• Troubleshooting Roof Vent Fan Wiring On a 1997 Shadow Cruiser Slide In Camper
  You may be able to find the short in your wiring, as I was unable to find a wiring schematic available for your 1997 Shadow Cruiser. This is something that is unfortunately normal with these older campers as the records are often when manufactures are changed. I always start by checking the connections at the roof level for the fan. As this is the area where water might get to the connectors the easiest it makes a good place to start your search. You want to check for any exposed wires...

• How To Wire A 4-Way On a Trailer With 5 Wires
  I would love to help but the only way for certain to be sure you are connecting the correct wires together is to test for function. In order to do this for the trailer you will need to apply 12 volt power to each wire to see which circuit this illuminates. This is the only true way to determine the correct functions as trailer manufactures can use different color wires sometimes and the same can be said for the last person to wire the trailer. Please note when attaching two wires you really...

• Should Butt Connectors On a Boat Trailer be Replaced with Heat Shrink and Solder
  I assume you are referring to butt connectors and if that is the case then these can very well be the cause of your issue as they can trap corrosion over time and cause problems. If you test for power on the wire going into the connector and then coming out, that should then let you know if power is passing through the butt connector. If it is not then I prefer to solder and heat shrink wires together as this creates the best bond but we also have heat shrink butt connectors like part #...

• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche
  In order to install a Hopkins Reliance Brake Controller on your 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche you will need to first look under the dash next to the emergency brake pedal for a set of four blunt cut wires. They should be taped together and could also have some wire loom on them so you will want to look closely. These wires are for the brake controller and you will need to hardwire them using butt connectors like part # DW05744-5. The dark blue wire on the vehicle is for the brake output and...

• Will Diamond LED Tail Lights be Visible at Slight Angle
  Thanks for the photo, and the slight angle will not adversely affect the visibility of the Diamond tail lights you asked about: - LED Trailer Tail Light w/ Reflector - Stop, Tail, Turn - Weatherproof - 80 Diodes - Red Lens # DG52720PB These LEDs are not directional, they do light up directly, and are quite bright so they'll be very noticeable. It is definitely a good idea to replace your incandescent lights with LEDs as they last much, much longer and have little power draw.

• Troubleshooting Running Lights that are Blinking When Turned On
  Whenever we see lighting issues it usually stems from a bad ground or a short somewhere. This can be the result of a bad 7-Way connector or wiring. Since you have exposed wires where you have done your splicing I highly recommend using some heat shrink butt connectors to get your wiring all sealed up properly. You can use part # DW05745-5 for the bigger 12-10 gauge wires and part # DW05744-5 for the smaller 16-14 gauge wires. These are heat shrink connectors which will seal around the...

• Can Butt Connectors Be Used to Repair a Damaged 7-Way Trailer Connector
  You will be fine to use some butt connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05744-5 for 16 to 14 gauge, # DW05745-5 for 12 to 10 gauge, or # DW05743-5 for 22 to 18 gauge to repair your 7-way. Just remember that whenever you do any electrical work on your vehicle, you'll want to disconnect the battery to be safe. Whenever you're done working, just reconnect your battery and you'll be all set.

• Recommended Wiring Connectors for 14 to 16 Gauge Wires to Protect From Weather
  I have a solution for you, but the # 05731-5 are not heat shrink style butt connectors, so heating them isn't going to provide any protection. Instead I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Blue - Qty 5 # DW05744-5, which can be heated up to provide some insulation from the elements. This would be the best solution it sounds like and would be my recommendation.

• Trailer Wiring Harness Installation on 2015 Acura MDX
  I'm sorry that happened. According to Tekonsha, they haven't changed the plug used on their 4 pole trailer connectors in many years, so I suppose it's possible that either the drain hole diameter might not be consistent across the vehicle line or there might be another larger opening in the floor pan. What I'd do in your situation is use a rotary tool like a Dremel to notch one edge of the hole just enough so you can slip the trailer connector through. Reinstall the plug using silicone...

• Replacement 4-way Connector For 2018 Shorelandr Boat Trailer With Two Brown and White Wires
  I am happy to help! To replace the 4-way connector on your 2018 Shoreland'r Boat trailer I recommend the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Trailer End - 18" Long # 002402. The reason your harness has 2 brown wires is one runs down each side of the trailer, instead of having to run a jumper wire between the two sides. It is a little odd that it has two grounds (white wire) but you can connect them together and then connect them to the white wire on the...

• Is a Breakaway Kit Required on an Old Trailer
  In order to determine if a breakaway system is required on your trailer you will need to contact your local DMV. This will vary from state to state. However, it is a good ideal to add a breakaway system regardless of your state's regulations as they will help to protect others on the road and your trailer in the event of an accident. Breakaway systems are relatively inexpensive and can easily be installed with minimal effort. I recommend the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway...

• Are the Blunt Cut Brake Controller Wires Under the Dash of a 07-13 GM Truck Circuit Protected
  It sounds like you are trying to install a brake controller on your 2010 GMC Sierra 1500. If this is the case then the truck would have came from the factory with blunt cut wires under the dash that already have the functions for a brake controller. You will need to splice the wires from the brake controller into the blunt cut wires under the dash with part # DW05744-5. I have attached a photo that shows what the functions are for the wires on the brake controller and vehicle. All of the...

• License Plate Light Compatibility with Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness for 2018 Jeep Cherokee
  A relocated license plate bracket light will work with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118605 you reference. You will simply splice into the brown running light wire after the converter box to get that running light signal. You most likely will need to ground the light to the bracket if it is metal or to the frame of your vehicle. I recommend using heat shrink butt connector like # DW05744-5 for that connection and weather seal.

• Universal Wiring with Powered Module for 2008 Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway Van
  If you are looking for a wiring kit like the Hopkins # 31345 but that uses universal wiring as opposed to the connectors that tee in behind the tail lights on a 2008 Chevy Express Van then you will still need to use the Hopkins wiring kit as there are not any without the quick and speedy connection. However, you can just snip those connectors off and splice your connections This kit calls for splicing to your tail light wires whether it is with butt connectors or the included quick splices,...

• Recommended Converter From 3 Wire System To 2 Wire System For 2005 Isuzu

• Best Option Installing the Wesbar 403075 Tail Light on a Jet Ski Trailer
  If your current light assembly is not a sealed unit, then you should be able to just replace the bulb as long as both bulbs are interchangeable. If the light assembly is a sealed unit, I would not recommend trying to change out the bulb. Breaking the seal could cause a risk of water contamination in the light when submerged. In this case, you can install the new light using heat shrink butt connectors, like the Deka # DW05744-5 in 14-16 gauge wire. Just cut off the plug and use the butt...

• Replacing Trailer 5-Way Connector with 6 Wires
  While the wire colors that are used on your trailer are a bit different, it appears that you simply have what is called a wishbone wiring harness. You can replace the 5-Way with a harness like the Draw-Tite Wishbone Style 5-Way # 20017. This style basically means that there is a separate running lights circuit wire that runs down each side of the trailer (instead of a traditional setup that would just run a single wire back and then use a jumper wire at the rear to go from one tail light...

  We have exactly what you are looking for with the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 002402 which is an 18 inch long 4-way harness that has the running light circuit split off for both sides of the trailer like what you mentioned having. You'd run your brown/yellow and brown/green wires to each of the brown wires of this harness and then match the other colors by color and you'd be set. Only thing else you'll want is heat shrink butt connectors like the...

• Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Recommendation with 5 Wires
  To replace the 4-Way Flat connector on your utility trailer I recommend picking up the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness # 002402 and then making your connections using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5. This has the 5 wires coming off of the connector and it sounds like you'll be connecting them per color. Just for reference though, here are the different functions you should find on each of those wires: Green: Right turn/brake light Yellow: Left turn/brake light Brown: Tail/running...

• Wire Gauge Used for Low Profile RV Combination Tail Light # RVSTL61
  I went out to the warehouse and used our wire gauge measuring tool to measure the wiring on Low Profile RV Combination Tail Light # RVSTL61. It falls between 16 and 18 gauge wire so at the tightly wound ends it would measure a little smaller. So in other words 16 gauge. For heat shrink butt connectors for 16-14 gauge wire we have # DW05744-10 for a 10 pack and # DW05744-5 for a 5 pack.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Without Typical Color Wiring for Lights
  As you noted, the typically wiring colors for a 4-Way connector is white for ground, brown for tail/running, yellow for left stop/turn, and green for right stop/turn. The confusing part is that even though this is the typical way that the wiring is configured, not everybody uses the same color schemes. It sounds like either your F-150 or your trailer has different wiring colors than what we just talked about so you will simply need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to verify...

• Why Is There Five Wires for the Brake Controller on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500
  The wiring harness you have located on your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 is the correct one that will need to be used to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. There is just an extra wire present that will not be used. This extra wire is for a backup light illuminate feature that is already integrated into the Tekonsha Prodigy P3. The wiring connections you will need to make are as follows: Vehicle to Brake Controller Adapter: Red to Black Dark Blue to Blue Light...

• Replacing the Jensen Stero JCD3007 with a Jensen Stero JWM10A
  The Jensen RV Stero part # JWM10A that you referenced requires around a 11" wide x 3" tall cutout which is fairly standard for single din stereos so there should not be much issue here. In regards to wiring, you will need to remove the pigtail you have used to install the Jensen RV Stero JCD3007 and replace this with the one that comes with the above using butt connectors part # DW05744-10 and part # DW05744-5. I have attached the pin-out diagram of each pigtail for you which should make...

• Replacement For 7-Way Trailer Connector With Molded Cable
  While that brand is not familiar, if it is a 7-way trailer connector with a molded cable, you will indeed need to replace the connector by cutting the wires. While I know it is not the news you were looking for, it is what you'll need to do as the plugs themselves won't come off. So what you will need to do is to just replace it with another 7-way with a cable that you'll connect the wiring to: - 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20043 This connector uses 10, 12, and 14 gauge wires,...
