by:

Very high quality wire, easily stripped outer and very good quality copper wire within. All connections were spliced and soldered, covered with heat shrink.
Easy to use. Again, having back-up is a game changer. Long overdue and nice to have affordable quality product to upgrade with.



by:

So, I converted my brand new Loadrite trailer to LED'S and wanted to add up a reverse light. I purchased this 5 wires trailer light harness to do the trick. Very good quality and the color code stayed the same. Had no problem what so ever and was an easy swap. I soldered every wires and protect them with heat shrink tubing and that should last a very long time.
Thank you.

George, after one year, Im pleased to say that your product still perform flawlessly. All is good with the harness and would recommended to all of your potential customer. Thank you for the follow up a year later, really show whos taking care of his customer. Again, thank you,



by:

I purchased this set to rewire my race car trailer and add reverse lights to the pigtail... wiring went flawlessly and there was plenty of wire and connectors are good quality... even had a dog chew on the trailer end and other than a slight ground issue, works perfectly.



by:

Average quality, very good shipping time plus hard to find item but etrailer had it.will definitely be buying from you guys in the future.



by:

Very bad experience. Placed an order on 5-24-23 for an item that showed to be in stock on the website. Receive an email stating that is back ordered and due to ship 6-5-23, several emails later still no wiring harness. Finally 7-10-23 I receive an empty envelope, well not completely empty it has a letter from USPS stating that the enclosed was found loose in the mail. A box would have been more appropriate to ship this item, as I have been in shipping for two different companies for 38 years now. I am unable to upload pictures of the envelope, I will send them via email.

Oh no! Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to look into issuing you a return.



by:

shipped fast, exactly what I ordered. Great quality



by:

Got this wiring harness for my small camper to completely re wire it. Also got rheTLl28RK combination trailer lights. Nice and bright!



by:

5-wire harness kit is exactly what I need. I hate splicing wiring runs because, in a saltwater environment, this only leads to more chances for corrosion. The only thing that would be better is the complete round plug set-up.
My boat and truck are happy!



by:

Sent the wrong harness ,... I ordered a 5 wire , received a 4 wire. Will not be able to use it ,and need the harness before the weekend, going on vacation .

Oh my goodness! My apologies for sending the incorrect harness. Customer Service will be in contact with you.



by:

Easy to install perfect length and works great!! Can’t see it on the trailer because I have it heat shrinked and wire loomed for protection



by:

Everything I ordered is in the box! Excited to get it all installed.



by:

WORKED GREAT.



by:

Worked exactly how I needed it to.



by:

After having this in my garage for about 6-9 months I finally got around to rewiring my trailer with this harness. The harness has been on the trailer for 4 months and it has been solid. I would recommend getting longer than you think you will need. IE if you have a 25 ft trailer get a harness that is ~30 ft.



by:

This product was exactly what I was looking for. I was having issues with my trailer lights on a 20 year old trailer. I decided it was best to just remove all of the old wiring and start off new. This product took care of any concerns i might have had by just replacing a wire or two. All of the lights and connections are excellent and I don't worry about something not working.



by:

Wiring is great. Was given 2 truck tail lights with back up lenses so I needed to rewire my trailer for a 5 wire system. My trailer is 30 years old so it needed a complete makeover. e trailer was a great help. They had a 5 wiring harness and a duel trailer connector for my Jeep. I needed a 4 wire and a 5 wire adapter to fit the Jeep to 2 trailers I own. They had what I wanted and it was delivered in 3 days.



by:

This wiring is almost plug and play! It is already set up with double brown wires to meet today's trailer wiring standard. And with the hitch-end flat plug and ground ring already in place, it is a quick installation. Thanks.



by:

Worked great. Exactly as I expected



by:

Needed to replace my wiring on my 18 foot boat trailer. This did the job. Easy plug and play.



by:

Product works well. Installed on boat trailer used primarily in saltwater. Corrosion is minimal.



by:

I have been in sales, retail, B2B, and sales management for over 30 years. E trailer has the whole package - excellent customer and sales service, great products, videos for those of us who like to do our own work, fair prices, and my go-to for my trailer needs.



by:

I. ordered this along with marker lights its been a year and they work great.



by:

Great, I think I will enjoy the install, with all that's going on in the World. Thanks for the extremely fast delivery and help with making my selections!


I did make one mistake, the Thin LED Light I order; I think I need to order the base bracket as well!



by:

Fast shipping and great product. Easy to install on my boat trailer. Will test the longevity of this product over the next several years. But overall very pleased, and etrailer is a wonderful company.



by:

Wire harness arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Worked perfectly and great price.

  • Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness For a Boat Trailer Using a 5-Way Flat Connector
    Currently the only wiring harnesses we have with a 5-way flat connector are like the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B and 40 FT Harness # A40W5B. These harnesses use 6 wires coming from the connector. It has a short 5' blue wire to run to the surge brake electric lockout, a short 30" ground wire to attach to the trailer frame, 2 brown wires for the running lights on either side of the trailer, a green wire for the passenger brake/turn signal and a yellow wire for the drivers...

  • How to Tow a Trailer with Reverse Lights 2013 Nissan Leaf
    Yes, the LED Trailer Light Kit part # TL16RK, Light Guide LED Backup Light part # BUL602CB, 25 ft. Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness part # A25W5B, and Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights part # A47PB will all work together and give your trailer reverse lights. The Submersible Tail Light Kit part # TLL36RK comes with a 4-way wiring harness and since you will be using a 5-way wiring harness, the more cost effective solution would be to purchase the Waterproof, Over 80"...

  • What Gauge are the Wires on Optronics Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness?
    The 25-foot Wishbone 5-Way Trailer Harness # A25W5B has 20 gauge wires. I have added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at.

  • Parts Needed for Installing 5-Way Harness on a Boat Trailer
    The best solution is going to be the part # A25W5B that you referenced. I will get into more of that here in a second, but the part # TL16RK only looks like it comes with all needed connectors and wouldn't require any hardwiring. What you would want to do is use the part # A25W5B to provide the wiring and connector for your trailer but then use a junction box like part # 38656 to make organizing the wiring and running each of the wires to each circuit easier. I attached an install video...

  • Why Does Trailer 5-Way part # A25W5B Have 6 Wires
    There are 6 wires on the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B that you referenced because this has a wishboned running light circuit which means it has a wire to run to either side of the trailer's running light circuit. So it still has the 5 standard circuit of a 5-way but just has two wires you can use for the running light circuit.

  • Replacing Trailer 5-Way That Has Each Circuit Split Into Two Wires
    That specific version of 5-way is not available at this time but the # A25W5B is the closest solution we have to this. It has the brown wire "wishboned" or split for either side of the trailer but the rest of the wires are a single wire per circuit. So what you'd need to do is run both of the wires you have on your trailer to the single wire on the 5-way and you'd be set. For butt connectors we have the part # DW05714.

  • Replacing 5-Way of Trailer that Has Two White and Brown Wires
    What you have is a wishbone style of 5-way that has the ground and running light circuit split for either side of the trailer. You can replace this setup with one that has a single wire by running both of the wires on the trailer side to the new connector if you wanted. We have the part # A25W5B which has the ground circuit wishboned but you'd need to run the two wires to the single running light circuit.

    A great choice for your boat trailer is the LED Trailer Light Kit for Trailers Over 80" Wide # TL16RK.

  • Recommended Replacement 5-Pin Wishbone Harness for a Boat Trailer
    What you're looking for is the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B. This is the 5-pin connector made of 16-18 AWG wires. I know you were looking for only a 5' section, however the odds are that if you're just needing a small section you likely have other damaged wiring down the line somewhere, and should probably replace the entire harness. Attached is an installation video for you to check out as well.

  • What Should Be Done With Extra Ground Wires Found When Installing Tail Light
    First, go ahead and follow the instructions and ground the light to the frame. After this is done, I would suggest grounding the other wires to the frame as well since you don't exactly know what they are coming from or what they are for. This is a safe bet and will prevent you from running into any issues.

  • Wiring For Electric Lockout on Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VR
    The electric lockout on the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM62VR has 2 yellow wires as they are not positive/negative specific. You will connect one of the yellow wires to your 5-Way # A25W5B blue wire. The other you will connect to ground. I recommend the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and Heat Shrink Ring Terminal # DW05737-1 to keep a weathertight connection on the wiring.

  • Wiring For Trailer With Brakes For Compatibility With 7-Way Connector On 2016 Dodge 2500
    Since your 2016 Dodge 2500 has a 7-way, I recommend just adding a 7-way trailer wire connector to your trailer like # H20046. This will give you a simple connection between your vehicle and trailer without converters. You can simply tape up the wires you aren't using at the trailer and leave them in your junction box. If you want a 7 way with junction box, you can use the 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # HS381-9000. Adding this molded 7-way plug will make a much cleaner...

    What you have is a 5-way with a double wishbone, which means it is likely a double wire for marker lights as well as a double ground. You can replace your 5-way with another wishbone-style but it does not need to be a double wishbone with 7 wires, you can replace it with a standard 5-way wishbone with 6 wires: - 25 feet: 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness - Wishbone Style # A25W5B

We do not offer them as a pair for lower price. Since you mentioned replacing your wiring the 25 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B is a great starting point. You will need to add additional 20 gauge wire to run the reverse line circuit back to the tail lights. You will need the Tow Ready...

  • Replacing 5-Way Connector with 8 Wires on Boat Trailer
    We definitely have what you need to replace the 5-Way connector on your boat trailer, but there's not going to be a pre-made 5-Way harness that includes 8 wires. As you mentioned the most you will likely find is a wishbone harness like # A25W5B that uses 6 wires (a separate running lights circuit wire for each side of the trailer). A previous owner or the factory simply used a non-standard wiring setup when installing the connector and wiring on your trailer. With all of that being said,...

  • Replacement 5-Way Recommendation to Replace a 5-Way that Had 7-Wires Run to It
    What you have is a 5-way trailer connector with a wishbone running light circuit and 5th auxiliary circuit. The closest thing we have would be the Wishbone 5-way Part # A25W5B. This has a wishboned running light circuit, but the 5th circuit is not. You can still make this work though. You just need to run both of the red wires from your trailer wiring into one butt connector and then run the other side of the butt connector to the blue wire of the # A25WB.

    I may have an option for you but we do not sell a 14' 5-way flat connector harness that has a protective coating on it other than the wiring insulation. I recommend the 25' 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W5B which can be cut down to 14' if you need the trailer side connector, or the longest vehicle side connector is the 5' Hopkins Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM37908 and adding Wire Loom # 7509-1 which is sold by the foot for further protection.

  • Can Optronics 5-Way # A25W5B Wire to Wishboned Trailer Wiring
    Hey Zen, it sounds like your wiring has what's called "wishbone" circuits where a wire goes to each side of the wiring to control both sides. This is pretty common and the part # A25W5B that you referenced can work with this. You'd just need to match up the correct wishboned circuits and run it to the single wire of the 5-way.

  • Turn Signal on Trailer Stops Working when Headlights are On
    The problem you are having is a classic ground issue. If the ground wire to the trailer frame or the tail light grounds are not connected securely to clean, rust and paint free surfaces then when the headlights are turned the extra amperage draw for the running lights will cause all sorts of lighting issues. I would start by removing the ground wire at the trailer coupler and cleaning up the connection point and re-securing it to the trailer frame. Next I would check the ground connection...

  • 3,500 lb Disc Brake Axle Kit Recommendation for Trailer with Drum Brakes
    Hydraulic drum brakes use much lower hydraulic pressure than disc brakes. The difference is 1,000 psi for drum compared to around 1,600 for disc. Because of this you have to switch actuators or possibly only the master cylinder if you have a common actuator. That said, if you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle the disc brake kit part # T4843300 would fit it and work well.
