• How To Wire In A Camper Shell Third Brake Light On A 2021 GMC Sierra
  Hey Dan, To wire in a camper shell third brake light you'll need the 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 you were looking at and you'll need to splice into your Sierra's left and right turn signal functions. You'll need to pop the tail lights out to gain access to the wire harnesses and can then use a tester # PTW2993 to see which wire lights up when the turn signal is on. Once you find both the left and right turn signals you can use a butt connector # DW05744-5 to secure the wiring....

• How to Add Backup Light to 2021 Kodiak Cub 177RB
  Hi Mitch; you can add the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # OPT62KB but you will need to run additional wiring. Under your camera will work, or wherever else you want to install it that works best for your setup. Then you can run # DW02412-1 to your reverse light circuit so the light is powered whenever you're in reverse. If you already have reverse lights you can tap into that at the rear or you can run it all the way up to your junction box/trailer connector. Any trips...

• Parts Needed to Rewire Equipment Trailer With Brakes
  We don't have a full kit but it will be fairly easy to put together. You can start with a new 7-way like the Bargman # 50-67-106. This comes with 18' of cable which will cover your needs for the most part. I also recommend using a junction box like the # 38656 along with ring terminals # 44-5310A and # DW05702-1. This will help keep everything organized. If you need additional wire to run to the lights you can use # DW02412-1 along with butt connectors # DW05744-10. If you need extra...

• How to Wire Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator Electric Lockout on Trailer With 7-Way
  The Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-20 should be wired to the reverse light circuit on your 7-way. Although I do not have a specific wiring diagram, this is a simple process. There are two wires on your brake actuator. One will be the ground and the other connects to the reverse lights. These are interchangeable so you don't have to worry which you use. The reverse lights should run to the middle pin on your 7-way connector. The wire color is typically going to be yellow...

• Converting 5-Way Round Connector on Trailer to 4-Way Flat Connector for use with a Motorcycle
  Since you will be gutting the wiring on your motorcycle trailer what I recommend doing is installing the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Y-Harness # HM48244 along with the Curt Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196. What this does is give you an Easy-Pull harness to make disconnecting your trailer wiring from your motorcycle easier, 2 wires for the running lights, and 2 wires for your stop/turn signals. Since you have separate turn signals simply use the converter to isolate your...

• Can Loading Light Connect to Reverse Light Circuit on Cargo Trailer
  You could definitely connect your light to the reverse light circuit on the 7-way. All you need to do is run some wire like # DW02412-1 back to the light and splice it in on the light side of the switch. I don't know of any specific lighting regulations that wouldn't allow this but it is hard to keep track of everything. It is always a good idea to check with MO Highway Patrol. For a nice bright light I recommend the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL111CFPG. The only...

• How to Connect Backup Lights When Trailer Isn't Wired For Backup
  In order to use the backup lights on the # STL68RB you will need to run additional wire on your trailer. Depending on your trailer connector you may also need to swap out the connection. Starting off lets knock out the trim ring since you mentioned it, which is the # A68SSB. Moving on to the wiring, if you already have a 7-way you can run the yellow # DW02412-1 from the connector on your 7-way back to the lights. Yellow is a common reverse color and this will connect to the brown wire...

• Troubleshooting Blown Brake Light Fuse When Towing Roadmaster Tow Dolly Behind RV
  It sounds like you have a short somewhere on your brake light circuit. Since your Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 is newer I believe the problem is on your RV. Start off by checking both the connector on your tow dolly and your RV and make sure that the pins which carry the brake signals (on either side of the connector) are in good condition and don't have any corrosion. If these look good then you will want to check the wiring itself. Look for any places that have exposed or bent wiring...

• Need Brake Flange For Adding Brakes to Homemade Trailer
  Since your hubs are for 5200-lb axles and you've confirmed that you do have a 3" diameter axle, you'll need the Redline 5 Bolt Flange # 4-44-1 . You should know, if you don't already, that brake flanges need to be welded perfectly concentric. For that reason we generally recommend that the work be done by an experienced trailer shop that has the required jig. To add brakes to your axles you'll need a couple additional parts- brakes and a hub and drum assembly. For brakes I recommend the...

  There are a few different ways to get the indicator light from the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 operating in your motorhome. If you don't plan on using the brake controller circuit on your motorhome then you can connect the indicator to your motorhome by using that circuit. Tap in a wire from the stop light circuit on your towed vehicle to the connector at the front of your towed, making sure it corresponds to the brake controller pin on your motorhome...

• Troubleshooting Charge Line Kit Not Working When Flat Towing a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  What you are describing sounds like the 15A circuit breaker that comes with the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is shot. This can easily be replaced with another circuit breaker like the 20A # 9506P but since your kit is only a year old it would be good to check your wiring as well as these shouldn't go out that quick. Check to make sure that all of the wiring looks good and it isn't exposed. If you do see that some of the wiring is damaged or exposed and you need replacement wire then we...

  There is another option but the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PAL8120Q you were looking at is for a 2007-2014 GMC Sierra or Chevrolet Silverado. For your 2020 Toyota Tacoma you will need the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock # PL54FR which will not require drilling. The Pop & Lock # PL54FR will bolt to your factory tailgate handle and the included wiring harness will connect to a black and blue wire located by the driver side B-Pillar on your vehicle which allows it to be locked and...

• Troubleshooting No Power to Left Turn/Stop Trailer Fuse on 2005 Chevy Silverado
  Since you aren't getting power to either side of the fuse the only way that you could get your left turn/stop circuit to work on the 7-Way of your 2005 Chevy Silverado without taking it in to a shop is to splice in behind your left tail light and route 14 Gauge Wire # DW02412-1 from the left turn/stop circuit to the pin in the 9 o'clock position on your 7-Way. I recommend using heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05745-5 to do so. If you'd rather not do that then you need to take...

• Wall Adapter Compatibility with 12 Volt Clearance Light
  SInce it has a single wire, it is a clearance light. You will use the mounting bracket as your ground as you stated and run 12v power to the wire. You can use a 12v marine battery connecting the negative to the bracket and the positive to the wire. If you want to install a switch like # PK34513 in line that will work well. You can use wire like the 14 Gauge Primary Wire - Yellow - per Foot # DW02412-1. If you want a converter, you can use the # 329-GENIUS2D to connect to a standard...

• Troubleshooting Furrion Observation Camera Not Activating on Trailer Due to Low Voltage
  The best solution for your problem is to address why your trailer's running light circuit has too low of voltage for the Furrion camera to function. Most likely the wiring of your running light circuit needs to be replaced with a heavier gauge wire. It sounds like the resistance of longer wiring has lowered the voltage which is causing the problem you mentioned. You most likely have 16 or 18 gauge wire ran for this circuit. I'd replace it all with 14 gauge wire like the part # DW02412-1...

• Recommended 7-Way Connector for Trailer and Wire for 12V Trickle Charge
  Since I am not entirely sure what you have on your trailer, I will give you a few different options for a 7-way trailer end connector. If you only need the plug, I recommend the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End # PK12706. For a plug that is pre-wired with extra cable, check out the 7-Way Molded Connector w/ 15' Cable - Trailer End # 50-67-103. If you need to run wire for the reverse light, you can use the 14 Gauge Primary Wire - Yellow # DW02412-1....

• Troubleshooting Turn Light Fuse Blowing With Cargo Trailer
  If you add additional wire you're still going to be getting under the trailer to run it. I would go ahead and look under the trailer to check for a short in the wiring. Many times this can be found near the lights where the wire connects. It would also be a good idea to check out your connector. Make sure it is free from any debris and corrosion. If you don't find anything, instead of running a separate 4-way I would run new wire from the lights to your 7-way connector. It would also be...

• Troubleshooting Left Turn and Running Light Trailer Functions on a 1997 Ford F-350 4x4
  It sounds like you spliced in a second 7-Way connector like part # 20023 to the current 7-Way wiring on your 1997 Ford F-350 for an in-bed camper and the lights on the camper aren't working. Is the original 7-Way testing correctly? If it is but the in-bed 7-Way isn't testing correctly then you have isolated the issue to the wiring harness that you installed. If neither are working correctly then I would try testing the wiring before the splice with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to...
