Can you use the trailer outlet to power the lift without having to hardwire the battery?

I wanted to do the same thing, but I was told by mechanics the wires to the light hornest were to small and could burn under a heavy load. So I wired to the battery. Got the 50 amp fuse from a audio store.

No. It draws too much amperage. We have run separate wire to it and it works good.

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

No. It's powered by a small AC to DC adaptor. You do need to factor that into the installation.

I wired mine directly to the battery that is mounted to the trailer tongue. Probably could wire it to the 7-pin, but then the tow vehicle would always need to be hooked up to use the jack.

Yes. Just do not ground the gold terminal. Gold terminal - GroundMiddle terminal - LoadOther terminal - Positive (Battery)

Yes, the fuse circuit only gives you the +12 side of the power. You can supply the ground on almost any screw into rust free metal or from the -negative terminal of the battery. Hope this helps.

It has a simple up / down toggle switch on the base of the motor; you hold it forward to raise; press back to lower. You do need to wire it; you simply attach the one positive lead to your trailer's battery; in my case, I found the terminal block where my + battery cable connected and wired it there. The trailer frame provides the negative -- ground -- once you install it.

No. But it's pretty easy to rig up a battery back up with a small inverter and a car/boat battery.

I hooked it up to the extra headlight wire that was taped up. You do not need to run a big power cord from the battery. Just find a power wire in the area.

No "BUT" all outputs are ground isolated from the chassis so a "lift" switch is not necessary when using this.

You're welcom.Also, if it helps any. I put the converter on the trailer and wired it there, instead of on the tow vehicle. That way there is no change to the plug on the truck and I didn't have to add any additional connections between truck and trailer.

extremely easy. One wire to positive side of battery. The Ground is the chassis of trailer, so only one wire to hook up.

I put it on my gooseneck trailer hooked it up to a battery tender to keep my battery charged at all times works good for that. I don't think I would do the house thing.

I have used to to check trailer wiring with a separate battery and it works fine with that. The tip can also act as a current source or sink so all your testing will be backwards. You could not just switch terminals for positive and negative that would mess with the electronics of the unit. I would email the customer support people at power probe for their opinion. All the operations would be "backwards" for you as would all voltage readings.

I am not sure exactly how this unit works, but if you are referring to enough power I would say yes. If you can get lighter to pull out or can access the wires behind it you can use a splice in connector.

no it wires directly to the battery on the trailer. the hot wire comes with an inline fuse.

If it's a "No Contact" click button "contact" or "normally open" click button closed it will work provided you have the LIFT MASTER remote. You will also need 24volt AC/DC POWER SUPPLY. A good way to check is take to two wires touch then together if your device works this will too. But make sure there not high voltage i.e. 120 Vac
