Trailer wiring

Post by blue_can »

I decided to finally install a hitch for towing. Based on the advice here I got the Hidden Hitch from etrailer.com. I also got various other bits to do the trailer lighting and managed to just get the order to over $150 which qualified for the 99c shipping.I thought about the install and decided that I would like the wiring to be available outside permanently. I was not that keen about having a connector lying inside which I would have to pull out through the tailgate every time I wanted to wire it up. So I installed it with external wiring. All the wires are fully concealed.Here are some pics that may help anyone else who wants to install it this way. I also got a cap for the connector which also has LEDS that function as test lights.I’ve not really posted pics on this site before so hopefully these will be visible.
