Excellent instructional video. Thank you. You assumed nothing and showed step by step instructions. Thank you. Other instructional videos often assume too much of the viewer. Viewers end up searching for better. Glad I found you!

Uhaul uses the really nice 3M ScotchLoks. Dielectric grease is the key to a long lasting connection. To prevent corrosion, I open my ScotchLoks slightly and fill the inside with dielectric grease. I also push some into the end of the wire with my finger. Then I put a thin film on the insulation on both wires to make the knife penetrate the insulation more easily. I also use it to fill butt splices and coat bared wire ends. It makes for a really solid connection.

Those blue splice connectors are terrible and will corrode/fail in no time.

We prefer to use dialectic grease filled 3M scotch locks and they can last many years when installed correctly.

I try this method, but for some reason the connection cable that I have under my transit does not have any power and I check all seven fuses and relays are good. Do you have any idea why I’m not getting power to that connection? thanks.

if you have the time, solder the connections.. and check that it works before you go crazy with the electrical tape and mounting

While you can solder the wires, it is not necessary to achieve a secure and lasting connection as long as you use any scotch locks or butt connectors correctly.

It is always recomended to test wires for thier functionality and never assume any colored wire contains a particular signal. If your not comfortable testing wires might i suggest scheduling an installation with your local U-haul hitch pro, or purchasing the "quick connect" harness for this specific vehicle that has the wire functionalities correctly placed into the connectors. Its helpful to know some vehicles do not have a separate stop signal but that its built in with left turn signal, and with right turn signal.
