4-Way Trailer Wiring Solution for 2003 Winnebago

Question:

I have a 2003 Winnebago with separate turn and brake lights. It has an old draw tite modulite that is not working rights. The modulite has a into for battery, R /L turn, stop and tail lights, plus 12v and ground. The other side is Turn/Stop and a separate tail light. This one does not have the brown wire. Can I just connect the brown wire directly to my 7 pin?

Hey David, so the Tow Ready part # 118158 that you referenced is just a signal converter to take a combined setup and make it separate which is why it doesn't have a running light circuit. More importantly though this wouldn't work for you since it was designed for going from combined to separate and you need the opposite for trailer wiring.

Instead you'd need the Curt # C59236 which converts the signals you have and provides a 4-way that is fully functional.

I want to make sure it the right part. I thought it was as the curt 59187 as the rv has separate tail, turn and brake lights and it is found to a 7 pin plug. From there the 7 pin either connects to a trailer or 2006 jeep in tow, that both have combined tail, brake and turn lights. Please confirm the part and thank you!

@David The # C59236 will also work as it is also a universal style trailer wiring kit. You can wire this to a 7-way too or if you need one too we have the adapter part # 37185.

@JamesonC Ho Jameson, so I am now confused. When I put this item in for a 2003 Winnebago Journey, it says it will not fit. It seems that the c59236 is going the other direction in power. From a vehicle with a combined blinker/light/brake light to a tow vehicle with a separate light for each as I described above. Which would make sense as to why it says it will not fit. However you’ve indicated that both the c59236 and c59187 will work. But one is a 2 wire to 3 and the other is a 3 wire to 2.

@David We actually don't carry the 59187 but I would just go with the # c59236 as it actually can work on combined or separate vehicles depending on how you wire the kit up.
