Question:

Looking for a wiring harness that is more than 20 gauge thats just too thin I replace the wiring on this trailer twice now and the wire always turns green and disintegrates inside the insulation and goes bad at the connector so Im looking for something minimum of 16 gauge do you have anything that fit that category my trailer is 10 foot long 4 pin

I recommend taking a look at the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector # W787274 for your trailer. This 4-Way flat, trailer-side connector includes 14 feet of jacketed, 14-gauge wires for easy installation. This thicker wire will definitely hold up better than the existing wiring on your trailer.

If you just need jacketed wire and not the connector, you can use the Deka # DW04923-1. This 4-Wire, jacketed wiring uses 14-gauge wire and is sold by the foot, so you can order the exact length you are needing.
