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…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…

Reliable Butt Connectors for Your Wiring Needs
Butt connectors are essential for secure and efficient wiring connections, especially in trailer brake and lighting systems. They ensure a solid, factory-like finish when installed correctly. Perfect for DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade or repair their trailer wiring.
Butt connectors provide a reliable and secure connection for trailer wiring, ensuring that electrical signals are transmitted efficiently. They are easy to install and offer a clean, professional finish. When heat-shrinkable, they also provide a level of water resistance, which is crucial for outdoor applications.
Not all butt connectors are waterproof. Some are designed with heat-shrinkable tubing that provides a water-resistant seal when heated. This feature is important for applications exposed to moisture, like trailer wiring. Always check the product specifications to ensure it meets your needs.
To install butt connectors, strip the wire ends, insert them into the connector, and crimp securely. For heat-shrinkable connectors, apply heat with a blow dryer or heat gun to shrink the tubing and create a watertight seal. This ensures a durable and reliable connection, ideal for trailer wiring.
Butt connectors are versatile and can be used for various wiring projects, especially where a secure connection is needed. They are particularly popular for trailer wiring and repairs. However, for applications requiring waterproof connections, ensure you choose heat-shrinkable connectors.
Consider the wire gauge compatibility, whether you need waterproofing, and the ease of installation. Heat-shrinkable connectors are ideal for outdoor use, providing a watertight seal. Also, ensure the connectors are compatible with your specific wiring needs, such as trailer brake and lighting systems.
