STILL WORKING GREAT NO ISSUES

Perfect finish to installing a water tight LED light kit on my PWC trailer. These are of good quality and I had plenty to spare.

Still water tight and working, would buy again.



by:

Just upgraded to a 2016 Odyssey and need to tow my camper.
Purchased the OEM hitch and OEM custom harness (from car to 4 pin on hitch. OEM Hitch comes with nice beefy flange where the 4 pin connector mounts. But I needed a 7 pin for electric brakes and bought this ETBC7 kit to do the job.

I ended up cutting a custom hole in the bumper cover and figuring a way to mount the bracket in this kit directly to the OEM hitch. Wanted to share photos of the install for anyone else in the same boat. Advantage of my install is that the 7 pin is mounted above the bracket, protecting it from injury from low clearance obstacles on the road. One Con, is I had to mount it upside down so it didn't interfere with the metal bumper under the bumper cover.

One issue I remember is that the Ground wire on the 7 pin harness didn't come close to reaching an available frame member, at the side of the car. I had to cut off the ring lug and extend it out to the edge of the car to complete the install. But it is done now!

Exactly what I needed to rewire a 20-year-old trailer that was starting to show it's age with inconsistent lighting performance and continuity issues. In addition to purchasing this lighting harness, I upgraded all my incandescent bulb side markers and taillights with LED units and complete rewired the trailer. etrailer had everything I needed in one place with excellent pricing and superb service. Everything is working great and I love the brightness and visibility of the LED lights.



by:

I had trailer light problems (who hasn't?) and found etrailer on the web. The site was extremely well organized and made it easy to find what I was looking for.
I had a question regarding the kind of wire connector needed. It was answered promptly by E-mail.
The lights and connectors arrived as promised and the installation was straightforward thanks to the videos on the site.

Haven't rewired the trailer yet, but the items ordered arrived quickly and the order was accurate. Great prices and service!

Great! I dont use the bot very much, but all the lights still work!!!!



by:

Being a new boat owner I was quickly overwhelmed by what I didn't know. Re-wiring, re-lighting my trailer was my first project. etrailer has a wide range of products, but most important to me, was their added product information and instructional information which helped me make the right selections to get this done. Add to that is their very competitive prices. etrailer will be my go to source for my future trailer needs.



by:

I would like to really thank the team at etrailer for making my order correct. George, Amy and Carol all worked well with communication with me when there was a small issue with the amount of connectors I ordered. They made things right and I have nothing but appreciation for their work and attention to detail to help me out. Thank you again and I will be doing business again!! A+



by:

Just received my order of new backing plate assemblies and some misc small parts. Ordered on line late Sunday night, confirmed I had ordered the right parts Monday morning before shipment went out. Customer service by phone was superb and the gal I talked with was perfect. Shipment was on my porch Friday afternoon. I did open box and inspect shipment that arrived completely intact/good shape and all looked good at this point. Not sure when will get to the brakes on the trailer but will post again when the job is done. So far nothing but good to say about Etrailer.com. Regards, John.



by:

I really like the idea of any outdoor wiring connector that has self-sealing heat shrink. I don’t agree with the suggestion of using a lighter to activate the heat shrink—use a proper heat gun designed for this.



by:

I have to say it's an absolute pleasure dealing with etrailer. Not only did my package arrive on time as promised but the experience of dealing with the people at etrailer such as Tommy and Dani made it that much more of fun experience. There was not a problem with answering my questions if they did not know the answer they found out the answer and got back in touch with me. Their prices are great their products are good quality and there's so many good things to say about the company that I could go on and on. Keep up the good work and I will be doing all my trailer business with etrailer. Just check out their website and see how much more they have to offer.

Good product but, too small for brake wiring. You did not have the right size.

We recommend 10 or 12 gauge wiring for trailer brakes. The Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation part DW05745-5 will work well for you.



by:

Products very good. Installed easily. Look good and work well. Only problem was shrink tubing way too small to fit over connectors. Otherwise everything fine. No biggie. !!



by:

I used these on one of my trailers the day I got them. They worked great!



by:

couldn't use the wire connectors, to small for the wires on truck and trailer wiring harness. The trailer hitch fit good and the wiring harness was as advertised. No problem installing either of them



by:

Order was complete and delivered in a timely manner. Only problem (minor) was the 7way pigtail was not wired to color code. Had to use test light to get 3 of the wires in correct location. Could be a problem if someone wasn't comfortable with ringing out wires.



by:

I was very pleased with my brake shoes. The installation went smoothly. The packaging could have been better. The box arrived in a beat up condition, but the contents were okay.



by:

These butt connectors work like you expect them to and at a great price!



by:

Used these with shrink tubing on my trailer re-wire last year... not a single problem since.



by:

Great product. Fit my trailer tail lights perfectly.



by:

etrailer did an exceptional job in processing and shipping my order out complete - ahead of projected delivery - hats off to everyone at etrailer - it is a team effort. Thank you for the great experience and I'll check with etrialer on any future needs...…



by:

Held up well through winter #1 on my snowmobile trailer!



by:

Item was exactly as ordered and of high quality. I had a question as to which of two wiring connections I needed for the lights I purchased. My questioning email was answered immediately and correctly. Good customer service.

Worked ok, found it hard to crimp, then again it could’ve been me. Yeah

They work as advertised...very nice for those under trailer connections...:)

  • Weathertight Wiring Plug and Stainless Steel Bracket for 4 GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light
    There are 2 different possible connectors you can use for the wiring when it comes to the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL101RMB; the 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PMB which installs using splicing, and the Three-Wire Straight Pigtail # AL45PWTB which connects to the industry standard 3-way connector for lights. Please note that if you will be using the splicing method then you want to use heat shrink butt connectors like what comes with the kit # DW05743-10 as they will be much more effective. When...

  • Can a 4-Way Flat Harness With Full Length Ground Wires Be Used In Place Of Grounding To Frame?
    Yes, you can use a 25 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A25W2GWB with a full length ground wire to ground your Tail Lights. You will not have to ground either the harness or the lights to the frame on your aluminum trailer. I recommend using Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10 for your wire splices. This will help to protect the wiring from corrosion issues at the connections.

    We don't offer a plug and play trailer harness that would plug directly into the Peterson # 435800 trailer taillight. The lamp includes a 3 pin pigtail that would plug into the rear of the lamp which would wire directly into the trailer wiring. If you need a 4 pole harness for your trailer, we offer them in varying lengths. • For a 20 foot harness, use part # A20WB • For a 25 foot harness, use # A25W2GWB • For a 30 foot harness, use # HM48265 • For a 35 foot harness, use # A35W42B To...

  • Best Connector for Installing the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire
    The best connector type to use with the 40' 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire # SWC77FR are the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10. You'll insert the ends of the wires into the butt connector, crimp it down, and then use a heat gun or a small flame to shrink the casing around the wires. This gives you a solid connection that is safe from being exposed to the elements.

    In my experience the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS43TASF has always fully plugged into the connector so you may have have debris inside of it preventing it from fully connecting. If you can't get it out then you can replace the connector with the one from part # FRCBRKT-BL. Simply remove the mount and pull the wiring out from the trailer and cut it and splice in the new connector with some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05743-10. One other thing I want to...

  • How Do I Wire LED Flood Lights on My Camper to Use When Backing Up?
    Another option than running the LED light to the battery is by running the wiring to the running lights. Although, this can be just as difficult as running it to the battery. The best route is to run the wiring to the reverse lights. However, if you go this route, you must go without a switch option. The only way to use a switch is to go directly to the battery. If you need extra wiring for the application, I recommend using the 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Parallel Conductor Wire - per Foot...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Installation Location at the Back of a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
    Some Nissan vehicles came with that 8-pin connector rather than a 6-pin like most others. There isn't a plug-in harness or adapter for Nissan vehicles with the 8-pin connector, such as your 2008 Pathfinder, but there is an option for you. First, and what I recommend, is to use the harness you have, # 118267, but cut off the vehicle and harness side connectors and hardwire them together based on function. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter such as # PT89ZR to test the wires...

    We do have an option for you, though the matching driver's side of the Aero Pro Trailer Tail Light - Submersible - Passenger Side ST66RPG has been discontinued and is no longer available. What I highly recommend instead is the Optronics Trailer Tail Light - Driver Side # ST17RB and Passenger Side # ST16RB because these are 3-wire, submersible, incandescent lights like the ones you asked about so they will work as perfect replacements.

  • Is Heat Shrink Tubing Included in Deka Butt Connector DW05743-10
    The Deka 22-18-gauge butt connector 10-pack, part # DW05743-10, already has built-in heat shrink tubing on the connectors so it is not necessary to add it. If you want to add an additional layer of protection from moisture and other contaminants you can apply Deka Self-Fusing Auto Tape # DW04367 around the entire connector after you have applied heat to the heat-shrink tubing.

  • How Are Trailer Tail Lights Wired
    It sounds like you are trying to install trailer lights on your 2000 Ford F-150? This is not something I recommend doing and you should stick with automotive lights, but if you do decide to do it, trailer lights will need to splice into wires on your truck so you need to find the wires in your Ford that accompany each function by using a circuit tester such as # PTW2979. You will then need to connect those wires to the wires on the trailer light. For example, the Fusion LED Trailer Tail...

For the 20-18 gauge wires this will be Item # DW05743-10 and for the 12-10 gauge wires it will be Item # DW05745-10.

  • Wire Connector Recommendation for 20 Gauge Wire on Trailer
    For a 20 gauge wire I would not recommend the use of a quick splice connector. The core of the wire would be too thin for it to work well. You would most likely end up cutting the core of the wire when tightening it. I would recommend soldering as the best solution and then beyond that butt connectors like the part # DW05743-10 would be the next best solution.

  • Gauge of Butt Connector to Use with Wesbar Submersible Trailer Light
    The Wesbar Submersible Trailer Light # 403076 uses 18 gauge wires so you'll need # DW05743-10 for heat shrink butt connectors. If you'd rather not use the heat shrinking type we have # 05730-5 as well. Heat shrink butt connectors are much better at keeping out moisture.
