Blue Ox BX88254 7-Wire to 4-Wire Coiled Electrical Cable Review

After spending a morning diagnosing problems between this cable and my "Dinghy" connection, I found that this cable was the problem. Two pins on the 4-pin plug were not connected. They were stripped, but not fastened into their screw terminals. In addition, the left and right turn wires were cross wired.

The wires in the blue sheath were "white", "black", "yellow" and "red". On the seven pin spade plug pin 1 is ground, pin 3 is the running lights, pin 5 is left turn and pin 6 is right turn. These pins are labeled on the back of the plug and suggested wire colors are also given there but they did not match with the wires used in this cable. White was connected to pin 1, the red wire was connected to pin 6, black to 3 and yellow to pin 5.

These four wires should connect from the appropriate positions in the 7-spade plug to the four pins of the plug at the other end in the following order (looking at the plug end -- not the cable end -- with the external, raised key up): upper left = ground; upper right = running lights; lower left = right turn; lower right = left turn. These assignments from Blue-Ox are different from some others I've seen, but as long as they are consistent with your dinghy wiring it will work. As I said, the white (ground) and black (running light) wires were wired correctly but the turn signal wires were swapped. Once the problem was diagnosed, the fix was simple. Just move the wires around on the spade plug. Each is attached with a nice screw terminal connector.

I have no way to know the history of my particular cable, but with the missing connections on one end and the cross wiring at the other, I thought that the info above might be useful to someone else.
