Great video, brother. I knew what i needed to do, but watching your video made it clear. Also appreciate you got straight to the DIY without padding the video with what you had for breakfast or other irrelevant banter. Top notch stuff, thanks!
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.
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.
ahhhh....the only thing i was wondering about was skipped over...the actual wire placing and screwing into each numbered terminal......I'm not sure how that goes...guess I'll wing it or find another video. thanks though
Same here. I was waiting for the part that shows about putting the wires into the end. Have zero clue. I'll have to find another video that shows that step
@@5hpenny just for u i skimmed thru vid again. Yeah u just loosen the screws (the gold screws in his case) and shove the stripped end of each wire into the hole(i think its a hole) and tighten up to keep wire secured there. The wires are colour coded so u know which one goes where. Hope that helps!/makes sense
@@felinefox4039 thank you, yes that helps very much. I kept up with most of it but didn't know if the wires go on the outside of the screws or sandwiched or what, lol
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.
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
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
@@leoj78 i took it to my local trailer repair shop. Apparently it was wired wrong even though i followed the instructions. So just take it to a shop and have them take a look
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.
Brent Bradley go hate somewhere else, there is absolutely no need for you to bring your negative BS onto my page. People who put others down because they aren’t happy with their own life, which isnt my fault so take your negativity off my page, you clearly have nothing better to do than to start talking shit which is sad
