Thanks so much mate for this video for us rank amateurs. It was so clearly explained and I got my 6x4 lights working without a problem. What a great idea to use a 9 volt battery to check led lights which I now have on my trailer. Cheers, Warren
Good video. Well explained. I have all lights working except left indicator. There is no seperate white ground wire from the indicator assembly to connect to body of tralier. The white wire runs straight out of the unit to connect to main wires. If it is a ground/earth problem wouldn't the brake and tail lights not work?
Doing a boat trailer but i ran two cables for l/h and r/h and the two meet at the top of the trailer which i wired together then into the plug it did work but now only the right side.
After your very informative information I'm going to have a go at this myself. Sorry for this very dumb question but when you test the lights with the battery what side do you put the white earth wire on positive or negative
Thank you so much for the video, it's very clear and informative! I'm just wondering why the green wire running through the trailer cable from the left light is connected on the right-hand side - can you just cut it off and not connect it to anything?
@@EFFICIENTSELF I have another question, I hope you don't mind! I'm going to attempt to rewire an old box trailer that has new lights on it, but the lights only have 3 wires - no earth wire. So how do I earth them?
I bought two trailer lights from supercheap they are not left and right ,I think maybe yours are ? so if you have universal and wire it as I did its not going to work , my electrical knowledge is 0 so I spent a few hours wondering , why when I copied yours did it not work , fixed now. but I agree great video mate Thanks
What was the splicing joining tool you used 9:10min & Great video BTW & 9V tip!. I'm rigging up a reverse light as well, to aid my reverse camera on a box trailer. As I get back late and can't see when reversing down my driveway.
Search automatic wire strippers on eBay these ones are very similar here www.ebay.com.au/itm/172356595925?epid=1287309174&hash=item282140f0d5:g:z6wAAOSwLnBX6ykS thanks for watching 👍🍻
Sorry mate quick question, does the earth wire connect to the trailer body at all? or does it just run straight through to the left tail light with the middle and right earth's spliced into it?
Well, my brake lights aren't working, and even running a separate wire to them doesn't work. Not sure what the problem is, all the other lights work. Might get some led lights, and then perhaps a new plug worst case. Trial and error I suppose.
Hey mate, I have trailer lights with only 4 wires -earth, brake, tail and indicator tested on a 9v battery and 5 core wiring. Any ideas with how to set it up?
Yes left light you connect left indicator to yellow wiring (5 core) and right you connect indicator to green wire ( 5 core) the rest of the wiring you connect the same eg brown,tail….red ,stop etc hope this helps 👍🍻
Thanks for the reply. Also discovered that the earth connected to the trailer should be not far from the plug, say half a meter if it’s connected down near the tail lights. Say 2meters from the plug it’s ineffective.
Sorry to be a blitz but the three green wires to the right hand indicator- one from the trailer plug, one from the right hand light where is the third one connected to?
No need to connect as should have been 2 green just from plug and connect to right indicator.you can blank the other off ….dont know what I was thinking at the time .🤣
Thanks again for the reply. The wiring I did was correct but the left indicator wasn’t working. Triple checked again but it turned out the plug in the socket just needed a wiggle! Was driving me crazy but all ok in the end. Thanks for the video.. spot on and Australian so relevant to us Aussies. Cheers.
I did all that but taped all together was working fine I I should have tape the wires like you had done coz when I plugged them in my running lights and everything went out no only indicators nd brake lights work do you have a clue why this could be doing this??🤔
@@EFFICIENTSELF Unless I missed something you didnt mention connecting the earth to the trailer itself. Other videos recommend this, what is your opinion?
Dunno what I was thinking . Must of been one of those days 😂 should of been 2 to join , the feed wire to indicator and I should of cut the other off. But it’s been blanked off at the left indicator. Thanks for pointing that out cheers 🍻
@@EFFICIENTSELF lol all good mate, I'm in the process of re-wiring my trailer and got confused when I heard that but makes sense now Thanks for the vid, great help 👍
Not all 7-pin and 12-pin flat plugs will work together. The door on 7-pin sockets typically open vertically and latch onto the plug while 12-pin sockets open laterally and retain onto the side of the housing. Also be aware that 7-pin round plugs may be wired to either ISO-1724, ISO-3732 or AS-2513. These standards are not interchangeable, Australian and New Zealand trailers should always be wired to AS-2513 (AKA NZ-2513). To make matters more confusing pin 2 on AS-2513 plugs may be labeled as "AUX" and pin 5 may be labeled as "FOG" especially on trailers that aren't fitted with Reverse Lamps or Electric Brakes. Finally, 12-pin wired trailers may use non-standard connections for pins 8, 9, 11 and 12. Some trailers manufacturers even use non-standard wiring for Aux power, breakaway sense and Hydraulic Brake Pump.
But did he wire a 12 pin trailer? No! Did he wire a trailer with Brakes? No! He stated the trailer didn’t require brakes! Is this a 12 pin re-wire video? No!

Use the earth wires from cable and the lights You can also earth to the body if you want to 👍🍻
What did you do with the green wire on the left side?
Blanked it off .. hope it helped 👍🍻
