Thank you for your question, I just need clarity on what type of video you are checking to see if we have? Are you asking how to wire a 7-way trailer connect from the 7-way to the battery on the trailer?

Which product are you interested in?

You will need # ETBC7 if you don't already have a 7-way. If you have a 7-way and the 12 volt circuit isn't active, then you can use # 5506. If you need to wire on the trailer side then you can use any of our trailer side 7-ways, (if you don't have one already) and extra wire # 10-1-1. I linked video of the # ETBC7 being installed, starting at the 2:35 minute mark the 12 volt wire is being installed. However, we don't have a video on wiring to a trailer battery on the trailer. I have a diagram and a help article attached showing the 7-way connections on the trailer. You will run part # 10-1-1 from the pin in the 1 o'clock position on the backside of the trailer's connector directly to the positive post of your trailer battery. Then use more of part # 10-1-1 from the negative side of the battery directly to a clean and bare metal place on the trailer's frame for the ground.
