Toyota Trailer lights harness

Question, How about the ground wire off that pigtail? Also, on the O3 connection, what size fuse? Mine has a 30 amp????? Seems large?

Install is a breeze. The three parts install as follows.

1. The fuse block installs on the positive battery terminal and plugs into the receptacle that is hiding on the driver’s side of the battery (between the battery and the fender). You will need to remove the battery clamp and slide the battery away from the fender a few inches.
2. The flat black box with the 9 pin receptacle installs behind the drivers side taillight using the predrilled hole in the metal. Plug that 9 pin receptacle into the existing 9 pin wire harness at the base if the taillight.
3. Part three plugs into that 6 pin receptacle that hangs down between your spare tire and rear bumper. It converts Toyota’s crazy 6 pin receptacle to a standard flat 4 pin.

No wires to cut and no holes to drill overall a very easy install. Hope that helps.

30 amp fuse for what? Attached to the positive battery post, most of us have a fuse holder capable of carrying 20 amps, a label saying, "Don't exceed a 15 amp fuse," and actually a 10 amp fuse inside the holder. It works fine. Of course, the purpose of the fuse is to keep the wires from burning. If you have a 30 amp fuse, you'd better have #10 gauge wire.

If you have a trailer with electric brakes, the only safe way to run the negative wire is a #10 wire from the 7-pin connector all the way back to the battery negative terminal. Grounding the negative wire to the truck's chassis isn't as safe, and with brakes, you really don't want anything to go wrong.
