So I'm getting ready for a big move (cali to michigan) in my FJ and am going to be towing a little utility trailer. I went out today to make sure the trailer lights work (should have done this sooner) and discovered that the relay/adapter where the left turn, right turn and brake go in, and come out again as two wires isn't working. Does anyone know if there is a way that this relay can be bipassed or eliminated? Or can I put on a 5 prong wiring harness instead? I'm hoping to leave tomorrow so any help would be really really appreciated. Thanks, Rowan.

Best thing to do is just get another one for $15 at Walmart or Tractor Supply and fix it right. Having properly working trailer lights is a good thing IMHO...

There is a way to do it, but it is not fast or simple. I figured out how to do it because I've never had one of those units last more than a year. While I was at it I disassociated all of the trailer light loads from the tow rig's fuses. I just used it for the first time this weekend and I couldn't be happier with how it works.

For what you need I concur with the advice above, just go get another one.
