ez connector

Anyone have any experience with this connector for their electrical connection on your trailer or toad? I am currently having problems with my 7-pin and 6-pin connections. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but I will enter my experience with EZ Connector anyway.

I also got aggravated with the usual plug setup. It was sometimes coming loose, so I invested (heavily I might add) in this new cable and connectors for my fiver. Seemed OK at first, then when hooking up I got NC errors sometimes until I went back and reinserted the plug.....sometimes a couple of times. It seems sensitive to the direction of rotation to line up the key way. Kind of a small problem. I wasn't gonna bellyache too much about that.

Then later came the serious problem which made me tear my hair out. If upon hooking up I tested the brakes without starting up the truck, the controller worked normally. As soon as I started up the truck...and about 3 or 4 seconds later I got NC and the brake controller would not actuate the brakes at all until I turned the truck off. Ain't that a kicker.

I tested and tested and tested, wiggled wires and wiggled wires, and did a lot of swearing. Then I just removed the EZ Connector and reinstalled my other standard type cable and connectors. Problem solved.

The EZ Connector seems like a well engineered thing, but as there ad says, "Big Plans Ruined By A Small Plug?"........ well our plans were ruined by their plug.

Did you take them apart and check for loose wires?
Opening the females might make the contacts looser causing intermittent operation.

The problem I am having is that both connectors have intermittent connection. When I connect my toad and check the lights sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If I wiggle one or both of the connectors they will work. I have cleaned, and applied die electric grease to both. Still no good. I'm concerned that when I get the connection spot just right and drive down the road I will lose the sweet spot and have no lights. There are no loose wires the problem is in the connector. I have also opened the pins in the 6 pin female side to help it make contact. There is not much that can be done to the 7 pin side.

I would not change it to one of these.

Clean up existing connector and find out what is causing the issue.
Are you using adapters? What is your issue?

Removed duplicate post.

I looked that connector up. It looks like a lot of expense and work to change it out.
By the time you unwire the old and rewire and mount the new not sure if you gain much of anything.

Seems like a decent product. I have no intention of buying one and rewiring my electrical outputs but it may be an easier connection for some.

I am also happy with my 7 pi. Full of dielectric grease, never a problem 8 years. I hope I didn't just jinx myself...

What problems are you having?
My 7 pin has been trouble free for 12 years except when a wire inside came off.
