Most Popular Trailer Connectors for 2016 Volkswagen Jetta

Worked out well.

2 things. 1st@: I think there should be an option to pick tinned wire. 2nd: The ring terminal for the ground needs to be bigger.

I've had this in use for over a year and they don't build them like they use to. I use this on a gooseneck trailer and the piece of plastic behind the spade connector for the clearance lights and brakes has melted, allowing the spade connector to lose contact with the plug on the pickup. So the lights would cut off in the middle of the night and would have to wiggle the connection till I could fix it. I have an older Hopkins plug and never had this problem. To fix the problem I ended up putting pieces of thin copper wire behind the spade and have done it twice since the plastic melted a 2nd time and once again the trailer clearance lights would quit working. Attached are before and after pictures.

Customer service was great, I called for help connecting the 7-way and they walked me through it. Shipping could be better

Great product no issues at all. Product as described & fit properly.

Tough environment for these…need to keep a spare handy

Sooo, bought another one to match my truck side connection as GM uses Pollak, which are known to not play well with other brands. The design is just a wire clamp to wire it, which I did with the first one, but trying to get it secured I stripped out the screw. There are no torque specs provided. I’ll move to crimped ring terminals on this one and dial back the torque a bit.

It served its purpose to convert 4 connection to 7 connection to make it compatible with Toyota 7 connection set up diagram which is different than many American or other 7 point connection. Thank you E-Trailer . 5 stars and it's working just fine 1 year out from installing.

Product was as expected.

Excellent quality

The quality of the materials for this wire connector is very high, especially the insulation on the wires. One thing to note is the wire colors do not match the standard colors associated with this style of 7-Way plug. Definitely use a continuity tester to determine which wire goes to which blade in the plug. Other than that, this is a good product for the price.

Sealed unit at connector. No possible corrosion.

The plug is different from original cord. Doesn’t look as good but we’ll see how it works. 1st new cord

It's a bundle of wires with a plug. Hard to make this type of part special above other brands. Price is the big factor. Not quite sure why this one is 50% less cost than some others. But works as expected. Solved the dreaded taillights blinking while traveling on the road.

This 7 pin connector replace the original connector that came on my camper that was not connecting good. This new one snaps in much better and does not come loose. I works very well.

I like the features and build quality but should have done more research. It took three tries to get the wiring right. The product ships with 0 documentation. I downloaded a diagram off the web but misunderstood the orientation of the plug and wired it wrong twice before figuring it out. I’m old fashioned and expect instructions included. The etrailer online video did not show the inside or how to open/wire it. This is also my first attempt at trailer wiring. Work over a tarp- the parts are fiddly and you will drop a few. The connections are set up for bare wire or 0 & U shaped crimp terms.

I have used etrailer probably four or five times now and have been very happy. Shipping is fast, prices are reasonable and the products are of good quality. I purchased more of the Quick Fix 4 Pole Trailer Ends - they work really well for the non-automotive industrial control project I am working on.

Fantastic product, simple fix. Customer service is second to none. I will shop here again!

Works perfect just what I needed

As usual with E-Trailer, the connector cable that I needed arrived quickly and was the right part. When I had a question about my toad wiring, they responded with an answer and an instructional video which solved my problem. Their customer service is exceptional and I will continue to do business with E-Trailer.?? G. Rusk 2007 Fleetwood Terra LX 31-M. My toad will be a 2007 Dodge Dakota FWD.

Very high quality connector and was easy to install on the car. I wish it would have come the two screws/bolts to install it on the hitch plate. I just picked them up at the local hardware.

The prongs are a weak point. The leds lit but there was no power beyond the prongs. False sense of security that was very frustrating to figure out.

I have been very happy with products I have purchased from etrailer. On my last purchase the one of the trailer end connectors was missing the locking retainer screw. Otherwise i have been a very happy customer!

A similar trailer light connector was installed on my motorcycle cargo trailer when I purchased it way back in 2003. When I purchased my new Gold Wing in 2019, I wanted to use the same type of connector. Since I had to add a new female connector to the bike, I decided to renew the male connector on the trailer. I especially like this connector because it always stays secure when connected. I also wanted the connections to be out of sight when not in use. I have pulled my trailer with this new connection for over 2,500 miles and it has performed great.

etrailer is the only place I could find this item. It is much higher quality than other flat connectors, with weather covers and big finger/thumb grips to actually hold onto the connectors and easily separate them. I used the 'trailer' end in my adapter unit.

The female connector is attached to the swing arm of a motorcycle to provide lighting lighting for a trailer pulled by the motorcycle. This means that there is likely much more movement in the harness than for an automotive application. I've never had a problem with any part of the harness. I found this product to be exactly what I wanted, well made and easy to install. The protective cap functions well as it remains pliable (flexible) after a year of use, and while it has never fallen off in use, it is easy enough to remove before making the connection. It has done the perfect job of keeping mud and other detritus out of the contacts. The recessed nut holders also function well and is one of the reasons I chose this wiring kit. This wiring kit gets high regard and recommendation from me. All of my purchases from etrailer have been solid products delivered at reasonable cost.

I've had this harness for a year now. Over the past year we've traveled from South Carolina to Maine, down to Georgia and up to Maine again, with many stops along the way. It's worked fine.

The product was exactly what I had hoped for, a high quality exact replacement for the one that I had that was 17 years old. It arrived when it was supposed to and was easy to install.

Sold the trailer,so did not use. Was not able to return,because it was electrical. No hard feelings.

works as it should

I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years

Great product. Works well when I had a broken connection on my 4 way plug end on my light-up hitch cover I bought from y'all a while back. Always a happy customer. Thanks, George.

Love the compact size for both 7way and 5/4 way connections. Install was pretty easy. The wire instructions are for a traditional 7 way color code. Would be nice if they included a RV color code and heavy duty. But just a multi meter or cross reference with your wires manual is all that's needed. I did not give 5 stars because I did not like the 2 flimsy hook connection to attach the wire shield backing to the connector. I reinforced with some black tape because it was sperated. Also would have liked if the 5/4 way door was spring loaded just like the 7 way. I mounted my connection sideways to use gravity to help keep that flap close.

Heavy duty constructed is definitely a plus there are a couple shortcomings that I was surprised to see.. first off for it to be truly waterproof where the cable enters the back of the plug needs to be more waterproof. Also stainless steel screws were not used and I just don't understand why they are selling a product that cannot stand up to the test of time and these are two rather inexpensive improvements that can be made.

Works great as an adapter. I used it to convert a truck camper electrical harness to a Lance camper receptacle.

Hooked up only 12 volt for charging the battery on my dump trailer. Works fine.

Great connector.

Not using on a trailer, but making disconnect harness for quick attach snowblower to loader arm. Connection cord is 7 pin tractor trailer tether, Worked well.

This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.

Decent enough plug. It was an easy install. I would have liked to have allen screws to get a good bite, but will check the connections after a use or two.
