  • In this episode I show how I fit the trailer light socked to the coupler plate. I don't like to drill holes in the gorgeous paintwork. This socket is included in the Trailer Light Set.

    Teri, that's a bluddy great idea!!💡 I was just thinking about that very thing. My Trailer Light Kits arrived today - as well as my Trailers!! 😁
    I'm going to have to cut the plug off of the Truck end.... Because I'm using Beier USM RC-2s. So I also need to figure out WHAT color Wires go to what lights. 😖 Do you know?
    Right, I wanted to mount the Plug NOT on the Sleeper Body, but didn't figure out where.
    You just sorted that for me!! Thank you so much! 😊🍺 I don't have remote Coupler, so my Coupler Latch plate is a perfect spot.
    Seriously, thank you!!! 👍👍☺ I've gotten so many good ideas from you so far. I've given you credit on my Videos. 😉

      Wire Colours in the Tamiya Trailer Lights wire are as follows...
      Left Indicator - Brown (+) Red (-)
      Right Indicator - Orange (+) Yellow (-)
      Stop/Tail - Green (+) Blue (-)
      the lead which plugs into J28 is (from left to right)...
      1. Brown +
      2. Red -
      3. Orange +
      4. Yellow -
      5. Green +
      6. Blue -

      @@CarminesRCTipsandTricks I have a note book which I write everything in... I identified the wires in the trailer lights when I was asked to swap the stock LEDs to 7 chamber euro style lights.

      @@TeriWilde SUCH A SIMPLE IDEA 💡
      You'd think I would have been doing that for years... Oh wait! I did. When I was a Repair Shop General Manager.
      Yet I never thought of doing it for my Hobbies. 😖
      Right, chalk up one more "Teri Idea" for my Trucks!! 😊
      I think I've mentioned that I've been in the Hobby since 1983.... But this is my first Big Rig Build. And I'm STARTING with a Beier!! Somebody hit me in the head. 😳

    if you have used the screw driver when putting in the speaker or the motor or vibe motor that could magnetize you screwdrive. nut a great idea for the trailer plug wished i thought of that as i filled in the holes on my cab but ended up placing the plug where it supposed to go but i just used a body reamer to make the hole .

      I first put the trailer plug there in my Rubber Duck MACK so I thought I'd do it again 😎

    Hi Teri I have installed the plug you have just showed me but the trailer Iight plug catches on the the trailer when pushed into the coupler. Do you know why that is?

    • @TeriWilde
      @TeriWilde  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's designed to fit into the socket when mounted to the back of the cab, I put it in the chassis frame because I prefer it there but I do have to shave the lump off the top of the plug so it doesn't catch the trailer.

    Yes we do like your videos. Have you tried to fit wireless trailer lights? With a receiver and battery box on the trailer..

    • @TeriWilde
      @TeriWilde  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have SS-Tronix wireless connection in my W900 Snowman truck and Servonaut Air-U/AMO in another... it's rare I use the couple/uncouple so it's not worth the cost of fitting them in a lot of cases... I like to run with trailer rather than bob tailing...
      I will have to demo the wire kits I've already installed in my other builds 😎

      I understand THAT! Hopefully not too much longer... your passion is obvious when you're building/modifying!
