Equipment trailer build part 4 Wiring How to wire an equipment trailer

[@evanlittrellsr.616]

Two things that I did on my trailer. I put tails that have reverse on them, for me, it makes a big difference if I'm backing at night to help me see. Secondly, I put relays so that my clearance/marker lights also work as turn indicators, which helps when you are trying to change lanes if you have traffic in the lanes next to you. Just food for thought.

[@richardlefrancois7886]

Another KZbinr, Andrew Camarata used the same type of lights on his trailer build. He did add a plate to cover the 3 marker lights on the rear end, he drags the trailer thru the dirt from time to time. I liked the conduit idea for a wire chase, with all the splicing it would be cut up.

[@GCFD]

Yes I thought about adding a skid plate like andrew camarata did on his equipment trailer but I'm hoping to get by without it. We shall see!

[@johnbourgeois1414]

I’ve built a few trailers in my 71 years and rebuilt and re-wired many every older factory trailer I re-wired that had washers welded that way had had obvious shorts and had been taped up when I got to them. I always grounded the lights near where they were mounted so if something happened to the single ground wire you wouldn’t loose every light. As to the trailer brakes I always used 10 gauge wire to cut down on heat in the mountains

[@THEscgman]

Thank you for the thorough video as you mentioned, there’s not many that follow things through the actual wiring job. Bravo, well done!

[@Insulators]

Excellent wiring tutorial, can’t wait for part 5 breaking the bank at the lumber yard.

[@GCFD]

Yep! It's on the way!

[@trailermonkey8687]

I have a new-to-me equipment trailer that's a typical wiring wreck. So I returned to your excellent video for a quick refresher on how to best do it. After watching this again and comparing my shopping list to yours I realized that you may have omitted passive / reflective material in your light plan. I'm pretty sure the multi function tail lights include some reflective material but I think that's all. Can you see your trailer in the dark with a flash light or car head lights from the sides or the front? You might consider adding some 3M amber and red stickers or the good old Silver and red Conspicuity Trailer DOT-C2 Reflective Safety Tape tape so it can be seen when parked. Thanks again for the great trailer build series, it's been very educational!

[@GCFD]

Thanks for watching! I did add the tape in Part 5 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2PbfattrMqXapo

[@faapilot]

[@GCFD]

Thank you!

[@ryanschilmiller2658]

This video help me understand how to wire up my car hauler trailer which was hard for me because I have no wiring experience whatsoever. Thank you!!

[@dylantrinder1571]

Shawn, as an ex aircraft engineer I’m concerned that your wiring will chafe. Can you get some rubber grommets or at least protect the wire from rubbing on the bare metal/washers? Great job otherwise as usual.

[@schpenxel]

Same. That’s what I came to say. Some rubber grommets or something protecting the wire going through all the metal holes would be a good idea IMO

[@SlackerU]

I'd like to see some UV-resistant electrical-pvc covering all that wire instead of the usual split wire loom corrugated tubing.

[@GCFD]

I was wondering about that Dylan. But my other trailers haven't had any issues. I think the wire is lightweight enough that there's not enough force to chafe or rub through against the washers.

[@bigshafe]

@@GCFD it's not the weight that matters but the vibration that causes relative motion between the two.

[@nachtdiertje1972]

Personally, I would have chosen to use cable or conduit and not only wire. OK, the colors are not matching up with cable, but the wires are more protected and less chance of getting hooked. And of course, like @Dylan Trinder said, use grommets or cable glands to feed your wire through.

[@ravneiv]

Did you check the fall of the wires to make sure the electricity will flow well?

[@GCFD]

Full bubble!

[@lou_ann90]

🤣🤣🤣

[@StuartWoodwardJP]

If I’m not mistaken, in electrical terms, fall is voltage, resistance is how clogged your wires are and current is the amount of flow coming out of the pipe. Sump pumps are batteries, catch-basins are capacitors, corrugated pipes are resistors and PVC pipes are superconductors …

[@cheskydivision]

This reminds be of the time my bf and our crew of friends that always worked on cars re wired one of those vehicles all with light blue wire. It's all they had. They have at time questioned that decision. Oh the glorious 1980's.

[@GCFD]

👍

[@erikalmighty]

I’m at this stage in a trailer rebuild and this video was helpful. Thanks!

[@richardmassoth8237]

I second the point about running bare wires through holes drilled in metal, including washers. You really need grommets or some type of wire loom to run through the washers and holes in the metal. I also think that the trailer brakes should have been put on a separate ground run to the breakout/junction box. Otherwise, this is a great job and teaching video. Thanks!

[@GCFD]

Thanks Richard!

[@lesleymunro4964]

Yes I agree too. You can get grommet strip, which you can cut to size, to install into the holes, and just gives a bit of protection from rubbing. Something like this - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122727165568?hash=item1c931bee80:g:9S4AAOSw3atZzsKh Another thing that can be handy to help keep cables tidy, is adhesive cable clips, it might have been handy with the clearance light cables, just to keep them tucked up in place. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173933021203?hash=item287f374813:g:azAAAOSwG1xdA2ur

[@bloggs4214]

Can use a piece of silicone hose also. Cut about 2” long and split along length and wrap around wire and feed through hole then cable tie both sides to prevent it moving out of hole.

[@bloggs4214]

There’s several ways it can be done.

[@Rubbernecker]

Nice job! Those heat shrink connectors are the best. I use them on my boats, and cover them with another layer of adhesive lined heat shrink tubing.

[@GCFD]

I like the too. How are yours holding up?

[@alejandrocisneros6461]

Pretty sure rear facing clearance lights are Red and front facing clearance lights are orange? Either way, trailer is coming out great. With the yellow they’ll see you coming more than a mile away!

Pretty Smart guy. I mean it. Did a fine job on that trailer. Like the yellow, almost the same yellow the railroad uses on their Utility Equipment. Must make you feel good that not only did you degree in Biology. You run your own company and pretty astute mechanic and welder. Say's a lot about your work ethic! Great Job. You got any room on that trailer for a fuel cell for your equipment? Now you need a Generator and a welder for your Dually and your set.

[@GCFD]

Thank you Robert!

[@elragone4892]

Great video! I add to the comments about the grommets, but I wanted to caution you on that box - it's not as watertight as promised! I used it to rig together the wiring for essentially a trailer, and after a year the entire box was just one gigantic box of rust. I'm rebuilding it using stainless where possible now - perhaps consider throwing dielectric grease in there or something else to provide some sort of waterproofing.

[@GCFD]

Thanks for sharing! I will do that right away!

[@malcolmcheyne3803]

Of course most of the colours are different down under ;-) I would cut some 1" lengths of garden hose, put a slit in it and push them inside each of your washers. That will save chafing on the wires over time. We (down under) have to have a protective cover over the full length of our wires.

[@GCFD]

Good idea!

[@kylesonsalla7620]

This is not standard US writing colors. Light trailers in the US : Yellow=left turn Green=right turn Red=aux 12v Brown=clearance White=ground Blue=brakes Black=reverse Heavy trailers(semi's) are different in that they use a separate circuit(red) in addition to the yellow/green for brake lights. Blue is aux power/ABS, and both black and brown are clearance and tail lights.

[@GuzzyMan]

Shawn you should have ran your wire through a split wire loom to help protect them from the elements as well as help protect them from shorting out from them vibrating and chafing against the metal. wire loom is cheap and is a good insurance policy.

[@GCFD]

I thought about that but my 15 year old trailer is wired like this and hasn't had any problems. I don't do any off road with the trailers or go OTR distances.

[@piranhabadass1]

Good Stuff! Some great Tips and Tricks to wiring a trailer.

[@GCFD]

Thank you Joe!

[@nickfury7665]

Shawn if you're concerned about a small gauge on the blue wire you shouldn't be splicing into the ground wire, but should've run a separate ground for each brake. This is because the same current that will be pulled via the blue will flow to ground via white.

[@GCFD]

I am planning to splice in a ground near each axle connection and ground to the frame. Should that solve my problem?

[@mikeknoll1130]

Good Friday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset in the UK

[@GCFD]

Good morning!

[@slayer66thfc]

Hey Shawn. One thing that was over looked is the wire you used is copper clad aluminum. It will corrode very fast. I almost purchased the same wire bundle you listed when I rewired my trailer last year. Instead I used southwire on their spools. Made In the USA as well! From what I've seen most axle manufacturers recommend 10-12 gauge for the brakes so you don't have as much voltage drop to them. Take care and keep up the great work and videos!

[@GCFD]

👍

[@SurenCao]

Hey Shawn, Would suggest do some split loom on the wires will clean up things and help protect the wires a little more.

[@GCFD]

Good idea! I hate working with that stuff though (:

Shawn, Really great job. Just one thing I would do is add some sealant to the junction box where the wires go in. Especially in the top of the box where the white wire goes through. I think you have done a brilliant job.

[@GCFD]

Great idea! I will do that to help seal it up.

[@kenskip1]

Shawn, on my trailer I used PVC pipe as conduit with self tapping screws to fasten the PVC to the frame. BTW,PVC pipe makes a good curtain rod!

[@GCFD]

PVC never stops giving.

[@strato_5459]

the rear marker lights on the fenders should be red. i use those lights all the time on my trailers, theyre small but are mighty bright and look very classy

[@GCFD]

Thank you! They also don't get smashed like the ones that stick out do.

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

Super great build, I have worked with a lot of connectors and have never seen those heatable solder connections cool. I am not a fan of the metal washers to guide wire. You should put put an inline fuse on the negative side just in case anything shorts, even beyond fuse box. I see a lot of metal against wire on builds. Ziptie to washer works better.

[@GCFD]

that's funny you say that because I thought about ziptie to washer but went through the washers instead because my other trailer is wired that way. I guess I could cut the washers and reweld some for zipties if I have any problems.

[@tracyrain4941]

Another great vid but forgive me if I leave all of the electricity stuff to the professionals. I spent a childhood trying to fit long thin metal things into plug holes! Not just once have I been thrown across a room! Still have the curly hair to prove it too!!! 🤣😂🤣 PS...well done though, very impressive work all round on the building of the trailer. You are definitely a man of many talents 😊

[@GCFD]

Thank you Tracy. I'm glad you learned to stop playing with the plugs.

[@financialadvisor1000]

Real bright guy.

[@GCFD]

thank you!

[@grayjappe562]

Dylan is right, grommets are needed or over time the washers will rub the wires until they short

[@GCFD]

My 2007 trailer is wired the same and hasn't had any problems, which is why I did it this way. Seems like it should be a problem in theory but hasn't been. I don't think the wires are heavy enough to provide the frictional resistance to rub through.

[@Sula.Mendis]

As a aero structural engineer i think you need some grommets or some protection around those washers that you have welded to the frame It’s always better to be safe than sorry

[@GCFD]

I was thinking that too, but my other trailer is 15 years old with the same washers welded and hasn't been a problem. Like you said, bettter to be safe.

Just an FYI - Remember, a LED is a light emitting diode, and work as switches or gate keepers and as such are polarity sensitive. They block current flow in one direction and allow it to pass in the other direction.

[@pegasusdrilling4269]

[@jeepindave5464]

Isnt it cool that wiring is just like designing a drainage system? Of course you dont worry about fall, but amps = volume of water, voltage = pressure, and wire and connections = pipe size and tees. I've enjoyed the build series. Are we going to see the deck get installed and it's maiden voyage?

[@GCFD]

Yes and Yes Dave! I'm working on the next installment. This has turned into a much bigger project (the video series) than I was expecting.

[@I_must_get_a_van]

About wires rubbing on washers : just cable tie wires through the washers to prevent any movement. A quick fix. Cheers

[@GCFD]

that's a great idea Steve! I'm going to do that for sure.

[@stevefrederick8215]

A good tutorial Shawn however running a grounding wire (negative) to all light fixtures is far superior than relying on grounding at each fitting due to dissimilar metals causing electrolysis between joints.Electric brakes will work better if all the cables are run from a centre point and the same length otherwise you may find the closest brake will work better than the furthest brake especially if the company is planning on heavy loads🇳🇿🙏🙏👍

[@GCFD]

Great tips! thank you!

[@i.parkinson7822]

Thank you for your detailed video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I’m about to wire lights, brakes, junction box, and a breakaway box myself.

thank you for your great info,,the best,,....... if you made a harness for the wires on top of the trailer first like a new car factory build..harness. once it was all together transfer it to the under side of the trailer...just saying....cheers...

[@MatthewPierzchala]

Thanks for uploading these vids, love watching your work! I suspect someone has likely already mentioned it but it would definitely be worth running the wires through rubber or plastic grommets rather than bare metal to avoid the risk of sheath damage over the years which could potentially end in a short. Out of interest can you not run negative through the frame of the trailer like it is in the chassis of the car to save a bunch of wiring?

[@GCFD]

I haven't had any problems with the wires rubbing through on my other trailers. I suspect it's because the wire is not heavy enough to rub hard enough. Yes, you can ground each of these lights to the trailer frame, but then you need the trailer to be grounded to the vehicle to be grounded to the battery. Here, I ground through the wiring harness and to the frame (by the frame ground in the junction box).

[@MatthewPierzchala]

@@GCFD Thanks to the prompt response. Can't wait for the next vids :)

[@TurdyMcTurdface]

Running a separate ground wire is always more robust. If you see a trailer with dim lights in one location, it's like a grounding issue, and they probably have their grounds attached to the frame, rather than through a wire. Even if the connection is good to start, wear and tear, rust, and dirt will eventually cause issues with that connection. Then you'll be "that guy" with the dim trailer lights.

[@johnlastella]

hello, Great video. in your time lapse of the installation of the Bunker Indust break-away system, I can not tell where the white wire and the black wire running from the battery screw into the junction box?

you should have used another separate ground wire for the brakes to balance the electrical load

I was thinking that while I was making the video. I may splice in a ring terminal near the brakes and self tapper to the frame.

[@tomahawksteak6672]

Every trailer I've ever dealt with had brown wire for running lights. The green was for right turn and stop.

[@kattel84]

Would it have been easier to run a marker and ground wire on both sides of the trailer and use a butt connector at each light??

[@GCFD]

You could do it that way for sure. Or ground with a self tapper at each point.

[@rsuplido]

For that connector, I think you still need to mesh those wires together first before you menlt the solder just to be sure. just slide it to one side, twist or mesh wires together, slide it back and heat.

[@kylesonsalla7620]

A couple things to note: Using standard wiring colors for the function for your runs after the junction box would be a huge improvement if anyone else ever has to work on the trailer. I know I'd be pissed if say I didn't have a left turn, and was tracing the yellow wire only to find out someone used it for a different function. Protect the wires, most wire insulation won't last nearly as long exposed to UV light and the elements. Insulation should never be in a position to directly touch other surfaces that it could rub through on.

[@SalvoDan]

He has wired correctly as per SAE J2863. This is the correct standard for this application in his region. He does not have reversing lights so he does not need the purple wire. He did double-up the brake live signal, but it may be an idea to double-up the brake ground as well. Alternatively, use more of those self-tappers to earth the ground to the chassis as appropriate.

Hi I did a test run on my French Drain and water I put crushed rock down first then pvc corrugated then I put more rock on top then I started putting water on top of the crushed rock and then I went to the end where the discharge smooth PVC schedule 40 pipe is to wait so I can see the water and I noticed the trench started filling with water instead of coming out through the PVC pipe☹️🤦🏻‍♂️ did I do something wrong?

[@GCFD]

Did your pvc pipe have holes in it? The water should fill up the rock until it comes to the holes in the pipe, then water floods into the pipe and through the pipe.

[@rfl35]

Yes they do have holes and I dug that front part up just to where it connects to the solid drain pipe is and I noticed that there was not any dirt there just rock so my guess is the water was draining down the trench instead of building up to go into the pipe so I’m going to put some clay soil in front of their packet and we are good and then do a retest or maybe just pour some cement in that area and then put dirt and then do a retest
