  Yes, the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 is in stock.

Since this wiring will be out in the elements I recommend using...

• Is the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket a Fit for Ford Trucks
  The 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 is a hard wire application, as you can see in the linked installation video we made of this being put on a 2008 Ford F-250.

• Can I Use Both The 7-Way and 4-Way At The Same Time?
  I have a solution for you, but you won't be able to use both the 7 way and 4 way plugs on the Hopkins # HM40975-11998 at the same time because the cover flaps do not allow for both to be open simultaneously. In order to plug both your 7 way and 4 way into the same plug you would need to use the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 , which has the plugs side by side with dust caps that flip up to allow you to connect your plugs as desired. If you don't already have a wiring harness...

• Install Info for Roadmaster Invisi-Brake in 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  I attached a diagram that shows how the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 wires to a vehicle's taillight circuits and also an install video we shot that shows this kit installed on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited just like yours which I think will be the most helpful. The system taps into the signal lights of the tow bar lighting so that it can tell when you are applying the brakes in your tow vehicle which lets the system know it needs to start slowing the towed...

• 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 7-Way Recommendation to Fit Bumper Cut Out
  You are on the right track for sure to install the # HM40975-11998. You would first need to start with a 4-way like part # C56349 and then to convert it to a 7-way you would need to cut off the 4-way of this hardwire and then hardwire it to the part # HM40975-11998.

• Replacement Trailer Pigtail Harness and Connector for a 2018 Ram 2500
  The 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998 is what I recommend using on a 2018 Ram 2500 as the pigtail and trailer connector would be the same as what would have come on the truck when rolled off the assembly line. If you have a cutout in the rear bumper for the trailer connector you can simply discard the included mounting bracket. Please disregard any fit notes on the product page. If you just need the pigtail harness you can...

• Installing a Brake Controller on a 2015 Chevy Colorado to Control Electric Trailer Brakes
  If the trailer has electric brakes that you want to use or that are required by law then you will need a brake controller to activate the trailer brakes. If your 2015 Chevy Colorado came with a factory 7-Way then the wiring to install a brake controller is located under the dash generally to the left of the steering column and held together with a white tag.

• Will Hopkins 7-Way and 4-Way part # HM40975-11998 Fit 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
  Your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 will work great with the # HM40975-11998 that you have but in reality you only will have to use the 7-way portion of the setup. The # HM40975 portion of the setup is just the 7-way and bracket which will attach directly to the 7-way wiring that your truck already has. There would be no need for hardwiring. Check out the install video I attached for more info as well.

• Adding 7-Way and 4-Way to 2017 Toyota Tacoma Without Tow Package
  The reason the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets # HM40975-11998 has more wires than the 4-pin is because this part is used for a 7-way and 4-way. We can help accomplish your goal but first you would first need to add 4-way # 118685. From there you will need # 5506, which is similar to the # ETBC7, to get the functions of the 7-way and you can then hardwire # HM40975-11998 to get the look you want. There is no video for how to accomplish specifically what you want to do, so...

• Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2002 Toyota Tundra with 4-Way Flat Connector
  Since the Hopkins 7 and 4-Way trailer connector # HM40975-11998 includes a hardwire harness it technically could be installed on any vehicle, including your 2002 Toyota Tundra with a 4-Way connector. But you will need to do some hardwiring and extra parts would still be needed so to make it more simple I recommend # ETBC7. With the ETBC7 all you will do is plug the 4-Way into it and then hardwire the remaining 4 wires. White is ground, attaches to truck frame, purple is reverse lights...

• How to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2002 Ford F-450
  In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2002 Ford F-450, I recommend using the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998. Unfortunately, we do not have any plug and play trailer connectors compatible with your vehicle therefore hardwiring will be your only option.

• Replacement 7-Way Trailer Connector and Wiring Pigtail for 2013 Ford F150
  I'm not sure what you mean by harness clips, but the # HM40975 will work as a replacement for the existing 7-way on your 2013 Ford F150. If the US car connector that plugged into the back of your existing 7-way has been damaged, then you can cut off the existing US car connector and wire on the # PK11998 pigtail. The pigtail wires are color coded as follows: Red - Left Turn and Stop - 14 gauge White - Ground - 10 gauge Blue - Electric Brakes - 12 gauge Green - Right Turn and Stop...

  Installing a 7-Way and 4-Way combination trailer connector, like part # HM40975-11998, that you referenced, on your 1995 Ford F-350 is fairly easy, but for these trucks there are 2 different wiring situations if you do not have a factory 7-way trailer connector.

• Testing Wires of 2007 Ford E-350 Super-Duty for Installing 7-Way
  We can help you determine what the functions of the wires on your vehicle are for, but we don't have that info by wire color. You'll need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test each of the wires as you apply the different taillight functions to determine what each wire carries. Then you can wire them to the 7-way part # HM40975-11998 and be set. I attached a diagram for the wire colors of the 7-way for you to check out.

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2002 Ford F-150 with Factory 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector
  You should be able to trace the 4-Way harness towards the front of the truck and find where it connects to another connector. The connector should be square and look like the plugs for # 118242. Adding this harness and the relays/fuses it comes with will provide you with a 7-Way trailer connector. You could then just use an adapter, # PK12716, when you need a 4-Way. You could use # HM40975-11998 and hardwire it in to the factory wiring harness on the forward side of the truck. You would...

• Replacement Trailer Connector for a 2012 Ford Super Duty
  The harness you see pictured in connector # HM40975-11998 plugs into the back of that connector so it would look like the opposite of what is on the back of the connector. If you do not need the wiring harness part then you would just use # HM40975. If you do need the harness it will have to be wired into the trucks tow package wiring by function by testing the vehicle wiring using a circuit tester such as # 40376 to determine the functions. The wire functions of the harness in # HM40975-11998...

• Needing a 6-Way to 7-Way Adapter for an RV with a 6-Way Pin to Connect a Race Car Trailer
  I have a couple solutions for you, but the adapter you are looking for doesn't currently exist. The square 6-way style connectors are an older style that really aren't used anymore. Your best bet is to replace the 6-way on your Holiday Rambler with a standard 7-way like # HM40975-11998. To install this, remove the wires from your current 6-way and splice the wires together by function. Use a circuit test like # 40376 to test the wires on your Rambler because it's likely the colors won't...

  If you don't already have electrical connectors on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited then you will need to start off by installing a 4-Way connector like the T-One # 118416.

• Interior Lights Not Working in a New Trailer with 7 Pin Wiring Harness on a 2002 Jeep Liberty
  It sounds like you may need to install a fuse in the fuse block under the hood on your 2002 Jeep Liberty to get the 12 volt power circuit at the OEM 7-Way connector to work. But the first thing I would do is check the bulb just to be sure it is not bad, then check to see if the interior trailer light is connected to the running light circuit. Turn on the running lights and if there is a switch in the trailer make sure it is on. If the light does not light, then you can check the power circuit...

  Hardwiring the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998 will work just fine for your 1999 Chevy Suburban. Some models do have the brake (blue) and hot lead (orange or red) wires already ran from under the hood to the end of the driver's side frame rail so I recommend checking into that. If they are not there, then you will want # 5506 to finish this wiring. I've attached a video of the # ETBC7 wiring that will be almost identical...
