"No Trailer is Connected" - Wrong Adapter?

[dgennetten]

Using this adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M18QTHY and this socket tester https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049CGIRO (and a known-working trailer), I'm still getting "No Trailer is Connected," and no sign of life when I activate lights or turn-signals. Is this the wrong adaptor? Any other suggestions? Thx.

I think I have the same adapter but shouldn't make a difference. Make sure it is pushed all the way in. The cap for the socket has a latch on it, make sure it is latched on the adapter. Mine went in very hard and came out harder. I used a little silicone spray and it made it much easier. Trailer mode will work when the lights work.
Good luck,
Mac

Make sure your contacts are clean. Also, use some dielectric spray to help clean and lube the contacts.

That was it! Thank you! EXTREMELY tight fit.

Thanks for posting this as I just bought the same adapter in preparation, but I won’t be able to test it out for many weeks.
