Disappointing Converter for Automotive Work

Based on my observations, this converter didn't work as expected. The installation process was time-consuming, and the converter didn't properly convert negative input. Its high price point is not justified.

Pros
  • None.
Cons
  • Did not convert negative input, pricey.

Ford Windstar Trailer Light Adapter

Received the item in the mail and installed it in under an hour. Everything worked the first time. What more do you want? I must add that it was a replacement. For some reason, another manufacturer's left turn signal/brake adapter failed. So I looked for another brand. Imagine my delight when I found out that this adapter is short circuit proof! BTW, thanks to Revain for listing what they sell by cars they fit!

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Reliability

Works as expected - However

The device works for brake light and turn signals but the pass-through for parking light does not work. He looped the wire around the converter and, predictably, caught fire. The unit was fitted and the old melted transducer removed before the fault was found (brake/slewing function checked). We spoke to the Hopkins Institute of Technology. who were polite, worked with us and offered a solution. Installed on a commercial vehicle that averages over 100,000 miles a year with a small trailer…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • So-so
