Have your crew chief look at it.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Or you can buy a cheap flat 4, and a complete 3-pin weatherpack connector (1 male end, 1 female end) and build your own adapter that will plug in right where the military trailer plug connects to the wiring harness. You can switch between military and civilian wiring in about 30 seconds.
I just re-did all the lights on my M101A2 trailer with the civi style lights. I did so because I wanted to be able to lend the trailer to friends and not have to worry about them trying to wire in some temporary lights. Anyhow I went ahead and left all my military trailer lights on my M1009 but I also went ahead and got one of those quick plugs that has been talked about earlier from NAPA. I plugged it into the driver's side and all the running lights work, the driver's side turn signal and brake light. Nothing else does though!
So how are you guys wiring that jumper? Just a wire from the passenger side and into the wire over on the trailer plug? I'm tempted to take the thing back as much as it cost me ($16). Just use a universal mount.
You need to buy the one for the 83... I think my kit said it was for 83 to 67...The "T" connectors I got from NAPA didnt look anything like what was under my truck. Looks like I'll be splicing some wires tonight after work.
I used jmassenga's technique, (from post #20), and made an adapter that plugs into the factory harness. Then I replaced the military receptacle with a 7-pin & 4-pin one from the parts store. I sprayed with with Rapco 383 to match. Works great and looks right!Or you can buy a cheap flat 4, and a complete 3-pin weatherpack connector (1 male end, 1 female end) and build your own adapter that will plug in right where the military trailer plug connects to the wiring harness.

They are just 3-pin Weather Pack connectors, one male one female. Some autoparts stores carry them as pigtails.Me too. On post 20 I wish there was some part #'s to make sure to get the right connectors.
