Installation Instructions for 4-Way to 5-Way Adapter
Tools Required:
- Wire Crimpers
- Wire Cutters
- Test Light or Multimeter
- Quick Splice Connector (provided)
- Additional Wire (if needed for reverse light connection)
- Cable Ties (optional)
- Silicone Sealant (optional)
Overview:
This adapter converts your 4-way flat trailer connector to a 5-way flat, adding reverse light functionality for trailers with reverse lights or surge brake lockout systems.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mount the Adapter:
- Select a suitable mounting location near the hitch and securely install the adapter.
2. Connect the 4-Way Plug:
- Plug the 4-way flat connector from the adapter into the existing 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.
- This connection provides tail lights, left turn, right turn, and brake light functions.
3. Ground the Adapter:
- Locate a solid ground point near the adapter, such as the vehicle frame.
- Clean the surface to ensure proper contact.
- Secure the white ground wire from the adapter using the provided eyelet and a self-tapping screw.
4. Connect the Reverse Light Circuit:
-
Locate the Reverse Light Wire:
- Identify the reverse light circuit on your vehicle, typically found near the tail light assembly.
- Use the provided quick splice connector to attach the adapter's blue wire to the vehicle’s reverse light circuit.
-
Extend the Blue Wire (If Needed):
- If the adapter's blue wire is too short, splice in additional wire to reach the reverse light circuit.
- Route the wire safely, avoiding hot or moving parts, and secure it with cable ties.
-
Seal the Connection:
- If routing the wire through a grommet, seal any openings with silicone to prevent water ingress.
5. Secure the Wiring:
- Use cable ties to secure all wires and prevent them from hanging loosely or contacting sharp edges.
6. Test the Adapter:
- Plug the adapter into your trailer’s 5-way flat connector or use a test light to verify functionality:
- Brown Wire: Tail lights (solid when headlights are on).
- Yellow Wire: Left turn signal and brake light (flashes with turn signal).
- Green Wire: Right turn signal and brake light (flashes with turn signal).
- Blue Wire: Reverse light (active when the vehicle is in reverse).
- White Wire: Ground (continuity with the vehicle's ground).
Notes:
- This adapter is designed specifically for trailers requiring a reverse light or surge brake lockout circuit.
- Ensure all connections are secure to avoid intermittent functionality.
- Always follow safety guidelines during installation and verify all circuits before use.
Warning: Improper installation or overloaded circuits can result in damage or fire. Test all connections carefully.
