Never put your trailer on the road with questionable wiring or a lighting system that is already known to be failing. As drivers slow down behind a vehicle that is pulling a trailer, they will often instinctively focus on the bright brake lights as a reference point for where to stop and how quickly the vehicle in front is stopping. If you've got bright, well functioning brake lights on the trailer, these lights will catch the attention of the drivers behind you, regardless of how much they are paying attention. If your trailer's lights are dim or nonexistent, those drivers will focus on the lights on your vehicle, which likely will not give them enough time to stop, which could result in an accident. While they might be deemed at fault, no one needs the headache of dealing with insurance companies—nor do you want whatever cargo you are carrying to be damaged or anyone to be injured.

The worst that usually happens with screwy trailer wiring is a blown fuse on the tow vehicle—or something wacky, like reversed turn signals or blinking brake lights. While none of these are things we look forward to when pulling a trailer, they are also easy to correct. These four colored wires make up your trailer's wiring system. Each connects to a different function: here

While it's never a good idea to dive into a wiring project blind, trailer wiring is actually very simple to work on and troubleshoot. For the most part, the wiring harness that operates your trailer lights is a closed system. The only point of contact to the outside world (meaning the world that exists outside of the trailer itself) comes on the truck side of the four-prong connector (or seven-prong connector if you are using a higher end system for trailers with electric braking systems). Even on the truck side, where the trailer wiring intersects with your vehicle's wiring harness, there are only four wires to deal with. When you're troubleshooting the trailer wires, be sure you do it one wire at a time, starting by checking your ground wire with a circuit tester. here

When making your repairs or hooking up your trailer, you simply make sure these wires are running to the appropriate component as shown above.

Whether you're installing a new trailer light circuit in your car or truck or trying to troubleshoot trailer wiring that is not working, you'll need to understand what each wire in the trailer wiring harness does, where it likely goes, and why it may not be working well. This diagram shows the colors of a basic trailer wiring setup as well as what each wire is supposed to be connected to. here

Remember, pulling a trailer is never something to take lightly. Always be extra aware of everything going on around you, and give everyone the right of way. here

Is the product cost-effective? The Led lights promise to deliver lasting and quality lighting source of at least 30 to 40 times better than other conventional bulbs in the market. For a boat owner that values every money spent on any purchase made, this is a wise investment if you will compute the money saved for not having to replace lights often. here

Boat trailer lights come in various shapes and types. Some lighting kits may perform different applications while others offer a combination of functionalities. [links]

Next, simply match the “like” color wires of the assembly to those of the trailer wiring and apply the scotch lock. Scotch locks make this task easy and quick.

How often do you check your boat trailer lights? The lights should be checked every time the boat trailer is made ready for towing. Because most boat trailer lights are submerged when launching and loading the boat, lighting system malfunction can be expected at some point in time.

Changing the boat trailer lights is generally not a difficult job. Start by inspecting the vehicle to trailer connectors and all existing wiring. A circuit tester which has voltmeter and ohmmeter functions will verify that each wire is providing the necessary power. Do not waste time by trying to patch or repair problems with the old existing wiring or connectors. Complete trailer light kits are available that include everything needed to quickly and easily replace all the trailer’s wiring. here

Generally, the 4 way system is patterned so that the right turn signal and brake light wire is green, the left turn signal and brake wire is yellow. Tail lights, tag light, and side marker lights are powered using the brown wire, leaving the white as the ground. more

Water, especially brackish and salt water, is very corrosive to the metals in light assemblies. Keeping water out of a light assembly means maximizing the trailer lights usefulness. Some light assemblies are designed to be completely air tight, while others may trap a bubble of air in a effort to prevent water from contacting the bulb and bulb assembly. Regardless of the design, there will come a day when upon checking the boat trailer lights, the boater will find that one or even both lights have failed to illuminate.

[GLR444]

Once you have determined that all connectors and wiring is operating correctly and that the light assemblies need to be replaced be sure to purchase the proper assemblies. Do the light need to be the submersible type or of a low profile design? In most cases, if the new assemblies are closely identical to the old they should work. here

Q: Will the converter work in reverse for vehicle-to-vehicle towing?
A: No. [links]

Q: When I have my headlights on and apply the brakes all my lights on my trailer go out. What causes this?
A: You have a ground problem. In your situation, you have a ground that is strong enough to provide some lighting functions but not all. This is called a weak ground. When the taillights and brake lights are used at the same time it creates the maximum amp load of lights on the trailer. If a ground problem exists it will show at this point. The places to check grounds are as follows: more

Q: What is a converter?
A: Two types of taillight designs are found on vehicles: an independent bulb system and a common bulb system. If the brake light and turn signal operate from the same bulb, the taillight design is common. If the brake light and turn signal work from separate bulbs, the design is independent. The industry standard found on trailers is a common bulb system. Vehicles will vary depending on the make and model. Any vehicle that has an independent bulb system must have a converter to “convert” the independent system to a common system, which is required on a trailer. A converter enables vehicles with independent brake lights and turn signals to provide proper lighting to the trailer.

Q: When my trailer is connected to my vehicle the turn signals are dim and flashing rapidly. What causes this?
A: When you add trailer lights to a vehicle system, the turn signal amp load basically doubles. Most vehicles have a flasher that controls the blink of a turn signal. The standard flasher provided in many vehicles will not handle this extra load. You should replace your flasher with a heavy duty flasher (8 to 10 amp) and make sure the vehicle engine is running. The flasher will slow down your turn signals and a running engine will increase the brightness of the lamps. here
