• Troubleshooting Brake Lights Not Working On Trailer With New LED Lights
  Since you verified that the 7-way connector installed on your 2005 Nissan Frontier Diesel is working properly, and only the brake lights are not working it sounds like there is a bad ground which can cause all sorts of weird issues. If your brake lights have a ground wire to them, I recommend checking that the ground securely attached to the frame and that there is no corrosion or rust that would cause a bad connection. If the trailer has a tilt bed, folding tongue, or is aluminum running...

• Grounding Trailer Lights That are Mounted to Wood Rather than Metal
  If the lights you are using have wires coming out of the back like the Optronics Camping Travel Trailer Stop, Turn, Tail and Back-Up Light, part # RVST56, then you can simply connect an extension wire like part # DW02359-1 from the ground wire on the light to the trailer frame and ground the white wire from your trailer connector to the trailer tongue. If the lights you are using ground through the mounting hardware, then you can simply run a jumper wire from the post on the light that...

• How To Run Grounds for Lights on an Aluminum Frame Trailer
  It sounds like you may be wondering how to attach the grounds on your trailer because it has an aluminum frame which you have either read or experienced issues with. If that is the case then I recommend you first use a junction box like the Pollak 10-Terminal Junction Box part # PK52248. Once you have this you can then run all of your lights and trailer connector to a single ground point on the coupler with a ring terminal like the part # DW05762-1 (junction box to coupler) and extra wire...

• How to Create an Electrical Grounding Plate on DIY Truckbed Camper for Running Lights
  The short answer to your question is, no. You're going to be best served by running your ground wires together and grounding them at a single point on the trailer using a ring terminal like the # DW05705-1 and a junction box like # 38656. Since aluminum not is a great conductor of electricity, that wouldn't be a good choice to create your grounding plate- if you can ground it to steel instead that would be optimal. If you need wiring to run all these grounds together you can use 16 gauge...

• Left Turn Signal/Brake Light Circuit Not Working on 2005 Ford F-150 Trailer Connector
  It sounds like the problem lies somewhere between the fuse panel and the trailer connector at the rear of the truck. You can trace the wires from the back to the front, using a circuit tester to test along the way at various points to determine if there is a damaged wire that needs to be repaired. The other option is to bypass the tow package wiring and instead connect the trailer connector left turn/brake light wire directly to the 2005 Ford F-150 left turn signal/brake light wire. You...

• Running Ground Wire From Optronics Plug-N-Go Bracket On Non-Metal Trailer
  Unfortunately, the Optronics Trailer Light, part # A67CBPG is grounded through the mounting hardware which will not work on your non-metal trailer. You can use grounding wire like part # DW02359-1 and attach it to the grounding tab on the bracket and run it to the ground you had for your old lights. You need to be aware that this bracket is designed for watertight connections and running additional wires from the bracket could compromise the watertight feature.

• How To Attach Reverse Light Wiring For Putco Universal LED Tailgate Light Bar On 2017 Toyota Tundra
  The Putco Blade Universal LED Tailgate Light Bar # P92009-60 does plug into your 4-way trailer connector on your 2017 Tundra. That will take care of the stop, tail, and turn signals for the light bar. To get the backup lights working you will need to attach the White wire to the reverse light circuit on your Tundra. You can use the quick-disconnects like part # DW01899-1 and part # DW01896-1 for the reverse light wire. For 16 gauge wire you can use part # DW02359-1. This is sold by the foot.

• Tail/Running Lights Not Working on Trailer
  You will want to start out by looking at the connector on both the trailer and your tow vehicle. Make sure there is no corrosion or debris especially on the tail/running light pins. The Tail/Running Lights will be in the 1 o'clock position on your trailer (11 o'clock on the tow vehicle side). Next to check would be the grounds. Make sure they have metal to metal contact and there isn't any rust or corrosion; the surface must be clean. If that looks good then you will want to test the...

• Recommended Wire Gauge Needed to Extend Vent Fan Power Wire to Charge Controller
  To wire up your Ventline vent # VP-543SP the correct gauge wire needed is a 16 gauge like # DW02359-1. You will also want to use the 16 gauge buttconnectors like # DW05714 to connect the two wires. You definitely want this to be connected to a fused power source so if your charge controller isn't fused then on the 16 gauge wire you would want to wire in a 5amp fuse to protect the unit.

• Is Wiring Included in Bulldog Winch Dual USB Port BDW20287
  The Bulldog Winch Dual USB Port # BDW20287 does not include the wire to connect it to your trailer's electrical system but you can use 18-gauge wire in a run as long as 50-feet. If you need a longer wire run, or if you just want to ensure full current capacity, then use 16-gauge wire. For 16-gauge black wire use part # 16-1-1; for white use part # DW02359-1. Both are sold by the foot.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights on Right Side Not Working
  If the running lights on your right (or passenger) side are working, but they are working for the other side then this indicates that you either have a short, some damaged wiring, or your running light (or just the bulb) on the left side needs to be replaced. Since trailer running lights on both sides use the same wiring you know that your trailer is getting the power because one side is lighting up. Start at your trailer plug and work your way back to your running light on the right...

• Why Do Trailer Lights Flicker When Hitting Bumps
  In order to fix the issue with your lights flickering you will want to pick a good spot on the trailer frame near the coupler and then run a ground wire from each of the lights as well as the trailer connector to this point. If you need to extend the wires you can use part # DW02359-1 and part # DW05744-5. Once you find a good ground point, sand the surface down, twist the wires together after you have removed part of the jacket, and then attach it to the sanded surface with part # DW05741-1...

• Looking For Standard Wiring To Get My Trailer Fixed Up
  It will kind of depend on your definition of standard as there are a lot of different wires out there for different uses. However, if you just needed single jacket wire, the Primary Wire - 16-Gauge # DW02359-1 is what you are looking for. This, as with the other option below, is sold by the foot and is rated for 50 volts or less. If you were looking for something with more than one wire though, the Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 will be the better option. All 4 of the wires are also 16 gauge...

• Right Tail Light Not Working on Trailer With New Light and 7-Way Connector
  If the right tail light on your trailer is working properly when you connect it to an alternate source of power at the 7-Way, and you have verified that the ground is secure and has a clean, metal-to-metal contact, then the problem is most likely on your truck. Check to see if there is any rust, corrosion, or debris in the connection itself. Clean the connector if there was any and use some Dielectric Grease # 11755 for a strong connection and to help prevent corrosion and moisture affecting...

• Tekonsha Prodigy RF Turns Off and On When Turn Signal is Used
  I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and the problem that you are experiencing is most likely caused by faulty wiring on your trailer. The (discontinued) Tekonsha Prodigy RF 90250 works by activating the brakes when there is a signal on both the Left Turn/Brake and Right Turn/Brake wiring functions. If your turn signal is causing the RF to act up then you will want to do some tests to see where the wiring problem is. Check to make sure that the ground on both your tow vehicle and your...

• Wire Size Used to Install MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/12V Fan & Thermostat MA00-05100K
  The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Manual Lift - 10 Speed - White Item # MA00-05100K only requires 12 volt, 5 amp power to operate so based on this 12 gauge wire would be overkill but 16 gauge such as # DW02359-1 sold by the foot is more ideal.

• Availability of Black and White 16 Gauge Wire
  In 16 gauge wire we only carry two colors by the foot. We have the black wire part # 16-1-1 or we have the white part # DW02359-1. In 10 gauge we only have the wire in red like part # DW02508-1 or blue like part # 10-1-1 but I think what you'd really be best served with is the 7-way upgrade kit part # e99011 which comes with a 7-way and junction box and then for the wiring to run from the box to the trailer wiring you'd want the # DW04914-1 which is sold by the foot and uses the standard...

• Replacement 4-Way Trailer Connector and Ground Wire
  The white wire on a 4-way trailer connector is usually for the ground. The reason your lights are not working is because this connection is severed. If you cannot re-attach the wire using a butt connector like part # DW05744-5 then you can replace the 4-way with part # HM48192. If a new ground wire needs to be ran you can use part # DW02359-1 (per foot), part # DW05737-1, and part # FA1131822. The ring terminal will need to be attached to a bare metal surface free of paint. I have attached...

• Splicing Two 3040-P Brake Controller Wiring Adapters Together to Reach Brake Controller
  All you'll need to do is get a length of 16 gauge primary wire, part # DW02359-1 (sold by the foot) and use a butt connector like # DW05744-5 and a ring connector like # DW05737-1. Simply cut the white wire with the ring terminal and use butt connectors to splice in the length of wire. You'll also need butt connectors to connect the two # 3040-P wiring adapters together. The blue and black wires are 12 gauge and the red and white wires are 16 gauge. You'll have extra connectors from the...

• Tapping Into Vehicle Fuse Box To Install A Backup Camera System Without Splicing Factory Wires
  To wire a backup camera into your vehicle so that it only comes on when in reverse, will require tapping into your reverse function wiring. Without knowing your specific vehicle, I can't tell you the specific fuse location but your owners manual will be able to help you. If you choose to use this as your power source, I recommend you use the Firestone Fuse Circuit Tap Kit # F2526 and run wire like the 16 gauge # DW02359-1 to the camera wire. Another method of installation requires splicing...

• Converting a 3-Way Northland Truck Camper Wiring Harness to a 4-Way Flat
  What you can do is to use the Quick FixTM 4 Pole Flat Car and Trailer Ends, # 48195, and not use one of the pins since you only have three wires that need to be connected. You can then use the wire you need inside of them as needed. The wires that run to the battery are most likely 10 gauge like # 10-1-1. The remaining wire is probably a 16 gauge like # DW02359-1.

• Replacing 2 Wire Marker Lights With Single Wire Marker Lights
  On lights similar to the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB1 that will only have 1 wire pigtail this is the positive power wire. The light requires mounting to a grounded metal surface that will provide you the ground connection. If you are not able to attach it to a grounded metal surface you can also use a jumper Wire # DW02359-1 with a Ring Terminal # DW05737-1 to attach to your existing wiring or a nearby grounded surface. There are some lights similar...
