Looking for a nice trailer harness
im looking for a company that makes nice trailer wiring harness
i have everything working on my trailer right now but some of it was hacked by the PO and i would rather just replace it all and rewire the whole trailer with a good harness, so i will have no problems in the future |
I've never seen a so to speak, pre-made trailer harness. You just get the plug and start running wires to it. Trailers come in so many different lengths and lighting configurations that a ready made would never be right. This is if I'm understanding the question right.

ya you are
my reasoning comes mostly because i need tap into certain wires down the length of it for side markers, brakes, etc and the way the PO did it is he just cut the 6-wire, and used connectors on each wire i would like to be able to tap into it without having all the exposed connections |
The cleanest way to do this is with what they call a Junction Box. You run all your wires into it and then they fit over the appropriate screws that have all the wires from the plug running into it. Makes water tight, clean and conveinient connections.

Last time I went looking, Redneck Trailer Supply had some pre-bundled wiring for 6 round plugs. Don't remember how long they were right now, I want to say something like 30 - 40'. They also had a shorter peice with the plug and like 4 - 5' of wiring.

If you go that route though, you end up just butchering it to get to all the mutliple places each wire needs to supply power to. Just maount this junction box someplace out of the way under the toungue and run your wires to it. http://www.luckyb.com/44.htm Scroll through to the junction box.

Guess that would work on a trailer with alot of side markers or something. My lowly old stock trailer could probably get by with hacking the one wire to feed the 7 marker lights.

I just like these boxes cause if you ever have short it's just to easy to track and isolate it. Fixing any wiring issues is a snap. Even on a stock trailer you have the forward amber side markers, the front clearance markers, the rear side markers, the turn/stop signals, the rear clearance markers and then on most the additional interior light, backup lights and fender markers. That's alot of connections somehwere in that system. If you run one wire to cover lots of em then you end up chasing your tail with one light giving you problems.

I see your point, it's nothing more than an isolated set of studs to put eyelets on right? Or atleast thats how it lookded from the picture in the link above (but it was kind of small).
|
That's all it is. With this you can put every light on it's own wire to make everything simple. I like simple.
