4 way Wishbone Harnesses

These would be the harnesses used to rewire a standard trailer up to 30 feet. They are called wishbone harnesses because of the two brown (running) wires to go down each side of the trailer. We carry the harnesses in 15', 20', 25' and 30' harnesses.

There are still two browns to have running lights down both sides of the trailer, but also a blue wire that connects with the back-up lights to let the trailer know to release the brakes so that the brakes unlock properly and smoothly.
