O.K., I tried to figure out my wiring on my trailer. I probably made things worse. I give up! Need someones help. Will pay cash. Thanks, Brian.
-
I will help you, and then you can help me with my new project. Drop me a PM and tell me whats up with it.
-
I can help out too - I'm sure your plug has become rotten inside... Bring it to my place and we'll fix it up - Chris is buying beer....
-
No, the plug is not rotten on the inside. Ive taken eveything apart ( my other mistake) . I wanted to do away with the adapter and got the male/female plugs then I started to wire everything up but Im going from a 7 prong to a 5 prong. So, were does the other wire fuckin go? I spent 2 days on this Im at my wits end. :wacko: I have beer and anything else you might want. If not I can get it. ;)
-
Don't follow the color \"code\" on the new plug - it's wrong..... we'll get her done - when do you want to do it by?
-
What color code? I just tried to rewire it the same way. I would like to get it done asap because Ive got a car to pick up.
-
give me a shout when you get home.
-
The 7 pin has seperate wires for signal and brake. The 5 pin shares the same wire. Without looking at it I would guess that there is a box that is part of this configuration?? The box contains diodes required to prevent both signal lights from flashing when you are signalling. I can draw it out if you like. I done this a hundred times.
Let me know.....

Thanks Mowser, I ended up getting the same wiring diagram and Im in the process of hooking it up by tonight. If it dont work Ill be taking someone up on their offer for help.
-
Brian,
did you get this all working now?
-
Hey Russ, no, I havnt gotten the wiring working yet. I had a friend over and he went through the whole car/trailer and the problem right now seems to be the trailer relay inside the vehicle. Now, we just got to figure out which relay (there are 3 of them bastards) is bugered.
-
A quick trip to Radio shack and a couple bucks later and you will be fixed. Let me know I have the made several of the systems from scratch. I think I even have the drawings on my puter. I worked on Million Dollar Coaches making these damn things work for everything from Escalades to CRV's to triple axle trailers.
