Connecting tow line battery charger
My tow battery charger failed. I purchased a new Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles. It comes with a red wire to connect from the six pin connector to a circuit breaker installed on the tow vehicle and then connects to the battery on the car. My old system (different manufacturer)had the red wire (middle pin on connector provides power from motorhome to tow vehicle) and a black wire that was connected to the ground on the connector. I did not install the original so just curious - can I use the original red wire since it is already connected and if I can what should I do with the black wire? The other option would be to take out all the previous wiring and rerun the new red wire? Just seems like I could use the original red wire. Suggestions?
I have a Blue Ox 6 way trailer connection - I have checked and the following is accurate. Brown - tail lights, Green - right turn, Yellow left turn, Blue - Brake power, Red - battery hot lead and White - Ground - However I have a black wire connected to ground pin and goes to the old charging device
