Helpful Expert Reply:
On a 7-Way trailer connector such as # H20046 the 12 volt wire would connect to any accessory that would need 12 volt power such as a trailer mounted battery or a jack in some cases. You usually do not see them on boat trailers. If you don't have anything on the trailer that needs 12 volt power you can just cap off that wire and stow it out of the way.
