This was helpful, thanks. My trailer lights have been glitchy: sometimes working and sometimes not, and after replacing the plug they now work well (at least today, time will tell), but it was good to see the steps. And if you don't mind some constructive criticism: it'd be good to see you screwing the wires into their connectors, I hadn't encountered that kind of connection before, in fact I didn't know there was such a thing, I assumed crimping and soldering were the only 2 ways that a couple wires could be connected.

Soldering ends of the wires is best practice takes more time but the connection is much more conductive. ⚡⚡⚡

@kb-zealot 21 күн бұрын

From what I understand soldering is worse in cases where the electrical system is subject to vibration, like in a car, because the connection tends to become brittle and crack over time

Wired it just like you said. Now my right blinker turns on both blinkers, and the left blinkers blink super fast. Any thoughts? I’ve quadruple checked the wiring but i must’ve made a mistake somewhere

@AntonioGadea-c8i 7 ай бұрын

there are two configurations for the 7-pin trailer plug, the SAE J2863 and the traditional RV blade connection, on the SAE the left turn is yellow, the right turn is green, the tail lights are brown, the positive is orange or red, and the center pin is reverse, black or purple. the traditional is the one in this video

Btw.... when doing this.... if you have blackened copper wire ... you should clean it ... That way you have a proper connection. Not just connect the black wire.

Lol thats fine for you to feel that way, im no pro at electrical work and wiring, What I did worked and fixed the problem and there was ZERO ISSUES AFTER COMPLETION. So your negativity and hate means nothing when what we watched in the video worked without issues, so I would say, thats a success, regardless if you can do it better or not, this was a basic video for beginners like myself at the time when i was 20 years old and made the video.

@@EssentialDIY you my man. It ain't you. I suppose it's whoever wired the hitch on the tow vehicle that decides where the trailer wiring needs to be 🤷‍♂️ If you google wiring diagrams, humor me, you'll 17,432 different variations. Lol Anyhow, I do appreciate the time you took to show what you were doing. A lot of us backyard mechanics that work on our own shit without actual training use the videos from folks like you to help us. Thank you.

Just one suggestion on the wires getting screwed to the plug put the grote flanged spade terminals on the wires then put the terminals on the plug to make it more secure. Thanks for the suggestion on using tin snips for wires to big for wire cutters.

Don’t cut the wire bundle as in this video. Simply unscrew to expose the wires that are already stripped and slide the housing unit down

Often the original plug is vacuum molded and does not come undone.

Better to start with fresh stripped wires if replacing an old plug IMO.

@devonbradford2897 Жыл бұрын

No screw with the original plug on my 2004. The only option is to cut it off. But i also like to work with freshly exposed wire on any wiring work, when time permits.
