Today on this trailer we are going to install part number H20046. What this part number is is a replacement 7-pole connector. This one is a little bit corroded up, it has got some battle scars on it so we are going to replace it. This wire harness runs into this junction box right here. Some trailers have a junction box, some are just hard wired into the harness on the trailer, so in this case we will take the lid off of our box and disconnect the original wires. It looks like our junction box also holds the breakaway battery, we will just set that right out of the way and we will deal with our wires here. Lets pull it apart and see what we have got. 00:51
We have got our wires pulled apart from the box to give ourselves some working room and the first thing we notice is that the wires are color to color. Usually the wires come from the 7-pole will change over to different colors on the wire on the trailer itself. At this point since it is color to color it is going to be kind of easy. We are going to disconnect the wires and make some new connections. The only other variance is on the blue wire is actually going to connect to the orange wire and the black wire. The black wire basically goes to the breakaway kit and the orange wire goes out to the brake. 01:26
Take the wire nuts apart first. We will leave those two together. Do the ground. On the rest of the connections we will cut them and put new quick splices to reattach them. The wires are free from the old connector, pull it out. We have got the old wire harness off, what we are going to do is compare it to the new one and basically we are going to measure them up and even them up at the 7-pole connector itself and cut off the excess so it will match up what we had. We will use some tin snips to do that. We will run the new harness back through the original routing. Sometimes the diameters of the cable can change a little bit so if you have to run it through a grommet or something like that you just want to spray it down with some lubricant to help slide it through. This works really good in a situation like this where the bolt is really tight and it does not want to move and you end up stripping it so it might be best to leave it in place and work it this way. Run it through the hole there and then we will take a knife and cut the sheath off and cut down to the wires. 03:07
We will make our connections. Our new cable has a yellow wire here and that is typically used for reverse lights and in this case we are not going to use it so you can fold it back out of the way or you can cut it short, it does not matter. We are going to do just like before, we are going to use the quick splices to put everything together. One thing we want to make sure is when you use the quick splices make sure that the metal piece is going straight through and cuts through the wire and then it does not go from side to side. Once you have that done lets snap it back together. Sometimes you can squeeze it with your pliers to get that last little bit. Lets continue on to the next ones. The black wire is of course going to hook up to the black wire here and our black wire on the new harness is considered a larger gauge so we are going to use a little bit different quick splice on it designed for that purpose. Push all of that out of the way and on the last two wires we have to deal with were the ones with the wire nuts, that was our white and our blue. We are going to do the same thing with the white wire. Lets tuck the wires back in and it looks like the battery was sitting on top of it. With the wires and the battery tucked away we can put the cap back into place. With that, that will finish our install of part number H20046.

Why not have the colors match? After running my wires neatly to a junction box then haveing lights not work right,I had to match each wire to the correct light,red to yellow,brown to green,green to brown.I come to warn other buyers and see they have the color codes on the site.So if all the trailers have the same colors, Why can't they just make the plug to match.3503

Extremely fast shipping!! The only complaint that I have is with the product itself. The connector is manufactured by Hopkins, and the wires do not match up with their online wiring diagram. You are shorted one 12 gauge wire, and have to figure out a couple of other wires functions. This in no way reflects on etrailer.8025

I have purchased more than a dozen different items from etrailer and I have been happy with the products and their service. The 7-way molded trailer wire connector is a high quality item and about 1/2 the price of my local trailer dealer.9773

I liked a molded plug on the end of my cable. It keeps the Minnesota road salt and grime from getting in from the back. Some guys like the type of end that comes apart so they can replace it. If it comes to that, just cut the end of the cable plug off and put a different end on. This is a good heavy cable.9758

I purchased the 7-way trailer wire connector along with a junction box from etrailer for my stock trailer. First of all the shipping was fast and the communication from customer service was excellent. The items arrived exactly as pictured and described. etrailer sells at good prices and is on top of their game. The only reason I did not give an excellent rating is for the same reason stated previously about the manufacurer. Unless I am missing something it would make sense to manufacture the trailer connector using the same color convention as the wire harness.7827

Very happy with the quality of the cable and the connector. I was not too worried about the color-to-color matching of the wires; a little extra effort and a sensor light takes care of that. A minor inconvenience, and you should have a tester light on hand anyhow. Its the quality, pricing and quick delivery that gets the high rating.27489

Excellent product... the wiring was not pinned out correctly to your standard 7 pin wiring. Just hook it up and a little time with a 12v tester and all is well. Super fast delivery!!!! 24573

I ordered an exact replacement trailer plug from etrailer.com after my original was damaged. I was very excited to find that etrailer.com carried the original product. The quality of this product is the best on the market. The moulded plug and cable provide water proof and extra heavy-duty abrasion protection for my extreme duty dump trailer. I am very happy with this product. However, I am even more happy with etrailer.com. This is the first time I have ordered from etrailer.com. The service is great. My order was upgraded to a 3-day delivery, without extra charge. The product arrived a day earlier than even predicted with the upgrade. etrailer.com is on my favorites list from now on.17352

Pros: Best wire gauge in a 7 pin connector I could find. Cons: reverse lights (red), left turn (yellow), right turn (green), and running light (brown) and not wired correctly in the plug for their respective wire colors. I bought this for a sealed plug with good gauge wire to help save some time. What I got was a total headache trying to find out the problem of why it was not working correctly. This might not have been so bad had it not been on a new to me truck that I was not so trusting of the wiring in it. So I wound up looking at the truck first not thinking the plug would be wired incorrectly. Be warned. 13049

This product installed easily and functions perfectly. My complaint is that the wiring colors used in the whip are not the standard trailer wiring colors. It would create a simpler installation if the color coding on the whip wires were standard trailer colors.8600

The product seems to be of great quality. I am waiting for it to warm up a little to install it. Communication and service was outstanding, could not ask for more. Delivery was unbelievably fast. I will do more business with these guys, hopefully in person next time I am in Wentzville. I have a couple more trailers that need to be updated. Thanks!6283

Good product and quick delivery The connector is a high quality connector - well built and solid (and happily, it doesn't have the "etrailer" sticker on it like the picture - I was worried the sticker would get in the way of mating to the receiver). It's molded pretty solidly onto the wire 'bundle' and the insulation around the bundle looks built to last. The wires are high quality too. I was looking for a solid (as in quality) connector & wire harness to replace what I had currently on my trailer and this exceeded my expectation. And the shipping was quick too. (Another nice this about this site is all the documentation about wiring hook-ups etc...thanks!)5382

Great Product I installed this trailer connector (along with the trailer wiring junction box, under the hood) on the front of my pickup truck so that I could connect it to my motorhome for flat towing. It appears to be a high quality, well made product. The outer jacket of the cord is very soft and supple and easy to work with. Shipping was VERY quick. I didn't expect to see the product until Thursday, but found it on my porch on Tuesday afternoon. 5017

Not rocket science 7 wire cable with a plug stuck to one end, not rocket science, product looks fine out of the box and I expect it will carry electrons where I want them. The item got here in good shape and quickly. No instructions included but if you can't find those on line you shouldn't be doing this stuff yourself, get a professional to do it for you.4398

Molded plug is easier The junction box and molded trailer plug take a little extra energy to install- but the installation will be worth it, and replacements of the plug is much easier. The quality of the service from this company is Great! seldom do you find a combination of low prices, quality products and great customer service. My Order was delivered quickly and I received email advisory for each step of the process- including follow up on the delivery and they have installation videos and a great FAQ section. 4014

Productio is extremely well made. Purchased to hook my boat trailer to a new GMC truck. Just need to pay attention to wir colors since the 7-way connector has a different color standard than a typical boat trailer. etrailer's service was second to none. Ordered late in the day and yet it was shipped that same day. Great work. Thanks 30033

Katie: The quality of the product was in excess of my expectations. The heavy insulation on the outside of the wiring is much desired and made in the USA too! I have ordered several times over the years and have never been disappointed on quality. I appreciate the office keeping me up to date on shipping, tracking, etc. Thank you, Todd29482
