Video Transcript for Review of Reese - Wiring - RP74641
Today, we'll be taking a quick look at the four and five flat trailer connector mounting box. This is going to have a little protective cover go over your four and flat pole on your vehicle end. And it basically just provides a little like house for your wiring to keep it nice and protected. It comes with two self tapping screws and a couple of zip ties and you're wiring to stores inside there helps to keep any excess wiring safe and tucked up out of the way, not only out of the elements, but also you don't have to worry about it dragging on the ground and getting damaged that way. We've got a length of four pole wire with the four pole end. So you can see how it just slips into that little slot at the bottom.So whenever you have your wiring mounted up, can put that through there, fold it up inside and then snap the door closed.
And then the two flanges on either side allow you to mount that up again, either with those self-tapping screws or the zip ties. I like that they include the zip ties with it, that way you don't have to make any modifications to your bumper or your hitch. It makes an easy mounting point, if you change your mind, you can always clip those off and use some other ones. As far as the dimensions, the widest point, which will be the ends of those flanges. It's about five inches wide, the box itself it's about four or three and four, three and three quarters inches wide.It's about two and a quarter inch tall and right around one and three quarters, inch wide or deep.
The distance center to center of those mounting holes is about four and a half inches. Doesn't come with this length of four-pole wiring I just wanted to have something to show you how those wires would fit in there. Even if you have a five pole wiring, there's still enough space, there's enough of a gap there that should be able to get it tucked in side and keep that wiring protected.The one thing that I would say with this case is that over time I think you might have an issue with that door maybe getting worn and snapping off potentially. Disconnected now, but if it we're to snap off, it'll still pop into place it just might not stay connected whenever you open it up so that's one thing to keep in mind. Pretty lightweight It's just a universal black color all the way around.
It's made of a Thermo plastic construction. So not going rust anything out causing any damage there just keeps our wiring up and out of the way. That's going to do it for our look at the four and five flat trailer connector mounting box..

The connector box looks great and was easy to install. I didn't have anywhere I could use the sheet metal screws because I didn't want to drill into the hitch itself. So I opted to use the 2 zip ties that were included.

etrailer is great! I could not find this trailer plug housing anywhere else.

Works to keep some water and dirt off of the trailer connector. Decent room for the connector and a few inches of the wiring. Closing is just putting plastic tabs into plastic slots so I am curious to see how long that lasts. But still good a year later. The location where I put it made it tight to get the hitch pin in and out, so was not the best for my application. But not the Box's fault.

- Recommended Electric Boat Winch For 4000lb Fiberglass BoatThe Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch - Marine - 9,000 lbs # DL25215 would be plenty strong to pull your 4000lb fiberglass boat on your bunk trailer, and already includes a 2" x 20' polyester strap so you will not need to purchase one separately. Since the wiring included with the # DL25215 has a quick connect already on it you can run that to the battery on your truck and mount the quick connector near your 7-way like you mentioned. You will then use the Dutton-Lainson Electrical...

The mounting holes in the Connector Mounting Box, item # RP74641, are 4-1/2 inches on center, and the receivers electrical mounting bracket mounting holes are 2-1/4 inches and 1-3/4 inches apart on center.

- 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket for a Hopkins Vehicle Side 4-Way FlatFor a 5-Way flat Hopkins vehicle side trailer connector you will want to use the Mounting Box, # RP74641. I have included a link to a video review for you.
view full answer... - 4-Way Mounting Bracket Recommendation for Larger 4-WaysThe 4-way mounting bracket part # RP74641 can basically fit any 4-way harness as it can also fit the larger 5-ways as well. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - What Would Happen if Vehicle Tongue Weight Capacity Was ExceededYou'll most likely damage the vehicle frame before you do the hitch when you exceed the tongue weight capacity of a vehicle. The trailer hitch from Draw Tite part # 24763 that fits your 2012 Honda Civic has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs which you'd need to stay under that figure as well as the figure listed in your owners manual since you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup.
view full answer... - Mounting a 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting BoxThe 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box # RP74641 will mount to either your hitch or the rear fascia of your vehicle with the self-tapping screws or zip ties provided. It is up to you exactly where and how you want to mount the box. The trailer connector wires will have to be fed through the back hole of the mounting box, so the connector is stored in the box. The wires will come out of the back of the box, and then into your vehicle for attachment.
view full answer... - Mounting Bracket Options For 4-Way Trailer ConnectorsWe do offer a couple of mounting boxes for 4-way flat connectors, but the style differs from the Draw-Tite Bracket, part # 18156. You can check out part # RP74641 and part # HM48755. These are designed to protect your 4-way flat connector. I have attached links to our product pages that list the mounting brackets we have for 4-way round and 4-way flat trailer connectors.
view full answer... - Trailer Connector Mounting Box for 4-Way Flat Trailer ConnectorIt looks like the bracket used in the video you referenced is the Draw-Tite 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box, 2-1/2 Inches # 18156. This bracket fits a 2-1/2 inch square tube hitch and is designed to mount a 6- or 7-way round trailer connector. If you are using a 4-way flat connector and would like an enclosed mounting box, we have the Reese 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box # RP74641 and the Hopkins Mounting Box for 4-way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48755. These connector...

You are correct with assuming you use the taillights. Start on the driver's side, remove taillight, and plug harness in; next ground the harness with the white wire. Route the T-Connector end with the 4-flat down through the taillight pocket between bumper and body and towards the center of the bumper. Secure remainder of harness with...
view full answer... - Connector Protector for a 5-Pole Flat Wiring HarnessThe 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box, Part # RP74641, is a very good 5-flat protector. You could also use the 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector In-Line Circuit Tester, part # 20115, which has a protective cover on the end that is not connected to the vehicle.

These slits can be enlarged by using a utility knife, and allow your trailer connector to pass through from the rear. To mount a connector I like the 4 Pole Knock-Out Adapter, part # 30601 with brackets # RM-910030-5 and # C57202. The # C57202 bracket would attach to your hitch using the included pipe clamp, bracket # 118137 would attach to it, and the Knock-Out Adapter would...
view full answer... - How to Protect Bulldog Winch Quick Connectors for Winch Wiring on a TruckThe Bulldog Winch quick connectors # BDW20047 themselves do not have any sort of cover to protect them from the elements. But what you could do is modify mounting box # RP74641 and that will help protect them. There is no one place that you have to mount the connectors. You can mount them in a place that works best for you. We do sell 10 gauge wire. I recommend # 10-2-1 since it is 2 wires in 1 sheath. It is sold by the foot so if you needed 20 feet you would put 20 in the quantity box.

I would recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit, item # 119178KIT, for ease of installation and protection of your vehicles sensitive electronics. You will need to match the color-code wires from the tail light converter too the appropriate vehicle wires. Use a circuit tester, included with the kit, to find the correct wires behind the vehicle taillights and splice the...

view full answer... - Mounting Options for 4-Pole Connector on 2010 Mazda CX-9I have just returned from the warehouse and have looked at the actual hitch. The hitch does feature the mounting plate and is exactly as shown in the photo. The easiest method would be to keep the connector in the cargo area until needed. When you are towing, you can run the wire out the rear door and close the door on it. The weatherstripping around the rear door is thick enough that the wires will not be damaged, as long as you avoid the area around the latch. This method provides the...
view full answer... - Adding a 5-Way Trailer Connector to a 2016 Jeep CherokeeIf your 2016 Jeep Cherokee did not come with the factory tow package then the first step is to add a 4-Way flat connector using # 118605. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You can then turn it into a 5-Way by adding 4- to 5-Way adapter # 20036. Please note that a 4-Way flat can plug into a 5-Way receptacle so you won't have to have 2 different connectors on the Jeep. With the adapter you will need to find a place to tap into the reverse light wire. Jeep put...

view full answer... - What Trailer Wiring Bracket is Recommended for the 4-Way to 5-Way Adapter TR20046The # 47515 would be a bit too thin to fit the # TR20046 perfectly so a better option would be the # RP74641 which is essentially a box that would hold the connector and protect it from the elements.

The installation is pretty straight forward once you have gained access to the factory connectors. To do this, you are going to start by lowering the spare tire, and then you would open up the cargo area and remove the access panels, threshold trim, trunk floor panels and trays. Proceed by removing the trim panel on the driver side, but make sure you remove the fastener on the driver...

We do carry mounting options for the wiring on your vehicle. For the 4-way trailer connector you can use the 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box, item # RP74641, which is one of our best selling mounting options for the 4-way flat connector. If you have a 7-way connector then you can use the 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box for Round Tube Hitches, item # 18159, which works very well with...

I could not find an aftermarket grommet. It may be that the vehicle is still fairly new and that part is not yet available. Another option is to provide some protection for the wiring. For the actual wires, you can use a wire loom, # 39035. I would would go ahead and wrap the wiring in electrical tape for added protection. ...
view full answer... - Mounting 4-Pole Connector from T-1 Connector Part # 118269 on 2011 Hyundai VeracruzThe 4-pole connector at the end of your trailer wiring harness can certainly be zip tied, but using an installation bracket like part # 18144 along with a no drill mount like part # 18140 is recommended for a clean looking installation. A storage box, part # RP74641 is also offered. On my wifes KIA Sedona, I used the no drill mount, part # 18140, the bracket, part # RM-910030-5 and the knock out adapter, part # 30601. Your existing 4-pole would plug into the rear of the adapter and would...

You will simply plug it into the factory connectors behind your tail lights and you will be ready to tow. Installing a wiring harness will not interfere with your warranty. I would recommend two things.
