Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado
Today on our 2005 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab, we're going to install part number 30955. This is a replacement multi-tow 7-way and 4-way trailer connector. We're going to replace the original 7-pole connector That came with the vehicle. This is how it came to us, so you can see that the connector has seen better days. To remove our 7-pole connector, there's a tab right here that we push down and pull out. Sometimes there may be a little gray tab or a lock that fits around this.
You just push down in the center of it and just push it out of the way, then put it back when you're done. We don't have that one, so we'll just push down on this tab and pull it apart. This is our new part that's going to replace the OEM connector. This will simply just plug right back in, like this. However, we're going to take this and route it down towards the bottom of our hitch, toward our pre-existing mounting bracket. This is the bracket that comes with the part.
However, we're going to use the pre-existing one. A good location for this if you wanted to install it, would be right here. It does come with the hardware to install the bracket. However, self-tacking screws will work best in this application here. Let's go ahead and route our wire harness down.
Before we add our new connector, we'll go ahead and put some dilectic grease on the contacts to help protect them. We're using part number 11755. Let's go ahead and route this through our bracket. We'll go ahead and make our connection. We'll just push the two together, make sure they line up OK, and squeeze them until they click. Now we'll use the hardware that comes with the kit, to attach our 7-pole to the bracket.
With our hardware loosely assembled, we'll go ahead and tighten it down, using a flat-blade screw driver. Typically, this star washer on the back will give enough grip; we don't need a wrench. If you do, a 3/8 will work just fine. We'll go ahead and route our wire harness up and out of the way, make sure it's safe and secure with some zip ties. Zip ties don't come with the kit, so you might want to go ahead and get extra long zip ties to go around the hitch. In just a few minutes we've got a new 7-pole connector plus a 4-pole connector installed on our truck. That will do it for our replacement multi-tow 7-way and 4-way trailer connector on our 2005 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab. .

etrailer had what we needed. At times it is not easy locating accessory parts on vehicles not factory installed. Easy to navigate site to find and compare the exact parts we were looking for.

Product was exactly what I was looking for and thanks to the hitch system previously purchased, it was fabricated for a perfect fit. Also, the first one that came in was busted up a little, etrailer immediately sent a new one out with no hassle. Great company.

Perfect fit just plug and play good quality hitch.

Perfect fit and function as usual from etrailer.

Exact fit for my 06 GMC Sierra it took longer to get my spare tire down than to install the tow package. My spare was stuck.
by: Randall B.05/01/2017
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was easy to install and has worked just fine in pulling my several trailers. For the price, an excellent deal. The 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Connector by Hopkins was a disappointment because the cap that doubles as a dust cover and latch to the adapter has come off and missing after a few months. This cap is not replaceable, the whole connector would have to be replaced.
by: RL Adams06/20/2017
I installed this today. Took around 90 minutes but part of that was learning how to get the spare out of the way. I drilled two holes in the bottom of the bumper because of where I wanted the connector to be placed. All necessary hardware came with the unit. This was very easy to do after watching etrailer's How To video. Good job guys, great product.

Product exactly what I was looking for. Fit factory harness perfectly. Strong and rigid, appropriate mounting hardware. Perfect

2004 Chevrolet Silverado
Perfect! I used this on a single cab Chevy Silverado 1500. Plugged into factory trailer lights near spare tire, mounted it up, plugged in trailer and everything worked just like it should. My truck does not have a spare tire so I removed the spare tire keyhole mount and cut some of the bumper to fit the adapter. My truck did not require a ECM/PCM flash of any kind, although I hear some vehicles may have to.

by: Harold J.04/10/2014
Nice product ,Easy to install and then worked as supposed to . I installed in bumper as opposed to the add on bracket that came with it ,made for a easier way to plug in trailer cord.
by: Kevin07/26/2019
Cathy T. was very good help. She set me up with the correct parts for our 2001 Chevy so we can have a 7 prong plug in at the bumper and in the box.
We got rid of the cobbled up mess that started giving us trouble and now everything works great. The plug and play took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete. We will do business again if needed. Thanks again Cathy T. and etrailer!

I bought this 7 way trailer connector to replace a broken one on my 2006 Chevy 2500HD. It was an easy install and only took a few minutes to complete. I tested it with my trailer connected and all works fine.
The shipping was super fast.
Thanks , etrailer.

The product was an exact one-for-one replacement. However, I ended up having to replace the female connector due to corrosion. This took a bit of time. The result was all new connections that work fine. Thanks for all your assistance.

Quick shipping. And best part they sent me the correct hitch and plug in. No complaints here!
by: Edd T.06/16/2018
2007 Chevrolet Silverado
My 2007 Classic Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 did not have a factory hitch receiver, so I selected the 13322 Curt Hitch Receiver because it closely resembles the OEM hitch receiver and attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Installation was easy, as shown in the videos and described by other reviewers. All holes aligned perfectly. I did not remove the spare tire as it is not necessary. I used two jack stands to raise/support the receiver frame in place while I started the first bolts. I had the 22mm and 19mm sockets needed to tighten and torque the bolts/nuts. It looks great and I now am able to tow.
For the wiring I installed the 30955 Hopkins 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors to the bumper adjacent to the license plate. This required drilling a 2-1/8" hole in the bumper, which was time consuming, but it now resembles a factory installation. I was able to remove the license plate and connect to the factory plug.
I ordered these parts from etrailer for a number of reasons: 1) The website is intuitive and contains a tremendous amount of information for the person who is trying to research product information; 2) the selection and inventory is amazing; 3) the prices are very competitive – free shipping for orders over $99; and 4) the dedicated customer service is outstanding – the email communication is prompt. I ordered on a weekend and it was delivered by the following Friday.
A very positive first experience.
by: Pete N.04/22/2017
Unit worked well as advertised. Old connecter had to stay (was welded) so I mounted off center a foot away. Now it protrudes 2 inches.

I use it infrequently. When I do use it, it works well. It would not mount as per instruction because of the factory offered trail hitch assy. Looks catiwhompus but does the job.
by: Jeffrey03/22/2023
The male prongs on the plug on the wire end were too short and did not engage.
The lights would not work. I bought another brand plug that the prongs were longer on and it worked fine.

- Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2003 GMC Safari VanThe installation of a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 in a 2003 GMC Safari van and the parts needed will depend on how it is equipped. If the van has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector you may be able to find a pre-installed blue wire (for the controller's output signal to the 7-way) that will be under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. This will connect to the controller's blue wire. If your truck has a round plug with a cap inside the driver's side...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 with Factory Step BumperTo determine if the Curt bumper mount trailer hitch # C19031 will fit your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 with factory bumper you have to look to see what the holes spacing is on the bumper. The hitch will fit if the bolt holes are 10-1/2 inches apart on center. If the hole spacing won't work with your truck I recommend a frame mounted hitch, # 13322, which will also be a stronger hitch since it attaches to the truck frame. It is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight and 6,000 pounds gross trailer...

Once installed, you will have a fully functioning 7-way that will allow you to use a brake controller. The Tekonsha P3 # 90195 is one of the most popular brake controllers around and is a great choice. It is also incredibly...

The # HM40975 is a great option that has doors that open from the sides which is very commonly found on GM trucks. Or if you prefer what looks like a standard 7-way with a 4-way attached to the side you would want the part # 30955. This is what I have on my Tahoe and it works great.

There will be a ground connection coming from the trailer connector to somewhere on the trailer tongue and each of your trailer lights should have a ground connection through either a ground wire ran to the trailer frame or grounded through a mounting stud on the light...

I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. For a ball mount and balls I recommend the Curt adjustable ball mount # C45900. It is rated for 14,000 pounds gross trailer weight and includes a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch ball. I also recommend locking...

- Will The Curt 7-Way/4-Way Connector 57015 # C42JR Allow For Both Connectors To Be Used When Towing?You will want to use the Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way # 30955 to add a 4-way you can access while also using the 7-way blade connector. The Curt 57015 # C42JR does not allow for both the 7-way and 4-way doors to be opened at the same time. The Multi-Tow above will plug in the same USCAR connector the Curt would connect into. This will give you a separate 4-way which you can use for your Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If the 7-way on your tow vehicle is hard wired and does not use the USCAR connector...

First, you could use # 30955 that you have referenced. It fits 1997 to current Ford full size trucks. You can also use Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # C55774. Both of these connectors come with a mounting bracket so they will not fit in the exact same place as the original 7-Way, but they will plug in to the factory wiring harness.

The P2 also offers better protection with reverse battery protection for vehicle and trailer breakaway systems, it works with electric-over-hydraulic trailer brake...

- Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Not Working and No Power at the 7-Way on a 2000 GMC YukonThere could be a couple of causes leading to the lighting malfunction you are experiencing. The first things I would check are the ground connections on the vehicle side 7-Way, trailer side connector, and the grounds for the lights on the trailer. On most trailers, the lights ground through the mounting studs. Make sure that at each ground location, there is no dirt or corrosion. A bad ground connection is one of the leading causes of lighting malfunctions. You can also probe the wires...
