Tip: It is easier to run the trailer’s wire before installing the wheels. You will install the

wheels in STEP 3.

STEP 2: WIRE ASSEMBLY

Note: when standing at the back of the trailer looking toward the front, with the

trailer still inverted, the wiring harness bundle with the YELLOW wire will be threaded
along the DRIVER’S side (right side when looking at the trailer upside-down) to the
brake/signal light, and the bundle with the GREEN wire will be threaded along the

PASSENGER’S side (left side) to the brake/signal light.

RUN WIRE

a. Locate the first rib back from the front of the trailer. (The only rib that has an

entry hole and flat bracket). While facing the front of the trailer, push the

wiring harness (12) through the eye in the rib, and run the harness with the
yellow wire inside the rib to your right, and the harness with the green wire

to your left.

b. Insert the hollow, round plug into the eye of the rib plate bracket. (This

prevents the wires from rubbing directly against the frame). Leave the plug
exposed. (The plug will connect to tongue’s wire in STEP 5).

c. Pull the wires along the ribs until the wires reach the side of the trailer.

d. Where the wire bundles split, run the green and yellow bundles along their

respective sides of the trailer, along the frame, and back to the tail/brake
light positions, and then run the brown and white wires to the running light

position on each corner of the trailer. Pull the wires through the holes on the

sides of the trailer in preparation for light connection.
