I agree. I was looking for backup light but didnt see actual led's in there. It is the round plug that has a converter I guess that changes it to a flat 4 plug if that makes sense?That seems odd that every thing but the running would work...are you using the big round factory plug or is it converted? I rewired my entire 622 and now have red stop, yellow turn and even have white reverse lights..
Just to be clear, the trailer you got has a 9 pin round connector on it with an adapter harness that converts to flat 4 pin, right? If so, are the brake lights and the turn signal lights both on the red brake lights, or do you have amber turn signal lights? If the latter, I think the converter harness is wired incorrectly. With a 4 wire flat connector you cannot use amber turn signals.
OK, good. Thanks. With the flat 4 you have ground, right tail/brake, left tail/brake, and running lights. Here's a diagram of the standard setup for 4 flat. What they show as the left and right turn are also brake.View attachment 131724
Those are the plugs on trailer, the round and the 4 pin flat connecter that is plugged into the round connector.
The turn signals are red and are basically the ones that integrates into the rear taillights. If you need a pic of those I can post them up. But they are the same as the back tailights of the Spyder RT.
I dont have a hitch or the wiring yet. I had it plugged into my truck to test the lights. I was waiting on the Spyder wiring to see if I needed something special/different.

Ok, thanks. Is there a 5 pin converter for the trailer that I could replace where the 4 pin converter is now? Would like the side yellow and red marker lights to be turn signals as well.OK, good. Thanks. With the flat 4 you have ground, right tail/brake, left tail/brake, and running lights. Here's a diagram of the standard setup for 4 flat.

When you're testing apply +12v to pin 2 and ground to 1. If you don't see running lights on in the tail/brake light unit then there is a broken wire, a corroded connection, or the 9 to 4 is miswired. If your car or pickup has a flat four connector then plug the trailer into it. You should see everything working correctly. With the flat four connector the amber turn signals will not work.
Depending on what you do for a bike side harness and isolator you can have either 4 wire or 5 wire. 5 wire will let you have amber turn signals but the 4 to 9 converter harness will have to be modified.
What I would do is look closely and see which adapter wires connect to which trailer wires through the connector. Then cut the 9 pin connector off each harness and splice the wires together directly. You really don't need to have the 9 pin round connector in the wiring.
Thanks for the reply. My question is that I have ordered the show chrome hitch and 5 pin wiring harness from them, it there a way to get the side marker lights to be turn signals as well.
Yep, 24 years as a UH-60 Blackhawk Crewchief, just retired 6 months ago. If i was back at work we have the little plastic pin tools, the job would be super easy. But since Im no where living close to my old job, makes it hard. And when I walk into the auto parts store and ask about cannon plugs and electrical pin removal/install tool, I get a deer in the headlight look.
Thanks, i do have that diagram. Now I just need to get the pin back in there. Really don't want to spend $140 on a new adapter.
Thanks, i have been trying to look for one just in case I cant get the pin back in.
