How to Wire In the Tekonsha Battery Charger for Trailer Breakaway Systems - 12 Volt DC # 1024

Published 11/07/2017

Question:

My breakaway system is just like the kit #20005. Battery in the box by itself with positive and negative terminals and my breakaway connector with 2 black wires. Can I wire in this charger and how would it be wired in. I also have a 7 pole connector box. Thanks

I have included a diagram showing how breakaway battery charger # 1024 gets wired into a trailer. Basically, the black wire will connect to the 12 volt wire coming from the trailer connector. The blue wire will go to the blue wire that goes the breakaway switch from the breakaway battery. The red charger part connects directly to the positive battery terminal (not shown in the picture).
