Hi,
I've got two different 7-pin connectors and a cable that converts them...
...and my brake controller tells me I have a short and/or and Overload condition when I'm braking. Any ideas would be appreciated. ...and I have no back-up lights (though the *bulbs* are fine.)
I was trying to eliminate the cable, but I can't even tell how it is supposed to be wired...
I've attached a drawing of the "non-standard" trailer end (appears to be the "the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) type of 7-pole plug set. This plug has 6 round contacts surrounding the center pin." (
http://www.rverscorner.com/wiring/7pole.html) connection of the cable. The numbers are arbitrary, but the colors in the holes are the same as the wires attached to that hole on my cable... The other end is the standard 7-wire connector, but I've shown the cable-to-connector colors as my cable is wired...which aren't the same as the standard...
So. If someone could tell me what color should go where on both ends, or what to change on one end to make it work, or that it *is* right (though ugly) and I should look at something else for help, I'd truly appreciate it.
Bob
