Over the past weekend, I found out that not all horse trailers are wired the same. What happened: I wired in a 7-way round connector in the middle of the rear bumper. Looks & feels solid. I needed to pull a hay trailer w/ a 6-pin round connector. To match them, I bought a 7-to-6 pin adapter from the local tow shop. When I hooked them up, the horse trailer's brakes were on all the time. All other lights worked perfect. At the time of discovery, I thought it was my wiring job that was at fault. So did my highly disgusted wife! As I didn't know any better and didn't have any time to fiddle, we used a different vehicle to tow with. Wife was pissed. Anyway, another guy who was there mentioned it may be the trailer itself. After researching it over the Internet and talking to the local camper guys, I found out that older models of trailers w/ 6-pin rounds tended to have the battery/brake (S&A) leads swapped. I confirmed this by swapping those 2 leads on the adapter, hooking the trailer back up, and checking brake op. When I did, no more stuck brakes. BTW, the adapter I bought made allowances for this as all other leads were soldered except the S&A leads! If ever I have this problem again, I'll know to swap those leads back. It takes 5 minutes to do. Happily wired ------------------------------ From: "Douglas Petschow" Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 14:37:48 -0400 Subject: Chips What are the different type of chips on the market?
