trailer rebuild part two

[Huntindave McCann]

Now that the frame is welded and painted, it is time to make up a new wire harness.

All the connections are crimped, followed with silicone sealer and then heat shrinked on top of that. No worries about corrosion for some time to come.

The wires run up the center of the guide post and are pigtailed out to the top marker light and to the the rear tail/ brake and turn light. The aluminum channel is a sub base for the tail light to mount to.

End result is tail lights which are DOT approved and won't have to be unplugged each time the trailer gets backed into the water. Plus I'll better be able to see the trailer when backing up.

For comparison this is the old and the new.

Bill,

Thanks, the lights on top are marker lights that come on anytime the running lights are turned on. There are made by CE Smith. I purchased them on line from these folks but I'm sure there are other sources as well. The marker lights will not take the place of and are not DOT approved as tail lights. They will definitely help when backing up at night. All the new lighting is LED and sealed.
