Excellent for complete replacement on my boat trailer. Easy installation and quality products.



by:

I have nothing but happy thoughts about these. I know I installed them right around when I received them. I can't for the life of me remember where I installed them so they must be working fantastically otherwise I would remember having to take them back apart!



by:

Quality heat-shrink butt connectors. Easy to install with the right torch and one year later they are still working well.



by:

All my items were received in timely fashion. Great service @ etrailer.
However, Dexter (I ordered original Dexter parts) needs to up the game on packaging. I ordered four hub assemblies and the bearings were placed in a plastic bag which I'm sure banged around on the hub. A bubble envelope would have been nice to protect the bearings.
I'm looking forward to upgrading my trailer with new Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes as was getting tired of constantly manually adjusting the brakes. Glad that etrailer has all the parts I need to do the job.

Easy assembly of all parts, trailer rides like new.

I want to thank you for all your help with my trailer you were more helpful than you realize. So this is my trailer for a 22' Flats Cat shallow draft Catamaran. I totally dismantled my trailer and buffed by hand with a wire buffer and sand blasted in some spots and applied multiple coats of some very expensive galvanize paint (Z.R.C.). I installed all new C. E. Smith Carpet (about 80'), seven new LED waterproof lights, new springs, new equalizers, new tongue jack, new wench, new safety chain, new chain brackets, all new SS hardware and a 35' long wiring harness.
I was able to send only one review with a picture of the safety chain and brackets. I'm having a little trouble with the rest..oh some of these items were bought locally or from your competitors, until I found ETRAILER. Your prices were cheaper for the exact same things. Your helpful how to videos were helpful. And Rose, your personal helpful knowledge made my buying experience very pleasant, I actually enjoyed talking to you! Thanks to ETRAILER and specifically to Rose G.



by:

Genuine Dexter parts at great price. Needs better shipping box. One wire was cut during shipping. Boxes were really beat up. New Grease caps don't fit well fell off, used old ones.

Theo

Fine, was a great value



by:

The heat shrink works quite well. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star rating was the fact that I had two connectors "let go" of one of the wires after I had crimped it (with a crimping tool) and heat shrank (with a heat gun) the connector. This is a good product but buy more than you need because you may need to replace one.



by:

Quick delivery. Wired the trailer and every thing worked nicely.



by:

Great butt connectors to use when replacing original lights with new LED lights..

Everything is working perfect and thank you for the follow up. I will be buying more when the time comes that I need something you carry and I recommend you to all of my friends and colleagues



by:

It takes a lot of force to crimp properly, but I haven't had any issues.



by:

Not much to say other than they work. Used them when replacing OEM tail lights with LEDs. Still going strong after one year.

Tony

Still going strong no issues in Central Florida high heat, humidity, and heavy rains.



by:

Just as described. Perfect for boat trailer electrical connections at a great price. The side lights and grommets fit like the originals. Service and selection can't be beat!



by:

They've been on a year and are still working well. Brighter than incandescent. Etrailer website extensive information (pictures, dimensions, demos, etc) helped me find the the exact match I needed. Install was easy. Hardest part was trying to do a neat job of sealing. I used a clear sealant, so it's not that bad.



by:

These were taillights for a trailer. The LED lights were great and fit in the same location as the old lights but much easier to see and much safer.



by:

First time using these. Hard time to use because of confined space. After heat shrinking, I applied dielectric grease too.



by:

eTrailer is my go-to for boat trailer parts and I've always had a great experience using them. Everything works as anticipated. These connectors did the trick!



by:

I received The LED trailer lights and connectors. Everything was just as expected and I installed the lights with no problems. Perfect! Good job etrailer.com!



by:

Excellent products, shipped as promised and arrived on time. I have installed all the products. Although it took me longer then a professional installer, I had little to no issues. The online installation videos for all the parts (which were attached to the online order status sheet) made it extremely easy to install. The videos were of a professional actually installing the equipment step by step. etrailer.com has a customer for life.



by:

Heat shrink connectors worked great for connecting the wiring for a new brake assembly on my travel trailer.



by:

Purchased two water proof tail lights for my boat trailer along with the heat shrink connectors. Delivered in 3 days and exactly what I needed. Can't beat etrailer.



by:

This company is a class act, great pricing, service and delivery, they actually go out of their way to help, such a pleasure to work with them.
Glad I somehow discovered them, will keep using them as needed. Hope this review helps others.



by:

Used to connect new trailer lights to existing 18 gauge wiring. The crimp and heat shrink make a long lasting connection.



by:

Product worked great for trailer wiring repair.

Thank you, and everything still working great. I still browse your site checking out items.



by:

These connectors work great and when heat is applied create a water tight seal on the connections



by:

All items were packaged great and arrived in excellent condition. Fast shipping and super service. Items will replace all of the existing brake components on my Casita trailer.

  • Dimensions and Wiring Identification For Rotary Dimmer Switch # 37215235
    The Rotary Dimmer Switch # 37215235 is 3-9/16" tall, and 2-3/16" wide. The cutout section is 2-9/16" tall and 1-3/4" wide. The red wire is for connecting to your 12 volt positive power source while the white wire leads to the positive terminal on the light fixture. The ground wire will connect straight to the battery or other 12 volt ground source. When replacing your switch you will be able to tie your negative wires together at the switch to complete this circuit. Be sure to use a connector...

  • Option For Connecting A 6 Way Square Trailer Plug To A 5 Way Round Plug On A Harley
    I do have a potential solution for you. Unfortunately we do not have any kind of adapter that will work for this purpose. The 5 way round plug is fairly uncommon and we actually do not carry anything compatible with a 5 round plug. We suggest instead swapping out your 5 way round plug for a 6 way square plug. You can use the Wiring Connector Kit # 37995 to add a brand new 6 way square plug to your Harley. This kit also comes with a new trailer end plug. You can use a few Heat Shrink Butt...

  • Can Butt Connectors Be Used to Repair a Damaged 7-Way Trailer Connector
    You will be fine to use some butt connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05744-5 for 16 to 14 gauge, # DW05745-5 for 12 to 10 gauge, or # DW05743-5 for 22 to 18 gauge to repair your 7-way. Just remember that whenever you do any electrical work on your vehicle, you'll want to disconnect the battery to be safe. Whenever you're done working, just reconnect your battery and you'll be all set.

  • Recommended Butt Connector for Installing Tekonsha # 18002 on a 2007 Lexus RX 350
    You can definitely use the quick splices that are included with the Tekonsha 4-Pole 60" Long Vehicle End # 18002 that you referenced, but butt connectors secured by electrical tape would provide much more of a secure installation on your 2007 Lexus RX 350. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-5 for 22-18 Gauge Wire because they are much more secure and will last longer than standard butt connectors like part # 05730-5.

  • Brake/Hazard Lights on 1996 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup Do Not Work After Brake Controller Install
    This is an unusual issue that seems to be related to the installation method rather than the brake controller. My technical contact at Tekonsha advised that he has seen it happen when quick-splice connectors are used (rather than the more secure butt connectors) that these quick-splice fasteners go all the way through the wire itself, severing it, rather than just cutting through the insulation layer. It could be that your installer may have used these connectors and when clamping them...

    For your application I recommend picking up the Wesbar Wishbone Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 002402 because it has the 2 brown wires so your installation will be really simple. Just use heat shrink butt connectors like part # DW05743-5 for the standard wires and add a ring terminal like part # DW05737-1 for the ground wire. If you already have a 4-Way connector with just 4 wires then you'll combine the ends of the 2 brown wires and connect them to the running light...

    The WesBarg 7-Way, RV-Style Connector # WG54006-043 uses two different gauges of wiring so you will need two sizes of butt connectors. For the three smaller wires you will want Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 gauge wire # DW05744-5. For the three larger wires you will want Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 22-18 gauge wire # DW05743-5.

  • Availability of Side Marker and Turn Lights for a 2003 Dutchman Colorado
    The best option for your 2003 Dutchman Colorado is the LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w/ Turn and Reflector # MCL32ATB as it has the functions you are looking for while also acting as a reflector. I have attached both a review and an installation video that you can check out. The white wire is for ground, the black wire is for running lights, and the red wire is for the turn signal. You'll need butt connectors like part # DW05744-5 or # DW05743-5 to complete the installation.

  • Parts Needed to Connect European 7-Pin to U.S. 4-Way Flat
    There are a few parts you will need, and this will require you cutting off your European 7-pin. First, you'll need a U.S. 4-way, the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48110, along with Converter # 118158. If you take a look at the accompanying diagram, you can see exactly how to wire the converter to the 4-way and you will need to do this with Butt Connectors - 22-18 Gauge # DW05743-5 and 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-5.

  • Recommended Butt Connectors to Use with Wesbar 4-Flat Connector # W002230
    The Wesbar 4-Flat Connector Wishbone Style # W002230 referenced in your question features 18 gauge wire (and 16 gauge for the ground wire). With this in mind the Deka Butt Connectors # 05730-5 that you also mentioned will work great, as it is designed for 22 to 18 gauge wire. It includes 5 connectors. For a more secure and durable connection you might also consider heat shrink butt connectors like # DW05743-5 instead. These will also work with the Wesbar harness and includes 5 connectors.

This light is completely submersible, so you can simply mount it with the 3 inch on center mounting holes but the mounting hardware is not included.

  • Will Optronics LED Lights Corrode
    I can't speak for the lights you used but the Optronics LED lights, part # TLL160RK, won't corrode as long as they're installed and used properly. With any trailer lights, even submersible lights, I recommend unplugging your trailer connector before putting them underwater. Also, since the wiring connections aren't considered a submersible part of the light use heat shrink butt connectors, like part # DW05743-5, to make the connections. Leaving the connections exposed can definitely...

  • Finding the Brake Signal Wire During Installation of the Curt Spectrum on my 2020 Hyndai Santa Fe
    To get that Curt Spectrum part # C51170 installed your best bet is to use a test light like the Circuit Tester part # PTW2992 to determine which wire has power when the brake pedal is pushed. With such thin wires I recommend using a straight pin into the plug area where the wires go so you do not damage the thin wiring. Once it is determined this you can use the Heat Shrink Connector part # DW05743-5 to make your splice.
