Calling all experts.....  Whats the trick or is there a link to a website... We are making a cord to fit from the Pete to the Logan while our pickup is down.  The Kingpin hitch was no problem, But the lights are trickier.  What additional parts will I need besides the Plugs and 7 wire cord?

 

Thanks Bunches in advance

You might need to wire your trailer plug off of the lights at the back of the tractor rather than using the existing trailer plug at the back of the cab. The reason for this is many horse trailers use the same lights for brake lights and turn signals, while most semi-trailers have separate brake lights and turn signal lights. If your horse trailer has separate brake and turn lights, then this wouldn't be an issue.

I did mine just like Windy said to, wire your lights, turn signals off of your rear truck lights. I wired my electric brake controller from the wire by the brake pedal and the controller works as it should.
