• Brake Controller Installed in 2021 Chevy Silverado Z71 Trail Boss Not Powering Up
  Assuming that you've found the correct connector for the # 3064-P brake control harness which is located under the dash to the left of the steering column, I'd wager than you have a fuse missing in the power distribution box in the engine compartment on the passenger side. Check fuse location # 84, and make sure that there's a fuse installed there. If the fuse is missing or blown, you can obtain a replacement from your local auto parts store.

• Fuse Location for 12-Volt Accessory Feed to 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2005 Chevy Silverado
  On GM vehicles of that vintage, the 12-V pin should be hot regardless of whether the ignition is on or not. If it isn't showing voltage even with the ignition on, you're almost certainly on the right track thinking it's a blown or possibly missing fuse. The 12-v feed circuit to the trailer connector is protected by a 40A fuse located in the power distribution box mounted to the inside of the driver's side fender in the engine compartment. Remove the lid and the cover to the box, which...

• Troubleshooting Brake Controller Errors When Running Lights Or Hazard Lights Are Turned On
  Hey Michael, The first thing I'd check is the ground both on the truck's 7-way because a weak ground causes all kinds of goofy issues. I'd just splice into the back of the factory 7-way and run a 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 to the vehicle frame with a ring terminal # 44-5356A and self-tapping screw. I'd also check that there's not bare or damaged wires touching each other behind the 7-way. From there I'd start to question that the brake controller is properly functioning. You've already...

• Switching From A Curt Bluetooth Controller To A Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty In A 2024 Subaru Crosstrek
  Hi Elizabeth! I'll be honest, I don't particularly like the Curt Bluetooth controllers either. The Redarc controllers on the other hand, I very much like and the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness # RED52VR is a fantastic one to go with. As to connecting it, that will depend on how the 7-way was wired into your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. Odds are you will need the parts I have listed below as only the wire from the battery to the 7-way was connected. If you...

• Recommended Brake Controller For A 2019 Lincoln Nautilus
  Hey Gary, For your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness # RED52VR. This brake controller has a super small control knob that you can hide in the dash instead of a brick to hit your knee on. You'll want to check the trim panel below the steering column for a spot big enough for the control knob (1-7/8" long x 9/16" wide x 3/4" tall) to sit plus an extra inch or so in depth for the cable. You'll probably have to grind...

• Making a Complete Ground on a Simple Utility Trailer
  The white ground wire just needs to be attached to the frame or tongue of the trailer so that the entire trailer frame and structure becomes an electrical ground. Make sure the ground has direct contact to the metal. Paint can sometimes act as an insulator preventing a good ground connection. Use a ring terminal, like part # 44-5356A, and attach it to the frame with a metal screw. It sounds like the lights on the trailer are grounded to the trailer body, so by attaching the short white...

• Options to Power Lights in Trailer Without Being Connected to 7-Way on Truck
  When it comes to running the lights in your trailer without having to hook to the 7-way on your truck, I recommend using some 10 gauge wire to add a car battery to your trailer for power. You'll just need a few supplies in addition to a battery; 10 gauge wire, # 10-2-1 (sold by the foot), 2 ring terminals like # 44-5356A, and a couple quick splice connectors, # SWC501915-1. Just find a spot on the trailer for a battery, splice into the 12 volt circuit on your 7-way with one of the wires...

• Adding an Auxiliary Power Circuit to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
  First, use a circuit tester like # 40376 if needed, to test the 7-Way trailer connector. The 12-volt circuit will be in the 1 oclock position. If the trailer side connector pin that corresponds with the 12-volt circuit is connected to the battery on the trailer, then you will not have to change or add anything. If it is not, you can either connect the battery to that circuit or use the auxiliary pin in the center. Again, use the circuit tester to test the center pin. It may be connected...

• Getting Power to 12-Volt Accessory Pin on 7-Way Trailer Connector
  To get power to the pin in the 1:00 position of the # PK12703 7-way trailer connector, you'd run a length of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot from the terminal for the 1:00 pin on the 7-way to the positive battery terminal, via a # 9510 40 amp circuit breaker. You'd need two # DW05741-1 ring terminals to connect to the breaker and a # 44-5356A ring terminal to connect at the battery.

• Can You Extend the Ground Wire When Installing Trailer Wiring?
  The Curt Trailer Connector # C57672 should be grounded to any paint and debris free surface, preferably the vehicle frame; since the hitch is painted, it's not going to provide the best ground source for your 7 way connection. You can extend the ground and run it to a more convenient spot on the vehicle and you'll want to use a ring terminal like # 44-5356A (similar to the one found on the end of the ground wire of the C57672). If you need additional wiring, you can use # 10-1-1 which is...

• Wiring Curt C56322 and 37185 4-Pole/ 7-Way Adapter to Vehicle Battery for Wireless Brake Controller
  In order to power both the taillight converter and the 12-volt feed on the 7-way, you'll want to run two circuits from the rear of the vehicle to the positive battery terminal. The # C56322 converter includes the necessary wire, fuse holder, fuse and hardware to make the connection at the battery. To power up the 12-volt feed on the # 37185 adapter that feeds the wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180, you'll need a length of # 12-1-1 wire long enough to attach to the black...

• How to Rewire Trailer for 6 Way Connection with Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights
  First you will want a new 6-way like the Hopkins 6-Way Molded Connector, # H20036. Installing the 6-way plug will be made easier by using a junction box such as # 38656. This box mounts to the trailer frame and serves as a connection point between the trailer's original wiring and the new 6-way. Also you will want some Deka jacketed 2 wire, 10 gauge, brake wire # 10-2-1 to run the brake output circuit from the junction box to the brake assemblies as well as some Deka 16-gauge bonded 4-wire...

• Troubleshooting No Power on a 12v Power Pin on a 7-way Harness on a 2020 Ford F-350
  The first thing you need to do is check the appropriate fuses on your vehicle for a blown fuse on your 2020 Ford F-350 super duty. If everything looks good with the fuses, I recommend checking for shorts or fraying in the 12v wiring anywhere from the plug to where the harness connects to the front of the vehicle. This can be done at different points of the wiring with a circuit tester # PTW2993. It is also important to check and make sure the ground wires on your harness are mounted to...

• Parts Needed to Wire Lippert Electric Jack to Trailer Battery
  You are correct, the red power wire coming out of the Lippert jack # LC285318 will need to be connected to the positive terminal on your trailer battery to provide a 12V power source. The jack is grounded through its mounting hardware. All you need is a ring terminal, like # 44-5356A, which accepts 12-10 gauge wire, and has a 5/16" diameter Ring ID to connect to your battery post. Once the red wire is inserted, use a wire crimper to affix the connector to the end of the wire. I've attached...

• Options for Adding Electric Drum Brakes to Motorcycle Trailer
  We can help you with the project of adding electric drum brakes to your motorcycle trailer. You may care to have a look at the linked article which covers the entire process and the items needed. Generally a trailer with GVWR of 1200-lbs will not require brakes in most states but you can check your local state regulations to be sure. I suggest you consider a whole new axle kit that includes brakes. This will save you a lot of time and labor costs too since the brake flange is already installed....

• How to Activate 12-Volt Pin on 7-Way Trailer Connector Using 4-Pole to 7-Way Adapter
  If you currently have a 4 pole to 7-way adapter like # 37185, in order to get output on the 12-v pin in the 1:00 position, the black wire on the adapter needs to be ran to the positive battery terminal. You'll need a length of 10 gauge wire which we sell by the foot as part # 10-1-1 long enough to run under the vehicle from the adapter to the battery. You'll want to install a 40 amp breaker like # 9510 inline on that circuit, mounting it as close as possible to the battery. You'll also...

• Re-Wiring Old 4-Wire Boat Trailer Plug With a New 7-Way Trailer Plug
  Considering that the 4-wire round connector on your Dad's old boat trailer may be nearing the end of its life (due to use and corrosion) you will be better off replacing the 4-way round connector with a 7-way plug such as # H20046 from Hopkins. Installing a new trailer-side male plug will also avoid the complication and cost of having to use an adapter and it will make the trailer much more user-friendly to the majority of tow vehicles likely to pull it in the future. Installing the 7-way...

• Troubleshooting 7-Way Connector of 2006 Toyota Sequoia With No 12-Volt Feed at 7-Way
  If your 7-way on your Sequoia was installed at the factory, the 12-volt circuit should be active. Check the fuse box under the hood for a blown or missing fuse. If there's no blown fuse, you trace the 12-volt circuit from the rear of the vehicle looking for a loose connection, but abandoning the original and installing your own circuit as described below might be the simplest course of action. If the 7-way was installed aftermarket, check the terminal for the 12-volt pin at the rear of...

• Ring Terminal Recommendation for Circuit Breaker 9506P
  Sounds like you are looking for ring terminals to use with the circuit breaker part # 9506P. For that you would want the Ring Terminal # 44-5356A which has a 5/16 inner diameter and is designed for use with 10-12 gauge wires. The side of the breaker that has the copper looking post will be the side that runs to the battery and the other side will run to the accessory you will be powering.

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK
  Your 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK does not have a plug-in brake controller port under the dash so wiring in a controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 will require hardwiring. We offer a complete installation kit # ETBC7 that includes all the parts needed, including a 7-way. Although you have a 7-way socket now, its not a bad idea to have a spare on hand. The kit includes the duplex wiring to bring brake and 12V power signals to your trailer connector, and circuit breakers and connectors to install...

• Recommended Components To Flat Tow 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk W/ 2019 Forest River Forester
  I would be happy to go over everything you need to flat tow your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with your 2019 Forest River Forester. Unfortunately the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1143 you mentioned is not compatible with your Blue Ox Alexxa Tow Bar BX7435 due to it requiring base plates with a different bracket spacing, so you will need a new tow bar as there is not a base plate kit available that will work with your tow bar.. I still recommend going with the # BX1143 but instead recommend...

• No Power on 12-Volt Pin at Trailer Connector on 2011 Chevy Silverado
  It sounds like you're not getting power at the pin in the 1:00 position in the trailer connector. If you've installed new fuses and attached the wires at the distribution box under the hood, at this point I'd just abandon that feed and run the circuit directly to the positive battery terminal using a length of # 10-1-1 wire, a # 9510 circuit breaker and 2 # 44-5310A small ring terminals and one # 44-5356A large ring terminal. At the rear of the vehicle, find the wire feeding the pin in...
