Can a 4-Way Flat Harness With Full Length Ground Wires Be Used In Place Of Grounding To Frame?
Question:
If I run a wishbone flat 4 with 25’ ground wires around the aluminum trailer , is this sufficient for grounding the lights
asked by: Dennis P
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use a 25 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB with a full length ground wire to ground your Tail Lights. You will not have to ground either the harness or the lights to the frame on your aluminum trailer.
I recommend using Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10 for your wire splices. This will help to protect the wiring from corrosion issues at the connections.
