FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How do I know if my trailer wiring is faulty?
Signs of wiring issues include flickering or non-functioning tail lights, indicators or brake lights, as well as erratic electric brake performance. You might also notice fuses blowing or a trailer plug feeling loose or damaged.
A wiring fault can be caused by corroded connections, broken earth wires or poor installation. If your trailer behaves inconsistently or doesn’t meet road safety checks, it's time to get it inspected.
Do all trailers need electric brakes?
Not all trailers require electric brakes — it depends on the weight. In Australia, trailers over 750kg GTM (Gross Trailer Mass) must have brakes, and those over 2000kg must use electric or electric-over-hydraulic systems with a breakaway unit.
It’s essential your braking system is legal and functional for your trailer’s load, both for compliance and safety on the road.
Can I install a trailer plug myself?
It’s possible, but trailer plugs must be wired correctly to match the towing vehicle’s configuration and functions. Mistakes can cause lighting faults, blown fuses or electric brake failures.
It’s especially important to get professional help if your setup includes a brake controller, battery charging circuit or towing a caravan. A qualified installer ensures the system is road legal, safe and reliable.
