Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the 12 Gauge Black Primary Wire

Today we're going to review and install the Deka 12-gauge black primary wire, part number 12-1-1. It meets the SAE J 1128 specification, has a nice thermal plastic cover, and inside are copper leads. Here we can see the nice copper strands. They're good and durable, don't break easily. After I strap back, they can be twisted together, then routed or connected as needed. Our 12-gauge wire can handle up to 50 volts and has a max temperature of 176 degrees Fahrenheit.

It has many uses. Some typical uses will be wiring on trailers, general connections or wiring repairs. Now for this application we're going to add some 12-gauge wire, slide it into the butt connector, crimp it down. We're going to go ahead and wrap it up with some black electrical tape to help keep it clean from dirt, dust, debris, and moisture. That will do it for the review and install of the Deka 12-gauge black primary wire, part number 12-1-1.

  • Parts Needed For Installing Electric Trailer Brakes Onto a Trition UT16 Tandem Axle Utility Trailer
    It would appear your Trition UT16 utility trailer will have axles using the standard #84 spindle dimensions. You will want to verify this is what you have by disassembling one of the hubs and measuring the spindle, see image below. The spindle will be 1.063" in diameter for the outer bearing, 1.378" in diameter for the inner bearing and 1.719 in diameter for the grease seal. You will also need to measure the mounting holes for the brake flanges. The mounting holes should be spread 2-13/16"...

  • Wiring Needed For Electric Trailer Brakes On a 7,000LB Car Hauler Trailer
    For the brake wire on your 7,000lb car hauler you will want to use a 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1 for the power wire. The ground wire can either be grounded to the frame or you can use the Jacketed 2 Wire # 12-2-1 if you are not using the frame as a ground. I have included a chart below that has the suggested wiring sizes needed for a 7-way trailer harness. This wiring will need to connect to your 7-Way Junction Box # HS381-9000 and Breakaway Kit # 20400.

  • 7-Way Trailer Plug With Wires For Connecting to Lights & Brakes
    Hi Dan, and I believe you are looking for a 7-way with the wires connected such as the 4 foot long Hopkins 7-Way # H20043, 8 foot long # H20046, or 11 foot long # HM20048. These have the plugs as well as wire leads that go to your junction box, though if you don't have a junction box you can also get that with part # 3375601101. The actual wire itself is something you have to get separate, depending on the length you need. You order it by the foot: 16 gauge # 16-1-1, 14 gauge, # DW02422-1,...

  • Tips For Finding Cold Side of Stop Light Switch Wire on 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Unfortunately I do not have a video of finding the coldside of the stop light switch on your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you'll just need to keep testing the wires going to the stop light switch with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 until you find the one that only gets power when you press the brake pedal. I don't know which circuit tester you're using but the one with the hook makes it much easier to test those stupid small wires that the OEMs like to use for the brake light switch,...

  • Converting a 1995 Jayco Eagle 12 UDK To Use Electric Trailer Brakes
    First you will need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-47-48 to replace your hydraulic assemblies. We have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3 to get you a 4 on 4 mounting pattern. You will need to disassemble one of your hubs to verify it will fit the new hub as your axle is produced before they maintained records for their axles. This hub uses inner and outer Bearing # L44649 which is 1.063" inner diameter. For the wiring you will go from the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style...

  • Parts Needed For Wiring Electric Trailer Brakes On a 2018 Tandem Axle Trailer
    You will need a Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box # HS381-9000 if you do not already have a 7-way on the front of your Trailer. This will then tie into a Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802308 before going to the brakes themselves. You will need 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1(sold by the foot) to run to the trailer brakes(see diagram). Connectors # DW05745-1 and Ring Terminals # 44-5310A are needed to terminate the brake wires at the drums. I have linked our article...

  • Recommended Axle Setup For a 5 X 8 Off-Road Trailer With Jeep Wheels
    I recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR1THDS03. This system has a upgraded spindle designed for additional strength. It includes a 4" lift spindle for additional ground clearance and will place your hub face for your Jeep wheels 8-1/2" from the frame and the axle centerline 9-5/8" below the bottom of the frame. If this is not far away enough for your Jeep wheels and tires you will need to then use some wheel spacers to push the wheels out further. The Electric...

  • Adding A Third Brake Light To The Truck Cap On A 2021 Chevy Silverado
    The easiest way to get the signal for a third brake light on your truck cap is going to be by tapping into the 7-way.Using a 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 you'll tap into the left and right turn signals of the 7-way with the yellow wires and use the green wire to power the third brake light. The logic module will keep the third brake light from flashing when you apply your turn signals just like a converter. You'll need some extra wire # 12-1-1 and heat shrink butt connectors...

    Hey Victor, thanks for reaching out! To replace the power wiring that comes with the Tekonsha T-One # 118548 wiring kit for your 2018 Ford Focus you need the following: - 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot) - In-Line Fuse Holder # C58470-1 - 10 Amp Fuse (found in kit # PT52FR) - Connectors # DW05745-5 and # 44-5356A You can probably find a kit at your local hardware/home improvement store that includes the 10 Amp fuse and connectors and unfortunately there isn't a whole kit...

  • Replacement Trailer Brakes For 2000 Damon Camplite Pop-Up Camper With AL-KO 8440 7" Drum Brakes
    Your AL-KO 8440 drum tells me you have a 7" brake drum with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This will need 4 of the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K if you are needing to replace the drums themselves. For the brake assemblies you will need 2 of the Brake Kits # AKEBRK-2. We do have the Mounting Hardware # BRKH7 for the brake assemblies as your hardware may not be in the best condition with the age of the 2000 Damon Camplite pop up camper. We have 12 Gauge Wire...

It's pretty easy to do actually. The link is down below the product links. The P3 comes with a pigtail wiring harness to allow you to splice into the under-dash vehicle wiring. You will also need enough 12-gauge blue wire, part # 12-1-1, to reach from the brake controller to your 7-way vehicle connector. In the engine compartment...

  • How to Power an Electric Winch on a Trailer Pulled By a 2017 Subaru Forester
    You do have a few options to get an electric winch, like the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm # TW4015, working, but the 4 Flat will not be able to do so alone. The first will be to add a battery to the trailer. This will usually be my suggestion, but as you do not have brakes on the trailer and it is for a boat trailer, it will not be the best way to go. What I suggest doing is upping your 4 Flat to a 5 Round, both on the trailer and vehicle. The Pollak 5-Pole # PK11502 for the vehicle side,...

  • Trouble Locating Green Wire To Connect To 12 Gauge Blue Wire In Tekonsha 7-Way Harness
    For the 12 gauge blue wire connection you will not have to remove the liner completely. You will only need to remove enough of the screws to allow you to be able to find the connector inside the fender well. Many have trouble finding this connection and if you wish you can actually run the wire another way. The wire is simply the factory brake output. A simpler way of running the wire would be to run it into the vehicle and connect it to the blue wire on the brake controller harness....

  • How to Install LED Trailer Light that Grounds Through Mounting Hardware on Aluminum Trailer
    Since the Dragon's Eye LED Clearance Light # DG52505VP that you referenced grounds through its mounting hardware you will want to actually add a ground wire with some 12 gauge wire like # 12-1-1. You will need to attach the wire at one end to the light's mounting bolt and run it up to the main ground circuit at the trailer connector. Aluminum doesn't conduct electricity very well so mounting this light directly to the frame without adding a ground wire will likely result in intermittent...

  • How To Wire etrailer Electric A-Frame Jack With Footplate To 2004 Jayco Jay Flight Travel Trailer
    The etrailer Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-WBX only has one power wire coming out of the jack. It gets its ground connection through the mounting plate which is grounded to the trailer. You can run the power wire to the coach battery on your 2004 Jayco Jay Flight and attach it to the 12 volt positive terminal. If you do not have a terminal to attach the wire a Ring Terminal # DW05705-1 will give you a 3/8" inner diameter ring to attach to the battery post. The coach battery should...

  • Can 12 Volt Circuit on Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter HM47053 be Used to Charge Toad Battery
    Yes! You can provide a maintenance charge to the toad's battery through terminal A (the 12 volt circuit) using Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47053. You would just need to attach one end of a wire, # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot), to the back of the 6-Way on the toad and the other end to the positive terminal on the toad batter.

  • Wiring Installation for Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on 2017 Chevy Silverado
    If you are using the blunt cut wires on the harness that comes with the P3 # 90195 then you will want to use a 30 amp circuit breaker # PK54230 for the black hot lead coming from your battery to your brake controller. You can use # 12-1-1 wire sold by the foot for that connection. If you will be hardwiring this controller to a 7-way, I recommend kit # 5506. Because you stated you have a 2017 Silverado, I recommend instead using the custom wiring harness # 3016 which will be a plug and...

    You will be able to use the 6 To 7-Way Adapter, part # 47435, to match the RV and trailer plugs, and you will also need to run a Blue brake controller output wire from the brake controller to the rear trailer connector. However there is another way to connect your trailer wiring that would eliminate the need for the # 47435 adapter. What you can do, is check to see if there is a 4-way connector connected to your 6-way. If there is not a 4-way connected to the 6-Way, you can just cut the...

  • What All is Needed to Add an EZ Connector to a 2012 Expedition and Trailer?
    Switching over to the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way # 319-R7-01 will lose the 4 flat connection. However, I do have a couple solutions for you. First will be the Trailer Connector Adapter # 319-R7-54. This will adapt a standard 4 flat to work with the # 319-R7-01. If you preferred to keep a 4 flat plug, it will be a little more complicated, but not overly so. To do this, you will need to splice a 4 flat, like the Curt # C58345, either into the # 319-R7-01 at some point, or where the #...

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a Trailer
    So you have added a 7-Way trailer connector to your truck and now you want to add one to the trailer. There are a couple of options that you could employ. First, you could just use a 7-Way trailer connector only such as # PK12706, no wiring, and attach the wires from the old connector and the new wires as needed. Or you could use one that has a wire lead coming out of the back of it such as # H20043 (wire functions listed on its product page). You could also use # HS381-9000 which comes...
