Hey Jared, I would recommend using ring terminals to make all of the wired connections to the junction of the etrailer part # e99011 which will allow you to keep the wires from touching each other and also allow for a solid connection. Do you run that gauge wire for the 12 volt accessory and the ground circuit?

We sure do Mike. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011 along with the 16 Gauge, Per Foot item #16-4B-1 if you're replacing the lighting wire, and 12 Gauge 2 Conductor…

Are you looking for a wiring harness for the vehicle or the trailer? You normally wouldn't put a 4-way and a 7-way on the trailer as you'd pick one or the other based on if the trailer has brakes. Since yours is going to have brakes you'd…

Answer 3

The #e99011 fits both styles of vehicle 7-way configurations. The only difference between the two is the colors of the wires. The functions are all pinned out the same on the 7-way and the physical connector is exact same as well.

Answer 7

First you have to look at the amperage the winch draws and compare it to what the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way connector is rated for. Winches can draw a lot of power and could easily over draw the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way. Most 7-Way connectors…

Answer 9

First thing to check is to see if there's voltage on the 1:00 pin of the 7-way on your truck. This is the 12 volt accessory circuit which would be what would charge the battery. Most of the time it's just a bit of corrosion on this pin that…

If you are a frequent user of a medium to heavy duty winch then yes it is a good idea to carry a separate battery with you. Many times we see the auxiliary battery mounted within the engine compartment if there is space available when you have the…

Answer 11

The wiring that feeds the 12-volt accessory circuit on the 7-way trailer connector is of insufficient gauge to allow enough power to pass through to run a trailer mounted winch. The main function of that circuit would be for lighter-duty…
