This is for those who pull a trailer with your Stallion trike

[Backdraft]

Not sure if I have a bad trailer 6 prong connector on my trike. I checked all the contacts in my plug and all work except the brake contact. Everything works on the trike but when it comes to the trailer plug, I have no power to the brake contact in the 6 prong plug, next to the trailer hitch.

Has anyone had this issue? How did you fix it? Where do I need to look?

Thanks in advance

I pull a Bushtec with mine and had a lot of trouble. Finally just took it to a u haul place and had them re-do everything. Cost me a hundred but now every thing works great and has for 3 years now.<br />

That is good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think of u-haul.

Found out yesterday that with the Stallion you have to buy a tail light converter to run lights to a trailer. No way around it.

Hope this helps

<i>I pull a trailer and what I had to do was change the pig tail on the Stallion to a six prong. I found a hot wire for the brake light on the Stallion and then found the wire for the trailer brake light. My trailer was shipped to me without a pig tail for lights because of the different wiring on bikes either five or six prong. It wasn't very hard at the time but at least I have brake lights on the trailer now. I did not use a converter on my Stallion.</i>

I have an '08, it came from the factory with a standard flat 4 prong connector. Apparently, there is a converter in the system, since the Stallion has seperate brake/turn signals.

My '09 has a flat 4 prong and all the lights work good for me and at least 4 others I have rode with that pull trailers or have a rack with lights as I do. I didn't know TMS put a six prong plug on the Stallion as that usually means trailer brakes ??<br />

It would depend on your trailer and how it's wired/designed to operate. If your trailer has the turn signals separate from the brake lights, this is correct. Stallion is basically a Ford Ranger with the wiring; which uses a flat 4 like most other vehicles do. A flat 4 "combines" your turn signal into your brake lights also.

A round 6 pin connector is designed to create a separate "signal" for each wire and add a 12V aux in most cases (some use this for a charging port inside the trailer, etc as it's usually on a fuse all it's own). To add a round 6 pin on a vehicle with a flat 4 you have to do one of 2 things. Either run "new" wires to the connector for your brake, and turn signals, or use a converter box.
