This works well. I used it for a couple of years and never had a problem.

I made some changes that required a 7 pin connector and removed this 6 pin for possible use later on.

these are just what need, I just got them in the mail about 30 min ago, could not find both parts at local farm store. these look like what I used when I was younger, they worked great then so should be good now. I thought I had a problem, but it was just me. Steve

Great product just what I need thank

Received quickly. Easy replacement for my motorhome teather. Well made.

No problems. Working as designed.

used to replace pollak trailer hookup that lasted over 25 years



by:

Great price.



by:

I got exactly what I ordered, two replacement cable plugs for my tow bar from car to tow vehicle. Package included easy to follow instructions for wiring connections. The cable package from the tow bar company is pretty pricey but these plugs and the existing cable to repair cost around $10.00. I will probably order two more to have as spares.

Comments
Have no issues since the connector plugs replaced. Very satisfied.

exactly what I needed works perfect



by:

Good replacement for the original.



by:

just what I needed



by:

These connectors were high quality by a known manufacturer. I could have bought them locally but I wouldn't have gotten the expert advice and detailed information that I was able to get from eTrailer!. I talked to several people and each one was very knowledgeable. When the parts arrived, it surprised me because they came so quickly! I would readily order from them again if I needed more trailer parts. I used these connectors to adapt a Minn-Kota trolling motor to my fishing kayak and have attached some pictures showing it installed.



by:

I received the plug/receptacle for my 2002 Chevy van promptly and it was the right fit. The videos provided on the site were very helpful in wiring the plug correctly. All-n-all, a great experience and I would recommend E-Trailer to anyone.



by:

Decided to make a spare pushbutton controller for my dump trailer so I wanted a good 6-pin connector that matched what I had. This was exactly what I needed. Good quality. Quick delivery. Good price. Had one hiccup with my credit card, and CSR's contacted me asap and got it all straightened out in no time. Would definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

a complete and speedy order
thanks



by:

I ordered replacement side markers and was pleased to find the bulbs came sealed to the lense. The ones they replaced had twist in bulbs that would work out of the back of the lense. Better than expected product and prompt shipping. Thanks, Jim D.



by:

Works great, what I needed for the connection for my DC fuel pump to my fuel tank I carry in the bed of my truck. I have been a customer for a couple of years now and will continue to be as you always have everything I need then ship it out in a very timely matter.



by:

I replaced the connector ends on the cable that hooks from my motor home to my tow vehicle.
The PK11604 are better made product than the original connectors. A machine screw is used to hold the
Receptial in place as compared to the original which had a flush head wood screw. The terminal hold down screws are stronger and easy to work with when installing the wires.





by:

Purchased some new LED lights for trailer. eTrailer has good prices and a good selection. Shipping was a bit slow but that may be be eTrailer's fault, we all know how the postal service works...or doesn't.

No reservations about re-ordering from this company, I like that George followed up with me afterward to make sure I'm satisfied.

Order with confidence!



by:

Was impressed with the websites videos showing how to remove, replace and wire these fittings. When the fitting arrived the procedures were as easy as demonstrated. Did note however that the old fittings showed silicone sealant around the wire connection points and don't recall that being part of the instructions, but seemingly a good idea



by:

Recieved as ordered



by:

This connector was used to replace a similar no name Chinese knock-off that had corroded badly. Also, I no longer keep the trailer cable connected and left in the elements. Easy to disconnect both ends and store separately.



by:

This item and the receiver were exactly what I was searching for. I have a motorcycle trike, with a matching motorcycle tow trailer. That is what these items were ordered for. Very happy with purchase and shipping.



by:

E-trailer was great to work with . I was having trouble finding the parts I needed locally but they had them all. I received my order in only a few days. Great company to work with. I can't say enough about there support staff. A special thanks to Rebecca N.



by:

All parts delivered promptly and packaged securely. I will be mounting the 6-pin plastic wiring socket into the underside of my Honda Goldwing trunk and connecting the 6-pin connector to my Uni-Go single-wheel trailer.

  • Ground Wire Location on Trailer For Pollak 6-Pole Connector
    Since different manufacturers can use different color wires you need to test the wires by function and not by color. If there is no white wire present, you can trace the wiring on your trailer to find out where the wires terminate. The wire that is attached to the trailer frame is the ground and should be attached to the 10 o'clock position of the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector, part # PK11604. When looking at the connector from the back, the ground would be in the...

    Typically, the connector wires as follows: Brown wire: tail lights Green wire: right turn and brake Yellow wire: left turn and brake Red wire: brake output voltage Black wire: auxiliary If this does not match up with the way your trailer is wired, you will have to wire it by function, not wire color. The best way to do this would be to use a car battery and apply power to each circuit on the trailer wiring harness. Ground the negative battery terminal to the trailer frame, and apply...

  • Which Wire is the Ground Wire on Sundowner Horse Trailer 6-Way
    Between those two color choices the black one would most likely be the ground wire. However, if you hook it up with the black as the ground and it does not work I would recommend trying the red wire. Also, you should trace both of these wires back on the trailer to see where they terminate. The ground wire should be connected to the frame of your trailer. Whichever one connects to the frame is the ground. The ground wire should be wired to the 12 o clock position terminal on the Pollak...

  • What are the Functions of the Wires on a Gooseneck Trailer with 7 Wires
    There isn't a standard for trailer wiring color but the likely functions of those wires are red for left turn/brake lights, yellow for reverse lights, brown for right turn and brake lights, green for running lights, black for 12 volt power, blue for output to trailer brakes, and white for ground. On the trailer side you could either trace each wire back to determine the function of each or you could use a separate 12 volt battery and connect each wire, one at a time, to the positive terminal...

  • How to Wire 4 Trailer Wires Into the Pollak 6-Pole Trailer Connector
    Typically, the wire colors are brown for running lights, green for right turn and brake lights, and yellow for left turn and brake lights. White is ground. To confirm this on a trailer you can trace the wires back to see where they terminate or take a separate 12 volt battery and use it to power each wire to see what lights up.

  • Troubleshooting Running Light Malfunctions on a Kaufman Trailers Mini 5 Car Hauler
    If the other lights are working correctly, the most likely cause would be a bad ground. Ground issues may not be apparent until a larger load is placed on the circuit, like when the taillights are activated. It is also common for tilting, folding tongue trailers, and trailer with lots of moving components, like your car hauler to have grounding problems due to the moving components. These moving components, prevent full continuous contact of the metal surfaces, and interrupt the ground...

  • Can a Vehicle Side Trailer Connector be Mounted so that it is Facing the Ground
    If the vehicle side trailer connector is pointed towards the ground then what can happen is the increased likelihood of debris and moisture getting into the connector leading to corrosion and malfunction of the connector. Also, when a trailer is connected, the ground clearance will be reduced and could result in damage to the trailer side connector or the wiring leading to it.

  • Horse Trailer Brakes Lock Up When Connected to 1999 Ford F-250
    It sounds like either the trailer side connector is not pinned to match the vehicle side connector or there is a short circuit (possibly due to corrosion on the pin or inside the trailer connectors) causing the brakes on the trailer to lock up. The easiest thing to check first is for dirt/corrosion on the pins and inside each of the trailer connectors. Then you can make sure that the trailer side connector is wired up to work properly with the vehicle side connector. I have included a...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Lock Up When Connected to Trailer Wiring
    This is a fairly common problem for trailer setups that use 6-way connectors like the # PK11604 that you referenced. The issue is that there is two accepted ways the connector can be wired up. The only difference between the two setup is that the brake output circuit and the 12 volt accessory circuits are swapped. It sounds like your vehicle is wired one way and the trailer is wired the other way. What you will need to do is swap the two circuits on either the trailer or the truck. It...

  • Running Lights on Trailer Stay On All the Time
    This sounds like the problem could be a short or possibly ground related but based on what you have said a ground is much less likely. Look for any pinched or frayed wires on the trailer and fix as needed. This could cause a short resulting in constant power draw. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side...

  • 6-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation
    Based on the colors you gave me I believe the red wire you have has the best chance for being the electric brake circuit. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the typical wiring of 6-way. Wire color is not always an accurate indicator of function though, so you should check to make sure you know which wire does what. To figure out what the wires all are you can trace them all back to see where they terminate, or you could get a vehicle battery and run a jumper wire to each...

  • Troubleshooting a 6-Way Trailer Connector Install
    By looking at the picture you sent me it looks like the yellow wire is the left turn, the green is the right turn, the brown is tail lights and the white is the ground. Which leaves us with the two black wires. There are a couple options for determining what the black wires are for. You could get a 12 volt battery like a car battery and run a jumper wire from there to black wires to see what functions on the trailer activate. Or, you could trace the wires back to see where they terminate. One...

  • What Function is Carried on Center Pin of 6-Way Round Trailer Connectors
    A 6-way round-pin trailer plug like Pollak # PK11604 has a center pin that can be wired in two ways. The most common function to be found on that center pin is 12V trailer power. This is a low-level maintenance charge that will maintain a charged trailer battery while you're driving. In other applications this center pin will carry the trailer brake signal from the brake controller mounted in the tow vehicle.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes on Horse Trailer with 6-Way that Lock Up
    What you need to do is swap the center pin and the pin in the 2:00 position of your horse trailer's 6-way and the problem will go away. The reason this is happening is that for some reason there are two different ways people wire up 6-ways and the only difference is the brake output and 12 volt accessory circuit pins are swapped. If you cut the two wires and then splice to the other pin it will work just fine.

  • Solution for Trailer Connector that Has No Ground Wire
    Sounds like your trailer wiring does not have a ground circuit for it's connector. The easy solution for that is to run a wire from the ground pin of the connector to the trailer's frame. Your trailer electronics should work a little better now as previous to this it was grounding through the ball mount.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Blinker that Locks Up Trailer Brakes In Sync with Circuit Flashing
    What is happening is that the left blinker circuit is shorting out on the brake output circuit which is causing the brakes to apply in sync with the blinkers. I imagine the brakes are applying very harshly now too as the brake assemblies are getting a full 12 volts when the brake lights come on. Sounds like you have some wiring issues on the trailer that need to be addressed. Best bet is to go over all of the wiring looking for any cut or exposed wire and fix as necessary.

    Do you mean that you're using a circuit tester on your 6-way connector on the trailer (not the truck) and you're reading 12 volts on one of the pins? The only way that would happen would be if you had a battery mounted on the trailer. Typically, the battery is connected to the 12-volt supply circuit off the 6-way to receive a maintenance charge.

    The problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that there are two different ways 6-way trailer connectors are wired. The only difference between the two is that the brake output circuit and the 12 volt power circuit are swapped. So basically what is happening is that the 12 volt power circuit of your truck is sending voltage to the brake output circuit of your trailer which is locking them up.

    It is possible that you shorted out the 12 volt trailer wiring circuit of your truck while you were wiring in the connector.

    The brake controller output pin on a 7-way should not be hot all the time. The only pin that should be hot all the time is the 12 volt accessory circuit pin which is in the 1:00 position. The brake output pin is in the 5:00 position. Typically a short between these two circuits would be the reason the output pin is hot all the time.
