  • Trailer Plugs - Wiring Configuration

    Hi All,

    We have just bought a caravan and went over to change the 7-pin round trailer plug to a 12-pin flat plug to match our 12-pin flat socket.

    As most of us are aware, the Australian Standards for the Wiring Configurations of 12-pin Trailer Plugs is as per listed below, with the #1 - #7 being the wiring configuration for 7-pin plugs.

    Upon opening the 7-pin plug on our new caravan, THE WIRING CONFIGURATION & COLOUR CODING WAS ALL WRONG (as per listed below).

    *** The colour coded wiring for #2 + #3 differed from what they are meant to be (the Australian Standards).
    *** The White wire for Earth was completely non-existent and was replaced with the use of 2x Black wires (1 thick wire + 1 thin wire)
    *** Although the correct colour coded wire (Blue) was in #5, again there was 2x wires, both in the same hole (1 thick wire + 1 thin wire)

    We matched up the colour coded wires to their respective Plugs as per the current 7-Pin Plug wiring with the following changes and exceptions.

    - The thin Black wire added to #3 for Earth and the thick Black wire added to #10, also for Earth.
    - We left the Orange thick wire in #2 disconnected from any pins
    - We lerft the Blue thick wire in #5 disconnected from any pins

    We then tested the Plugs with all Indicator and Stop Brake lights working normally.

    So for #1 - #7 pins, everything was connected with the exception of #2 being left disconnected for Reverse light.

    For pins #8 - #12, only #10 is connect for Earth with the thick Black wire.

    (1) Can someone please advise their thoughts on what / where the thick Orange wire should go? Should we plug that back into the empty pin #2 for Reverse lights as per the current 7-pin wiring on the caravan, or should this Orange wire be connected to #8 for Battery Supply?

    (2) What should we do with and/or where should we connect the 2nd thick Blue wire?

    *** It is determined that wiring for the Pins #8, #9, #11 + #12 are NON-EXISTENT ***

    (3) Can the thick Blue and Orange wires be connected to any of the empty pins - #8, #9, #11, #12?

    T.I.A

    I have just had my 150 series wired up to suit an existing van.

    I will check the pin numbering for you on mine but the extras pins are.
    Breakaway Battery Monitor (as required in NSW)
    Breakaway Battery Charger
    Electric Brakes
    and 12V Van Battery Charging (from DC to DC Charger).

    I also have an Andersen Plug fitted to run my fridge on 12V when travelling, I disconnected this from the van battery to ensure it can only be run on gas when bush camping.

    Cheers
    Michael

    PS I have never had a van with Reversing lights.
