• Is There a Way to Direct Wire Furrion Observation System Monitor to Vehicle Battery
  What you could do is cut the cigarette lighter plug off of the # C-FOS07TAPK-006 and then run the two wires directly to the vehicle battery and you will have made a way to wire the monitor directly. Most likely the wire would not be long enough so you'd need to extend that with wire you have currently or with 16 gauge wire like part # 16-1-1 which is sold by the foot.

• How to Make an Adapter to Go from Semi Truck 7-Way Round to RV Style 7-Way Blade on Trailer
  Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make an adapter to get it to work with an RV 7-Way. For that you would need a trailer side 7-Way round, # PK11702, a converter, # RM-732, and a vehicle side 7-Way RV style, # PK12-707E. A semi-7-Way has separate circuits for the brake lights and...

• Comparing the Hot-Line LED Trailer Backup Light and GloLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light
  In regards to light output, the Hot-Line LED Trailer Backup Light part # 328-003-6017W will physically put out more light than the reverse light portion of the GloLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light part # STL161RLB as it has twice as many diodes (12 vs 6). In order to run the reverse light circuit you can use part # 16-1-1 (per foot).

• How To Wire LED License Plate Light bracket LPL55CB To Exiting 4-way Trailer Connector On Vehicle
  I would be happy to help! To install the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Bracket # LPL55CB on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon and power it through your current trailer connector you will just need to get a trailer end 4-way connector # 18004. You will connect the black wire from the bracket light to the brown wire on the 4-way connector, and the white wire from the bracket light to the white wire on the 4-way connector using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5. Keep in mind that...

• Can I Use Existing Switch on Ford F-250 to Install Power On/Off of Custom 3rd Brake Light Camera
  Yes. There is no reason that you can't just use the upfitter switch in your Ford F-250 to connect the power of the Custom 3rd Brake Light Camera # 3460006 instead of installing a new switch. I've linked an installation video we did that you can use as a reference, as well.

• Can Euro 7-Pin be Replaced by American 4-Way?
  Sure, you can cut off the Euro 7-pin and add an American-style 4-way. I recommend using the Wishbone Wiring Harness # A20WB, which actually has five wires; it splits the running light wires so you do not have to run a jumper wire from tail light to tail light. You will need to do some splicing and you can use the accompanying diagram of a Euro 7-pin to see how they are typically wired. I recommend using butt connectors # DW05743-10 to connect the 20 gauge wires of the harness.

• Connecting separate reverse trailer lights using 5-pole wiring harness
  You are definitely on the right track. Start off by installing the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 on your tow vehicle with the Blue wire running to your reverse light signal. Once that is done I then recommend cutting off the 4-Way Flat connector on your trailer side and installing the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47910 using Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 to secure your connections (wires on the 5-Way are labeled). You can either run to separate...

• Entire Light Bar on Trailer Lights up When Either Turn Signal is Used
  If your 17" light bar has 3 wires like the Optronics Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL59RB, then it is only meant to be used on one side. It sounds like you wired everything correctly. I believe that you are spot on with why it is not working correctly. For the bar to have 2 different turn signal sections it would need to have 4 wires. Since it only has 3 this means that the entire light bar will light up whenever it gets any kind of signal. If you wanted separate turn signals then...

  To connect your Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 40 Amp # 331-BCDC1240D, you will need the 60-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 40-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK60. This will protect your vehicle and battery from potentially damaging overcurrent from short circuits or overloads. You will run the Red Wire from your RedArc unit to the fuse, and then from the fuse to the positive battery terminal on your vehicle start battery. I've attached...

• Simple Light Needed for Horse Trailer Tack Room
  The easiest thing to use/install is the NightMinder RV Task Light # NM-Motion-011. This is a battery powered light that uses 3 AAA batteries (not included). All you need to do is get rechargeable batteries to avoid purchasing batteries constantly. It would also be good to get at least 6 batteries so you can have some charging while the others are in use. Obviously if you want to use more than one of this light then you'll want to get the appropriate amount of batteries. If you'd like something...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Not Working with 2015 VW Tiguan
  Since you installed the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118675 exactly as shown in the attached videos, I recommend testing the trailer functions at the 4-way without the trailer connected using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. I've attached a video to assist. If you are not getting the functions, I recommend first checking your ground connection to ensure you are getting a good ground. Often when one function works and others do not or if one function...

• How To Install Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light As Center Brake Light
  Hello again Marcus; I would be happy to help you sort out the installation of the # STL64RB. You're going to need some extra wire to run this to the center of your trailer so you can use the # 16-1-1 to match the 16 gauge wire that comes with the light. It doesn't matter which side you want to connect the light to so if one is easier to access that is what I would choose. The white wire is the ground, the black is the tail light circuit, and then the red wire will tap into the stop/turn...

• Recommended 2 Wire LED Marker Lights for 2015 Four Winds Siesta RV
  For your 2015 Four Winds Siesta RV, I recommend the Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light with Reflex Reflector- Amber # MCL32ABB and Red # MCL32RBB. These are both 2 wire LED lights that will allow you to add marker lights to your current system without issue. You can simply splice these into your current wiring to add the additional lights you desire. For connection, I recommend # 16-1-1 wire and heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Hitch Warning Lights on Ford Truck
  If there is no trailer connected, then there is something in your wiring that is indicating there is a power draw, but not the correct draw as if there were a trailer connected. Normally this is due to corrosion in the trailer connector itself. I recommend cleaning the connector well and then using some dielectric grease # 11755 to keep moisture and debris out of the connection. If this doesn't solve your issue, then I recommend putting a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on your connections...

• Installation of 4-Way to 5-Way Adapter on 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
  The Adapter 4-Pole to 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter - Shorter # 47515 will connect to your current 4-way wiring harness and you will run the blue wire behind your tail light to connect to the reverse light power wire. The reverse light bulb socket will be fairly obvious as it leads to the clear lens. The Quick-Splice connector makes this easy. I've attached a video to assist.

• Troubleshooting Red Light On Curt Spectrum With Trailer Brakes Not Working On a 2014 Toyota Tacoma
  The first place I would start is with the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51362 that you have connected between the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 and your 2014 Toyota Tacoma. The red light that you are getting when the brakes are pressed indicates that the red wire that connects to the brake switch is either connected to the ground side of the switch or there is a short to ground. I do believe that you have a ground wire issue. The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter 3040-P...

• Installing MaxxAir Roof Vent With Fan to 12V Power
  For your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - Smoke # MA00-06401K I recommend running the appropriate wire and not using a converter. Using a converter for power will make installation faster but will also give you a unit that needs to dissipate heat and that is definitely not ideal for use in a tight space. I recommend using # 16-1-1 sold by the foot to wire the unit to 12V DC power.

• How To Wire the Reverse Light Wire for a Trailer on a 2017 Ford Expedition
  Yes, you can splice into the reverse light signal behind your tail light housing and then run this to the 7-way trailer connector. This is how the reverse light circuit will be obtained on any vehicle without tow package wiring for a 7-way. According to my research, the reverse light circuit on your Expedition is carried through the green/brown wire but I recommend you check this with a circuit tester. In order to splice into the reverse light wire, I recommend using part # SWC501746-1....

• My 2017 Ford F-150 Reads Trailer Module Fault and Turn Signal Faults, and Trailer Lights Don’t Work
  According to what you told me, since it's not the LED lights, you may want to re-check the ground on the vehicle side. Since you are not getting the proper signals to the trailer lights then you will want to start off by making sure your vehicle end connectors where the factory harness plugs in do not have any corrosion on them. make sure sure they are clean and the pins are not bent. Yes, this applies on new trucks. If they look good then you will want to check the wiring on your vehicle...

• Parts Needed To Swap From A Furrion Manual Control AC Unit To A Wall Thermostat Control
  Hi Annette, To swap over to a wall mounted thermostat you'll need the Replacement Air Distribution Box for Furrion Chill RV Air Conditioners - Electric Control # FR57PR and Replacement Premium Wall Thermostat # FR33PR. You'll swap the zone controller # FR43PR from the old air distribution box to the # FR57PR and then run four 16AWG wires # 16-1-1 from the controller to wherever you want the thermostat to sit. I typically just use bonded 4-wire # 16-4B-1 since we have a lot of it here...

• What is the LED Combination Trailer Tail Light Wire Gauge
  Hi Jerry; the LED Combination Trailer Tail Light # STL3RB uses 20 gauge wire. I would match the wire gauge on the trailer wiring, which is probably 16 gauge # 16-1-1 or 18 gauge to add the light. What kind of trailer do you have?

• How to Make Adapter to Connect RV 7-Way to Semi Truck 7-Way
  If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck then you would need to make an adapter to get it to work with an RV 7-Way. For that you would need a trailer side 7-Way round, # PK11702, a converter, # RM-732, and a vehicle side 7-Way RV style, # PK12-707E. A semi-7-Way has separate circuits for the brake lights and each turn signal. And RV style 7-Way has the brake lights combined on the same circuit. So what you would do is use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to determine the...

• How to Install Interior Lights to a Cargo Trailer with 7-Wire System
  While we do not have a complete wiring kit for your interior light for a cargo trailer, you can simply use 16-gauge wire # 16-1-1 to install the light into the 12v power pin on your junction box. This solution provides power only when the 7-way plug is plugged in. If you need an interior light option, I suggest the Peterson Great White LED Trailer Interior Cove Light - 1000 Lumens - 18" Long # 359-3. Depending on the size of your trailer, you can always add more than 1 of these lights...

• How Would Reverse Light Install on a Boat Trailer
  You would need to have a reverse light circuit ran to your trailer to power reverse lights. If you have a 5-way flat or 7-way trailer connector currently then that circuit is already present. If you have a 4-way harness then you would need to install the part # 20036 on your tow vehicle to allow you to have that circuit. The # BUL78CB is a white light that would work well for this. For more info on trailer wiring and where to find the reverse light circuit on common trailer connectors...
