Materials:
* Trailer Wiring Kit (7- or 12-pin)
* Wire connectors
* Insulation tape
* Tool kit (screwdriver, pliers, side cutters)
Instructions:
1. Determine the connector type:
Determine the type of connector used on your trailer. This will be either a 7-pin or 12-pin connector.
2. Connect the wires:
Connect the wires from the trailer wiring kit to the corresponding vehicle wires. Typically the wire color is the same for both types of connectors.

*Green: Tail light on left side
*Red: Stop light
*Black: Ground
*White: Reverse (12-pin only)
* Blue: Trailer brake (12-pin only)
3. Insulate connections:
Insulate all connections with wire connectors and electrical tape to ensure proper electrical conductivity and moisture protection.
4. Install the connector on the trailer:
Install the connector on the trailer and connect the wires. Typically the connector is secured with bolts or screws.
5. Check the connection:
Test the connection by turning on the vehicle’s headlights, turn signals, and brake lights. If everything works correctly, then the electrical wiring is connected successfully.
6. Troubleshooting:
If you are having problems with your wiring, follow these steps:
* Check all connections and make sure they are secure.
* Make sure the correct connector types are used.
*Check for blown fuses in the vehicle or trailer.
*Consult a qualified electrician if you are unable to correct the problem yourself.
Adviсe:
*Use a quality trailer wiring kit with durable wires and connectors.
* Provide protection from moisture by properly insulating connections.
* Check and clean connections regularly to prevent corrosion.
*If you are unsure of your skills, have a qualified electrician make electrical connections to your trailer.
