Wiring instructions — six-wire system
continued from preceding page
5. If your motorhome does not have the correct wiring
socket already, you can replace it with the new socket
for the six-wire cord, and connect the appropriate wires
to the new socket, according to Figure 15.
6. Now, connect the six-wire electrical cord to the mo-
torhome and to the towed vehicle. Test the towed vehi-
cle’s turn signals, tail lights and brake lights to ensure
they mimic the motorhome’s.
If the plugs and sockets are not properly wired, the
electrical connection will not function, and the towed
vehicle’s turn signals and brake lights will not mimic
those of the motorhome.
Drivers behind the towed vehicle will not be alert-
ed by turn signals or brake lights, which may result
in a traffic accident, causing property damage, person-
al injury or even death.
