Four pin plug in to 11 pin plug (pic)

[wilfreeman]

I found a spare vehicle side plug in my parts trailer, so I am going to go ahead and make up a semi permanent 4 wire --> military plug. Thanks for all the info Tim

I tried my new wiring harness out today. I ended up using the butte connector to military plug pin method, as the 2 military vehicle side plugs I had were too far gone. The turn signals were great, but the parking and brake lights were very dim - too dim to use safely. I know it is supposed to be for temporary use, but I just went ahead and used the towing lights instead. The trailer side plug I used was an old one, so I'm not ruling out bad wiring, plus I've been sick the last 5 days, so I'm not ruling out user error! I'll try it again tomorrow if it's nice outside. I still want to mount a military (vehicle side) plug in my bumper and the pintle where the license plate is.

Trailer wiring

Got a question about the wiring for a trailer. I got another MEP-003A on a trailer this week and need to go pick it up at Meade. Got the pintle hitch already. My assumption is that the wiring for all trailers is the same as I have been reading in this thread, whether its a generator or an 1102. Am I correct? Want to make up an adapter to my 7 pin rv connector on my truck and have an extra plug ready to go with the wires and bullet connectors. Any help will be appreciated.

how bright the existing military tail lights are will depend on weather the trailer has bulbs, as most do, or led's. The military led's work on 10 to 30 volts.
