• Fit of Hopkins Vehicle Side 7-Way and Bargman Trailer Side 7-Way
  I went out to our warehouse and paired the vehicle side Hopkins connector, part # HM40950, and the Bargman trailer side, part # 54006-009, and I was able to get them together but it certainly took more effort than it normally would. The double-wipe design, as Bargman calls is, makes it more difficult for the blades to fit in but once I got them together and the hook secured in place the connection was solid.

• Identifying Type of Brake Wire and Connectors Used on Trailer Brakes
  The wire is likely just a version of automotive wire that is made more rigid so that it is easier to route it through tight spaces. Or it could be shielded wire or even cross-link wire. If you need some wire for electric brakes you can use # 10-1-1. The connector sounds like it might be a quick splice connector such as # 562 also known as a Scotch Lock which is the 3M name brand.

• Installing Bargman 7-Way With Color Coding Not Matching Trailer
  Since the standard colors do not function correctly, you will need to wire according to function. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to determine function of your vehicle as the signal comes to your junction box. Once you know the function coming in, you can match it to the function behind the junction box. To determine that function you can simply use a battery to run the negative to the trailer frame and use a jump wire from the positive terminal to each wire to determine...

• Would the 7-Way Molded Trailer End with 6' Cable # 54006-009 Stay Flexible When Cold
  The 7-Way Molded Trailer End with 6' Cable # 54006-009 that you referenced should work great for you. It would not get stiff enough when cold to prevent it from making proper contact. We have not had any customer come back with that issue either.

• 8 Foot Long 7-Way Trailer Connector for Dump Trailer
  7-Way trailer connectors have a male and a female side and the male installs on the trailer side and the female on the tow vehicle. That's why you are seeing them labelled differently. The part # 54006-009 is a trailer side 7-way like it sounds like you need but is a bit short. For an 8 foot section instead you'd want the Hopkins 7-Way part # H20046 which is an 8 foot long 7-way like you need.

• 7-Way Bargmann RV Wiring Harness for Trailer Side
  Molded 7-way trailer connectors like the Bargman # 54006-009 always have the copper because of its electrical connection properties. The way to keep them from corrosion over time is to use dielectric grease # 11755. This keeps moisture, dirt, and debris out of your connections that can lead to corrosion. This grease actually assists in the electrical connections as well, so it is a help in both ways.

• How Do I Determine Which Functions Are Which On Trailer Wiring
  The only true way to determine the function of a wire or pin on a 7 way plug is to test it using a circuit tester like the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979; unfortunately colors are not standard or a reliable way to determine function. If you're going to be adding a new 7 way connector like the 7-Way Molded Trailer End # 54006-009 to your trailer, you'll want to connect each wire to a battery and ground to determine which function is activated when power is supplied. Once you're determined...

• Troubleshooting New Electric Drum Brakes on Utility Trailer That Do Not Engage with GMC Controller
  Since your 2010 GMC Sierra's factory-installed brake controller is properly engaging the brakes on your RV trailer we can start out troubleshooting by checking on the utility trailer's wiring since this is newly installed. The easiest way to test the brakes on the trailer is to do so independently of the truck. You can do this by disconnecting the truck/trailer connectors and applying 12V power and ground directly to the contacts on the trailer's plug. Please refer to the linked photo...
