Dump Trailer Remote; DIY

[coreyfatboy]

I have a 2007 14ft PJ dump trailer that is power up power down that I would like to hook up a wireless remote to. I can't get the attachment to open on this post. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

I bought 2 of those about 6 months ago and installed them on my 16' Cross Country dump trailer and 22' PJ tilt bed trailer. Both are power up and power down. I didn't use the relays the OP did but used a pair of 40A universal relays from the auto parts store. All parts were installed inside the tongue box to keep them weather tight. Only problem is both remotes are on the same frequency so I have to keep the trailers far enough apart or one remote raises and lowers both trailers. I didn't remove the original wired remote on each trailer so can use them when they are too close to each other.

I am looking for a diagram to wire that in. When I get home I will take a picture of my pump. I'm not sure where the wires go on solenoid

I have my wiring diagram in the garage. I'm sure your pump will be the same as mine.
Went out to garage for wiring paperwork to post.

Have you thought about putting a power switch on the trailers so you can select witch trailer responds to the remote? I'm thinking about doing this on my dump trailer, I did install one for my winch on my tilt trailer.

Here's a pdf of my remote wiring. Both of my trailers are wired the same and work fine without removing the original wired remote.

Yes, Now that winter is here I'll wait till spring. I don't use either trailer much in winter. I'll just put a SPST toggle inline with each red + wire on each controller. I haven't done the winch yet but will next spring also with a separate power toggle.

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to drop off your trailer up here.
