• Installation By Wire Color & Function On Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller In 2014 Chevy Tahoe
  On your 2014 Chevy Tahoe, there is no plug present under the dash, but the wires are already run. You will connect your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 to these wires which are bundled under your steering column to the left of your brake pedal. These wires are normally bundled with white tape. I recommend using butt connectors like # 05731-5. There are 4 wires in your truck (a white wire, a blue with white tracer, a red with black tracer, and a dark blue wire) and four...

• How to Wire Wesbar 7-Function LED Wrap-Around Tail Light 271594
  Thank you for your photo. On your trailer's original lights the connector's exposed pin is the ground while on your replacement light # 271594 the ground is on the white wire as you noted. For these new lights the red wire carries stop/turn signals while the black wire carries running light signal. You can use butt connectors like # 05731-5 to make your wire splices and we recommend also applying electrical tape over those splices to protect them.

• Installing a Pilot Brake Controller in a 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty with Cut Wires Under the Dash
  If equipped with a factory 7-way trailer connector, your 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup should have a grey plug hanging down near the OBD-II diagnostics port under the dash. This plug allows connection of a brake controller. It may be necessary to remove a trim panel to gain access to the brake controller plug. If it is not readily visible, you may need to check further inside of the dash, reaching through the sheet metal and into the area behind the center console. Please refer to...

• Recommended Wiring Connectors for 14 to 16 Gauge Wires to Protect From Weather
  I have a solution for you, but the # 05731-5 are not heat shrink style butt connectors, so heating them isn't going to provide any protection. Instead I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Blue - Qty 5 # DW05744-5, which can be heated up to provide some insulation from the elements. This would be the best solution it sounds like and would be my recommendation.

• What Size Butt Connectors Are Needed for the Lippert Flow Max Fluid Pump?
  It's going to depend on how far you are needing to run your wires as the farther you run your wires you're going to get a power drop. If you're planning on running the wires no more than 25' which is what I assume, then you'd to use at least 16 gauge wire and would need the 16-14 Gauge Butt Connector # 05731-5. If you're looking to run the wire farther than 70', you'd need to beef your wire to at least 12 gauge and would then need # DW05745-5.

• What is Included with 4-Pole Hardwire Kit Including Circuit Tester # 18252
  The 4-Pole hardwire wiring kit # 18252 comes with the 4-Way itself, a circuit tester, and quick splice connectors so nothing else is required unless you wanted to upgrade the connections and add additional protection. If you want a better connection then I recommend using butt connectors # 05731-5 and then sealing the connections up in shrink tubing. Putting some dielectric grease # 11755 will help protect the electrical connections from corrosion and moisture.

• Alternate Wire Routing For T-One Harness On 2012 Mazda CX-9
  I have attached a link to an installation video on a 2012 Mazda CX-9 like you own. When all of the access to the tail lights is done in the rear cargo area, it can be difficult to find a place that allows you to run the 4-way connector on the T-One Harness, part # 118520. As they show in the video, when the T-one harness is not being used, you can just roll it up and stow it out of the way in your rear cargo area. This protects it from being damaged and also from corrosion. If you choose...

• Brake Controller Wiring Harness to Instal Draw-Tite Activator # 5500 in 2014 Ram 1500
  The Brake Controller Wiring Adapter you referenced, part # 3023-P is indeed the correct connector for installing a brake controller in your 2014 Ram 1500. One end of the harness will plug into the rear of your controller, the two connectors on the other end will plug in under the dash as shown in the install video I have linked you to. If your Draw-Tite Activator is an older model that has bare wire leads exiting the back of the controller (no plug), then you would cut off the BLACK (not...

• How to Make the Wiring Connections of the Replacement Switch # LG-145236
  To make the wire connections to install the Replacement Switch # LG-145236 that you referenced you have a few options. The most recommended method would be to solder the connections and then wrap the connections with electrical tape. Next we have butt end connectors like the # 05731-5. Finally, some use twist connectors which we don't carry. They aren't recommended so I wouldn't use them anyway but I figured I'd give you all the options that are out there.

• Replacing 4-Way Plug on Trailer Wishbone Harness with 5 Wires
  You can indeed connect a standard 4-Way plug like the Hopkins # HMC20031 to the 5-wire wishbone harness on your boat trailer. A wishbone harness uses a separate running lights wire for each side of the trailer (instead of having to run a jumper wire across at the rear). To connect the wiring to the new 4-Way you will just need to connect the 2 running lights wires together (which should both be brown but you will want to test them to be sure) using a butt-connector like # 05731-5. You...

• Recommendation to Replace Trailer 5-Way That Has 9 Wires
  It sounds like the current 5-Way connector on your trailer has a type of wishbone wiring design, which uses separate wires for the signal lights on both sides of the trailer. Most likely yours has a separate wire going down each side of the trailer for the running lights, brake lights, and reverse light functions. I highly recommend following the wiring from the connector on your trailer and testing them for function to verify this. We do not have any 5-Way connectors available with a...

• Can I Remove the Blue Locking Keeper on the Pollak 7-Way
  I have a solution but no there is no way to remove the blue locking ring in the Pollak 7-Way item # PK11932. I recommend cutting the red and brown wires behind the connector and splicing the correct ones together using 16-14 Gauge Butt Connectors item # 05731-5 then taping them up. There is no way to remove the blue locking keeper without damaging the entire connector. That keeper attaches to each pin individually.

• How To Add 4-Way Trailer Connector On Trailer With 5 Wires
  I would be happy to help walk you through how to install a 4-way connector on your trailer. Since your trailer has two green wires going down the right side of the trailer, that tells me that one of the wires is powering your running lights. The easiest way to test which of the wires is for the running lights, connect the white ground wire and one of the green wires to a 12v battery and see what lights come on. To install a 4-way trailer connector like the # W787264 you will need to connect...

• Wiring Installation For The Jensen JWM40/JWM41 RV Stereo
  The Jensen RV Stereo # JWM40 is the same thing as the JWM41, just different item codes on our end. Most likely you will use every wire from the wiring harness, but for any wires that you don't use you can either leave them alone or use some electrical tape to cap them off. These wires will not put off anything that could potentially zap you or burn down your RV so there's no need to worry. I've attached the wiring diagram below which will tell you the function of each wire based on their...

• Replacement For A Flow Max DS-01230-M2 12v RV Fresh Water Pump
  Yes, the Flow Max DS-01230-M2 is a 12v water pump with a 3.0 GPM and 50 psi rating so the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump # LC689052 would be an equivalent replacement. When you go to replace the pump you'll want to have some towels ready unless you've blown out the lines since there's typically a bit of water still inside the pump that will leak out once you unscrew the connections. You'll also want to pick up some butt connectors # 05731-5 for a secure connection when hooking up the wiring.

• Can 3-Wire ThinLine LED Trailer Tail Light Replace 2-Wire Light
  You can absolutely replace your 2-wire light with the 3-wire ThinLine LED Trailer Tail Light # STL63RB. The white wire on the ThinLine is for ground, the black wire is for power and the red wire is the stop and turn signals. So all you need to do is splice the wires coming off the light to the appropriate circuits/wires on your trailer, which you can do with the Butt Connectors # 05731-5.

• Routing a Trailer Wiring 4-Way through the Cargo Area of a Hyundai Santa Fe and Outside the Vehicle
  If you are unable to find a hole or grommet large enough for the 4-Way flat to fit through, you are left with 3 options. First, you can just leave the harness inside the vehicle and pull it out through the rear hatch as described in the instructions. Or, you could also drill out a hole using a 2 inch hole saw. You will need to provide your own grommet or otherwise seal up the hole after you route the trailer wiring through. The third option is to use an extension like # HM47115. You can...

• How to Make Wiring Connections for Wiring Up Trailer Lights
  If you are trying to run new wire to the taillight assemblies you do have a number of options, butt-end connectors are one way to go. I have had great luck using them as long as you really clamp down and them and wrap electrical tape around the connection point. The part # 05731-5 would work great for this. Another option that most will steer you towards is soldering. This will give you a more solid connection when done correctly.
