Lost a wire on the way home

[ImagesThatSing]

I noticed a brown wire just dangling after the second axle toward the back of my travel trailer when I checked for damage after running over a piece of rolled steel.



Anyone know where I might get a wiring diagram for a 2000 27RK Dutchmen travel tailer with a large slide?



I don't know where it goes or what it does, but I am going to wrap it up tonight, leave it till this weekend (I have checked to see all brake and directional lights work) and then attempt to find out what isn't working, or what gives it juice.



Any direction toward schematics or help would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you

fine fine TDR folks

Ron,



Has backup lights been added to the trailer? Just a thought.



Have you tried all the lights, pump, breakaway safety system?

If the thing is wired according to code and nothing extra has been added the brown wire should power up your running/ taillights!

Running Lights...that give me a great start

Nothing electrical has been added so that is probably it. Now I need to know where the hanging wire hooks up. There is (at first glance) no apparant place to hook it up. The end looks just like when you strip a wire, and it is not bent or has any marks of being "clamped or crimped" by a screw or crimping point.



I could sure use a wiring diagram. It looks like it will reach the collective set of wires that goes up and into the trailer at about the point where the fuse panel/charger etc board is. So maybe I can look there, although all the fuses I thought were for inside operations like the pump/liquid levelsensors/ radio system/co2 sensing and battery level sensing systems and the like. Hmmm.



This is most helpful to begin looking, MMeier,

Kudos to You!

GS, first off do all your running lights work? If not this is where it probably goes. Be sure to check all the way around the trailer, don't figure just because the lights on the front side of the trailer work the ones out back do also. Made that mistake once before! Check it out and see how it goes. Mark

Trailer stored until Friday when we go back up

I am going to do the check & the fix this weekend when we go up in the mountains again. I am too busy to do it now, but hoping for all the advice and ideas and if possible a wiring diagram. I will have time to take my time then. . thanks to all
