• Recommended Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 14 Gauge Wire
  I do have an option for you but none of our trailer wiring harnesses we offer come with that heavy duty of a wire. The only 4-way wishbone kit we offer 40' long is the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness part # A40W42B which has 20 gauge wire. I am not sure why you would need that heavy duty of a wire for tail lights but you can make your own harness using the Jacketed 6-Wire part # DW04906-1 (per foot) and the Quick Fix 4 Pole Flat Trailer End part # HMC20031. The extra wire in the above...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring For Double Towing Camper and Motorcycle Trailer Behind 2016 Tundra
  It sounds like you want to tow 2 trailers and need the wiring for both. It is completely possible to do that as long as your truck can handle the total weight of the two loaded trailers. For the wiring, there are a couple of different options. You can run an extremely long harness like you mentioned that will be a simple customized length or you can tap into your trailer wires to create a harness at the back of your camping trailer. My recommendation is to do the latter. To...

• Recommended 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness for Boat Trailer
  Based 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...

• 40' Wishbone Trailer Wiring With A Ground Wire Running Down Both Sides
  We do not offer wishbone wiring that has a ground wire going down both sides. You really don't need it because the ground wire is for the plug itself not the lights and you want the ground close to the plug. I recommend using the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness Item # A40W42B.

  To wire the 4 clearance lights # MCL0040ABB, license plate light # M298C, and tail lights # STL190RB to your 12' long 75" wide vintage trailer, I recommend starting the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness with 42" Ground Wire # A40W42B which is 40' long meaning you will have enough extra wire to connect all of the lights you are planning on adding.

• 4-Pole Wishbone Harness for Running Light Connection
  Connecting the brown running light wire in standard 4-pole wiring to both tail lights will require a jumper wire from one side of the trailer to the other, or you can install what's called a wishbone harness that has dual brown running light wires, one for each side of the trailer. We have several of these trailer-side 4-pole wishbones, such as 40-foot # A40W42B, 35-foot # A35W42B, 25-foot # A10-4225VP and 20-foot # A20WB. I do recommend using a wishbone harness instead of a spliced...

• Trailer Wiring Connector for Triton 8x10 Aluminum Snowmobile Trailer
  For your wiring, you will need to test your wire functions to know which one connects where. I recommend using a 12v battery and simply connecting the negative terminal to the trailer frame and then connecting the power to each wire at the connector individually to determine function. It is not uncommon to have two wires running to one function location for each side of the trailer so there aren't any jumper wires across the frame needed from side to side. I've attached an article...

• Troubleshooting Wiring Issue On Harbor Freight Trailer
  It does sound like you have done the ground wiring well. I recommend putting a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on multiple spots as you test wiring from the truck to the trailer lights. Starting at the truck with the trailer disconnected, test each function of your 4-way. If all checks out, add the extension and check each function. If that checks out, then test right behind the trailer wiring connection to that extension. If everything works at this point, you have 100 isolated the...

• What Does Some Trailer Wiring Have 2 Brown Tail Light Wires
  Common 4-pole trailer wiring like # HM38138 uses one wire, the brown one, for the running lights on both sides of the trailer. Sometimes what is called a 'wishbone' harness is installed on the trailer and this simply uses two separate running light wires - brown with yellow for left and brown with green for right - to make it easier to connect to the trailer lights since that way no jumper wire will be needed to cross from one side to the other. Some examples of wishbone style 4-pole...

• 4-Way Extension Recommendation for Rear of Ford F-250 For Towing Second Trailer
  The Curt T-Connector part # C55774 that you referenced would be the first component you'd want. This will give you a 7-way and 4-way active at the rear of your truck. This will allow you to run a 4-way extension from the truck to the second trailer to activate the turn signals. For an extension you could use the part # A40W42B which is a 40 foot section of 4-way wiring that includes a male 4-way and then to the other end you could attach the part # HM48030 and you'd be set.

• Replacement 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness for 1959 Hawthorne Trailer.
  If your current wiring is still working a Test Light # PTW2993 can be used to help determine what color wire controls what on your current wiring at the taillights and any marker lights along the way. I have also linked an article on 4-way wiring below for you to reference as well. Otherwise you can use a 12 volt battery grounded to your trailer chassis to test the individual wiring by providing battery positive to each wire to determine what each wire powers. I recommend replacing...

• Converter To Provide Separate Brake And Turn Signals Functions On Trailer From A Standard 4 Pole
  On standard trailer wiring the right and left wires run as a combined signal. So the brake and turn signal for one side will be combined and the bulb itself acts as a brake and turn signal depending on the signal current. Since you are wanting to use separate brake and turn signals from a standard combined wired 4 pole plug you are going to need the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter Item # 118158 as well as the 4-Way Wishbone Trailer Wiring Harness with 42" Ground Wire - 40' Long...
