Urgent RTH. Trailer wiring.

[petrotk40]

Trying to rent a trailer but my harness has no power. Is there a fuse that controls that? There doesn't seem to be on in the fuse box diagram. Any other suggestions??

I guess it's my converter box... balls

Are you renting a trailer that requires the use of a 4 to 7 rv pinout?

If it does, the adapter may need to be grounded if the trailer or hitch's paint is new...not sure if this is your issue but I just had it last week

 

[petrotk40]

nope, it's a 4pin trailer. just a little uhaul

I used this to fix mine. It's basically a "Plug 'N Play" solution.

Does anyone know why it's showing different parts for 98-99 and 00 and up? Did anything change?

I read in another thread that something did change but I don't remember what

The link I posted above from etrailer.com was for a 2000 LC since the OP had a 2000 LC listed in the signature line. I would trust the etrailer website to ensure you get the right part delivered. I've been happy with all my etrailer.com transactions as they have a good website, fast shipping and good prices. I ordered the same converter for my 99 LC and added the 7pin harness and some other towing goodies to go with a brake controller installation. The new converter worked great for me as my factory one had sh*t the bed as well.

I have a couple of questions about installing the parts from etrailer. My oem wiring terminates here:

Is that what is supposed to be replaced? Where is the actual fried connector?

Also, this is what I got from etrailer:

Note: The dog and remote didn't come from etrailer.

Is what I got the correct thingy? Or is there a plug and play solution? What I have has the quick splicers so I can tap into the brake wires.

Thanks!

Can't see the one end of yours, but clinking the link above and looking at the picture, one end clearly has a plug.

 

[petrotk40]

Ya no plug. For some reason, the 2000 part on etrailer doesn't have a plug...

So if I replace from that plug in my first pic, it should fix the problem?

The "burnt up" part is the converter stuck to the fender inside the truck. It's behind the bottle jack and glued to the left fender under the plastic. It's a black plastic box bigger than your replacement.

All your work and splices should be inside the cabin of the truck.

 

[petrotk40]

So the best solution is to just splice in the part I have, not a plug and play deal?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Well, without a plug its kinda hard to plug and play.

 

[petrotk40]

Right I'm wondering if I need to return it and get a different shown in your post.

Does anyone have a pic of the oem box?

I have the factory tow package, so would something like this work? : http://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-...d+Cruiser/2001/118245.html?vehicleid=20012313

I'm guessing no since I need a new converter box.

Look here on your truck:

A pic of the Toyota box pulled from my truck next to the Hoppy unit I replaced it with.

If those don't answer your questions and get you rolling try a search.

 

[petrotk40]

Thanks man! I have read thru all the wiring threads and was still confused I guess. 4pin/7pin, oem, etrailer, plug n play, rewire...

 

[petrotk40]

This is the only box I see. It's being ds taillight.
