I would like to really thank the team at etrailer for making my order correct. George, Amy and Carol all worked well with communication with me when there was a small issue with the amount of connectors I ordered. They made things right and I have nothing but appreciation for their work and attention to detail to help me out. Thank you again and I will be doing business again!! A+

I ONLY USE THESE TYPE OF BUTT CONNECTORS FOR TRAILER BRAKE AND LIGHTING WIRING.
by: Marty R08/31/2019
Just upgraded to a 2016 Odyssey and need to tow my camper.
Purchased the OEM hitch and OEM custom harness (from car to 4 pin on hitch. OEM Hitch comes with nice beefy flange where the 4 pin connector mounts. But I needed a 7 pin for electric brakes and bought this ETBC7 kit to do the job.
I ended up cutting a custom hole in the bumper cover and figuring a way to mount the bracket in this kit directly to the OEM hitch. Wanted to share photos of the install for anyone else in the same boat. Advantage of my install is that the 7 pin is mounted above the bracket, protecting it from injury from low clearance obstacles on the road. One Con, is I had to mount it upside down so it didn't interfere with the metal bumper under the bumper cover.
One issue I remember is that the Ground wire on the 7 pin harness didn't come close to reaching an available frame member, at the side of the car. I had to cut off the ring lug and extend it out to the edge of the car to complete the install. But it is done now!

Exactly what I needed to rewire a 20-year-old trailer that was starting to show it's age with inconsistent lighting performance and continuity issues. In addition to purchasing this lighting harness, I upgraded all my incandescent bulb side markers and taillights with LED units and complete rewired the trailer. etrailer had everything I needed in one place with excellent pricing and superb service. Everything is working great and I love the brightness and visibility of the LED lights.

Perfect finish to installing a water tight LED light kit on my PWC trailer. These are of good quality and I had plenty to spare.

Still water tight and working, would buy again.

I had trailer light problems (who hasn't?) and found etrailer on the web. The site was extremely well organized and made it easy to find what I was looking for.
I had a question regarding the kind of wire connector needed. It was answered promptly by E-mail.
The lights and connectors arrived as promised and the installation was straightforward thanks to the videos on the site.
by: Mike G12/15/2016
couldn't use the wire connectors, to small for the wires on truck and trailer wiring harness. The trailer hitch fit good and the wiring harness was as advertised. No problem installing either of them

Just received my order of new backing plate assemblies and some misc small parts. Ordered on line late Sunday night, confirmed I had ordered the right parts Monday morning before shipment went out. Customer service by phone was superb and the gal I talked with was perfect. Shipment was on my porch Friday afternoon. I did open box and inspect shipment that arrived completely intact/good shape and all looked good at this point. Not sure when will get to the brakes on the trailer but will post again when the job is done. So far nothing but good to say about Etrailer.com. Regards, John.

Being a new boat owner I was quickly overwhelmed by what I didn't know. Re-wiring, re-lighting my trailer was my first project. etrailer has a wide range of products, but most important to me, was their added product information and instructional information which helped me make the right selections to get this done. Add to that is their very competitive prices. etrailer will be my go to source for my future trailer needs.
by: Bruce04/29/2017
Order was complete and delivered in a timely manner. Only problem (minor) was the 7way pigtail was not wired to color code. Had to use test light to get 3 of the wires in correct location. Could be a problem if someone wasn't comfortable with ringing out wires.
by: Erich W.06/03/2019
I really like the idea of any outdoor wiring connector that has self-sealing heat shrink. I don’t agree with the suggestion of using a lighter to activate the heat shrink—use a proper heat gun designed for this.
by: Philip02/06/2021
Good product but, too small for brake wiring. You did not have the right size.

We recommend 10 or 12 gauge wiring for trailer brakes. The Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation part DW05745-5 will work well for you.

Products very good. Installed easily. Look good and work well. Only problem was shrink tubing way too small to fit over connectors. Otherwise everything fine. No biggie. !!

I was very pleased with my brake shoes. The installation went smoothly. The packaging could have been better. The box arrived in a beat up condition, but the contents were okay.
by: Brian DeGuire07/04/2017
I have to say it's an absolute pleasure dealing with etrailer. Not only did my package arrive on time as promised but the experience of dealing with the people at etrailer such as Tommy and Dani made it that much more of fun experience. There was not a problem with answering my questions if they did not know the answer they found out the answer and got back in touch with me. Their prices are great their products are good quality and there's so many good things to say about the company that I could go on and on. Keep up the good work and I will be doing all my trailer business with etrailer. Just check out their website and see how much more they have to offer.

Item was exactly as ordered and of high quality. I had a question as to which of two wiring connections I needed for the lights I purchased. My questioning email was answered immediately and correctly. Good customer service.

But sold in lots of 10 and a full package is 25 pieces
need to sell in unopened bags of 25 instead of 25 in one bag and 5 in another
Always fishing them out of the bottom of the box

See what our Experts say about this Deka Wiring
- Can Hair Dryer Be Used For Deka Heat Shrink Butt ConnectorsA hair dryer is exactly what works great when using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector, part # DW05743-10. Using these butt connectors will help keep any moisture and dirt out of the connection for you.
view full answer... - Best Way To Connect Multi Wires and Lights on a Boat TrailerThe best way to make water tight wire connections on a trailer are with heat shrink butt connectors; the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors part # DW05743-10 for 22-18 gauge, part # DW05744-10 for 16-14 gauge, and part # DW05745-10 for 12-10 gauge. If you need to combine multiple wires, choose the smallest size that both wires will fit inside so you can get a tighter seal on the heat shrink tubing.
view full answer... - Installing Fog Lights By Splicing Into OEM Wiring Harness in 2017 Ram 2500We do not have a harness to wire your fog lights to your OEM fog light assembly. I recommend splicing into your fog light harness to hardwire your new fog lights. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to determine wiring function and then use butt connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05743-10 to make your connections.

I recommend cutting the harness as you stated and connecting them to a 4-way flat trailer connector to be compatible with your truck. To do this, you will simply need the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - Ergonomic Design # HM48110 and a few butt connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Red - Qty 10 # DW05743-10. You may need to test each trailer wire for function using a battery...

These four functions are ground, tail light, right turn, and left turn.

- Replacement Trailer Taillights for Trailstar Boat TrailerThe Wesbar taillights you were looking at # 403026 and # 403076 would be a great replacement for your Peterson lights, I can even help you transfer the plugs to the Wesbar lights. First you will want to use wire snips to snip the plug off your currently light, I recommend doing this closer to the light than the plug to allow for extra wire to work with. Next you will need some butt connectors, I recommend the heat shrink type like Deka # DW05743-10, these will help keep moisture from...

- What Gauge Wire Is Used On the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness?The Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness - 20' Long # HM48240 uses 18 gauge wire for the 3 lighting functions and 16 gauge for the ground wire. This is standard size wire for a 4-way flat harness, but the ergonomic grip on the connector for the easy pull disconnection is what sets this harness apart from others. I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Red - Qty 10 # DW05743-10 for your light connections.
view full answer... - Is Heat Shrink Tubing Included in Deka Butt Connector DW05743-10The Deka 22-18-gauge butt connector 10-pack, part # DW05743-10, already has built-in heat shrink tubing on the connectors so it is not necessary to add it. If you want to add an additional layer of protection from moisture and other contaminants you can apply Deka Self-Fusing Auto Tape # DW04367 around the entire connector after you have applied heat to the heat-shrink tubing.
view full answer... - Recommended Wire Connector Used To Attach Lights On Boat Trailer In order to join lights together on a boat trailer you'll want to use heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05743-10, part # DW05744-10, and part # DW05745-10 as they keep out moisture which reduces the chance for corrosion that cause lighting issues. If you need to tie multiple wires together, you can do so using one of the larger butt connectors. In order to seal these connections you also need a heat gun, the Trades Pro Dual Range Heat Gun w/ Nozzles part # ALL836717. I have attached...
view full answer... - Gauge of Butt Connector to Use with Wesbar Submersible Trailer LightThe Wesbar Submersible Trailer Light # 403076 uses 18 gauge wires so you'll need # DW05743-10 for heat shrink butt connectors. If you'd rather not use the heat shrinking type we have # 05730-5 as well. Heat shrink butt connectors are much better at keeping out moisture.
view full answer... - How to Wire in Dual 4-pole Vehicle-Side Trailer Connectors on RVThere are several ways to have dual 4-pole flat vehicle wiring on your RV, depending on how the RV wiring is set up. If the RV uses a round U.S. Car connector at the back of its 7-way you could use two of part # 118384 in a daisy-chain set up. This would provide two 4-poles and keep your 7-way active. This is a plug-and-play option. If you don't mind a bit of cutting and splicing you could tap into the wiring that leads to the RV 7-way and splice in two of an item like # HM48030 using...
view full answer... - Wire Gauge Of Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights TLL16RKThe wire gauge used in the LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights - Submersible part # TLL16RK is 20 gauge according to Optronics. This may seem light but the lights are LED and draw very little power. You can use Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 Gauge - Nylon Insulation part # DW05743-10 to install the lights if you need them.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wires Are Used With The Wiring Harness In the Standard Trailer Light Kit TL29BK? The wiring on the 25' harness uses 20 gauge wiring for the tail light wires in the Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK. I recommend using the Heat Shrink But Connectors # DW05743-10 where you will need to splice together any wiring for a dry, corrosion resistant connection.
view full answer... - Best Connector for Installing the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded WireThe best connector type to use with the 40' 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire # SWC77FR are the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10. You'll insert the ends of the wires into the butt connector, crimp it down, and then use a heat gun or a small flame to shrink the casing around the wires. This gives you a solid connection that is safe from being exposed to the elements.
view full answer... - Replacement Tail Lights for an EZ Loader Boat TrailerI do not know exactly what lights your boat trailer came with nor would we have an exact OEM replacement but we do have the Miro-Flex LED Trailer Tail Lights part # TLL28RK which are a submersible LED tail light that should work well for you. The lights mount via two bolts placed 2" apart on center. The circuit boards are sealed, which means that water will not damage the diodes or circuit boards. The lights do not come with sealed wiring connectors but you can add them using part # DW05743-10....

- Wiring Installation Kit To Properly Disconnect and Reconnect WiringThe best way to keep Over 80" LED Trailer Light Kit # TLL160RK waterproof is to use heat shrink butt connectors. Since this assembly uses 20 gauge wire you will need # DW05743-10 to make the best connection. The butt connectors will help insulate the wire connection to keep the connection as dry as possible.
view full answer... - Wiring Scheme for Drive DVD playerI cannot speak for the trailer wiring as trailer manufacturers do not always follow the same wire color coding scheme. However for the Drive 324-000031 radio, picture number 19 on the product page shows the wire color scheme for the radio. It shows Yellow to always-on 12 volt at the battery, and Black to ground. You will also want to make sure you are making excellent connections with your wires. I would recommend the Performance Tools # PTW30764 crimping pliers and the Deka # DW05743-10...
view full answer... - Best Replacement For Jensen MP5000 RV RadioWe do have a good replacement that will be about the same size as your Jensen MP5000 but there are no plug and play replacement options. That being said, the Jensen # JWM60A radio is going to be the best replacement you can find for your current radio. Just match up the functions of the wires using these heat shrink connectors # DW05743-10 if your current plug will not hook into the # JWM60A radio.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wiring Is Used On Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer MAL53FR?I reached out to my contact at Malone and the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer - 58" Crossbars - 400 lbs # MAL53FR uses 18 gauge wiring. I recommend picking up the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10 to use for connection the wiring functions on the trailer as this will give you a weather tight connection compared to the included quick splices. I included videos of each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Installation Location at the Back of a 2008 Nissan PathfinderSome Nissan vehicles came with that 8-pin connector rather than a 6-pin like most others. There isn't a plug-in harness or adapter for Nissan vehicles with the 8-pin connector, such as your 2008 Pathfinder, but there is an option for you. First, and what I recommend, is to use the harness you have, # 118267, but cut off the vehicle and harness side connectors and hardwire them together based on function. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter such as # PT89ZR to test the wires...

- Recommended 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness for Boat TrailerBased on color, I can't tell if you have functions that should be tied together or not. I've attached an article on trailer wiring to assist as you test functions. I recommend using a 12V battery to test the function of each wire on your trailer. When that function lights up, you will know what that wire function is and which pin on your vehicle side wiring that it should connect to. I recommend using the 4-way Wishbone Trailer wiring harness # A40W42B along with the Deka Heat Shrink...
view full answer... - Wire Connector Recommendation for 20 Gauge Wire on TrailerFor a 20 gauge wire I would not recommend the use of a quick splice connector. The core of the wire would be too thin for it to work well. You would most likely end up cutting the core of the wire when tightening it. I would recommend soldering as the best solution and then beyond that butt connectors like the part # DW05743-10 would be the next best solution.

Your Drive RV Stereo 324-000148 has a wiring schematic printed on the top of the unit. I have included a photo of it here. However, I you would remove the AWM910 harness after marking the coach wiring, then connect those wires to the new harness made to fit the new Drive Stereo unit. I would just simply twist and tape the connections until you get everything tested correct. After that I would remake my connections with crimped on...

- Can 10" Leads on 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights Be LongerAll of the 3-prong pigtails like the 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights # A45PB come with 10" leads so if you need to extend the wiring length you'll need some 18 gauge wire found as part # SWC97FR (sold by the foot) and then heat shrink butt connectors like the kit # DW05743-10 that comes in a pack of 10. This will give you the ability to extend the leads out as long as you need! Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
