I replaced my damaged 7-way cable with a new one from ETRAILER com. They have two length sizes as I recall... My cable got pinched somehow and wiring was showing through the wire cover. Everything was all still working just showing a bunch of the inside cable wiring
Mine terminates into an electrical junction box just under my trailer box. Mine uses the large yellow twist-on connectors and it was wire color for wire color. Easy hookup...
When I get ready for a trip I always plug in my 7-way cable and do a SAFETY light check walk-around the trailer with my truck flashers 'ON'. I most often squirt some WD40 into the plug area and move around the plug alittle before I latch down the locking lid... This cleans off my connections somewhat...
My pull-out in my neighborhood brings me too a stop sign inside our housing area and I always stop here using the finger knobs on the trailer electric brakes to stop (Not the truck foot pedal)... Sort of my final initial checks before hitting the road...
