Trailer Elect Plugs Question

[Jim SoG]

IS there a wiring schematic for the plugs on the JTR? I want to rewire (rotted and missing pieces) my trailer and need to know what wire goes where LOL

TIA

I'm betting it is shown on the factory wiring diagrams, but they are standard trailer plugs. The pin-out diagrams for the plugs can be found on line.

For example, here is the info on the vehicle side plug from the Curt web site:

Ours is different - we have the flat pins.

It's a standard USCAR plug on the vehicle side. Ours is not different from what I posted. You are confusing the socket with the vehicle side plug.

No one truly knows the inner workings of a trailer plug

No, I'm not. This is why I'm working on leaving - Pretty easy to see in the picture I posted I'm referring to the TRUCK side. Did you even look at the picture and see the word "TRUCK" in bold on it?
I'm done.

I sort of know the differences.......... I use mine to keep the batteries up, and have adapted a few trailers to standard wiring.

My bit with the PDF is that is shows the clocking different. It shows power on the left vs. upper right. That's my only thing with it.

This -

Vs - (note it says truck right on it) IMO, this is a ton easier to follow for all of the novices out there trying to figure out what wire is what - because it's an exact match, including clocking of the pins.

which matches this exactly - so if he's under the truck, trying to figure out what that top let spade is for - the pic I posted matches this connectors exactly ->

Semantics, maybe - but this is the actual truck with the exact pinout in the same orientation as looking at the truck's plug.

Screw this. I bloody well know the differences in plugs and trailer vs. truck and made it very clear in my first post - it was the TRUCK side. I was trying to make it EASY for a novice, with the exact orientation, a perfectly lined up picture of the truck side.

I'd fry things if I didn't know the differences -

Hahahahahahahahaha!

You stated that what I posted was different from what we have on our vehicles. It is NOT different.

It is pretty easy to see in the info that I posted I'm referring to the VEHICLE SIDE PLUG side. Did you even look at the instructions and see the word "VEHICLE END" on it? You gotta pay attention.

You know, you are so worried about trying to prove what someone else has posted is wrong and that you are all-knowing that you overlook the very things that you are complaining about.

So you can charge through the hitch or you are charging a battery from the hitch? I used a 7-pin connector to make a pigtail to run an auxiliary backup lamp or a 12v water pump as needed.

For the time an expense (minimal) it’s a really handy accessory. I’m pretty sure the plug assembly I bought (nice metal body with good water ingress protection) came with a reference diagram. This is a standard connector type, the schematics are widely published.

The pin out is actually on the factory cover.

You can use the 12v line in the tow wiring, up to the limits of the fuse, to pull from the truck batteries and to charge them. You can buy an adapter with a 12v power port that plugs into the 7 pin connector for around $18.
