I received the product quickly and in perfect condition the packing was excellant. I installed the connector easily and quickly. I consulted the Gm wiring diagram and als found the wires for all the 7 connections. I had a tight spot within the bumper edge, but managed to find short bolts to attach the bracket in old exsisting holes. The rest was easy attaching the connectors and making sure all wires were through the rear enclosure and tightening them down. I tested the 4 wire connector with my boat trailer lights and it worked like it was designed to do. I LOVE the versatility of this connector. Thanks etrailer.com!! Great product at a great price. 14869

Very well made, nicely designed. Note, if you mount this vertically, as suggested, a plastic cover is provided for the rear, and the unit may extend beyond your old bracket. My old bracket was a part of the original Hidden Hitch, and this extended beyond the old bracket. Because the rear plastic cover is NOT waterproof, it can be sealed with a small bead of RTV or similar sealant under the edge of the cover. 54217

Shipment/receipt was great; took a short timeframe from the time items were ordered. Only one problem. No one showed up to help install all the parts I ordered.

Great product - the overall depth is a bit deep and for my specific application I had some challenges finding a good mounting point (partially due to the depth of the adapter and partly due to the lack of solid mounting surface. The product itself is sold with a flexible five/four way plug (single plug accommodates both the four and five pin) that will not easily break. The seven pin plug has a fairly stiff cover that is spring loaded. Wiring was simple too! 30756

Its exactly what I needed to rewire my truck (2002 F150). My only complaint is that once you snap all the parts together in the rear, its very difficult to take apart. I ended up breaking off one of the clasps while trying to adjust the wiring. It still seals in the wires and has a tight fit. I really like my setup now!!!30096

I like this trailer connection. It seems to be well made and it is reasonably priced. I received my order in a reasonable time as well. The installation was not difficult and the wiring diagram was clear and understandable. I really like the idea that I can now tow a trailer with just about any type of connection and it will work.14028

Great plug. The rear cover has two clips to hold the wire cover on the back. If you attach the wire cover, don't try to remove it, brand new the clips break off. Very fragile. Other than that the plug is easy to install and wire and hold the trailer plug firmly. 11114

If you are looking at the front of the connector as it is installed on the rear of a vehicle, beginning with the top pin just right of center and continuing on clockwise, first pin carries 12 volts for any trailer accessories needing power, the next pin carries the right directional/brake light signal, the next pin would carry the output from the brake c

  • How To Install A 7-Way Connector In The Bed Of A 2002 Ford F-250 For A Fifth Wheel
  • If you have a factory tow package with a factory 7-way trailer connector already on your 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty, then I have a couple of recommendations to put a 7-way in the bed of your truck. The Draw-Tite Wiring Harness, # 51-97-410, will plug inline between the OEM wiring harness and the factory installed 7-way connector under your truck bed. You will retain the use of the factory 7-way on the bumper and then have 9 feet of wiring harness to have a 7-way in your truck bed. The Draw

The most common place is to the left (driver side) of the trailer hitch receiver opening. Based on the design of the trailer hitches for the 2009 Audi A6 Avant, if you were to install it on the bottom of the cross tubing of the hitch, it will be a little below the trailer hitch receiver opening.

If the 7-way you have on your 1995 Ford F-250 SuperCab is a plug-in connector you will need to sever the wires on the back of the connector. Then, attach each wire from the factory harness to the screw, for that same function, on the back of the Hopkins connector.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 1997 Chevy C/K Series Pickup

  • 7-Way to 5-Way Trailer Adapter Does Not Operate Right Turn and Brake Lights, 2003 Chevy Trailblazer
  • The adapter that you purchased may be wired or configured differently than your trailer. You will want to plug in the adapter and test the pins on it for function. A traditional 5-Way flat will have the far left pin as electric brakes or for an electric lock out. Since your trailer has surge brakes, it probably has an electric lock out so this pin would need to be connect to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle. The pin next to that is for right turn and brakes. The next pin is left turn
