How to use

Insert the adapter's 13-pin plug into the vehicle's 13-pin socket until it seats securely, then connect the 7-pin plug end to the trailer's 7-pin socket. Check that all lights on the trailer respond correctly: tail lights, brake lights and turn signals. If any lamp does not operate, inspect the contacts for corrosion or dirt and ensure both connectors are fully engaged. Remove the adapter by pulling it straight out from the vehicle socket when not in use.

Recommendations

Before each use, visually inspect the adapter contacts and connector housing for damage or contamination. Use dielectric grease on contacts if frequent exposure to moisture or salt is expected, and store the adapter in a dry place when not in use to prolong contact reliability.
