7 pin plug

Original plug on my 17x was ran over and all wires were broke but the brown and yellow. Hooked up to my Tahoe and the running lights worked. Replaced the 7 pin plug and now none of the lights or electrical brakes work not is the battery being charged. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Check the fuses in your Tahoe. I jackknifed a trailer a few winters ago. Afterwards one of the turn signals would not work, which I narrowed down to at the 7 pin. The turn signals on the truck worked just fine. I would have never guessed a blown fuse under the hood. Just the one turn signal on the trailer did not work.

Do not use this diagram. It is not correct. Think about it....there is no fog light connection on a travel trailer. The other connections are incorrect as well.

ingie has the correct diagram.

Those wires are color for color so hook'em back together. ETRAILER has a repacement 7-way cable with the plug already on it offered in two lengths.

These terminate into a metal junction box under the trailer near the trailer tongue. The newer truck lines are also fused under the hood of the truck it seems. Sounds like you are miswired. When you turn the plug upside down the diagrams get reversed haha...

Etrailer has a nice install video that might be helpful



Also the RV trailers use the BLADE TYPE connectors and plugs - Not the PIN TYPE.



Just my thoughts

AL Gore is certainly the father of the internet. Where did I learn that - The internet of course...
Thanks for the chuckle this morning...

I ordered a cable set from ETRAILER for one of my similar mistakes and got just the right thing... I elected to get a new cable set instead of rewiring a new plug on the end of the cable. I needed a long cable anyway... The wire colors sometimes differs too depending who the cable manf is I guess...

A digital VOM multimeter really helps here...
