Today we're going to be taking a look at part number HM48205, this is the Hopkins four way flat trailer wiring kit. This kit's going to include, both your vehicle end connector, it's going to measure 48" long and your trailer end connector, that's going to measure 12" long. You're going to get new connectors at the back of your vehicle and on your trailer. These two will mate up perfectly together with another. That way you can send the signals from your vehicle back to your trailer. This is a four wire design, it's going to have the wire functions printed on directly on the wires for easy reference.
That way you can just look on the wiring and see which wire contorls what function. That's a nice feature to have. The plugs on them are going to feature corrosion resistant terminals so it's going to last a long time. One thing you can do to help prevent rust and corrosion to the terminals is that you can apply some dielectric grease to the terminals and that's going to help keep out corrosion. If you don't have some of that you can pick some of that up here at etrailer.com, it is sold separately but again that's going to help prevent corrosion. It's also going to include six quick splice connectors which makes connecting the wires very easy. Pretty simple installation, you want to choose an installation location at the rear of your vehicle.
Attach the car side on the female half to the same functions on the tow vehicle and then attach the trailer side color wires on the male half to the trailer and then you'll plug the mating parts together and check the lighting system for proper operations. That's going to be it for today's look at part number HM48205.

The 4-wire design of this kit includes a 48" long vehicle wiring harness, a 12" trailer end wiring harness, and 6 quick-splice connectors.My 12 ft utility trailer needed a makeover, I stripped it down, installed new boards, repainted I and installed new wiring and lights. I ordered the wiring and lights from etrailer and they arrived in about a week and everything I ordered arrived in perfect shape. It installed very easily and worked perfectly when connected to my vehicle. Thanks etrailer for delivering on quality products and great service.

I decided this would be cheaper than any extension I could find, plus I'm going to shorten the wires anyways, so it's no big deal if it's in two parts already. I have a powered light adapter that's intended to be located outside, but I don't care for the idea of having that power wire running out to the hitch, so I'm going to use this kit as an extension so I can keep the adapter inside the car. My car has auxiliary wiring sockets to plug a trailer harness into, so I wont be using the included splices, but those look fairly decent. I would recommend packing those splice taps with grease, to keep water out if you use those sort of things. I usually don't
Ordered trailer hitch wiring connections, wires, mounts, etc. All arrived just as ordered, and within 5 days. The quality was top-shelf, which is why I continue to reorder from etrailer.....NO JUNK & NO MISTAKES, sounds simple but so many companies get it wrong
I ordered LED tail lights and new light harness and a harness tester. Everything is working great.
I have not installed the trailer wiring kit yet but wiring looks to be of a very high quality. Do note that the wiring for the trailer is 12 inches not 12 feet unlike me so your not placing another order with etrailer (boo hoo!!!)
Thanks for the great selection etrailer you are the first one I go to if I need anything that is not food, keep up the great work.
