Video Transcript for Review of Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - Trailer Hitch Wiring - HM11141575

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Hopkins Plug-In Vehicle Wiring Harness with the Four-Way Flat Trailer Connector. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2014 to 2019 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now this kit here provides this four-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle.

Power your trailer signal lights. It is compatible with five pole, six pole and seven pole adapters that we do sell separately. Does include everything laid out here on the table and includes the four-way wiring harness with the converter box. Four-way dust cap, a length of wire, an inline fuse holder with the fuse and a terminal grease packet and some cable ties that take up any slack in the wiring. Basically this will connect very quickly and easily.

All you have to do is locate your connection points, which are behind the tail lights, plug in these connectors, one on each side, ground your white wire, and then you'll run your power wire to your vehicle's battery. This does include this box here, which is a circuit-protected tail light converter box, and that's to ensure that your vehicle's wiring will match that of your trailer. It'll provide protection against electrical shorts and overloads. It is a powered module, so it does connect directly to your battery to avoid overloading the vehicle's electrical system. Now the maximum amperage on this harness is, for the stoplight stop and turn lights, is three amps per circuit, for the taillights, six amps per circuit.

And just quickly to show you how this all goes together, again, what you'll do is go to the back of your vehicle behind the taillights and you'll find where these will connect. You'll take the connector with the yellow wire in it, that's for the driver side, unplug it, plug these in. And then for the passenger side, you'll take the wire with the green in it. That'll run all the way over to the passenger side. You'll do the same, unplug it and then plug this in.

And then run your length of wire with the four-way on it out towards the back. Now you'll have two wires left to connect, the red wire, which is the power and the white with the eyelet, which is the ground. On this white wire, you just wanna connect this to a good clean ground that's nearby. And then with the red power wire, you're gonna run that to the vehicle's battery. And the way you can do that is they give you some length of wire, there's a butt connector on there. You'll plug in one end of this length of wire and then run the length of wire to your battery. And you don't wanna connect it directly to the battery. You wanna run it through the in-line fuse holder. So you have the other butt connector on this side, it'll connect. The eyelet connector will attach to your battery, pop open, make sure there's a 15 amp fuse included in there. And then you'll have some extra cable ties to take up any length of wire that might need to be taken up. The package of terminal grease, you wanna apply that to all your electrical connections. And then you'll have your dust cap that you can actually install to your four-way. And you can leave it installed if you want. You don't have to keep, but once you get that pulled over there, you can just leave it on there. But then when you're not plugged into a trailer, just put that over the terminals and it protects them from any damage or from the elements. But that should do it for a look at this Hopkins Plug-In Vehicle Wiring Harness with the Four-Way Flat Trailer Connector.
