Troubleshooting No Power to Trailer Battery Charging Circuit on 2010 Ford F-150  

The only pin that should be continuously showing 12V power on the 7-Way connector on your vehicle is the 12V power circuit which is normally the black wire but not always. In 7-way wiring the 12V auxiliary power feed is carried on the contact at the…

Are you looking for a wiring harness for the vehicle or the trailer? You normally wouldn't put a 4-way and a 7-way on the trailer as you'd pick one or the other based on if the trailer has brakes. Since yours is going to have brakes you'd…

I've linked a help article that will give you the common color coding but on your trailer I wouldn't go by it. Even if they are correct you just never know so I suggest testing it. To test it cut off the 5-way connector that's on there…

The #e99011 fits both styles of vehicle 7-way configurations. The only difference between the two is the colors of the wires. The functions are all pinned out the same on the 7-way and the physical connector is exact same as well.

Hey Jared, I would recommend using ring terminals to make all of the wired connections to the junction of the etrailer part #e99011 which will allow you to keep the wires from touching each other and also allow for a solid connection. Do you run that…

First you have to look at the amperage the winch draws and compare it to what the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way connector is rated for. Winches can draw a lot of power and could easily over draw the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way. Most 7-Way connectors…

If you are a frequent user of a medium to heavy duty winch then yes it is a good idea to carry a separate battery with you. Many times we see the auxiliary battery mounted within the engine compartment if there is space available when you have the…

Yes, you can wire your winch with clamps to the truck battery. 2 gauge wire should be sufficient for a 5,000 lb. winch. If you wanted to be sure, you can look in the owners manual to verify the wire gauge needed for your particular winch. You can use…

Yes, there is only one type of 7-way blade connector. I am attaching a help article about wiring that may be of interest to you.

Thanks for your question, Mark! Just want to make sure I’m understanding your setup correctly; you’re adding a battery to your trailer to power an electric winch, and you’d like to be able to keep that battery charged while towing, right? The…

Hello Dave, You’re right about how it works. When installing the Smart LED Light Strip w/ App and Wireless IR Remote Control #DIA86QR the Diamond Group DG72694 controller can run two LED strips at the same time. It has two plugs with four pins each…

The wiring kit you are going to need to go with is one that has a thick enough gauge to provide the amperage requirements of your winch and also has a long enough length to make it from your battery to the rear of the vehicle. Since I looked up the…
