I'm having a heck of a time changing the Hella style male plug on the Compact. What on gods green earth it the correct wiring???

I know the Blue is the gound but I dont know (and I tried everything) where the double Red, the double Black, the single White and the Single Grey go??

Please help.

I changed mine but cant remember what was what ? I just used a probe tester for hot ?

I know the wiring is a bit screwy as I had to redo some of mine and I dont think its the same on the compact as it was on the conquest

Did you ever figure this out? I will be doing mine soon.

what I did

This is what I did.

I cut open the trailer end plug and chased down what each wire did, matched them to the 4 wire plug for my truck.
On the trailer: On the truck 4 wire plug
white wire (right blinker) green wire
Blue wire (brake) left unplugged (see below)
Red wire (running lights) brown wire
there is a weird jumper inside the plug
gray wire (left blinker) yellow
black wire white wire

There were a couple of wires I had to put together on the trailer so use larger terminals or whatever wire supplies needed too make them fit...

The only other change was in the back, using a small screw driver I switched the spades inside the factory plug going to the red lights in the rear (un-did the blue and replaced with the gray and white wire, one each side)
this does not use the yellow lenses at all. I plan to replace them with red and tap into the rear side running light for power.


To test, I ran jumpers from the trailer's battery... just remember to test the blinkers, you have to touch/untouch/touch/etc. the flasher part is in the truck. This is on a Toyota, but I think the 4 wire YBGW is standard.

Sweet. Thanks I am looking forward to seeing this trailer in person. Right now I just see that my money is gone.

HUGE BREAKTHRU I WIRING SCHEMATIC!!!!

For those of you that have Conquerors, I finally got the schematic (after 9 months) from Mega Manufacturing.

We would have NEVER figured this out on our own.

Two wires feed the battery charging system and one of those wires to the negative terminal on the battery serves as the Earth for the lights.

Here is what they sent me.

Hope this helps everyone!!
Thanks
Dendy

Thanks for posting this up. I'll be making good use of it this weekend when I swap out the connector for a USA RV type on the Compact I just got.

Just an update the two red wires on the trailer are the running lights they should go to the green on the vehicle.

Blue on the trailer is the charge wire and should go to the black

Both Blacks on the trailer are grounds and go to the white on the vehicle

grey and white are turn and brakes on the trailer and I dont remember which color goes to what but should be easy to figure out. Hopefully you have the same colors to work with, if not have fun.

Thanks!

I got it mostly sorted before our test run last weekend and all my lights work as expected now.

The blue being the charge line makes sense. Has anyone actually connected a charge circuit to the vehicle?

One of the black wires at the connect has no continuity to ground. Is this possibly the ground for the on-board isolator?

I just put both blacks together and that seems to work out, I would like to do a charge wire but I have not hooled it up to the Jeep yet. Between the Jeep repairs, Trailer stuff, Home remodel and trying to do a yard I am running out of time to do the things that I want to do. It will probably be a good winter project for me.

I have the setup for a charge unit
I will be using large cable :) not the small stuff and use anderson plugs to connect it up with a national luna dual battery kit

so wire to the back of the rig and a plug then on the trailer up to the front near the hitch
then make a length of cable to connect the two !

my ideas really came from talking to some battery experts about larger wire and charge efficiency etc..
and a ton from guys in SA and OZ
the reasons they state and I think are good

never use a 7 type plug for charging and lights
if you get a ground prob you cant charge or use lights properly ? so better have one or the other
the idea of a pigtail type connector between the trailer and rig is if it gets snagged it can pull out with out ripping out stuff

just seems like good thinking to separate the two :) so decided to go that route :)
