Carry On Trailer Upgrade- 4 to 7 Pin Connector
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2021
- I upgrade the connector on my trailer from a 4 pin to a 7 blade connector. The 4 pin is easily damaged and hard to connect. The 7 blade is more durable and easier connect.

I have got to say , you saved my bacon with your diagram of where the indicators go, the ground and the tail lights. None of the other you tube channels were any help. WELL DONE
Good video, Roger. Shows clearly how to do it and avoid all the possible pitfalls!
Thanks Terry 👍
This video is awesome. Just what I needed to convert my Cary on trailer over to a 7 pin. Thanks so much for making it.
No problem! I"m glad I could help!
Roger, I did this for my boat trailer b/c I got tired of the 4 pin connector always shorting out at the slightest wiggle or bump. Once I replaced with a 7 blade connector, I had no more issues. Well, I see you have all your lights working as you hoped. Good job. Enjoyed the video; full-watch. 👍🏽🙂
Those 4 pins are finicky. The pins are exposed to the weather, so they are prone to corrosion. Have a good week!
Good evening Sir 😉👍🍻
@@RCAFpolarexpress Hey there, Dave. Hope you're doing well.
@@houndsmanone4563 Yes in deed and hope you too mon ami 😉👍🍻
Great video, thanks for teaching me how to do it
You are welcome!
Great Video! Very Informative!
Ive been doing that to every trailer i own for 30 years and carry the wiring diagram in my wallet for those roadside repairs
That is not a bad idea to carry a wiring diagram.
Bonsoir mon ami 😉👍 I think that you will love your upgrades 👌😉 Great electric blue print 😉👌 Have a great week mon ami Cheers 🍻👍😉
Thanks, you too!
@@TractorTech 👍😊👌🍻
You should use o-ring terminals which are SEALED. Otherwise your wire will oxidize and go black after just a few months of moisture/environment exposure - which would lead to all kinds of issues down the road. Never leave wire exposed - use crimp heat shrink connectors.
Great information and I agree that the 4 pin connector is a poor electrical connector and should be replaced with a 7 blade.
I hate 4 pins and 1 7/8'' balls.
Hello! Thank you for this video. I have a trailer that has a 4 way connector. I purchased the autosonic 7 way trailer plug with junction box. How were you able to determine which wire controls which function by testing it with the meter? I unfortunately cut off the flat plug already.
Some video shows the output signals for each location. Search for diagram and you know what you need

Put the meter on ohm or continuity. The touch a wire and touch a light socket. If the meter does nothing touch another wire.
Ok thank you very much for your reply. I will try it.
@@obdrumguard You can also figure out which one is the ground. Then you can touch the ground and another wire on a battery at a time to figure out what each wire does.
Gotta convert mine today only difference in my case is trailer brakes.
Good luck!
@@TractorTech Came out great!
@@210GrainsOfJustice good
But the trailer isn't grounded via the ball hitch to the truck? Maybe something is wrong with my wiring lol
Commenting from Nebraska. Can anyone help me out with a similar project?
My carry-on mesh trailer has a 4 pin connector with 5 wires...white, 2 browns, yellow/brown and green. I'm not sure what color wires are on the front clearance lights but the left taillight has a yellow/brown wires and the right taillight has green/brown wires.
Other than figuring out the white wire is ground, what are the other wires and what terminals do they go to on the 7 pin connector?
Since you know the white wire is ground, use a battery and couple of test leads and touch each wire and see what lights illuminate.
1x(10/29/22$…..Done. Thank you
You are welcome!
Sorry but I had a chuckle when the trailer showed up, I was expecting something bigger.
Fuck this is frustrating. My 4 pin has two browns one form each side. 7 pin has one brown. No mention of this at all
I mentioned that they may use color wires. A new trailer may no use the standard colors. Figure out which one is your ground. Then you can touch it and a wire on a battery to figure out what each does.
Cant see your diagram. Absolutely no help at all
Sorry.
Just pause it and zoom in!
