Today on our 2012 GMC Sierra Denali, were going to install the Bargman seven pole harness, part number 51-97-410. The first step of our installation is to locate a suitable spot for our seven pole connector. Here in the bed of the truck, is an excellent location, as behind it we have enough clearance before we meet the outside of the fender. Next well need to drill a two inch hole to feed our wire through.Now with our hole made, we can go ahead and take the new seven pole harness and carefully feed it through the hole. You want to be very careful because the edges that we just created by drilling the hole will be very sharp. Now weve got our seven pole into position, we can go ahead and use the cell tapping screws provided with our install kit to secure it.Now underneath the vehicle well go ahead and start routing our wire over to the back of the bumper.
When routing your wire you need to be careful of moving components such as steering or suspension or excessive heat such as exhaust. Using some black electrical tape, Im just going to go ahead and wrap it around any of the wires that are not covered by the manufacturers protective covering. This will give it some added security from being damaged and also help keep out any dirt, moisture and debris adding to the longevity of our wire.Now to make a connection with the manufacturers wiring, well need to go ahead and disconnect it from the back of the seven pole at the bumper. See here on the upper side theres a lock that well need to pull back on before we can disconnect it. Now with the wire disconnected, we can go ahead and plug in line with the manufacturers wiring, matching up the connectors.
As we do well also re-secure the lock.Next what well do is go ahead and roll up the excess wire and secure it with some black zip ties. Now with all of our wires secured, well go ahead and take a pair of side cutters, just clip off the excess from our zip ties to clean up our install look. And thatll complete the installation of the Bardman seven pole harness part number 51-97-410 on our 2012 GMC Sierra Denali.

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2006 GMC Sierra
Today we are going to install a 4-pole and 7-pole connector by Hoppy, part number 30955, on a 2006 GMC Sierra. This wiring connector that we are installing goes right into the factory connector. So I would start with lowering the spare tire for good visibility. You are going to want to take the existing wiring down so you can use this excess slack to run it to the bumper so you can mount the connector. Once you get the wiring harness taken down and the cap pulled off, then you are going to need to mount your mounting bracket to the bumper. Once you find a good location, mount the bracket with the self-tapping screws.
