ABSTRACT:
A universal wiring connection cord is disclosed for interconnecting various types of wiring sockets that are interconnected with the electrical lighting system of a towing vehicle to various types of wiring plugs that may be interconnected with the electrical lighting system of a trailer. The universal wiring connection cord includes a central cable housing a number of stranded electrical wires bundled therein. The bundled electrical wires extend from a first end of the central cable and are provided with electrical connectors adapted to be engaged with the electrical terminals housed within the wiring socket mounted to the towing vehicle. The ends of the wires extending from the first end of the central cable are free to move with respect to one another in order to be positioned in the pinout pattern of the wiring socket. The electrical wires also extend from the opposing second end of the central cable and are provided with electrical connectors adapted to be engaged with the terminals housed in the wiring plug mounted to the trailer. Again, the second ends of the electrical wires are free to move relative to one another to match the layout of the terminals within the wiring plug of the trailer. One of the electrical wires is provided at each end with a spring-biased clip for establishing ground connections at the towing vehicle and trailer ends. Rigid wire extensions are provided at the towing vehicle end of the connection cord to facilitate insertion of the connectors into the wiring socket mounted to the towing vehicle.
