[QUOTE="4x4dually, post: 1249010, member: 4100"] For those of you that are sick to death of your 7-way blade (RV type) trailer plugs and receptacles, there is an affordable alternate. The SAE J560, heavy duty, tractor-trailer type, plug and receptacle. I went to these on my trailers years ago and don't have any trouble with them. They use a round pin instead of those crappy flat blades that always smash down and don't make good contact. You can buy them at NAPA in plastic, metal, and fused metal versions. The standard J560 wiring has independent stop and turn signals. The attached is an alternate wiring method that will give you combined stop/turn signals as well as a brake wire and auxiliary power. For you OCD types, the standard color codes shown here match the colors embossed in the plugs and recepts and follow the standard wiring colors for 99% of all trailers manufactured today (minus the red being used for reverse lights). This is also a great deterrent for those who ask to borrow your trailer. :mrgreen: [url=http://s300.photobucket.com/user/4x4dually/media/Trailers/BBCC7FF5-AD39-4180-A0D2-984C3F98F378_zpsemrvnslo.jpg.html][img]http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn36/4x4dually/Trailers/BBCC7FF5-AD39-4180-A0D2-984C3F98F378_zpsemrvnslo.jpg[/img][/url] They also make a cleaner tool for them.
