• Installing Charge Line Kit on 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid With Charging Post Under Hood
  Hi Harry; you have to follow the instructions of the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 so you cannot use the post under the hood. The 12V battery under the seat or in the back is pretty common for hybrid vehicles. What you will need to do is pick up some additional wire # DW07550-1 to run to your connector at the front.

• Can The RV Holding Tank Heater # 372HTH-A Be Installed In The Underbelly With Insulation
  Hey Korey, That's a totally normal installation for the RV Holding Tank Heater # 372HTH-A. My only word of advice would be to run a dedicated outlet for it to plug into with a switch somewhere in-line that's easy to access so you can cut power to the heater as needed since this is going to be hidden in your trailer's underbelly. Same thing if you want to run this on DC voltage instead of AC voltage. DC will likely be the easier route and I'd be willing to bet you have open fuse ports...

• How to Provide Power to Trailer Reverse Lights
  To connect back up lights you need to have a 7-way trailer connector on both your trailer and tow vehicle. On a 7-way the reverse lights are powered by the center pin. To connect reverse lights to the trailer's 7-way you can use 16 gauge wire # 16-1-1, or 14 gauge # DW07550-1 if you have a longer trailer. Both are sold by the foot. If you need reverse lights a couple of popular options are the Optronics LED Backup Light # BUL10CB for an LED that uses a 2-wire pigtail # A45CB to connect....

• Can The Ultra Bright LED Lights Be Used For Backing up
  Yes The Ultra Bright LED Flood Light # 3371492196 can be used as a backup light when connecting to your reverse blue wire from the 7 plug, but you need to make sure that the circuit can handle the power of the light. Each light runs 6.25 amps, since you're running two you will need at least 12.50 amps for them to function properly. They can also attach to your current battery setup when the truck is not running. To add a switch. You can install diode # RM-790 (for one each light) inline...

• Recommended Gauge of Wiring for Trailer Lights
  Trailer wiring generally uses 16 gauge wire, part # 16-1-1. However, with a long trailer like yours you may want to go with a larger like 14 gauge # DW07550-1 or even 12 gauge # 12-1-1. Each size is sold by the foot. You will need to have the lights at the rear of the trailer of brakes and turn signals. Also since the trailer will be 10 feet wide you need clearance lights on each side.

• Recommendation for Submersible LED Backup Lights on a Boat Trailer
  I can help you add reverse lights to your trailer. Yes, It is important to pay attention to DOT compliance when adding lights on your boat trailer. Compliance will be met if you use the Optronics # BUL10CB light as your backup light. The # BUL72CB is purposed for a utility light and will not meet the criteria for reverse lights on the roadway. In order to add reverse lights to your trailer would would need to have a 7-Way on the trailer and a 7-Way on the vehicle. On the vehicle side,...

• Which Pin On a 2018 Ford F-150 Trailer Connector Is For Reverse Lights
  Yes, the center pin for the 7-way trailer connector on your 2018 Ford F-150 is for the reverse light circuit. If the vehicle is placed into reverse then the pin will become active and send power to the trailer. I have attached a selection of our backup lights for you below. I recommend the Hot-Line LED Trailer Backup Light Bar part # 328-003-6017W because its's easy to install and has LED bulbs. In order to run the power wire from this light to the trailer connector you can use part # DW07550-1.

• What Gauge Wire Should I Use for Installing New Side Marker Lights on Trailer
  If this were my trailer, I'd use 14 or 16 gauge wire for the clearance lights. I'd use 14 gauge wire if the trailer is longer than 12 ft or so, but 16 gauge will be just fine on smaller trailers. For 16 gauge wire, you can use our part # 16-1-1. For 14 gauge wire, you can use # DW07550-1. If you need butt connectors, we also carry heat shrink butt connectors, # DW05744-10, that fits both size wires.

• Can Demco Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit Be Used on Vehicle with Battery in Trunk
  In regards to the Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems part # DM66VR, we must recommend you attach the power wire directly to the battery. Therefore, if the battery is in the truck you would likely need to extend the wire to reach back there as this kit is mainly designed for vehicles where the battery is in the front. In order to do this you'd need some extra 14 gauge wire, the part # DW07550-1 which is sold by the foot. It's possible that you can...

• Connecting 12 Volt Pump to 7-Round Connector on Tractor
  As long as the 7-round plug on your tractor has 12 volt power, you should be able to wire your 12 volt pump to the connector. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test your connector to make sure you have 12 volt power on what should be the center pin location. You will just run the power wire from your pump to a round 7-way like the Pollak HD # PK11702 and then connect it with the connector on your tractor. If you need additional 14 gauge wire, you can use part # DW07550-1.

• Can the Goal Zero Adapter Cable 287-98009 be Used to Power a Remote Latch
  The Goal Zero Adapter Cable # 287-98009 has a 6mm input meaning that it is designed so that the power runs to the alligator clips instead of the other way around. This is the opposite of what you are looking for. I can't say if it would work or not in that manner or if it will pop the in line fuse. Traditionally the direction of the power doesn't matter to a fuse but it hasn't been tested for that application so better safe than sorry. If this is for a vehicle and the vehicle has power...

• Parts Needed To Wire In a 3RD Brake Light And In Bed Lighting To a Truck Topper On a 2013 Ford F-250

This will give you a 7-way connection inside the bed of your F-250. By using this connection you can easily remove your topper and wiring by disconnecting the connector. To that you can use a Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12706 to wire in for both the brake light circuit as well as a power circuit for...

  I have an option you mentioned you were not wanting, but at this time there is not a plug and play 7-way connector for a 2020 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis. The only option would be to install one like the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector with Universal Pigtail Harness # HM47210 but you will need to splice into the factory wiring. If you need to extend any wires you will want 12-gauge # 12-1-1 for the red, white, and blue wires, and 14-gauge # DW07550-1 for the green,...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for for 2005 Mercedes ML500 for Trailer with Electric Brakes
  Good news! I spoke to my contact at Horizon Global, who makes many of the brake controller brands like Tekonsha or Draw-Tite, and you should be able to use their brake controllers since they operate on the PWM signal (pulse width modulation) instead of on the output voltage signal. The challenge for you will be to find the correct stoplight wire behind the brake pedal. He instead suggested you locate the CHMSL (Center Height Mounted Stop Light) wire to splice into on your 2005 Mercedes...

• Do Trailer Lights Sparking Create a Short
  Yes, the reason the lights on your trailer are not getting power is because you created a short when the wires touched. You will need to replace the wire that shorted with the wire gauge you were using, likely 16 gauge # 16-1-1, 14 gauge # DW07550-1 or 12 gauge # 12-1-1. You will need to use Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-5 or 12-10 Gauge # DW05745-5 and Heat Gun # ALL836717 if you don't have one. I have added a link to a couple of help articles on trailer wiring which...

• Left Tail Light on Trailer With 5 Wiring Harness is Not Working Properly
  From your picture and your description, I would say that your left turn, tail, and back up signals are all run on separate wires instead of being combined like most of our replacement taillights are. I recommend starting with your tow vehicle by using a Circuit Tester, like part # PTW2993, to make sure that the 5-Way on your vehicle side is fully functioning. Moving on to your trailer, I would start by using the circuit tester to see which of those wires are not working on the harness...

• How to Prevent Sway on your Trailer if you Can't Use a Weight Distribution System and Sway Control
  We have a way for you to reduce the sway on your trailer! Because your custom coupler does not have a length long enough to attach a weight distribution system or a friction sway control, you will have to use the Tuson Electronic Sway Control System, part # 335TSC-1000. This system uses your electric brakes to prevent sway before it begins with a proprietary algorithm that applies brakes based on angle, movement, speed, and other parameters. This system does not interfere with your existing...
