Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 Kia Sorento

Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 Kia Sorento

Today, on our 2008 Kia Sorento, we'll be adding the adapter four-pole to seven-pole with test lamps, part number C57674. After this application, we'll only be connecting the ground running lights and turn signals. To begin our install, we'll first mount the seven-pole the bracket onto the seven-pole connector. We'll use the hardware provided with the seven-pole kit.Now, for this application, we'll only be using the four-pole connector, so were going to go ahead and fold under the extra wiring and tape it up to clean up our install look. Now, with that done, we'll go ahead and add the Draw Tite no-drill mounting bracket, part number 18136. Once secured, we'll attach the no-drill mounting bracket to the hitch using the worm clamp provided.Now, with that secured, we'll go ahead and route the seven-pole wiring up over the hitch and secure it to the fourth pole connector already on the vehicle.

Note, we'll also be using the Edelmann dielectric grease, part number 11755, in between the two four-pole connectors. This will assist keeping out any corrosion or moisture while still allowing the electrical current between the two connectors.Quick tech tip: I also like to take a zip tie and wrap it around the two four-pole connectors to secure them tightly together. Then we'll wrap them up with some black electrical tape to help keep out the dirt, dust, debris, and moisture. Now, with that done, we'll go ahead and use some extra-long black zip ties to secure the wiring to the hitch.Once its secure, we'll cut out the excess from the zip ties. This completes the install of the Curt Adapter Four-Pole to seven-pole with Test Lamps, part number C57674 in conjunction with using the Draw Tite no drill mounting bracket, part number 18136 and Edelmann dielectric grease, part number 11755 on our 2008 Kia Sorento..

2nd time purchasing from E-trailer, 1st time for this product, Pic shows 4 way attached to unit on left, does not come that way. 4 way is loose on the pig tail with a cap and slides into the meatl bracket. I see this will be a problem without securing it to the bracket better.9584

I really liked the idea of having the LEDs to let me know if I was having any problems with the wiring harness, but I did find a problem with it. I installed the wiring harness myself, using the instructions on the website, but after connecting everything I realized that the LED for 12v power is always on. It is not switched by the key, so although an LED should have low draw, this might not be a good idea on a work truck that stays parked for long stretches. 80885

My new Curt 4 pole to 7 pole and 4 pole adapter (C57674) with test lamps is a quality addition to compliment my Curt class III hitch. Attaching it to my '01 Blazer went smoothly, and testing to see that it was wired properly was a snap with the built in test lamps.78432

Is the indicator light supposed to always stay on even when the car is turned off? My 12v indicator lights up red all the time even when I turn the car off.

If your 12V feed is wired so that it is hot all the time, then the 12V feed LED indicator will be on all the time. These are LEDs so the amperage draw is very small.

1) Plug and Play, the wiring itself very easy to install. 2) I give it a "good rating" because of my gripe with this product. The 4 pole connector only connects to the bracket by sliding it on with its attached rubber housing. This is a loose, non-permanent fit and can easily be removed by hand. I'm not sure if it would slide off from vibration or not. I permanently fastened with a 2 part epoxy, but a rubber to metal connection, I am not sure how long that will hold. 3) The fastener that you will use to mount the bracket is not included. I bought two 1/4" x 3" bolts and drilled holes into my towbar. 4) I did not need the 3 wires with butt connectors, because they are only if you are installing with trailer brakes, so I capped those off with electrical tape. 5) Again, I gave it a "good" rating because of the 4 pole fastening issue I outlined.49131

The fit was perfect, did not require any modification to the unit or my vehicle. Took approximately 30 minutes, mainly because I was taking my time to make it look nice and I was using heat shrink connections. etrailer was outstanding in their support - as usual - and I received my package quickly.38887

  • Installation Instructions for 4-Pole to 7-way Adapter Part # C57674 for 2003 Dodge Ram
  • The 4-pole connector attaches to the existing 4-pole on your vehicle, which leaves the four loose wires. The white wire with the ring terminal would ground to clean metal. The blue wire carries the output from the brake controller. Since your truck was not equipped with the 7-way connector, the brake controller output wire ends in the front wheel well of the truck, and would need to be extended back to the trailer connector (see photo).

  • If you have the factory tow package with a 4-pole already on your 2002 Ford F-150 XLT you could use the Tow Ready Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way, part # 118242. This wiring harness will install inline to your vehicles wiring harness and the 4-way will stay and be able to function. So you will have a 7-way and a 4-way at the rear of your vehicle.

The Yellow wire is the center pole of the 7-Way connector and is normally used for connection to the reverse light circuit. In your case you will not need the yellow wire. The blue wire is for connection of the electric brake feed wire from a brake controller. You will need a brake controller in your Sienna to activate the trailer b

  • Installing an aftermarket part, like the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole, # C57674, will not void the warranty on your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser unless it is the direct cause of a problem. There is actually a law you can look into called the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless the modification actually caused the problem in question.

  • 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1998 Chevy Cheyenne K1500 4x4
  • If you install a Curt Wiring Adapter # C57674 onto your 1998 Chevy Cheyenne, you could use either the 7-Way or the 4-way adapter to hook up to your trailer. If you do not have one, you will first need a 4-Way connector at the rear of your truck. I would recommend you get a Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118315. I attached installation instructions for this product below. If you used the 7-Way, it would function just like a 4-Way in that you would not have trailer brakes. B

If you do not already have the 4-pole connector, you will additionally need the T-1 Connector, part # 118449. If your camper has electric brakes, you will need a brake controller.

The correct wire is the black wire for the 12 volt circuit. Next, you will need to connect this wire directly to the vehicle battery via a 40 amp circuit breaker, # PK54540.

Vehicle charging systems do not provide enough output to charge a trailer mounted battery from a discharged state, even if they are not Hybrid vehicles, so you will need to bring your trailer battery up to full charge with a battery charger before leaving on a trip.

So you could attach it to the bracket when not in use so that it does not dangle and interfere with anything and then pull it off the bracket when you plan on towing a trailer with a 4-way connector.

  • How to Wire Up a Curt Brake Controller on a 2011 Chevy Silverado

  • Should the 12V Lamp Always be Lit Even when the Car is not Running and the Keys are Out
  • The 12 volt power wire from your 7-way connector will always be hot if it was attached to the positive terminal of the vehicles battery, even with a 40-amp circuit breaker installed. To prevent your trailer from constantly drawing power from your vehicles battery, I recommend installing the Tow Ready Battery Isolation Solenoid, # TR118665, inline on the power wire. This will prevent your vehicle battery from draining when a trailer is connected. I have attached a photo that shows how the wiring

  • How Does the Curt Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Wire to a Vehicle
  • To install the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # C57674 that you referenced the blue wire will be the brake output circuit from the brake controller, the black wire will be the 12 volt accessory that will run through a circuit breaker to the positive side of your battery and the yellow wire would be run to a reverse light circuit to activate a reverse lockout or reverse lights.

The 12 volt power wire from the Curt 7 way adapter should run directly to the vehicle battery via a 40 amp inline circuit breaker, # 9510.

  • If you do not have a proportional brake controller (but instead have a time-delay type) the LED being lit could indicate a short to the controller output circuit. In some cases the manual brake switch on your controller may be partly engaged; this would also cause a signal to be sent to the 7-way BK LED. You can correct this by flipping the manual switch on and off several times to clean the contacts. If you are using a proportional type brake controller such as the Prodigy P2, part # 90885,
