Video Transcript for All About the Adapter 7-Pole Round Pins To 4-Pole Flat

Today, we're going to be taking a look at part number 47405. This is the Hopkins adapter, 7 pole round pins to a 4 pole flat connector. This adapter is going to convert your 7 pole round plug with round pins on your vehicle to a 4 pole flat trailer connector on your trailer. We take a look at the overall link measuring from the back to the front. Just going to give some measurement, about 4 and one eighth of an inch. It's made from a nice, durable plastic construction so it's very strong and durable.

It's also going to feature a nice impact and corrosion resistant design. Over here on this end by the finger tabs, you're going to have the 4 pole connection, that's going to come with the dust cap, so this is included to protect the 4 way connections when the plug's not being used. Simply just slides over there. You're going to have the large finger grips that's going to allow for easier installation and removal of the plug. It's also going to feature the tab here on top, that's called a lineup of the groove on your 7 pole plug for easy connectivity. Really nice design, and again, this plugs in to the 7 pole round plug on your vehicle, and then it's going to allow you to have the functions needed to power the trailer lights on your trailer that has a 4 way flat connector on it.

That's going to do it for our review of part number 47405. This is the Hopkins adapter, 7 pole round pins to a 4 pole flat. .

They (7 pin to 4 pin adaptors) arrived in a very timely manner!



by:

Came quickly, it was exactly the right adapter to hookup our older one to our new foldable Harbor Freight trailer Thank you!



by:

I ordered the incorrect part. Your return policy is ridiculous. I doubt I will ever order anything from you again.



by:

Worked like it should.



by:

Worked as I expected with no issues. T hanks



by:

Unfortunately, it does not fit my vehicle. It is too large in diameter. I should have measured that before ordering.



by:

This adapter is only for round pins. If the 7-pin connector on your vehicle has flat blades instead of round pins, this adapter will not work.

I'll give it five stars because I expect it works fine, I just didn't realize I needed to check the pins. No fault of the part.



by:

I was having a hard time finding this trailer adapter and found it on etrailer.com! Exactly the right pin to pin configuration. The economy shipping was fast too. I received the adapter in a timely manner. Thank you



by:

Didn't work precisely on my application, but the existing wiring was made for a custom trailer so I had to make some modifications.



by:

Item arrived in great condition DAYS BEFORE it was expected. Great company to do business with. Any trailer needs I have going forwarded will be handled through etrailer.com!! Best company I've EVER done business with.



by:

I use this to adapt my tractor's power outlet to run a 12 volt sprayer. I just use the ground and light terminals. That way, when I turn on the Tractor's lights on the sprayer runs. Works great!



by:

Plug and play for my project. LOL



by:

My fault, wrong piece! Didnt know that there were different prongs! I need the 7 flat prongs with a 4 flat connection! Installed the wishbone wiring today, very pleased with that! Ran it all and connected to my new lights, been a long time coming, thank you so much



by:

I bought a truck wired with a 7 pin trailer receptacle so I went to 2 different stores locally to purchase an adapter. Striking out twice, I checked etrailer.com and sure enough it was available. I made the purchase, arrived in a couple days and made a perfect fit.



by:

Got here in a timely manner and was just what we needed to get our notill drill on the road safely and legal



by:

This is a nicely manufactured and finished product, and comes with a cover for the 4-pin end of the plug. It is easy to use.



by:

The Adapter DOES NOT WORK on the running lights! It does work on brake and turning lights. I tested the pickup Receiver for the Adapter and the pickup works ok, however looking at the "Adapter hole side, with the guide up" the Adapter tail lights connector is the 2nd hole to the left But on the pick is the 1st hole on the left on the 1996 Dodge Ram 2500. (factory equipped). How do I contact you all on this?

It sounds like there might be a connection issue between the 4-pole to the adapter. We suggest that you test the 4-pole side of the adapter with the 7-pole connected to the vehicle. I have sent this information over to our customer service department for them to better assist you.



by:

You had what I needed and it arrived quick, good job folks

Worked perfect for our 1993 Ford F-250 diesel. This is a 7 round to 4 flat accessory

@Michael I am not sure what you are referring too on the fasteners part. For that 7 to 4 flat adapter what are you meaning by fasteners?


by:

The adapter worked well, and I use it regularly. A good buy for the price.

Dose what it's made for. Use it all the time :)

Excellent ease of use, Exact product and quick FREE delivery.

  • Availability 7-Way Round to 4-Way Flat Adapter
    Hey Willyd, it looks like you have a 7-way round connector which is a bit more rare and for that we only have a 7-way to 4-way adapter like the part # 47405. Does your trailer with a 5-way actually use the 5th circuit? If so what is it for?

  • Can a European 7-Way Trailer Connector be Converted to a U.S. 4-Way
    No. The 7-Way end in the # 47405 adapter is made for the North American style of 7-Way round pins. A European 7-Way, see picture, has separate turn signals and brake lights and a circuit for fog lamps. The tail lights are also separate. You would need to fabricate a special adapter to get the 2 to work together. I would need to know which end has the European 7-Way, the vehicle or the trailer. It would also require a semi-permanent change to the connector on the vehicle or possibly the...

  • Recommended Adapter For Volkswagen With 7-Way Plug and Trailer With 4-Pole Flat
    It sounds like you have a 7-Way round plug on your 2009 VW Tiguan and you need to plug into the 4-flat on your trailer. I recommend use the Hopkins 7-Way RV to 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Adapter, # HM47365. The adapter plugs into your 7-way on the VW and the other end plugs into the 4-flat on your trailer to power the trailer lights. I have attached a video for your reference.

  • Recommended Adapter to Connect 7-Way Round Pin to 4-Flat Connector
    The Tow Ready 7-Pole Round Pin to 4-Flat Adapter # 47405 referenced in your question is designed to adapt a 7-way round pin to a 4-flat connector that you can hookup to a trailer that has a 4-way. If this is what your trailer uses, and your existing 7-Way round has the traditional pins as depicted below, then this will work great. I am not positive how you were connecting the harnesses before, so I can't be sure as to why the brake lights were not working. This adapter will provide an...

  • Adapter Availability for Converting European Trailer Wiring for Use with 4-Pole U.S. Connector
    We do offer a range of wiring adapters for U.S. standard trailer wiring to convert from, for example, 7-way to 4-way, 5-way or 6-way wiring. These various connector types are shown in the linked article on trailer wiring. However, European trailer wiring does not combine multiple functions on one wire like U.S. wiring. U.S. 4-pole trailer connectors combine stop and turn signals on one wire; the yellow wire carries stop and left turn; the green wire carries stop and right turn. Since your...

  • Wiring US 4-Pole Trailer Connector to For Trailer with European 7-way
    I am not aware of the existence of an adapter, but one could be easily constructed. You will need to find a vehicle-side socket to receive the plug from your trailer. We do not carry them, so you will need to obtain one locally. You will also need a vehicle to vehicle taillight converter like part # 118158 and a trailer side 4-pole like part # 18004. You would then wire the converter as shown in the diagram I provided. Using this adapter will separate the turn signal back out so that...

  • Can a European 7-Way Trailer Connector be Converted to a U.S. 4-Way
    You have 2 options. First you can convert the Escalade wiring harness, after installed, to match the trailer. Or you can convert the trailer connector to match the vehicle connector, once it is installed. The easiest thing to do would be to convert the trailer but there may be certain lights and functions required in Europe that are not required in the U.S. I will try to cover both ways for you but there is no simple adapter for either method. To convert the vehicle, first you will need...

  • Will the Tow Ready 7 Round Pin Adapter Allow My Freightliner Pull My Utility Trailer With a 4-Way
    If the plug on your Freightliner is a traditional vehicle side 7-way round pin connector like the one in the picture provided, and it is pinned the same then the Tow Ready 7 pole to 4-Flay adapter part # 47405 would work out great. If you use this connector then no additional diodes would be needed.

  • Changing a US Style 7-Way Vehicle Connector to a European Style 7-Way Connector
    The European 7-Way does the same thing that the US 4-Way does. There isn't an adapter available because the European 7-Way has separate circuits for nearly every function on each side of the trailer. The US style 4 or 7-Way has combined brake lights and turn signals. What you will have to do is change over the US style 7-Way to a European one. You will need 1 European style vehicle side 7-Way and one special converter that separates the combined signals to separate ones. You will need...

  • Are Diodes Needed If Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter 118158 Is Used to Tow European Trailer
    You will not necessarily need diodes because the back feeding would only be slight and should not be enough to cause any problems. But if you wanted you can still use diodes, # RM-690, one on the right turn/brake and one on the left turn/brake circuits on harness 18252. Basically, they will go before the # 118158 harness on the green and yellow wires.

  • European 7-Pin to US 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Adapter for a Land Rover Defender
    There is a specific adapter for Land Rovers that have that European 7-Way connector # 118710. One end plugs into the vehicle 7-Way and the other end has a connector for a 4-Way flat connector used on US trailers.

  • Will the 7-Way Round Pin to 4-Flat Adapter Work On a Semi
    I do have an option for you but the 7-Way Round Pin to 4-Flat Adapter part # 47405 won't work on semi's as there is no converter integrated into the adapter. The lights on a semi are separate and the lights on a trailer are combined so a converter is required. Therefore, you will have to make your own adapter using the Hopkins Tail Light Converter part # HM48847, 7-Round Connector part # PK11700, and Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48035.

  • Using Separate Brake Lights and Turn Signals on a European Trailer with US Chevy Silverado
    The issue is that trailers in the US use a combined lighting system where the brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit. European trailers have a separate circuit for each function. The wiring harnesses for US spec vehicles will take the separate brake light and turn signals and combine them for use with a US trailer. If you plug in a European trailer then it would function like a US trailer. To fix this issue you can install a converter on the European trailer. Converter #...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2014 Volkswagen Golf TDI
    The wiring harness you would need for your 2014 Volkswagen Golf TDI would be the Tow Ready wiring harness part # 119250KIT. This is a universal install harness that will require you to tap into the turn signal wiring to install and will require you to run a wire up to the vehicle battery. I attached an install video and a help article that details how to find the best way to route the power wire up to the battery.

  • 2015 Ford Transit T-350 Van Trailer Connector not Working What Should I check
    From what I understand your 2015 Ford Trasit T-350 has a connector on the back for use with trailers that looks similar to the Custer Trailer Connector part # KIT-7P-4 and you have added an adapter similar to 7-Pole Round Pin to 4-Flat Adapter part # 47405 to plug your 4-way flat trailer plug into and you are getting no power to the lights at all.

  • Tail Light Wiring Converter to Join European Motorcycle and U.S. Trailer Wiring Formats
    As you noted, trailers made for the U.S. use a combined wiring scheme for their lighting. Stop and turn signals for each side of the trailer are combined into one circuit and one wire. European wiring is different; it has all separate circuits. This is why there are no simple adapters that can join the two wiring standards and why converters are needed. Since your German-made Rewaco trike would be wired to the European standard you will need a converter to make it compatible with your...

  • Lamp Out Light Comes On in 2014 Audi A6 When Trailer Is Connected and Trailer Lights Flash Quickly
    It sounds to me like you are experiencing the hyperflashing phenomenon that can occur with LED lights. In this case I recommend wiring in load resistors, like part # ALEDRST1B, to the left turn, right turn, and running light circuits of your trailer. My suggestion is to wire these in right behind your taillights. On the left hand side, one for the left turn wire and one for the running light wire. For the right side you would do the same, one for the right turn wire and one for the running...

  • Can a 12 Volt Battery on a Dump Trailer be Charged from a 7-Way Trailer Connector
    The 12 volt circuit on most 7-Way trailer connectors is fused at 30 amps/12 volts. At best it can provide a maintenance charge to a trailer mounted battery. But it cannot charge up a battery; at least not one that is the size of the battery used to operate functions on a dump trailer. Most vehicle alternators are not strong enough and the tow package wiring not large enough for enough amperage to get back to the battery. I recommend using an AC charger when you can to charge and recondition...
