It's the same on both sides, so white to white and black to black They get hit by road debris etc, and sometimes pull loose. ------------- |

Also suggest you replace the tie wraps with a heavier grade, after your repairs. Some heavy duty tie wraps will give you more confidence in the hook up. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

thanks for the reply furpod, I wish it was that simple. I have 2 green wires coming out of the passenger side brake back plate and 1 white wire with a black stripe and a black wire with 2 white stripes that I need to connect to the green wires... the tt is a 2015 rp178... very confusing... I thought of connecting them up to see what would happen but I'm not sure if that would cause more problems Mike that is what I intended to do, thanks for the encouragement... ------------- Jim we are semi-retired happy campers 2015 R-pod rp 178 2015 frontier club cab v6 Jim n Kathy Charlie girl a wacky jack russel |

It's actually a simple electromagnet..I do not believe they are current dependent. ie: the +/- don't matter, that's why both wires are the same color. ------------- |

Hey y'all, thank you for your help and suggestions. talked to a service tech where I bought the TT, it doesn't make any difference which wire goes where. Furpod you had it right - good job. got the wires connected and we are ready to travel. this is a great forum and a great resource, thank you.
