    Cool No Reverse or Signal lights on RT-622 Trailer - is this normal?

    Quick Question for the experts here - I just installed the trailer wiring harness for a 2019 Rt Limited that I purchased from our good friend Pierre at Spyderaccessories. I purchased a used 2013 RT-622 and when I plugged in the trailer, I noticed that there aren't reverse lights or signals lights on the trailer. Is this normal? Do these trailers have the "white" reverse & "yellow" signal lights? Any insight would be appreciated.

    Two separate parts to your question:

    (1) how many positions (pins) in the Spyder-to-trailer connector?

    (2) what country code is your trailer? US is combined brake/turn lamp. CAN is separate turn lamp. AUS is CAN with reverse lamp.

    The 2013 RT622 trailers do not have reverse lights or amber signal lights. The brake/turn/running lights are all the same. That's why you only have a square/flat four pin connector. The 2010 622 did have the separate turn signals and reverse lights and a nine-pin connector. I've owned a 2013 RT622 trailer for nine years.

    The 622 trailer does not have reverse lights. The 4 pin harness does not support those. You should have turn signals though. The reverse lights on the trailer are for matching appearance only.

    Ours here in Australia do come with the same tail-lights as the RT's do and include the Reverse Lights; they are wired up, we just need to find a wire to tap into to make them work.
