    Hey Matt, running a ground wire from the junction box to the frame of the trailer won't hurt anything and can only really help. The ground of the box should be running to the ground circuit of the 7-way connector it is attached to. If the lights are working as-is though it sounds like your setup is totally fine currently. Does the trailer have brakes?

    You have it right so far, the 4-way connector is just as you have stated.

The colors for wiring a 7-way connector are as follows with the 4 colors of the 4-way connector remaining the same.

  • Determining Trailer Light Assembly Functions for Wire Colors Yellow, Black, and White
    On the light assemblies the yellow wire will be the stop/turn circuit and the black will be the running light. So you have the white wires already figured out as the ground so on the right side of the trailer you'd run the green wire to the yellow wire of the light assembly and on the left side you'd run the green. You'd then run the brown wire to the black wires on both sides and you'd be set.

  • Parts Needed To Connect Lights From A Removable Trailer Extension To A 5th Wheel
    Hi Rick, I am aware of the Swivelwheel extenders, though not the Blue Ox ones, so I do have an idea of what you are attempting to achieve. It sounds like what you are looking to do should pose no problems at all and shouldn't be too difficult either, especially if you are familiar with wiring. You will, of course, need some butt connectors, wiring, and both trailer and vehicle side 7 Way connectors. I have a list of everything you would need listed out below, but I included two different...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring That Stops Working When Headlights are On
    Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface. What you described is the classic insufficient ground...

  • Troubleshooting 4-Way Wiring Harness Brake Lights Work But Running Lights Do Not Work
    The color code for wiring harnesses can vary between manufacturers, but the general standard for 4-way plugs is as follows: Green: Right turn/brake light Yellow: Left turn/brake light Brown: Tail/running lights White: Ground wire The running lights are on a different wire so they are not tied to the brake lights or turn signals. Since one function is not working I recommend checking your ground connection. Make sure it is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. You can also try unplugging...

This hitch will work on box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame trailers. If your trailer doesn't have a trailer connector on the rear you'll also need to add that. The best solution is to use Bonded 4-wire # 16-4B-1 , which is sold by the foot and the Tekonsha 4 Pole...

    You do have the option to utilize the air brakes on your 2023 Freightliner Cascadia to control electric trailer brakes using the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller, part # HA100400C. However, we mostly recommend just using an electric brake controller since they tie into the stop light switch of the tow vehicle, making it irrelevant what kind of brakes it has. For an electric brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. A very solid, user friendly brake controller....

  • Why Does 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Have 5 Wires
    Your 4-pin/5-wire wiring harness is what is called a "wishbone" type which simply means that there are two separate running light wires, one brown and one pink. This allows a separate running light wire for each side of the trailer which saves you having to run a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other. We offer lots of wiring items just like this, such as # A35W42B, # A20WB and # A10-4225VP, which happen to use two brown wires instead of one brown and one pink. The functions...
