Need to Hook Up Electric Trailer Brakes?

jhnyblayze asked:


I purchased a trailer that has electric trailer brakes. I don’t know how to hook up the brakes. The 7 way plug I purchased has only one wire for the electric brakes (blue). Each hub on the trailer (there are 4 of them) has 2 wires coming out the back side. I assume one is the power and one a ground. Do I just splice all the power wire and all the ground wires together and attach them to the power and ground on the plug? Help me out!

The wiring diagram with the kit I purchased leaves a lot to be desired. It looks like there are 4 wires coming out of the housing on the brake pedal. Which one is the correct one to connect the electric brake controller to? I’m planning to tow a trailer with electric brakes this weekend.
Easier said than done. There are four wires and they can’t be easily probed from under the dash. They are in a molded connector. Any other ideas?

Not sure why this would happen since nothing hooked up, any suggestions?
Got some good ideas to check so far, my other question is if I choose to use this just as a regular trailer without the electric brakes is that okay??? Or is that going to be a problem
