			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a utility trailer and a horse trailer.  My main truck in pulling these is a 1994 Chev C1500.  It has a 7pin connection, but 1 pin is missing&#8230;ever since I acquired the truck.  The stop lights and turn signal lights work with the utility trailer, but not with the horse trailer.  I plugged the horse trailer into my Nissan Titan&#8217;s connection, and all lights work.  The Titan has a different connection type, but I use an adapter.  Does the Chev truck connection need the missing pin?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I recently bought an old 25’ flat bed trailer. The old wiring had missing insulation here and there, so I replaced the wiring with new 16ga 4-wire, 25’ kit. 16ga was the biggest I could find. I tied this into 6’ 12 ga whip that has the trailer plug. This is the only part of the old wiring I kept. It looked like it was replaced recently.  Max distance from plug to LED is about 32&#8242;. While I was at it I replaced the taillights with LEDs. I double-checked all connections, colors, and wiring of plug. (I did not tie in the clearance lights yet, thought I better test it.) When I plugged it into my 1997 Dodge pickup, the LED lights barely lit for braking, hazard and turning. Absolutely no taillights. Should I have used 12ga wiring, or could it be the ground?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[HI, I have a Chevy Silverado 2005 work truck, to which I installed a 4 wire flat plug to match my boat. My truck has 2 different lights for the blinkers and the brake lights. If I install the plug with the blinker lights and the brake lights like it says to, it just back feeds though and the blinker light come on when you hit the brakes on the truck and vice versa. My question is, do I need a 5-way plug to install on my truck and my trailer and run the brake circuit though the other prong? Or is there something else I’m missing?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am looking for a manufacturer that produces both a red and amber 4&#8243; pedestal mount LED light with a standard 3 wire pigtail that will allow grounding at or near the point of installation.  The lamp we are currenlty using is designed as a housing ground device.  Unfortunately our application does not allow the housing to create an adequate ground.  Consiquently we have had to add a groud wire to each lamp prior to installation.  Do you know of a manufacturer that we can contact that produces such a lamp.<br />
Any input you can provied will be greatly appreciated.<br />
Thank you<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[When my cargo trailer is plugged into my pickup all its lights work perfectly. When same trailer is plugged into my class C motor home, the trailer lights are half as bright and the running lights on the motorhome dim slightly when the turn signal lights blink. A reputable motor home dealer has worked on both the trailer and motor home and they could not fix the problem. I have replaced all the tail/brake light wiring from the chassis wire harness back to the trailer plug. Every ground connection has been removed cleaned and reinstalled, plus I added an extra grounding wire at the end of the motor home frame. This new ground wire was spliced into the replacement harness’ ground wire. This did not fix the problem, either.<br />
Do you have any suggestions as to what I do next?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We recently bought a hopper trailer with PM LED marker lights. All of the lights on one side have been torn off, but the plug-ins are still there.  The plug-ins are round rubber plugs with two flat female terminals inside them.  We would like to find the original style lights to put back on the trailer, without having to rewire everything.  The lights are approx 6&#8243;x2&#8243;.  I could not find anything with this style of plug on the website. Are they discontinued? If so, is there anyway to find out if there any out there left on the shelves?<br />
