Correct connection and brake installation on the trailer

How to connect brakes to a trailer?

It is quite simple if the trailer was purchased immediately with the installed brake system and the correct connection of electronics. Then you need to connect only the socket with the plug connection of the car and all. According to the standards, there can be 7-pin and 13-pin connections. With regard to hand -made connection, it is more difficult here. 

must have a complete set of brake system:

• actually the brake;
• appropriate set of connection wires;
• brake pads, if not previously installed;
• Scheme of connection of contacts to the socket;
• socket 7-pin or 13-pin (European standards).

The most difficult thing in this process is the correct connection of power contacts. It is important to remember here that sockets or plugs (depending on the preliminary installation on the car) must meet the standards. In no case can a 13-pin socket be connected to a 7-pin fork or vice versa. In this case, you can only use a special adapter, but it is better to connect the appropriate element of the fork to the socket.
