Questions & Answers
The connectors are a push type where the wire sits on or goes around the wire and when the cover is screwed down, the wire is pushed down into the split on connector, which separates the wire and makes contact. There is one connector for each of the These worked very well for me and I have two of them. A rip caused it to be destroyed and need to be replaced
I think the gauge ranges from 12 to 14 in a standard car or trailer wire

A male connector on the plug of my Toyota truck broke off in the U-shape, so I bought this replacement plug The trailer I am towing has a tow connector. The wire connection to this plug is supposed to be done by pushing wires that have not been stripped down into vee-shaped connectors In this procedure, four flat metal prongs are shaped into slots and a clamping plate is screwed down over prongs should be able to penetrate the insulation and make contact with the wires with the slots. As I was cutting through the insulation on the wires from the truck's harness with a utility knife, I came across a few little pieces of insulation hanging on by a thread, meaning the insulation could easily strip and the wires would fall out of the vees. I attempted to counter that by spreading clear silicone over the wires at the exit point in hopes that it would help to hold them tightly in place. The hex nuts on the back of the connector are supposed to be held in place by hex pockets in the plastic, but a very small amount of torque on the screws that hold the clamping plate on will strip out the hex pocket, which will release the nuts. In my opinion, you should give this connector one star, especially if you love the little red LED lights that let you know you are connected.
It had LEDs that I liked. It's not critically important, but they are a nice touch. It was disappointing to find that the wiring from the vehicle needed to be spliced into the connector in a way that was difficult. When installing, it holds the wires loosely (you get two or three in position, try for the next, but one You might be surprised how annoyed YOU become if you repeat that a dozen times). Furthermore, I believed that the wire would become much more secure after the top was screwed on. The answer is yes, but I glued silicone on the back so that I would feel more confident that the wires would stay in place. I found that the wires pull out of the connector WAY too easily for my comfort level. As for the mounting holes to connect the connector to the vehicle, I wasn't a big fan. The new connector's hole pattern was different from the one in my old vehicle, so I had to drill a new hole in the vehicle structure. If this came with a very basic adapter, that would have been nice. In the bottom-left corner The book was OK, but had some flaws. I gave it two out of five stars, but if I had this option, I would give it three out of five. Rather than getting another one like this, I will probably shop around if I ever need to buy another one. It would not be recommended, but I would not say to avoid it at all costs.
I am very happy with it. I really like how easy this is My method was to remove part of the coating on the wires in order to get a better connection to the terminal forks, then crimp them There was a lot of dielectric grease added, and it was closed I love it because it's so easy to make and so good.
I would only disagree with what others have stated Wire can be a little challenging to get to make a connection. Wire of 16 gauge had to be bent in the clamping 'V' slightly since it was 16 gauge. Placing the wire over the 'V' and pushing it into it is the easiest and quickest way to make a It is a secure and stable program once it is installed.
Despite being easy to install, it works without any issues. However, the ground pin bent when the UHaul agent tried to remove the cap for the first time. I'm not certain how well a unit like this will hold up over time. The use of this product is only recommended on an occasional basis.
There are a lot of clunky parts in it. Likewise, the edges of the wires where you push them down weren't sharp enough to cut through the plastic, and the metal was too soft and spread out. I had to use pliers to squeeze the contacts closer together, then strip out my wires again and retry. My converter box had died, not my connections. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the converter box because of my connection issues. UHaul provided a new converter box and tail package that I replaced this whole thing with.
This plug looks nice, and the lights on it look good when used on a back light hitch, however, the ground wire was not crimped tight during manufacturing, as described in other reviews, this is an ongoing I was able to connect the first time, but I couldn't reconnect on my second attempt. This product was thrown into the garbage can.
AutoZone sells a much better product.
