4-Square to 5-Round Trailer Connector

Question

Question:

I have a Can Am Spyder with a 4 way square connector. I just bought a trailer that has a 5 pin round Harley Connector. Is there an adapter? I have a pigtail for a 4 flat to a 4 pin square I used on my last trailer. I am not electrically inclined.

There is not an adapter so you'd need to make your own for your trailer with a 5-round connector like # PK11501. What you'd need to do is cut off the end of your 4-way and connect the wires to the terminals of the 5-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket - Vehicle End # PK11502.

There is no adapter to go from a 4-Way flat to a 5-Way round connector so you have a couple of options. What I would do is to install a 4-Way flat using #119178KIT. Then use a 4 to 5-Way flat adapter, #20036. The extra wire on the adapter, normally…
