How to Wire an Electric Reverse Lockout on a Trailer to Work with a Vehicle that has a 4-Way Flat

Question:
WHere do I wire WITH A 4 WAY FLAT CONNECTOR?

Expert Reply:
Since you have a 4-Way flat trailer connector, you will need to add a 5-Way flat adapter, # 20036, to the vehicle and a 5-Way flat, # HM47910, on the trailer if you want the electric reverse lockout to work. On the vehicle side, the extra wire will connect to a reverse light wire.
On the trailer side, the extra wire will attach to one of the wires on the solenoid. The other solenoid wire will need to be grounded to the trailer frame.
I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of the vehicle side adapter.
