Typically 4-way wiring consists of 18 and 16 gauge wires.

For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector # W787264.

The part # HM38138 uses 18 gauge for all wires but the white that uses 16 gauge.

I'd agree with you. What you describe is exactly how I would install it. You'll want to use a grommet on the hole you drill in the galvanized arm to protect the wires from rubbing against the metal. You will also probably have a heckuva time…

If LED lights are wired backwards they won't work and no damage would be done to them so it's possible your CE Smith Guide Ons part #CE27760 are wired backwards and you could simply reverse the wiring to get it to work again. With this kit…

The LED lights on the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons #CE27760 do not have separate wiring for only the red portion of the LED Cap Light #CE27656A. They are normally used to act as running lights to make maneuvering the trailer easier in low light…

Your Fulton XLT Winch #F99CR is going to require a Fulton Handle #F501109. You cannot use the DLB Series Brake Winch Ratcheting Handle #DL70347 as it does not have the same style rectangular opening as the Fulton.

I would go with a 3/8 inch diameter, like #39035. That should provide enough space for the wires and still give good coverage. This loom comes in a 10 foot length. If you needed less of expect that you might have other wiring to run with the existing…
