...Hi, etrailer recommends to using Deka 10-2 gauge wire for running electric brakes to a tandem axle trailer. If this is the case, why does 7-way harnesses with molded plugs only have 12 gauge wiring...
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
