Need some help on a small trailer lights connections. What can i use to seal(watertight) the wiring from the trailer end to the light-wiring? A friend said "heat shrink tube" don't know what that is. The last time i did any re-wiring on a trailer it was years ago.

Any advice is appreciated

Re: Wiring Lights

heat shrink tubes are like barrel connecters except you use a lighter or torch to shrink the ends so water wont intrude. i wouldn't worry about them that much my lights work great i never unplug them and i used normal barrel connecters. i think the last time i was in car quest they had a package of 20 heat shrink tubes for 4-5 bucks, i am sure antozone or napa would have them as well.

I recently rewired my trailer and I seal all the connections with liquid rubber. You can find it at most auto parts in the wiring section.

+1 on the liquid electrical tape.It comes in a bottle with an attached brush and makes a water proof connection.It comes in different colors for around $5.00.
