What is the difference between trailer connectors?

  • A socket attaches to the tow bar.
  • A trailer plug attaches to the trailer.

Poor connections cause bad connections. A handy tip is to spray the male plug terminals with WD40. This is a temporary fix to overcome corrosion problems.

Solder the cable ends before connecting into the terminal ferrules. Solder all joints and tape with electrical tape or heat shrink.

Soldered joints last forever. Unsoldered joints will cause problems when the twisted joints oxidise. Electric current will not pass through corroded or hot connections and will cause a fire.

The best remedy used by many tow bar installers is to install a new ECU (electronic control unit) to control the LED light kit.

Finally, in 100% of cases, installing the ECU fixes problems with flickering vehicle lights.
