Do you need to disassemble the controller to connect wires to it? Never worked with lugs so deep inside unit.

I had a very hard time inserting till I looked and saw that on mine, the wire had to be pushed in at an angle.

Just strip a little extra wire, insert it and tighten from the top. No need to disassemble.

No need to disassemble. Wires enter through side. Set screws are tightened on the front.

You just strip a bit off the wire, push it into the terminal and tighten it. No disaseembling.

I'm sorry but I do not use my controller that way. I imagine you can find the operating instructions online.

Controllers don't come with wiring harnesses. You buy them separately. There's a ground wire, a power wire a controlled power input wire and a controlled output wire

The hardware is included but no wiring harness is included. You have to put a relay and switch to connect to the battery.

first strip the wire end ,then loosen all wheels ,put in wire, adjust bottom wheel, then adjust side wheels .try to adjust wheels so there is the least gap ..once you master this .this item works wonderful ,I have stripped tons of wires with no problem

without actually being there, my guess is you have weak tie in connections. Since you have indicated that it does work but intermittently, it appears to be a bad connection. The wires that come with the unit are very thin and need more surface contact area and the connection wires need to be shiny when mated to your vehicle wires which should also be bright. Fool proof way is to solder but that is difficult with the small gauge wires.

Dont have an answer. I double checked my connections multiple times, same with making sure had proper wiring. nothing happened. removed controller and went with another option. money down the drain!

With this particular controller, there is four wires. You would either need to hard wire the controller or purchase a vehicle specific wiring harness for it. Some vehicles have a connector under the dash for this harness if they are equipped with the towing package. My vehicle didn't and I had to wire it myself. Hope this helps. Safe towing.

I did not use the connectors. I removed them and wired it direct. Working great!

I don't remember now, it's been a while. I did not have any problem. I drew a wiring diagram based on the circuit diagram that came with the controller.

slide connectors are fairly cheap, and you don't even need to solder them onto your bare wire, if you strip about a 1/4 inch from your wires from your head unit, all you do is slip the connectors onto the wire and crimp. i don't know if you are attempting to use the stock wiring harness or stock plugs/connectors, but this is was i had to do when installing in my honda. http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-20-145F-Terminal-Disconnects/dp/B000FKF7CG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1416917612&sr=8-5&keywords=terminal+connectors&pebp=1416917644390 They will look like this, but you may need to get wider ones depending on the size of the terminal, I did this so long ago that I forgot what actual size I used. I hope this helps.

Not at all...I just used the splice connectors and tied into the factory wires

I don't remember but I'd be glad to send you a photo of the inside. I have the photo but I don't see an option for an attachement here. The lugs are a good size but from having wired in an external load center with 100 amp #4 it doesn't seem as if 4/0 will fit the lugs, if it does it's gonna be tight. Hopefully the company will have the answer you need.

Yes BUT I had to rewire my remote as it wouldn't even drive my truck also the instructions I got with my truck was for a buggy not a truck but luckily I found a pdf online and was able to fix it. It might have helped that I am an electrician so I know how these are wired although I'm sure that the company would have sent me a new one if I had contacted them we were very helpful when I contacted them before I've had mine now one year and it works great still. I would recommend that u store it in a controlled climate if you live in cold weather like do these are a lot of fun but require knowledge to to keep running and maintain hope this helps Yes BUT I had to rewire my remote as it wouldn't even drive my truck also the instructions I got with my truck was for a buggy not a truck but luckily I found a pdf online and was able to fix it.

I don't remember for sure, but I think the pigtail connector I used was provided by the dealer when I bought my truck (part of the tow package). I believe they cost about $10 so I would suggest buying one with your controller and then if you don't need it send it back. I have a Toyota Tundra and it was very easy to wire the controller to the pigtail, then the pigtail plugged right into the connector. I'm very pleased with the controller, I've used it for over a year and it has worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

My 2002 f350 had the wires under the dash. I just had to find the wires which were marked and connect them The the wire harness from the controller.

No, it needs the stripped wires. You can get pair of wires that have MC4 on one side to connect to panel and bare wire on the other to connect to the charge controller. Better to do this than cutting off the MC4 connectors.
