Trailer wiring

[vatreefarmer]

Had an intermittent issue with trailer lights, so I figured that while I'm troubleshooting it, now would be a great time to upgrade to LED. I'm contemplating replacing the wiring harness as well. But I've run into a few questions. Most of the 5-pole harnesses only have 4-5' blue wire lead. I think this is the lead to reverse/brake lockout. But I think this wire also must travel to the rear to illuminate the back-up light. Obviously I could run another wire from the reverse light to the brake actuator, but the whole purpose of re-wiring is to eliminate as many old/bad/ connections as possible, especially at the rear where the trailer takes a dunk. Am I missing something? Do I need to order a harness from BCB that has a full length reverse wire?


**Edit/update: As usual, BCB comes through! I called BCB and spoke w/Pete in the parts dept. He's gonna send me a new BCB harness WITH the additional lead needed for the reverse light (also cheaper than online trailer stores) and I'm certain this one will be up to BCB standards <br /><br />

BCB makes their own wiring harnesses for their boats and trailers. They have several jigs on the wall that match whatever they are needing at the time. It will be the best as always.
