Reese Towpower 78115 Insta-Plug Trailer End Connector with LED Circuit Tester (4 Wire Flat)

The "Trailer End" of this product did not meet my expectations and I wish I would not have purchased it. In order to rewire a trailer, I bought this as part of the electrical system. I discovered the problem was with the plug after several hours of troubleshooting. I found 11 on the vehicle's side of the plug for the running lights. When on, there are 58 volts between brown and white. Putting my multi-meter there was In the stubs of the Reese Towpower plug I received, there was one meter. It operates at a voltage of five There was simply not enough power to run the lights with that. In the event that you receive this, the first thing you should do is take a multivitamin Firstly, read what your vehicle is being output, and then plug in this guy, and connect the leads to the appropriate stub thingies, and then you can work on connecting your wires. Once you are done with that, you can start to think about wiring. In addition, you should also beware that it is kind of a hassle to get the plug open again once it is shut. Due to this omission, I would test all things before they are closed without the plug thingy closed. It should be pretty easy to pry it open if you decide to close it and later decide that you want it back open, since the flat surface of a scraper or drywall tool will work pretty well to pry it A return will be made to Amazon for this item.

This product is very well made, and I must admit that. A better connection than the OEM connector, the cable has a nice solid feel, and the connection fits perfectly. Despite this, however There was no power coming through the trailer power wires, regardless of what I tried to do. It turned out that the quick splice could not cut through the insulation because it was too sharp and it could not make contact. I tried stripping the wires and manually connecting the wires but despite the leds lighting up no electricity flowed. The problem with that is that I would have had to solder the connections in place in order to keep them in place, which defeats the Unfortunately, I haven't been able to succeed like others have.

There is a wiring problem with this product, which appears to be of high quality. Sometimes the lights work, sometimes not, because there are intermittent breaks in the wire that supply the trailer running lights. I have so far not encountered any problems with the turning signal or brake lights. There is a possibility of having to disassemble the plug and solder the wires to connectors as other reviewers have indicated. When the weather is cold, plastic is very stiff and might be difficult to disassemble. This is an issue with the rubber terminal cover that is connected to the plug body. I am predicting that it will be torn off in use, but we will have to wait and see. Taiwan is the country of origin of the product.

The plug looks good, but I'm not sure whether I will use it on Instagram. I think part of the problem could be explained by the poor quality wiring harness I got from another vendor in addition to the plug. Upon contact with the wire insulation the metal in the plug that is supposed to puncture it did not cause any damage, so contact was not possible. A reviewer suggested stripping the ends and soldering them. I will do the same.

It comes in at a solid "meh" in my book, but I'm not sure what stretch is in the rating. In my opinion, the function test is at best a gimmick, since you still need a second person to test.

You will see that there are other people who solder this in when reading the reviews. The product was fully aware of this before I purchased it. There is a reason for the 3-star review the Instagram plug is listed as the reason. There would be no problem if the whole word "instant" were used. As such, mine was soldered in and I planned to do that from the beginning. If it had been listed as a solder in type I would have given it a 5-star rating.

Replaced it with a good one and it has lights. You will need to cut off your old plug, but make sure your new plug has enough wires to match. I had a little difficulty getting the wires connected when I smashed it. Installation of the two screws can be assisted by using pliers.

I replaced the old plug without any difficulty. Wires do not need to be stripped. I had no problems with it. As soon as I get an update on the durability of the product, I will write a review.
