Very bad experience. Placed an order on 5-24-23 for an item that showed to be in stock on the website. Receive an email stating that is back ordered and due to ship 6-5-23, several emails later still no wiring harness. Finally 7-10-23 I receive an empty envelope, well not completely empty it has a letter from USPS stating that the enclosed was found loose in the mail. A box would have been more appropriate to ship this item, as I have been in shipping for two different companies for 38 years now. I am unable to upload pictures of the envelope, I will send them via email.

Oh no! Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to look into issuing you a return.

So, I converted my brand new Loadrite trailer to LED'S and wanted to add up a reverse light. I purchased this 5 wires trailer light harness to do the trick. Very good quality and the color code stayed the same. Had no problem what so ever and was an easy swap. I soldered every wires and protect them with heat shrink tubing and that should last a very long time.
Thank you.

Easy to install perfect length and works great!! Can’t see it on the trailer because I have it heat shrinked and wire loomed for protection

I purchased this set to rewire my race car trailer and add reverse lights to the pigtail... wiring went flawlessly and there was plenty of wire and connectors are good quality... even had a dog chew on the trailer end and other than a slight ground issue, works perfectly.

Got this wiring harness for my small camper to completely re wire it. Also got rheTLl28RK combination trailer lights. Nice and bright!

I have been in sales, retail, B2B, and sales management for over 30 years. E trailer has the whole package - excellent customer and sales service, great products, videos for those of us who like to do our own work, fair prices, and my go-to for my trailer needs.
by: jimmy B.10/07/2016
5-wire harness kit is exactly what I need. I hate splicing wiring runs because, in a saltwater environment, this only leads to more chances for corrosion. The only thing that would be better is the complete round plug set-up.
My boat and truck are happy!
by: Hawk08/05/2022
After having this in my garage for about 6-9 months I finally got around to rewiring my trailer with this harness. The harness has been on the trailer for 4 months and it has been solid. I would recommend getting longer than you think you will need. IE if you have a 25 ft trailer get a harness that is ~30 ft.
by: Joseph 07/23/2022
I. ordered this along with marker lights its been a year and they work great.

Just what I needed thanks
by: M Grey01/06/2022
This product was exactly what I was looking for. I was having issues with my trailer lights on a 20 year old trailer. I decided it was best to just remove all of the old wiring and start off new. This product took care of any concerns i might have had by just replacing a wire or two. All of the lights and connections are excellent and I don't worry about something not working.
by: Dean m07/10/2022
Package arrived late Fri night or Sat morning which isn’t bad but I don’t know what your processing time is. I never got a confirmation that it had shipped. Everything came in good shape and was installed on trailer. I would use your company again. Thank you for responding to me.
by: J Paul06/15/2015
Wiring is great. Was given 2 truck tail lights with back up lenses so I needed to rewire my trailer for a 5 wire system. My trailer is 30 years old so it needed a complete makeover. e trailer was a great help. They had a 5 wiring harness and a duel trailer connector for my Jeep. I needed a 4 wire and a 5 wire adapter to fit the Jeep to 2 trailers I own. They had what I wanted and it was delivered in 3 days.
by: David03/06/2013
This wiring is almost plug and play! It is already set up with double brown wires to meet today's trailer wiring standard. And with the hitch-end flat plug and ground ring already in place, it is a quick installation. Thanks.
by: Jay09/26/2017
Needed to replace my wiring on my 18 foot boat trailer. This did the job. Easy plug and play.
by: Werner06/14/2019
Fast shipping and great product. Easy to install on my boat trailer. Will test the longevity of this product over the next several years. But overall very pleased, and etrailer is a wonderful company.
by: John04/16/2020
Great, I think I will enjoy the install, with all that's going on in the World. Thanks for the extremely fast delivery and help with making my selections!
I did make one mistake, the Thin LED Light I order; I think I need to order the base bracket as well!
by: Jack 04/12/2019
Product works well. Installed on boat trailer used primarily in saltwater. Corrosion is minimal.

I received exactly what I thought I needed. I have my trailer rewired and we're ready to go fishing. Couldn't be happier!

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Wiring
- How To Disconnect Wiring Harness On Boat Trailer Before Launching And Still Use Reverse SolenoidWhat you will want to do is keep the wiring harness connected until you have backed the boat trailer on the boat ramp. Then, with the boat trailer on the boat ramp and it sloping down towards the water you can unhook your wiring harness. That way the weight of the boat is pulling down the hill and will keep the brakes from locking up since it is going downhill. Also, you will not want to connect the wiring harness to the boat trailer as soon as it is pulled out of the water. Let the trailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Ground Troubleshooting that is Affecting all Trailer Light CircuitsWhat you are describing sounds like the typical bizarre behavior of a ground problem. Since it seems to be affecting all of the circuits I would start with the connector on your trailer. I would check the ground circuit for corrosion and fix as necessary. If that does not fix the problem you could try checking all of the grounds of your trailer and make sure they are attached to a clean metal surface. You might even try running a jumper cable from your ground circuit to the frame of your...
view full answer... - Trailer Lights Come On and Stay On BrightIt sounds like there is a short somewhere that you will need to track down and correct. A short would cause constant power draw and could explain why the lights come on and stay on. Make sure the vehicle and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion. Inspect the wiring from the front to the back and look for any frayed, pinched, or damaged wire and repair as needed. I have included a couple of helpful links on testing and troubleshooting wiring for you.
view full answer... - Turn Signal on Trailer Stops Working when Headlights are OnThe problem you are having is a classic ground issue. If the ground wire to the trailer frame or the tail light grounds are not connected securely to clean, rust and paint free surfaces then when the headlights are turned the extra amperage draw for the running lights will cause all sorts of lighting issues. I would start by removing the ground wire at the trailer coupler and cleaning up the connection point and re-securing it to the trailer frame. Next I would check the ground connection...
view full answer... - 5-Way Wiring Harness Availability for Tent TrailerYes we do. For a 5-way plus 25 feet of wiring you would want the part # A25W5B. In case you need the vehicle side too you would want the part # HM37908.
view full answer... - What Gauge are the Wires on Optronics Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness?The 25-foot Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness # A25W5B has 20 gauge wires. I have added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - What is the Wire Gauge Size of the Blue Wire on the Optronics Wishbone 5-Way Trailer HarnessThe blue wire on the Optronics 25ft Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness, # A25W5B, is a 20 gauge wire.
view full answer... - Is the 25 ft. Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness Compatible with LED TaillightsYes, the 25 foot 5-way harness part # A25W5B that you referenced is perfectly compatible with LED taillights.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring that Turn Signals Cause all Lights to FlashSounds like your trailer connectors are miss-wired or are shorting out. What you will first want to do is use a circuit tester like the part # 3808 to test the pins of the trailer connector on your truck for voltage in the correct places. Since I don't know what style of connector you have on your truck you will need to check out the help article I attached that has diagrams for all common trailer connectors. If the problem is on the trailer you will need to rewire the connector of the...
view full answer... - 5-Way Replacement Recommendation with Wishboned Trailer Running Light and Ground CircuitThe closest matching 5-way replacement we have uses a single wire for the ground but has the wishboned running lights like you need, part # A25W5B. You'd have to run both of your trailer ground wires to the single ground wire and you'd be fine.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Lighting That Blinks when Headlights are OnSince all the lights are blinking and it's only happening when the headlights are on the issue has to be related to the running light circuit of your trailer wiring. Most likely you have an intermittent connection here due to corrosion on the trailer wiring connectors and cleaning them will take care of the problem. The other possibility is that you have a weak ground on your trailer wiring. An insufficient ground can sometimes cause unexplainable behavior on trailer taillights. You would...
view full answer... - Replacing 5-Way of Trailer that Has Two White and Brown WiresWhat you have is a wishbone style of 5-way that has the ground and running light circuit split for either side of the trailer. You can replace this setup with one that has a single wire by running both of the wires on the trailer side to the new connector if you wanted. We have the part # A25W5B which has the ground circuit wishboned but you'd need to run the two wires to the single running light circuit.
view full answer... - Why Does Trailer 5-Way part # A25W5B Have 6 WiresThere are 6 wires on the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B that you referenced because this has a wishboned running light circuit which means it has a wire to run to either side of the trailer's running light circuit. So it still has the 5 standard circuit of a 5-way but just has two wires you can use for the running light circuit.
view full answer... - What Should Be Done With Extra Ground Wires Found When Installing Tail LightFirst, go ahead and follow the instructions and ground the light to the frame. After this is done, I would suggest grounding the other wires to the frame as well since you don't exactly know what they are coming from or what they are for. This is a safe bet and will prevent you from running into any issues.
view full answer... - Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness for a Magic Tilt Boat TrailerI believe you have what is referred to as a wishbone wiring harness. A wishbone wiring harness has 6 wires and is the same as a 4-way for the exception that it has both running light wires ran to the trailer connectors as opposed to splicing them together and then running them to the trailer connector. The functions should be as follows: Green - Right Turn/Brake Yellow - Left Turn/Brake Yellow/Brown - Left Running Light Green/Brown - Right Running Light White - Ground Red - Reverse Lockout...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness For a Boat Trailer Using a 5-Way Flat ConnectorCurrently the only wiring harnesses we have with a 5-way flat connector are like the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B and 40 FT Harness # A40W5B. These harnesses use 6 wires coming from the connector. It has a short 5' blue wire to run to the surge brake electric lockout, a short 30" ground wire to attach to the trailer frame, 2 brown wires for the running lights on either side of the trailer, a green wire for the passenger brake/turn signal and a yellow wire for the drivers...
view full answer... - Replacing Trailer 5-Way Connector That has 7 WiresWhat you have is a 5-way with a double wishbone, which means it is likely a double wire for marker lights as well as a double ground. You can replace your 5-way with another wishbone-style but it does not need to be a double wishbone with 7 wires, you can replace it with a standard 5-way wishbone with 6 wires. There are a couple options depending on the length you need: - 25 feet: 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style # A25W5B - 40 feet: Wesbar 5-Pole Flat Connector - Wishbone...

- 5-Way Connector Recommendation for a Boat Trailer for Reverse LightsAn exact adapter like what you are looking for doesn't exist, but I do have a better solution for you. You would want to cut off the 4-way on your boat trailer and then replace it with a 5-way like part # A25W5B. You would want to cut all but the blue wire short with this connector and then match it up to the 4-way wiring you have on your trailer. With the blue wire left long you could run it to the reverse lights on the trailer.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Wire a 5-Way to a Boat TrailerThe best solution is going to be the part # A25W5B. What you would want to do is use the part # A25W5B to provide the wiring and connector for your trailer but then use a junction box like part # 38656 to make organizing the wiring and running each of the wires to each circuit easier. I attached an install video for this box for you to check out as well. I also attached a help article with trailer wiring diagrams as well.
view full answer... - New 5-Way Trailer Side Connector for a Boat TrailerYour trailer has a type of wishbone harness with separate wires that share the running light circuit. For a replacement I recommend # A25W5B. The one covered pin is the ground, next to it is the running light pin. There are 2 wires associated with this pin. One goes to the trailer left side running lights the other goes to the trailer right side running lights. The next two pins are left turn/brake lights and right turn/brake lights. And the last pin and wire go to the electric reverse...
view full answer... - Recommended Way To Protect Wires On Trailer Wiring HarnessThe only sort of protection we offer for wire leads such as those on the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # A25W5B would be wire loom, the 3/8" Diameter Wire Loom part # 39035. This can be used to cover the length of wire on the tongue or anywhere else for that matter to help protect from rodents.
view full answer... - 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness that Has Wishboned Running Light CircuitWe do have the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B which is a wishbone style of 5-way like you are in need of.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Issues with Running Lights BlinkingStep one is to isolate the problem to either your tow vehicle, your wiring harness or your trailer wiring. To begin, disconnect the trailer wiring harness from the towing vehicle. First focus on troubleshooting the trailer. Check the white ground wire from the trailer plug to ensure that you have a clean secure ground connection to the trailer frame. Internal trailer wiring can over time develop wear spots in the insulation that can create a dead short. Such a condition will quickly damage...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Turn Signals on 7-Way Both Having 12 Volts at all TimesThe stoplight and blinkers circuits should not have 12 volts of power on them at all times. Typically when what you described happens it's because the 12 volt power circuit is shorting out to those circuits. If you paid someone recently to install the 7-way I would take the vehicle back and have them fix it. Another possibility is that the trailer wiring converter box that was used for the taillight circuits has shorted out due to a short on the trailer wiring. What you will want to do...
