Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector

Hello everybody, this is Jeff with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Deka yellow butt connectors for 12-10 gauge size wire. This is for a quantity of five connectors. Now, these yellow butt connectors will join two lengths of 12-gauge or 10-gauge size wire. It will insulate the connection with the heat shrinkable nylon for adjustability and durability and the yellow color of this connector indicates the size wire the connector will fit which is 12 to 10 gauge size, and also if you don't remember the color, what size it fits, it is stamped on the connector, 12-10 AWG, which it's telling you. But basically when you install this, what you'll do is get your two wires and enough you'll strip about a quarter of an inch of insulation off the end of each wire that you're wanting to connect, and then what you'll do is insert the end of the one wire all the way in into the metal casing until it stops right in the very center, they do have a stopper, so you push the wire in there, once it stops you make sure it's in the metal casing there and then what you'll do is take your crimper and you'll just crimp down on that metal casing until it holds the wire in place, and then you'll take your second wire and do the same on the other side, slide it all the way in, the part that you've stripped off, slide that all the way in 'til it stops, make sure it's in the metal casing, take your crimper, crimp it all the way down.

Once your two wires are in there, what you might wanna do is pull on both wires just to make sure you do have a good connection, that they've been crimped correctly. If that's all fine, then what you'll do is you'll take a heat source like a heat gun and then just apply heat over the whole insulation and what'll happen is it'll cause this nylon insulation to heat to shrink and it'll completely seal around your connection and prevent the elements from causing any problem with your connection. Now this part is for a quantity of five connectors. We do also sell this in a single pack which is part #DW05745-1, and also as a ten-pack, part #DW05745-10. But that should do it for the review on the Deka yellow butt connectors for the 12-10 gauge size wire for a quantity of five..

  • Fuse Box Instructions for Installing a Brake Controller on a 2003 Chevy Silverado
    Whether your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado came with a factory 7-Way or not, the wiring for both the brake controller and the 12V power pin on a 7-Way is already run. If you check out the video I attached of the Prodigy P2 # 90885 being installed on a similar 2003 Silverado you can see what needs to be done with the wiring under the fuse box at the 3:20 mark. You will just need to connect the Blue wires together and you will be good to go since you already took care of the Red wires. The P2...

This is where you will be able to attach the included pigtail using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and # DW05745-5.

  • Troubleshooting Voltage Drop from 12V to 7V When Trailer Brakes are Installed
    It sounds like you may have a poor ground connection which is causing low voltage when you are testing. Sometimes it may look like we have a really good ground point but some paint or debris is getting in the way and causing issues. What I recommend doing is taking your trailer brake ground wires and running them up to your main trailer ground location. You will likely need more 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 and I recommend using Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 because they hold up much...

    The install process of the Prodigy P3 # 90195 with the # 3016 in your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 is just like the install video I attached which happens to be the same as the on you referenced. You do not have to run any wires to the rear of the truck as they are already ran from the factory! The # 3016 plugs into the 4-pin connector in your Chevrolet Silverado 1500's junction box. The box is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, just above the carpeting.

  • Replacement for Damaged 7-Way Trailer Connector
    By damaged power cable, I assume you are referring to your trailer's 7-way being severed, and while there likely isn't going to be any electrical damage, you will need to replace the 7-way connector from the trailer. You didn't specify what was severed, but this is the most obvious culprit based on how they connect. For that you would be able to splice in a new connector, depending on the length you need: - 4 feet: 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20043 - 6 feet: Mighty Cord 7-Way...

  • What is the Wire Gauge on 10 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Magnets

  • Upgrading Big Tex #35SA Trailer With Brakes
    It sounds like your Big Tex trailer did not come with brakes. Based on this, to convert your trailer with no brakes, to adding electric brakes, on your Big Tex 35SA trailer, the first thing you need is a left and right brake kit. You could use the Dexter 23-26-27 kit (includes left and right) which matches your Dexter axle 4” X 4” brake flange. However, for a little more I would recommend Dexter # 23-468-469 Nev-R-Ajust self adjusting brake kit. Most people do not want to have to periodically...

  • Wire Size Butt Connectors is Needed to Connect Wiring for Electric Trailer Brakes
    Electric brakes, like part # 23-26-27, use 16 gauge wiring. However, we generally recommend using 10 gauge, like part # 10-2-1, to connect to the brakes because of how far the wiring generally has to be run. So you need to use butt connectors large enough for the 10 gauge wire, like part # DW05745-5. They'll still be able to be crimped down onto the smaller 16 gauge as well, especially since they're heat shrink. Between the two grease seals, parts # 58846 and # RG06-050, we prefer our...

  • Parts Needed To Install 7 Way Plug on Trailer
    Since a 4 way connection does not provide you with the capabilities to control the trailer's brakes, you would need to convert your boat's 4 way connector into a 7 way using something like the Epicord # 277-000143. In order to make wiring a bit easier and more organized, I also recommend using a Junction Box like the # 38656 so that you can connect all of the trailer wires to the box and then neatly wire the Epicord to the box. This will help ensure that all of your wiring is cleanly installed...

  • Curt Adapter # C57674 and Tekonsha Prodigy P2 and P3 Operation
    If you have the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole w/Test Lamps # C57674 correctly installed then the 12V light will remain on as that is 12V of constant current going to the adapter. The way that the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 and P3 # 90195 brake controllers work is that they have to have a trailer connected and there has to be movement for the inertia sensor to actually send output to the brake controller pin on your 7-Way when the brake pedal is pressed.

  • Connecting separate reverse trailer lights using 5-pole wiring harness
    You are definitely on the right track. Start off by installing the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 on your tow vehicle with the Blue wire running to your reverse light signal. Once that is done I then recommend cutting off the 4-Way Flat connector on your trailer side and installing the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47910 using Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 to secure your connections (wires on the 5-Way are labeled). You can either run to separate...

  • Troubleshooting Passenger Side Running Light On Tail Light Not Working
    Thanks for the picture! Based on the color of the wiring used on the light your red wire should be the turn signal and brake light wire, the black wire should be the running light wire, and the white wire should be the ground. You can confirm this by using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires while a friend turns on the running lights, and hits the brakes and turn signals. Now since wire nuts were used, it is possible that the connections are not secure as they can come...

    Hey Guy, I wasn't able to pin down what exact wiring came on your Palomino camper, but generally the in-bed truck campers use a 7-Way so they are able to provide power to all of the lights as well as any power that the camper requires to operate. To replace a 7-Way you can use the Replacement Connector # e99010 along with Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and # DW05745-5 to get all of your wiring connected. You'll want to connect the wires by function as opposed to by color. Let me know if...

    The parts needed and steps taken to install a brake controller, like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, on your 2016 Honda Odyssey will really depend on what they are wiring for your 7-Way. If they have wired all of the functions then you will simply need to connect the 4 wires from the pigtail on the P3 to the following functions: White - Ground (negative terminal on battery) Red - COLD side of Stop Light Switch (wire that gets hot only when brake pedal is pressed) Black - 12V Power (positive...

  • Why is 10 or 12 Gauge Wire Recommended for Electric Brake Assemblies
    The reason that 10 Gauge # 10-1-1 or 12 Gauge # 12-1-1 wire is recommended for 10" brake assemblies, like part # AKEBRK-35-SA, is because they pull more power than the lights on your trailer. I believe the green wire you are referring to carries the right turn/stop lighting functions as you can see from the attached photo of a trailer side 4-Way. The 14 and 16 gauge wires are too small for the amount of power needing to get to the brake assemblies and they could potentially get too hot,...

Since you already have a 4-Way on your F-150 you will need to use the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This will connect to your existing 4-Way and then will have some open ended wires that you will need to connect to the battery of your F-150 and your brake controller, as well as a wire with a ring terminal for a ground.

    The code 5.H (flashes 2x per second or a steady display) on the Prodigy P2 # 90885 indicates the brake wire is seeing a short during idling conditions. This could be due to dirt or corrosion on the pin connections of your 7-way, so I recommend cleaning your connections using sand paper or steel wool and then using dielectric grease # 11755 to protect from moisture and debris. If you are using an LED tester to check your functions, this is likely the issue and you should check your brake...
