• Both Turn Signals Flash at The Same Time
  The cause of both turn signal lights flashing together would almost certainly be attributed to a poor ground. There are several grounds you will want to check which include one for each light, the trailer side trailer connector and the vehicle side trailer connector. One of these locations will more than likely contain the problem you are experiencing. It is important to make sure each ground is attached to a bare metal surface. It may be necessary to undo the ground wire and then use some...

• Installing GCH Truck Bed Cargo Camera # 3460010 on 2018 GMC Sierra 3500
  The third cable you mentioned for the Truck Bed Cargo Camera # 3460010 will indeed plug in between the camera and module cables also included with the kit. The red and black leads are for the camera's power and ground. The module also includes extended leads for power and ground. I have labeled the picture you attached accordingly. The ground leads (black) from the module and camera need to be attached to a bare metal surface using ring terminals like # DW05705-1 and a screw. The...

• Can 7-Way of Electric Trailer Jack be Cut Off and the Wiring Run to Trailer Battery
  If your electric trailer jack has a 7-Way built-into it for power, like the Buyers Products # 3370093500, then it is completely acceptable for you to cut off the 7-Way and run the power to the positive terminal on your 12V battery. Instead of running your ground to the negative terminal on your battery though I highly recommend grounding it to the frame on your trailer. This will be a much better ground option that running it to the battery. You do want to check and make sure that your...

• Tips for Getting a Large Trailer Wire to Fit into a Small 7-Way
  If you are having a hard time getting the connector wires from your trailer into the replacement 7-way that you have there are a couple things you can try. The first thing I would try would be to twist the end of the exposed wire until it will not twist anymore. This will make the wire as skinny as possible and give it the best chance at fitting in the slots. Or you could use ring terminals like our part # DW05705-1 to attach to the wire, and then attach the ring terminal to the 7-way....

• Connecting Electric Trailer Jack Directly to 12V Battery
  To hook up a trailer jack to a 12 volt battery you need to make the connection from the jack's power wire to the positve post on the battery using a ring terminal, like part # DW05705-1. If you don't already have a battery on the trailer you can add one. You'll need to power it by connecting it to the trailer connector's 12 volt power circuit. You can use part # e99011 if you need to add a 7-way on the trailer. You'll also need a 7-way connector on the tow vehicle, which I can help...

• Grounding Trailer Lights That are Mounted to Wood Rather than Metal
  If the lights you are using have wires coming out of the back like the Optronics Camping Travel Trailer Stop, Turn, Tail and Back-Up Light, part # RVST56, then you can simply connect an extension wire like part # DW02359-1 from the ground wire on the light to the trailer frame and ground the white wire from your trailer connector to the trailer tongue. If the lights you are using ground through the mounting hardware, then you can simply run a jumper wire from the post on the light that...

• Using Battery Charger Included With HM39530 Brake Buddy When Negative Battery Cable is Disconnected
  We've got a solution for you. You'll want to use a Deka Quick Disconnect Battery Terminal, part # DW05312. On the terminal end that remains on the battery once disconnected, you'll attach the ground wire for the charger using a # DW05705-1 ring terminal. This leaves the charger grounded once the negative battery terminal is disconnected. I've provided a photo showing where to place the ring terminal.

• Power To Brake Controller and Trailer Connector on a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 Cut Out
  The power for the brake controller and trailer connector on your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is feed from two studs on the power distribution center (PDC) which is located under your hood, in the engine bay. The only thing that I can think of as to why both the power for the brake controller and trailer connector suddenly went out assuming there were no blown fuses is if the ring terminals on these studs somehow came loose. Therefore, you will want to check the flange nuts on both of...

• Trailer Tail Lights Dim When Brake Pedal Is Depressed
  The most likely cause of the tail lights dimming when the brake pedal is depressed will be attributed to a poor ground. Therefore, in order to fix this issue you will need to either try and clean the ground point or run a separate ground wire from each tail light up to the trailer connector. This should then fix your issue but if it does not then please just let me know and I would be happy to further troubleshoot this issue for you. If you need extra wire to run the separate grounds and...

• Recommended Trailer Winch Wiring Options for 1994 Ford F-250 XL
  To add a trailer winch to your 1994 Ford F-250 XL, the factory 12V power supply will not be substantial enough for the power draw of your winch. You will need to have a separate trailer battery for that function, but you can charge that trailer battery from your vehicle 7-way when you hardwire it. You will need # 10-1-1 wire along with circuit breaker # 9510 and ring terminal # DW05705-1. This will allow you to get the length of wire needed to connect directly to your vehicle battery,...

• How to Create an Electrical Grounding Plate on DIY Truckbed Camper for Running Lights
  The short answer to your question is, no. You're going to be best served by running your ground wires together and grounding them at a single point on the trailer using a ring terminal like the # DW05705-1 and a junction box like # 38656. Since aluminum not is a great conductor of electricity, that wouldn't be a good choice to create your grounding plate- if you can ground it to steel instead that would be optimal. If you need wiring to run all these grounds together you can use 16 gauge...

• Trailer Warning Lights Flash in Vehicles Message Center
  The trailer warning lights flashing in your message center sounds like either a ground issue on the trailer or a corrosion problem between the trailer connectors. I would first start off by disconnecting the trailer connectors and using a bit of electrical spray to clean the pins. Once done, I would also use a bit of dielectric grease like part # 11755 between the two connectors before mating them back together to prevent future problems. Before you move onto the trailer wiring, I also...

• etrailer Electric Tongue Jack With Footplate Compatibility With a 2005 Artic Fox Travel Trailer
  The Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-WBX will work on your 2005 Artic Fox travel trailer as long as you have a 2-1/4" center hole in the A-frame jack mount location.

• Troubleshooting a Tekonska Sentinel Controller
  According to my information the Sentinel Brake Controller does have to be connected to a trailer to operate. There will be a green light that comes on when the controller identifies that the trailer is connected to the truck. After you have this then you will be able to set the gain. If you continue to have no power to your controller after you connect the two, then it sounds like you are missing the 12 volt power wire being routed from your brake controller to the battery used in combo...

• Troubleshooting Ground Circuit on Trailer
  Good job in testing using a different trailer! You've effectively eliminated the tow vehicle as being the problem. You are absolutely on the right track in suspecting a ground problem to be the cause of the issues you're having. The fact that none of the lighting functions are working would tend to rule out a loose connection or broken wire. A trailer connector will typically ground to the trailer tongue. From the trailer connector, trace the white wire to where it attaches to the trailer...

• What Amp Breaker Should be Used to Install Brake Controller Towing Trailer with 4 Brake Assemblies
  The diameter of the stud on the Battery Side Bolt Extender # DW05416 that you mentioned is 3/8 of an inch. For a ring terminal designed to fit that you would want the part # DW05705-1. I would also recommend you go with a 20 amp breaker like part # 9506P if you plan to tow a trailer with up to 4 brake assemblies. Otherwise the warranty of the controller would be voided.

• How to Bypass Trailer Connector 12 Volt Circuit on 2016 Toyota Tundra so it is Hot All the Time
  The 12 volt circuit on the 2016 Toyota Tundra trailer connector must shut off with the vehicle instead of staying live all the time like it was on your Silverados. This feature can probably not be turned off so what you can do is bypass it. To bypass it you will need access to the 12 volt circuit at the back of the trailer connector. On the back of a 7-Way it is located in the 11 o'clock position. You can either remove the wire that is in that location and attach a new wire or you could...

• Installing a Fuse Circuit Tap and Best Location to Install a Battery Isolation Solenoid
  The Firestone fuse circuit tap # F2526 plugs directly into your fuse box. It provides ports for your original fuse and the accessory system fuse. I attached a diagram for you as well. For the 12V ignition, a good source to use is the vehicles radio, powered antenna or ignition switch. The solenoid will allow the 12V feed to remain active only when the vehicle is running; when the vehicle is turned off the 12V feed will also shut off. You will need ring terminals to connect, such as # DW05705-1. I...
