• Take the light and using the pigtail provided plug the pigtail into the 2 holes on the back of the
light. Plug the square flat ends into the light. Make sure connectors snap in place fully.
• Now on the other end of the pigtail, remove the 2 plugs in the ends of the connectors and plug in
the wire extension. Make sure connectors snap in place fully.
• Mount light in front corner of or side of trailer. Mount light in location where driver can see it in
driver’s side view mirror.
• Mount indicator light to trailer using the self tapping screw provided. Make sure to tuck wires
inside back of light and where wires come out of slots provided to keep from pinching wire when
mounted.
• Secure wire to trailer using p-clamps. Make sure wiring is not hanging down to catch on anything.
! IMPORTANT: Make sure that as you are installing the p-clamps you run the wire with a drip
loop in the bottom of cable below the 7 pin connector box. This keeps water from running
down the cable from the indicator light into the electrical box. See Figure 33
• Remove the cover to the trailer 7 pin connector box. See Figure 32
• Route the wire from the light into the 7 pin connector box. Route enough wire into the box to
have about 8” of wire sticking out and cut off excess wire. Strip about 5” of the wire jacket from
the wire using a jacket stripping tool. Make sure not to cut jacket so deep you cut into the
insulation on the wires.
• Strip off 1/4" of insulation from the black and white wire.
• Route end of the 3 conductor wire into the 7 pin connector box. Strip the wire jacket from around
the wires back about 6” using a jacket stripping tool. Make sure not to cut jacket so deep you cut
into the insulation on the wires.
• Next strip 1/4” of insulation from the white, brown and yellow wires.
• Take a ring terminal and crimp on the end of the white wire from the light and crimp a ring terminal
on the white wire going to the control box. Both white wires coming to the 7 pin connector box
should have a ring terminal crimped to them. Use a terminal crimping tool.
• Crimp ring terminal to the brown wire.
• Crimp butt splice to the Black wire from the light and the yellow wire from the 3 wire cable going to
the control box.
• Remove the nut from (Pin 1 biggest pin) on the 7 pin connector terminal and place the white wire
from the 3 wire cable on the post. Replace nut and tighten down.
• Remove the nut from (Pin 7) on the 7 pin connector and connect the brown wire from the 3 wire
cable to the post and the white wire from the light and tighten down the nut. This will be the center
pin and will carry the power on systems that support ABS.
