Good quality, has some kind of sealant in it. Water resistant, not sure about being waterproof



by:

Order came in fast and in good condition. I'm still waiting for assembly testing, but so far, so good!

I use these for repairing and installing new trailer wires. Waterproof sealant works great keeping moisture out of connection and preventing corrosion.

Nothing special. It works as expected.

It
does not however match the OEM style on my trailers where both of the lighting wires are "inside" the connector but only one is spliced to the lamp wire.



by:

Fast shipping and great product. Easy to install on my boat trailer. Really helps with making connections. Will test the longevity of this product over the next several years. But overall very pleased, and etrailer is a wonderful company.

Nice idea for waterproof connector, check your wire size/gage on the trailer side before ordering mine was too large to fit this connector.

  • How to Add a Third Brake Light to a Trailer
    To add a third brake light to a trailer is pretty simple, but does require an adapter to convert the signal. Because trailer tail light systems combine the stop lamp and turn signals for each side onto a single circuit, you will need to use a vehicle-to-vehicle tail light converter, part # 118158 to split the brake light circuit back out. The white wire on the input side of the converter would ground to the trailer frame, the green input wire would tap into the right turn circuit on...

  • Different Ways to Wire a Lighted Headache Rack
    I have two options for you to install a headache rack with lights such as the B&W Custom Headache Rack part # BWPUCP7500BA on your 2008 Ford F-250. However, both of them will require splicing as they do not make an in-line connector specifically for this application. If you wanted to make the headrack removable in regards to the lighting functions then you would need to install a 4-way like part # HMC20031 on the end of the wiring harness that goes to the headrack and then splice a 4-way...

  • Parts Needed To Connect Lights From A Removable Trailer Extension To A 5th Wheel
    Hi Rick, I am aware of the Swivelwheel extenders, though not the Blue Ox ones, so I do have an idea of what you are attempting to achieve. It sounds like what you are looking to do should pose no problems at all and shouldn't be too difficult either, especially if you are familiar with wiring. You will, of course, need some butt connectors, wiring, and both trailer and vehicle side 7 Way connectors. I have a list of everything you would need listed out below, but I included two different...

  • How to Power the Lights on a Bike Rack on the Rear of a Trailer
    Hey Richard! I've got a couple of options for you. The first is to swap out the factory 7-way connector on your 2022 F-150 with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w/ Bracket item # HM75MV. This will plug directly into your Ford's wiring harness. It has both a 4-way and 7-way connector. You would then need to make a long enough 4-way plug to reach your bike rack using the 30 ft. Wishbone 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness with 30" Ground Wire item # A30WB...

  • Is the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar Part # RA960134 DOT Approved
    I spoke to my contact at Rampage and they were able to inform me that the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar part # RA960134 is approved by the department of transportation (DOT) in all states. Therefore, you will not need to worry about getting pulled over because of the light bar that is. The light bar is very easy to install. All you need to do is plug the 4-way trailer connector on the light bar into the 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle or cut off the connector and splice...

  • Installing the Power Wire of a Backup Camera to the Reverse Light Power on 2006 Honda Odyssey
    I looked up your specific vehicle and the green wire will be the positive wire and the black the ground. So you will connect your red wire on your backup camera to the green wire using a Quick Splice Wire Connector - Tan - 14-18 AWG (Qty 1) # 564.

  • How To Wire the Reverse Light Wire for a Trailer on a 2017 Ford Expedition
    Yes, you can splice into the reverse light signal behind your tail light housing and then run this to the 7-way trailer connector. This is how the reverse light circuit will be obtained on any vehicle without tow package wiring for a 7-way. According to my research, the reverse light circuit on your Expedition is carried through the green/brown wire but I recommend you check this with a circuit tester. In order to splice into the reverse light wire, I recommend using part # SWC501746-1....

  • Availability of Waterproof Connector for Side Marker Light Wiring on Boat Trailer
    In order to splice into the wire and add yellow side marker lights like the # MCL13A2B I recommend using the Self-Stripping Connector with Waterproof Sealant # SWC501746-1. This is designed to make a quick connection without cutting or stripping, and uses a waterproof sealant to help prevent corrosion. It is designed for marine use. I would also recommend wrapping the connection in electrical tape for extra protection.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a Boat Trailer
    The Optronics 25 foot 4 Way Wire Harness # A25W2GWB will be a good option. This will generally have enough length to cover most trailers. I will also recommend adding in a few of the Spectro Self-Stripping Connector with Waterproof Sealant # SWC501746-1. These will make splicing into the # A25W2GWB significantly easier. Especially for your side marker lights.

  • Trailer Brakes Will Not Work and 2006 Chevy Silverado Lights Malfunction w/Curt Brake Controller
    It sounds like the red wire in the wiring harness # C51352 was not in the correct place. Take a look at the picture I have included and make sure that the wires in your harness are in the same places. This is the end that plugs into the truck. It needs to plug in at the junction box under the dash, to the left. It will plug into the spot that is on the top row, second from the left. The wire functions are white for ground, black for 12 volt power, blue for output to trailer brakes, and...

  • Hopkins Reliance Trailer Brake Controller Does Not Work When Brake Pedal is Pressed
    There could be a couple of issues that are causing the problem with the Reliance brake controller on your 2008 Dodge Ram. First, determine how the brake controller is wired to the truck. If it is using a harness that plugs into the vehicle, # HM47755, or something similar, then you can check the stop light fuse to see if it is blown. If it is hardwired in then you should see the red wire on the brake controller attach to a wire on the brake switch above the brake pedal. This is the stop...

  • Recommended Wiring and Lights for Utility Trailer
    I'm assuming you want to replace everything here so I will start off with a 4-way. I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness - 30' Long # HM48265. This will give you a lot of wire to work with so you can hook up all of your lights. This uses your typical 18 gauge wire for the lights and 16 gauge for the ground. If you need additional wire you can use the # SWC97FR or # DW02923-1. You could use the Self-Stripping Connector with Waterproof Sealant - 14-18...

  • Does 4-Way For 2022 Ford Maverick Come With Reverse Wire For Light Strip
    The 4-way for your 2022 Ford Maverick, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR, does not come with a reverse wire, and unfortunately there isn't a way to get a harness that does have a reverse wire. For your light strip, you can plug it into the 4-way, but do have to hardwire the reverse light, but this can be made easier with a splice like Quick Splice # SWC501746-1. I fully realize that's a bit of a pain and not what you wanted to hear, but it really is the only option. And...

  • How to Install a Trailer Brake Controller in a 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2006 Mercedes ML500
    First, I will say that the Tekonsha P3, # 90195, is an excellent brake controller and would work well on both the 2003 Jeep Liberty and the 2006 Mercedes ML500. This brake controller is compatible with electric brake systems and electric over hydraulic brake systems. It also includes a multi-color display and can run diagnostics. The only thing is that you will need to hardwire the controller in both vehicles because a quick plug-in adapter is not available for either vehicle. But installation...

  • Can I Use the Quick Splice Connectors to Install a New Wishbone 4-Flat Trailer Harness
    Yes. There's no reason you can't use something like the Quick Splices - Self-Stripping Connector - Closed Port - 14-16-18 Gauge - Blue - Qty 1 # SWC502905-1 to install the # W002230 on your trailer. The # W002230 uses 18 gauge wiring, so the # SWC502905-1 would be the recommended quick splices assuming that your trailer also uses 14, 16 or 18 gauge wiring. I've also linked all of our quick splice connectors to this answer in case you find that you need something sized differently.

  • Parts Needed to Run Combined Wiring to 3rd Brake Light on Truck Cap
    If your truck has a combined lighting system where the stop signal is run on the same wires as the left and right turn signals then you can simply use the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196. This converter separates the stop signal from the turn signals and will allow you to wire your 3rd brake light so that it will not blink when your turn signal is activated. To install it you will need to connect either the green or yellow wire to the appropriate turn/stop signal and connect...

  • Wiring Harness for a Honda Valkyrie to Tow an Escapade Motorcycle Trailer
    Actually, you would not need a converter style wiring harness on your Honda Valkyrie because motor cycles also have separate turn signal and brake like circuits like your Escapade trailer. All I need to know is what kind of connector is on the trailer so that we can get you the matching one for the bike. I looked at some pictures of the trailer and it looks like it uses a 5-Way flat connector. For a vehicle side 5-Way flat you can use # HM47900. The wire with the ring terminal is the...

  • Wiring Location to Connect a Brake Controller to a 2017 GMC Acadia
    The stop light switch wiring is located behind your brake pedal on your 2017 GMC Acadia. See the picture for a visual. If you are having trouble locating the wire you can use a Circuit Tester # PTW2993 to find out which wire sends a signal when the brake is depressed. You can use a Quick Splice Wire Connector # SWC501746-1 or a Butt Connector # DW05714 to connect the red wire from your brake controller to the stop light switch wire on your Acadia.

The only other things you should need are some primary wire like part # 16-1-1 and quick splice connectors like part # SWC501746-1. I have attached a wiring diagram for you as well.

  • Turn Signals On 2019 Ford F-350 Flat Bed Still Flash with Load Resistors Installed
    The two most common issues with resistors like part # DI34ZR are incorrect installation and the quick splice connectors not having enough contact with the circuit. I have attached for you below the correct wiring diagram for a load resistor but make sure you have the correct wires beforehand by testing with a circuit tester. The quick splice connectors included with most resistors are not of the best quality so I think you will have much better success with part # SWC501746-1. When installing...

  • Left Turn Signal Circuit Causes Power to Bleed Over to Brake Circuit on 2006 Ford F-350
    First, the center high mount stop lamp or CHMSL powers a third brake light. There is one under the truck for a camper shell that has a third brake light on it. To me it sounds like there is a short somewhere, wires exposed and touching other wires, which is causing the back feeding. It is likely a problem somewhere that is difficult to access or I imagine you would have found it by now since you have done so much already. What I recommend is to bypass the trouble circuits since they...
