Help Wiring Tri Glide Trike Trailer
I have a 2014 Harley Davidson Tri Glide Trike I sure could use some help get my little motorcycle tent trailer wired up? I've been working on it for the last two days and just can't seem to get it figured out.
I'm rewiring the plug on the trailer which is a 1986 H & M Manufacturing tent trailer or Backyard Bungalow that was a 6-wire flat to a 5 wire. I went White to White, Brown to Brown & Yellow, Green to Green, Yellow to Blue, I have a Black wire & left on the trailer.
Running lights work, turn signals work, it also has a cigarette lighter plug inside for power & switch to turn on back up lights when camping that work with the yellow wire from the trailer hooked up to the brown wire of the plug. When I had yellow to yellow and blue to blue then the left turn signal wouldn't work... I've been battling it for 2- days any help would be appreciated
The white wire is the ground. The black wire on the the trailer isn't hooked up & not sure what it does yet. I've tried grounding it( no change) tired (power to it) nothing..
For the life of me I can't get the brake lights to work,
I just can't figure out why I don't have brake lights when everything else works. I have all running lights and turn signals. I've checked all bulbs, pulled off both lens assy from the trailer to be sure no lose connections or corrosion.... 2- days of hunting with my volt meter... Frustrated... I've got the can bus single decoder on red, but have tried green and yellow too with no difference.bI can't get power to the blue wire no matter what I do.
I ordered the three piece wiring kit for the bike from Rivco. I believe everything at the bike is working correctly. This is what is installed on the bike. Trailer wiring sub harness, Isolator, and Single decoder Can bus trailer wiring system....

problems with brake lights on my little trailer because of the same issues The trailer and bike brake wires should be the blue I think, not sure about the black could it be the hot for the cig lighter. The kit you got from Rivco does it plug in under the seat to the rear wiring harness. I had some issues with the brake lights on my little trailer and if I remember correctly it was in the blue wire system but that has been a few yearsa ago. sorry I couldn't be more help wiring issues should be simple but not always the case.
