I got the old batteries out and messed up my cables ...so now I dont know which ones attached where....
I got the parallel circuit connection understood...but I still have my hydralic jack cable as well as others that I have NO CLUE what they are for....
and yes guys you will like this statement!...this is why this woman does not do these things...why oh why did I not label them!
Well without looking at yours it will be hard to tell every wire for sure. Maybe telling us what brand trailer you have will be a good start.
With my trailer I have a few small gauge wires that run to the hot side of the battery and the hydro jack cable runs to the hot and neg side. Just follow the larger cables and one should hook to the trailer or jack frame and the other will run to a electric motor located on the jack.
Mine has the jack running to one battery and main trailer power running to the other but also hook paralled(spell check?) then the 3 or 4 small wires are run to one of the batteries.
Hope this helps. Don't forget to list you trailer brand and someone else could jump in too.

Thanks Hog...I have a 06 Cimarron 3h with and Outlaw conversion package....
Ok, What I would do to make sure is call Outlaw Conversions and the guys there can tell you exactly what goes where. They might even be able to fax you a diagram to help show you. Outlaw is really good about keeping track of what they install and how it is hooked up on trailers and the customer service is outstanding!

Going by memory since I am not looking at mine right this minute...Hydraulic jack should have a positive and a negative that go to one battery. If you have the other main wires hooked up, you should be able to trace and make sure nothing else grounds to the frame right there, but they all should be leads off of the positive of the other battery. That is how mine is.

OOOPPPPPSSSSS It's a JAG Conversion package! Man these senior moments are killing me!
I'm not sure if they are still around or not I did find their number still listed on HTW. 888-229-7763 also I found 2 Cimmarron dealers listed for OK that showed to use Jag Conversions. If the conversion company is no longer you might call the dealer.
