Grandaughter/Snow coach= Real Enjoyment!!!

I do understand what your saying about the draw with too small of wire. At this point, I have not had any problems, and I have about 400 miles pulling the coach. With that said, I was not able to pull the OEM wires out enough to verify the size. From the look of them they seem to be about 20 gauge. In your case 22 gauge is small but I'm not sure if I would worry to much about that, I've seen allot smaller run a lot more.

The first picture is the wire and the backside of the OEM plug that would normally connect to the taillight.


The next picture is the harness I made. The 3 wires between the light and OEM wires, are not broken/cut they just have the wire coating strip off in the center. Then have the 3 prong trailer connector wires wrapped and soldered to each. Then tapped individually, then as a group. (Yes, I could have tapped into the OEM wiring this way but not touching the OEM wires made this option worth it to me.) This all gets tucked in the taillight bracket on the back of my tunnel and then the 3-pin can be accessed through one of the holes on the back side of the bracket. When the 3 pin is not in use I tuck it back in the taillight bracket.



Here are the links to the places I ordered my parts from.

Amazon: Eaz-Lift 64859 3-Way Flat Complete Trailer Connector

Mouser Electronics: Molex I/O Connectors - Part number 538-76650-0186 (I needed a few others as well. So this was the best kit for me to buy.)

One other thing I though of was the safety chain. On my rear bumper I use a motorcycle tie down strap so the paint does not get scratched. (The chain length of course needs to be adjusted.)

Thanks so much lotsfire the info/pics. My plug connector, and LED are much smaller on the newer sled. But I may still be able to work it out though. I know I have no choice but to replace the coach lighting with a LED due to the small wires on the newer sled. I will use your source for the flat 3 wire connectors. Very good idea on the safety strap!!!!!! Thanks again!!! Nothing like family enjoying together!!!

Snowmobiling with family always the most enjoyment. It's something they can all be part of. Especially the little ones!!!!!!!! It's in their blood!!!

Have you taken your granddaughter out on the trails this year? Did you get the taillights figured out?

We have snow/fluff. How ever my grandaughter down with flu. Just as well with the extreme cold here now. I will end up with a set up like yours on the older Doo. Using a remote strobe with the newer Doo. Will probably get that one hard wired with a different light module. She, and I can't wait for the first outing!!!

Sorry to hear she is sick. I'm sure you will have some good times with the coach once she is better.
