Specs:
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hopkins plug-in simple vehicle-specific wiring harness with a four-pole flat trailer connector. This part 00:00:10 fits a 1989 to 1995 Isuzu pickup. The plug-in simple custom wiring kit utilizes factory connectors to attach your trailer wiring harness. No cutting or splicing is required and it is a custom fit for your vehicle. It's going to provide a four-pole flat connector at the back of your vehicle to powers your trailer's signal lights and it is compatible with five-pole, six-pole, seven-pole adapters. The adapters are sold separately.
The four-pole flat trailer connector has corrosion-resistant terminals. It's going to come with a dust cover. That way you can cover up the connection points when you're plug is not being used so that's a really nice design of the unit. It's also going to feature this powered converter module that adapts the vehicle's wiring system to work with the trailer. This safeguards the vehicle's wiring system by pulling power for the trailer lights directly from the vehicle battery and not through the existing wires, a kreally neat feature. The unit installs quickly and easily.
Just locate the connection points at the rear of the vehicle. You're going to plug in your connectors. They're labeled driver's side, passenger's side. Again, custom fit. Once you get those plugged in you'll need to take the white wire that has a ring terminal on it. You'll need to get that grounded.
You'll need to make a good ground connection with the provided grounding screw. Then you're going to notice that the kit comes with some zip ties. That way you can secure any excess or slack in the wires. You can route this to the hitch of the vehicle, loop it around the safety chain loops, that way it's always accessible or you can purchase a mounting bracket and get it mounted that way as well. Mounting brackets are sold separately. Again, it comes with some zip ties, the grounding screw and it's going to come with some terminal grease that should be applied to the connection points like the plugs here on the vehicle and the four-pole connector itself to prevent corrosion to the terminals.
When it comes to the maximum amperage for the stop and turn lights, we're looking at three amps per circuit. For the taillights we're looking at six amps per circuit. That's going to do it for today's look at the Hopkins plug-in simple vehicle-specific wiring harness with the four-pole flat trailer connector.
