Easy-Pull Ring Handle Is Easy to Grip and Pull

Easy Pull

Standard 4-way flat plugs have a small surface area to grip when you are pulling them apart, forcing you to wriggle the plugs back and forth to loosen them. Some users even pull on the wires. This can lead to broken terminals or ripped wiring. With the Easy-Pull harness, the plug has a large grip ring designed to make disconnecting a snap. Simply slide your finger into the ring and pull the plug away from the opposite plug to disconnect.


Easy Pull Rings

The Easy-Pull is also available as a vehicle-end 4-way flat plug. Combine the Easy-Pull trailer-end plug and vehicle-end plug for the easiest possible disconnection. With ring handles on both connectors, disconnecting is as simple as gripping the rings and pulling straight apart. No wriggling, no broken terminals, and no damaged wires.

by:

Excelent connector, much higher quality than what trailer came with. Should last a long time.



by:

Works really well been using for over a year no complaints quality made



by:

The wiring was just what I needed and the shipping was quick. I will definitely be using etrailer more in the future.



by:

Love this connector! I have rheumatoid arthritis so my hands aren't as strong as I'd like and I have trouble with regular 4-flat connectors. I can get a good grip through the pull loop on this and get the leverage I need to take connect and disconnect.



by:

Arrived quickly & very good quality.



by:

Love them, very sturdy.



by:

This is a great product, solid and great quality. Three things that would help the consumer. First thing would be to add solder-less connectors. Next thing would be to have about 6-8” of exposed wire to work with when coupling. And last thing would be to furnish a dust cover for the plug end.

I couldn’t be any more happy. It has held up to many fishing trips on my boat trailer, great!



by:

I guess when you don't even think about the product...you just use it...I guess the saying nothing means everthing..applys



by:

Perfect for my utility trailers with a 4 pole plug.



by:

Nice solid, molded grab handle. I’m switching all my 4 wire trailers over to these harness. Well made

Have not had one issue in the year since I installed them. A+. Worth the extra cost



by:

This connector is much more robust than standard flat pigtails. I particularly like the sheathed cable rather than the exposed flat four-wire.

Working perfectly. The hole pull works far better than yanking on the wire leads when disconnecting

So much easier to use with the large pull handle. Great for use when your Trucks harness is in a tough to reach place

excellent



by:

Not as durable as I thought it would be. I like the open hole design for easy plugging and removing, but the connection pins to the assembly themselves are subpar. I have a folding tongue and secured this onto a holder, when closing the arm, it folded the pins downward. After realizing the interference, i moved it to an upward position to allow for clearance but the damage was done. The pins bent and are now loose. Had to replace the entire harness.



by:

very heavy duty trailer pigtail cable. This is what I need to prevent kinks and breaks in the wiring harness. Nothing like hooking up trailer lights that dont work because the wiring is easily damaged.



by:

Easy to splice the wires together and hook it up .



by:

I have purchased these ones before, for our fleet of trailers. Great quality cable and easy to plug in/out of vehicle. I stock a couple of these for repairs.



by:

This is a great solution to a 4 wire plug for my trailer! Regular 4 wire plugs tend to fatigue over time. This rugged design is sure to last many years



by:

Heavy duty. Finger hole make it more likely it will not get pulled out by the cable. Works good on our smaller trailers.



by:

Well made unit that makes it easier to connect and remove from tow vehicle. Lead is 48" long but would be better if a little longer, maybe 60 or 72" to facilitate connection to tow vehicles with extended hitches or trailers with long tongues. Would be fantastic if the monitor/test lights were included on connector.



by:

Well thought out design.



by:

Great product! Makes installing and removal easy and you have less of an opportunity of damaging the prongs when removing (as compared to the traditional 4 flat plug). As with any product it is not indestructible but far better than the latter.



by:

The pigtail was an easy install.The jack tube caster is perfect for moving the trailer easily. Shipping was fast. Great company.



by:

The Hopkins 4 way trailer wire connector is very well designed and manufactured. It is enough of an improvement over a standard connector that I recommend replacement of an undamaged standard connector.



by:

as expected. I put one of these on my last boat trailer and will install on any trailer I own from now on. Very durable, easy to plug in/unplug.



by:

Exactly what I needed for my trailer hitch inserts. Great quality and quick shipping.

  • Recommended 5-Way Adapter for Vehicle 4-Way Trailer Connector Wiring Harness to Work With Trailer
    For your trailer with 5-way flat connector to connect to your vehicle 4-way flat, I recommend the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat - Vehicle End # C57187 or the Tow Ready # 20036. The blue wire will connect to your reverse light wire at your tail light utilizing the quick connect supplied with this adapter.

  • Solution for 4-Way Round Connector on Trailer to 4-Way Flat Connector on 2016 Honda Pilot
    I do have a solution for you but unfortunately there are no adapters for a round 4-Way connector on your trailer to the Curt T-Connector # C56291 on your 2016 Honda Pilot. Instead what you will need to do is swap out the 4-Way round connector on your trailer for a 4-Way flat connector. I recommend cutting the connector off and splicing the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness # HM38134 on your trailer wiring so that you get a connector on your trailer that is compatible with your vehicle....

    I have a solution for you to hook up the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB to your 2021 Subaru Ascent without tapping into the wiring. You could install Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Connector - Trailer End - Jacketed - 48" # HM38134 into the 4 way flat plug at the back of your vehicle which would provide you with 4 bare wires. You could then wire the white ground wire on the LED lights to the white wire on the Hopkins 4 way harness. Then...

  • Trailer Lights Don't Work What to Check
    Thank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of your new trailer tail lights. There could be many different possible issues, so to determine the specific problem you will need a circuit tester to test the connector on your vehicle after disconnecting it from your trailer. Check the wiring going into your harness from your tail lights to see if those wires are carrying the correct signals, if not then the issue is with the vehicle wiring. If the signals going to your harness are okay,...

  • Can Tail Lights be Installed on Kuat Sherpa 2.0
    Thank you for the purchase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B. Since your right turn signal is being obscured you could very possibly use the Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL59RB with a 4-Way pigtail like part # HM38134 but I have a different recommendation for you that I believe is a bit simpler to install and will look better since that strip can only carry one turn signal function. I recommend using the Light Kit # 20174 with 2 of the Bracket # BK70BB. The 4-Way connector is already...

  • Replacement Flexible Brake Line For a 1999 Four Winns Single Axle Boat Trailer With Removable Tongue
    Typically these types of trailers will use a flexible line like the Kodiak # bh-3mfs-1-5 inside the removable or folding tongue. You will need to measure the length of hose needed as this line is 18" overall with 3/16" fittings. Please let me know if you need a longer or shorter length or have different fitting sizes as I have no way to know what Four Winns put on your trailer. The same goes for the wiring harness.

    Though you will need to have a 4 Flat on your 2001 VW Eurovan, and for this I do recommend the Curt # C56175, adding lights to your Kuat NV 2.0 is definitely a good idea. I went through all our options for adding lights to a bike rack or cargo trailer, and the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 will be the good option, but there is a potential issue.

  • How To Replace 4-Way Trailer Connector on Karavan 5x8 Utility Trailer
    If the trailer has a 4-way flat connector then that means there are only three lighting circuits, left stop/turn, right stop/turn, and running lights. The left stop/turn is usually a yellow wire, the right stop/turn is usually green, and the running lights are usually brown. If you have multiples of any color at the connector then that just means the wires weren't combined mid-way and you would just need to do so at the connector.

This hitch can be mounted on the frame of your Open Range 427BHS, however I would first consult with your trailer's owners manual to determine whether or not the frame is...

    The B&W Custom Headache Rack with LED Lights # BWPUCP7500WA is designed so that the two innermost lights will serve as taillights while the two on the outside work as brake/turn lights. These lights are fed by bonded 4-pole wiring like what is typically found in a 4-pole wiring harness.

  • Can a Junction Box be Used for 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector
    You could technically use a junction box like part # 3375601101 for a 4-Way connection, like part # HM38134, but since junction boxes are designed for 7-Way connections you'll need to find a way to plug up the larger hole since you're only going to be running 4 wires through it instead of all 7. We do carry some different style 4-Way connectors like the Quick Fix # HMC20031 which make connecting the wiring a little quicker but I feel like this isn't as solid or secured of a connection...

You can simply cut off the unneeded wiring and wire to your trailer wiring. You can still use a regular 4-Flat Connector # HM38134 and wire the 2 brown wires on your trailer to the single brown wire on the harness. This is an upgraded connector with easy pull connector and additional sheathing to protect...

    It sounds like the problem is in the wiring on the 4-flat connection of the trailer. I recommend the Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull Harness # HM38134 to replace the 4-way plug on your trailer. I'm guessing that there many be a connection issue at the 4-way or the ground wire inside the harness broke and this is what is causing your lights to flash. That is the last point and explains why your lights all work when you ran a dedicated ground wire to the battery. You can confirm that it is...
