Cut trailer wiring

[gvfc2]

I have a 1987 ford bronco with a 5.0 v8 engine. The trailer wiring is cut and just hanging there. I am getting a trailer so i need to wire in a new connector. How would i go about doing this?

Go to Walmart, Harbor freight, Etc. buy a trailer wiring kit and follow the instructions. It's pretty simple.

Good Luck

What are these 3 connectors? They go to the trailer connector aswell.

Ron is right.., it's not difficult however, the way yours is butchered up by the PO ...., you may be better served

if you go to an electrical shop or U-haul (they do hitch/wiring).

Also, it's best to have the trailer there as well. It's "MALE" plug-in end needs to match the "FEMALE" end

on your truck. (assuming the trailer still has one on it)

In some cases, there's adaptors.

Point being.., the time, expense hooking up what's there may be a waste if they don't match.

The female receiver-plug on the truck looks OK, just needs cleaning up. Along those lines, wash-n-wipe

down all those wires so whoever does the work will have a clean start.

Likely need wire crimpers, strippers, wire end connectors,  & a volt meter.  In some cases, a soldering iron &

shrink tubing.

A shop may let you watch so you'll know how in the future.

Good luck, have fun with it,

The trailer connecter on the truck is a square connector. it seems all i would have to do is get an adapter to get those 3 connectors into a 4 flat connector.
