• Making a 6-Way Square Adapter for an Artic Fox Camper
  
• We do have 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit (Car and Trailer Ends) # 37995 that you can use for your Arctic Fox camper. This is both the male and female ends. But the wires on them are 18 gauge. You could replace the ground and power wires with 10 gauge wire if you wanted to though it make take a little persuasion to get the 10 gauge wire to mate up to the pins in the connectors. We sell 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 by the foot or you can get # 10-2-1, also sold by the foot, which is...

• Parts Needed to Connect Vehicle with 4-Pole to Trailer with 6-Way and Separate Brake Lights
  
• Since your vehicle's 4-pole wiring harness uses stop and turn signals that are combined on one wire, the green and yellow wires, you will use Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 which takes in those combined signals and separates them out onto individual wires at its output side. Your Brown running light wire will simple bypass the converter and go directly to the trailer connector. Rather than use adapters to connect the tow vehicle and trailer I suggest you wire in a matching...

• Solution for Trailer with 6-Way Square Connector to Be Towed by Truck with 7-Way
  
• The only solution we are going to be able to provide for you is to build an adapter like you mentioned or do what most people do and replace the connector you have on your trailer with a standard 7-way so that it will work with your truck and most other tow vehicles out there. The square 6-way you have is pretty uncommon and typically comes with an adapter from the trailer manufacturer to attach to a 7-way, but in your case I would just remove it and install a # H20046 in its place so that...

• Running Lights Do Not Work on Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Pulled with a 2008 Saturn Vue
  
• The first step I would take is to check the vehicle side and trailer side connectors for any corrosion or dirt build up that could cause a bad connection and clean it out. If the connectors look clean, then you should use a circuit tester, # 40376, to check the trailer connector on the back of your 2008 Saturn Vue. Make sure you are getting a signal at each pin when that function is activated. I have attached a video of my co-worker testing a 4-flat trailer connector for you to reference....

• Troubleshooting Flashing Trailer Lights After Replacing 6-way with 4-Way
  
• It sounds like you wired up your new 4-way wrong. What you will want to do is use a 12-volt battery and jumper wire to test all of the wires of your trailer so you can determine their function and then wire up the trailer to your new 4-way according. The white wire of your 4-way will be the ground, brown will be running lights, the yellow will be left turn/brake, and the green right turn/brake.

• How to Make a 7-Way to 6-Way Square Jayco Trailer Connector Adapter
  
• There is no adapter available that will go from a 7-Way vehicle side connector to a 6-Way square Jayco connector. You will need to make one using the follow parts: 7-Way trailer connector # H20042 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit, # 37995 Start by identifying the wire functions of the trailer side connector so that it will be easier to wire in the 7-Way later. Connect the 7-Way wires on H20042 to the vehicle side connector in # 37995 based on function. On the H20042: the...

• How to Make 6-Way Square to 7-Way Adapter

• Wiring Adapter for 6-Way Round Connector to 6-Way Square Jayco Trailer Connector
  
• The only 6-Way square to 6-Way round wiring adapter that we offer is the Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47415. However, this adapter only measures 10 inches long overall. These square connectors are popular on older Jayco trailers, but are not common in the industry so there are very few adapters made for this style connector. For an adapter that measures 24 inches, you will want to use a 6-Way Square Connector # 37995 wired to a 6-Way Round Connector with Cable # 50-61-104....

• 7-Way Trailer Connector for a Truck that has a 4-Way Flat Connector
  
• Are you sure it is a 6-Way and not a 7-Way blade style such as # 37185? The center counts as a pin. I have not heard of a 6-Way blade style connector, not to say that it doesn't exist but I haven't seen one myself. There might also be a way to add a 7-Way to the truck without having to cut or splice anything. If you can tell me the year, make, and model of the truck I can determine if there is a 7-Way that will work other than a hardwire option.

• Does Hidden Hitch 4-Way Flat to 6-Way Square Wiring Adapter # 30104 Work Only on Jayco Trailers
  
• The Hidden Hitch 4-Way Flat to 6-Way Square Wiring Adapter, part # 30104, is intended specifically for Jayco trailers that use the 6-way square type connector. The adapter is wired to transfer tow vehicle lighting signals to the appropriate pins on the 6-way square connector to operate Jayco camper lights. For connecting your vintage Bethany camper to your tow vehicle with 4-pole flat connector you can fabricate an adapter harness from two parts. You will need to order parts # 37995...

• 50mm Ball and Getting Lights to Work on Altera Strada DL3 Bike Rack on 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
  
• We do have 50mm hitch ball # EH53C-C so all you will need now is a ball mount that fits the 2 inch receiver on your 2016 Chrysler Town & Country. Since the trailer hitches are close to the ground on vans I recommend a ball mount with some rise in it such as Draw-Tite ball mount # 40346. The electrical is a little more complicated but the good news is that you don't have to have lights on a bike rack in the US. But if you want them to function then an adapter will need to be made since...

• At Least 3 Foot Long 6-Round to 6-Square Trailer Adapter
  
• I have an option for you but we don't carry a longer version of the Hopkins 6-round to 6-square adapter, part # HM47415. Instead you can make your own. Use Hopkins part # 37995 which has both sides of the 6-square and wire the end you need to the Bargman 6-round # 50-61-104. The Bargman is 4 feet long and the Hopkins is just under 12 inches so this will be plenty long enough for you.

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Adapter To Connect 2002 Jayco Popup To 2009 Acura MDX
  
• Using adapters as you described can introduce problems if the everything is not perfectly matched and can cause problems like you are experiencing. My first recommendation is to use a circuit tester like part # 40376 and test the 4-way adapter on your Acura. Have someone sit in the front of the vehicle and run through the functions. If everything checks out okay you can go from there. You can then use a 6-way square adapter like part # 37995. I have attached a photo of the vehicle side...

• Adaption a 7-Way Blade Style Connector to a 6-Way Square Connector on a Trailer
  
• Using multiple adapters just increases the chance that something could go wrong. The best solution is to use an adapter to go from a 7-Way blade style to the 6-Pole square. To do that though an adapter would have to be fabricated. All you will need is a trailer side 7-Way, # H20042, and a vehicle side 6-Way square. For the 6-Way square you would need # 37995 but only use the vehicle end to wire to the wires on the 7-Way, # H20042. On the 7-Way the wire functions are: White = ground Red...

• We can get you set up to tow your Jayco trailer with the 6-Way connector. First, on your 2002 Dodge Durango, you will need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118334. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you to view. The 6-Way square plug is a rarity.

• Replacing 6-Way Square Connector on Jayco Trailer and Using Adapter # 30104
  
• The Jayco 6-Way square connector is unique to those trailers and # 37995 wouldn't be a good fit for adapter # 30104. But, it you were to order # 37995 any way you could use it by replacing the 6-Way end on # 30104 with the vehicle side 6-Way that comes with # 37995.

• Where To Connect 2 Extra Wires From 6-Way Connector On Motorcycle Trailer To 4 Wires On Motorcycle
  
• I looked up the Escapade motorcycle trailer and it showed the six wire colors as being: White - Ground Brown - Taillights Yellow - Left Turn Green - Right Turn Red - Brake Circuit Black - Accessory Terminal on Bike You will want to use a circuit tester like part # 40376, and test the function of the four wires on your motorcycle. They will most likely be ground, taillights, left turn/brake, and right turn/brake. You will want to wire the black wire on the trailer to the accessory...

• Making a 6-Way Square to 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Adapter for a Motorcycle and Trailer
  
• Your question is perfectly clear, and it is one that has come up before. Putting a 4-Way flat on the trailer is easy enough. You can use a trailer side 4-Way and splice it to the existing trailer wiring by function. The adapter for the 6-Way square to 4-Way flat is going to require a little more work. I recommend starting with the 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit, # 37995. You will need the end that plugs into the vehicle side to make an adapter. You can then use Quick...

• 6 way square to 4 way flat connection not working on 1997 Dutchman Pop-UP Tent Trailer
  
• As long as your vehicle is wired properly, Green right turn and stop, Yellow left turn and stop, Brown running lights and White ground, then you will have to figure out how the trailer is wired. If the adapter you are talking about was purchased and not hard wired then it could be the 4-way flat to 6-way square adapter for a Jayco RV, item # 30104, and those adapters are wired differently than most other trailers with 6-way connectors and this could be why your lights are not functioning...

• Parts Needed to Convert Motorcycle Trailers from Jayco Square to 5-Pole Flat Wiring Connectors
  
• It sounds like your motorcycle trailers use Jayco-style wiring connectors, such as # 37995. We do actually have a 4-pole to 6-square wiring adapter # 30104 but this only includes the 4 circuits from the 4-pole. There is no 5-pole flat to 6-square adapter. The best way to make your trailer and tow vehicle wiring compatible is to convert the trailers to 5-pole flat wiring. The linked page displays various trailer-side 5-pole flat connectors, like # W002290. You can use butt connectors...

• Recommended Replacement Wiring for 1996 Dutchman Duck with Obsolete Wiring Harness

If the contacts on your trailer connector are like those on the Hopkins 6-Pole Square Connector Kit # 37995 then you can use 1/2 of this kit to replace your trailer's damaged connector and also Hidden Hitch adapter # 30104 to join it to your 4-pole-equipped vehicle. If this is not your connector then your best bet is to re-wire the trailer with a new 4-pole connector to match what is on your vehicle. You can use a junction box like # 38656 to join the existing...

• Installing a Brake Controller on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe with Factory Tow Package
  
• To install the Tekonsha brake controller on your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, you will first need a 4-Way trailer connector if you do not already have one. The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118258, that you have referenced will fit your Santa Fe if the Hyundai Santa Fe came with Factory Tow Package. If it did not, then use harness # 118415.

• Adding a 4-Way Trailer Connector to the Back of a Honda Goldwing
  
• The trailer connector on your Honda Goldwing is set up for a trailer with separate circuits meaning brake lights and turn signals are on different circuits. The trailer that you have has combined circuits; the brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit. So all you will need is a separate to combined converter with a 4-Way flat connector such as # 119178KIT. On it, the white wire is ground, red connects to a brake light wire, brown connects to a tail light wire, yellow connects...

• Connecting a Coachman Pop-Up Trialer with 6-Way Square Connector to a Vehicle with a 7-Way RV
  
• To use your trailer with a vehicle that has a 7-Way connector installed on it you would be best suited to just use the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End, item # PK12706, and hard wire it directly to the wires on the trailer. You will then have the functionality needed to provide power to the trailer brakes and have power to maintain a battery on the trailer if it is so equipped. Another advantage is that you will have no need for an adapter between...

• Wiring 4-Way Connector on Ford Truck to 6-Way Connector on Camper Trailer

The blue wire typically provides power to the brakes, and the red wire is for the 12 Volt accessory circuit. You have several different options, depending on the trailer and the connector that is currently on it. If you have a Jayco trailer, we offer a 4 Way Flat to 6 Way Square Adapter, part # 30104.

• How to Make a 6-Way Square to 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Adapter
  
• The 6-Way square trailer connector is not used by a lot of trailer manufacturers. A lot of Jayco trailers may have them but mostly you come across the 4-Way flat, like what you have on your trailer, and the 7-Way blade for RV applications. What I recommend is to convert the 6-Pole on the Monaco to a 4-Way. You can do this very easily by removing the 6-Way plug, and then testing the wires for function using a circuit tester like # 3808 if needed before installing them in a new 4-Way,...

• Trailer Hitch Wiring Recommendation for a 1998 Jayco Pop-Up Trailer
  
• Yes, you could use the 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector Kit # 37995 on your 1998 Jayco Pop-Up trailer. If you have a 4-way on your tow vehicle you may also be interested in purchasing a Adapter 4 Way Flat to 6 Way Square for Jayco # 30104. With this product you could just plug this into your tow vehicle and then into your trailer and you would be ready to go. By doing this you will lose 2 functions of the trailer wiring, most likely one of them being a 12-volt power source.
