Question:
I have yellow butt connectors for my trailer wiring. Do all trailer wiring butt connectors need to be heat shrinked? These sat just to crimp them. Thank you.

Most butt connectors are not designed with heat shrink built in, only specific ones like the # DW05745-5.
If you have just standard butt connectors like # 224775 you'll need to pick up heat shrink # DW05449 separately. Any connectors exposed to the elements should have heat shrink protecting them.
