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.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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: 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.

This is a 7-way and 4-way connector that has a mounting bracket attached.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Motorhome 7-Way Trailer ConnectorI recommend checking your fuses on your motorhome first. If your fuses are good, then use a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to test the wiring. I recommend checking right behind the 7-way first as sometimes that connection goes bad or the inside of the trailer connector itself. Next trace the wiring as needed to find where the power for each function broke down.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for 2002 Chevy Silverado For your 2002 Chevy Silverado with tow package, I recommend the Replacement Custom Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors # 30955. This will give you both the 7-way and 4-way connections and will easily connect to your factory wiring harness and give you connection for both styles of trailer wiring.
view full answer... - Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2011 GMC Yukon XLNo plug is present under the dash, but the wires are already run. You only need to connect the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885 wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. The # 90885 is one of our best selling brake controllers because of how easy it is to setup and how well it works. There is also a couple connections that need to be made under the hood of your vehicle. Check out the FAQ article I attached on installing a brake controller on a GM vehicle...

If you do not have the factory 7-way, then you will need the Replacement Custom Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors # 30955 and will hardwire the wires present under your dash to the Universal Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515.

If your truck only has a 4-Way connector and you need to add a 7-Way connector, you can use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole adapter, # 37185, and connect the additional wires to the wires going into the OEM connector along the drivers side frame rail under the truck.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2009 GMC SierraIf your 2009 GMC Sierra is a 1500 then I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 75521. It has more capacity than most of the hitches without adding onto the price. I've linked a video of the install on a 2010 Sierra which will be the same for you. If your truck is not a 1500 then let me know so I can make the correct recommendation. Also, if you need trailer wiring I recommend part # C55384 for a 4-way connetor or part # 30955 for a 7-way. Whichever connects to your...

If the Curt T-Connector C56366 (discontinued) for your 2011 Honda Pilot is only showing 1 light on your Hopkins Tester/Adapter # 47345 with the trailer plugged in then either the tester/adapter is malfunctioning or your Curt wiring harness is malfunctioning.

But since you mentioned that your CNG tanks obstruct that area you can bypass that connector and use the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit you referenced along with a 4-pole wiring harness. For a 4-pole harness you can use TowReady part # 118392 which plugs in at the taillights with no cutting or splicing....

- Recommendation for a Brake Controller to Fit a 2009 Chevrolet TahoeDepending if you already have a 7-way connector installed or not on your 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe will determine the amount of additional parts that will be needed when installing a brake controller. First, the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN # TK63VR, that you referenced is a quality controller that will work well with your Tahoe.

If that's the route than needs to be taken, then you'll want to start with your 4 way wiring # 18252, and use that to give you a new 7-way with # ETBC7.

If you do not have a factory 7-way you will also need part # PK11898, or if your truck has a round plug with a cap instead of a bundle of wires above the spare tire, use part # 30955 instead of the PK11898.
