This video is a complete install of a 7 pole trailer plug and junction box on your pull trailer. Step by step video on how to terminate each wire placement and trailer brake wiring. This junction box is the ticket for any trailer wiring upgrade. Its easy to install and lets you run new wiring, use existing wiring harness and even let you replace just one wire if need to down the road. A must have for any older trailer.
List of items used in the video.

PSA from someone that crimps wires for a living, there is a break in the metal portion of the terminal on the top side when looking at the brush of the terminal. That is designed to go into the wire, so always make sure to crimp it that way and not from the sides. Great video!

The video was well done and clear so we could see what you did. Great job showing how to detect which pole was for which function. A guy just starting out would probably have trouble with that if he didn't find your video. I wish you would have shown more detail of the box. I'm concerned about salt getting in there. I live in WI and salt is a terror on electrical connections. I could probably spray all the contacts with protective gel, there are some that will not conduct electricity. I have worked on autos since 1964 and it bothers me the box didn't have standardized color coding. For automotive use, RED should have been the power wire. As you did, a guy could work around that but it was not to my liking at first. I would probably have to move the factory wiring to be standard and paint the black wire red. Green - the R is for right turn. Yellow - the L is for left turn. Brown - is for tail lights and markers. No clue in the color name, just have to remember it. And the white for ground on trailers. That looks like a very sturdy set up that should last many years with no maintenance.

Thank you for the comment. Comments like this make the videos worth doing. I totally agree on the color codes. That’s the only thing about the set up that’s off. The box is real sturdy and seals off good. As long as the post are coated with electric grease and all the access plugs are in place it should be sealed against the elements. Thank you for watching my friend.

@@pineylife When you do add the LED's (which I am assuming are for backup/or load lights) please make a video so those of us that need visual stimulation to understand things will be able to to do the same or similar to our trailers. I am starting to refurb a 6x12 flat utility trailer and was going to swap out the 4 flat for a 7-pin setup. This combo 7-pin/junction box is just the ticket. I may use one each on my M101a2 and possibly my 7x16 enclosed. Thanks for the effort in putting together this video.

Jamie, this is a real good video. You mentioned that you could come out of the box and go to a battery to keep it charged for a winch (or really anything 12v that needs power). Question.....can you mount the winch on the trailer tongue and wire it straight to the box? Of course, I understand that the truck will need to be plugged in in order for the winch to have power, but that's ok with me. I'm more interested in pulling stuff on my trailer while I'm hooked to it. So, can you eliminate the battery and hook up a winch directly? I'm always having to go pick up my buddies pioneer's when they break down lol. Seriously, good video .... I'll be getting one for my trailer!
@pineylife
@pineylife 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Dale, Thanks buddy. Yes You can do it that way as long as its not a big winch. The only issue you might have is the gauge wire might not be heavy enough to carry the load since the battery is actually so far away from the winch. I really don't see this being a problem with the truck running though... I SEE WHERE YOU WAS GOING WITH THAT PIONEER COMMENT. LOL. Thanks again and keep me posted on the project.

NO, winches draw way too much amps to run through them little wires. Need either a trailer battery or like 0ga from battery back to a 300a Anderson plug at rear bumper then plug winch into that.

You need to get some 1 hole 3/8” straps and screw em into the tongue down the side to hold the cable down til it gets past the mount. That way it won’t be in the way or get snagged on anything

...no break-away wiring, maybe that trailer isn't big enough to require it...would you just run a wire to your positive pole, through the break-away switch, and then to your braking terminal?
@pineylife
@pineylife 2 жыл бұрын
No I don't have a break away box on this trailer. Its a older home made trailer. If I was going to add one I would order the brake away switch box from e trailer or somewhere like that. It has the wiring disconnect that you put in the brake wires for the disconect to active your brakes and Then of course you would hook it to your chains.

JFYI! Every easy mounting location for that box to be mounted means it can be destroyed easily! Ask me how I know! Put it where road debris, bumpers, jacks etc! can't get to it. Thanks
@pineylife
@pineylife Жыл бұрын
I have not had any issue where it is placed. I get what your saying about road debris hitting it. but bumpers hitting it, jacks hitting it!!! Really? If a jack is mounted on the side of the tongue it might hit it but mine is mounted thru the tongue of the trailer. Whether the box is there are not. You get a bumper that close to the trailer I would be worried more about bumper getting damaged than a plastic box. Where would you recommend mounting the box on your trailer?

Hey there, I purchased one of these, and I liked it in every way, except one…. The three green yellow and brown light terminals did not match color with function. So when I plugged in, all my light were wrong. I had to use a multimeter to sort out the function and require. So now it works but my Tralee green, for right turn, goes to the brown, on the plug, has anyone else had this problem??

Glad you like it and you are not the only one that's had this problem. I found a similar issue with mine when I was wiring it up. The colors did not match on mine either. That why I turned one function on at a a time and used light tester to figure out which stud was the right terminal for my wired plug. I did contact them about the issue but never got a reply back. Glad you figured the issue out and thanks for watching
