Best 2009 Chevrolet Malibu Trailer Wirings

Just got it and haven't had time to install. Everything seems great.

Excellent. The only down side for my Lexus RX300 was not having an “easy” way to mount male 4-way next to hitch rather than stowing it beside tire bay. No big deal just a plus.

The wiring harness and trailer hitch from ETrailer work great. No issues whatsoever. It works as it should. FTIW, I have self-installed hitches in the past on other cars and consider myself a savvy shade-tree mechanic. Although the installation of both products didn't look that difficult, and there are a wealth of vids by etrailer, my problem was the jacking and safe under-body access on the Tesla. I just don't have the facilities, and was wary by the weight of the car plus warranty issues. So I opted for a pro intsall job. Given the nature of the beast, and this is no reflection on etrailer, if I were doing it again I'd prob just spring for the pricey Tesla install. Since I live in the sticks, I had to drive pretty far anyhow to find an installer, let alone a good one. The bumper removal etc. for the hitch install isn't difficult, just that pesky wiring and a safe work condition.

Install on 2018 Mercedes Benz CLA250 w/LED tail lights: There were no guides I could find so I'm posting this for other etrailer customers. These are my installation notes and the kit operates correctly. There are other ways to do this, I'm sure. It isn't necessary to remove the tail lights, there is a removable piece in the trunk carpet. I removed that and the plastic trim panel in the middle. The tail lights have 10-pin connectors. On the left there are 8 wires on the right there are 7. My thought is maybe this has something to do with the european style parking lights. After probing I found this: Left Side: Turn/Brake - Yellow with White stripe Running/headlights - Black with Orange stripe There is constant power to the Green with White stripe Right Side: Turn/Brake - Light Blue with Red There is constant power to the Green with White stripe I had to splice additional wire to mount the module where I wanted it. The final connections were: Module Brown to Left Black/Orange Module Yellow to Left Yellow/White Module Green to Right Light Blue/Red Module White to Ground Module Black to Battery Module Red Terminated (unused) The positive electrical connection I made was under the hood, off the fuse box. Terminated to one of the lugs, covered with wire loom, and run into one of the cars wire bunches. The 4-wire hitch output is terminated with a CURT tester (If you put one there, you'll always know where it is when you need to troubleshoot something) This vehicle is completely covered on the bottom and running the wire can be very time consuming if you want it to look tidy.

Everything worked out well. On time and fits perfect. Attach hitch setup and my new Ridgeline. It comes with a 2" inch receiver and I have a full compliment of 1.25. stuff from my previous car. All from etrailer i must admit! so I needed the 2-1.25 reducer, a good lock, and the 7-4 reducer for my goodies! Thanks for the grest service

I used this outlet plug to have 12 volt to power our shuttle pump on the water wagon to pump chemicals into our chem farm mix tank works really well easy to wire and very nice looking very durable .

A great little heavy duty plug that I use to connect my car to the rv when towing 4 down.

Entailer has the website to find and deliver the parts I have needed to repair my trailering needs. Easy to find my same parts that needed replacing.

Harness is well made and shipped quickly and packaged perfectly

Took about 15 to 20 mins total to remove all the covers,Matt’s etc Wiring it in is so easy, only 4 wires, Use blue butt splice connectors instead of the ones it comes with. You can buy a small pack of ten for about 3 bucks, by doing this you will never have to worry about a loose connection. The video tells you what color goes where. I like to put a small price of electrical tape over every connector I do. Looks more professional and the wires can never come apart.

The trailer harness came as described and in quick time. I was unable to find this item anywhere but etrailer. I already installed it and it worked great! Thank you for providing quality and unique items for trailers.

Works very well after re-wiring trailer lights with waterproof distribution box.

All these products were great.

I installed this connector on my travel trailer. The original connector had become loose and would fall out if not retained by the tab on the bottom of the connector. After a year of usage The Pollack connector still snaps into place and fits tight. Good product.

This product works as expected. There is not too much to the installation, just plug it in properly and mount the ground wire. I did not find an easy way to mount this to my wife's Odyssey, or to the trailer hitch (item# 75270). Luckily, I do prototype design and manufacturing. So I came up with my own solution. I designed and made my own bracket to mount the 7 pole to the trailer hitch. It works like a charm, and looks great!

i had to replace these two items as my dear daughter went down our goat path driveway too fast. they replaced the originals from etrailer from the prior year. shipping is timely and customer service actually helps! i wired from battery to controller to hitch myself, and everything fit.

Used this as the connection point for the Roadmaster diode wiring kit. Seems to be well made and will hopefully last a long time. I did spray paint it flat black so it blends into the front bumper of my “toad” a little better.

The documentation for wiring is limited and difficult to read without magnification. Otherwise this is well made and works perfectly.

ETrailer had exactly what I wanted at a fair price. Website was easy to navigate and purchasing was simple. Shipping was fast and I was kept notified right up to when I received my order.

Plugs in easily, shows that pins are producing voltage, and locks in place using the spring loaded door to the 7-pin.

fits the plug perfect....just got a goldwing used, haven't had a chance to ensure it (the bike) was wired correctly for a trailer. no fault of the product, just wish its wireing was a bit long due to the way the plug was intigrated into the underside of the tour trunk.

Works great! Took a few minutes to figure out the rv side and get it set up so the round RV part Correlated in the correct way to the standard four flat wiring. But it went smoothly.

I found what I thought I needed on the website to prepare our car to be flat towed, but wanted to call to verify. After a short phone call, eTrailer saved me about $50 and got me the stuff I actually needed to get the job done! I won’t shop anywhere else!

This part is an exact replacement to the part that failed. The failure was caused by a poor installation which allowed the rubber boot to chaff on the truck frame. As it was an exact replacement installation was straight forward although I modified the mounting bracket to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem.

Great product no issues at all. Product as described & fit properly.

Pretty straight forward. I used it to switch my European trailer's connection to be able to connect to my Wrangler's 4-pin trailer hookup. No issues. works great.

Thank you so much for having videos to show how to install the items I buy.too cool

Just what I needed, Thank you.

The staff and products at etrailer are awesome

Product came on time and worked great. I’ve never ordered from Amazon preferring to order directly from suppliers.

I've never really liked Flat-4 type connectors. Unless you leave them dangling, they usually require that you crawl under the vehicle to connect them. (...Murphy's Law dictates that this will always be when it's raining or snowing). This Pollak 4-pole round socket, along with a Tow-Ready harness, and matching trailer connector, provides a neat, factory installed look, that's more convenient, and durable. My orders from etrailer arrived quickly, and with great seller communication. A+

Excelent Quality! Parts was a perfect fit for the factory location.

Quick shipping, will order from them again!

Exactly what I needed and It's a great fit

Works, exact fit, high quality, coils tight so max of about 3.5’ perfect! Heavy duty wiring, great waterproof connections.

Needed a longer connector for my vehicles. Both have 7 way plugs, but I use a trailer with a 4 flat plug. The coiled adapter works great for both of the vehicles. Very good product if you need some extra length and the fact that it has the coils makes for a better appearance.

Worked excellently. No problems on the install.

I am enclosing 2 photos of trailer connector I purchased from etrailer. I have a 1995 Dutchman popup trailer. It had a 6 way round connector which would not fit my 2010 F150. By using your trailer connector diagrams, I was able to determine Dutchman was using white for the ground, blue for brakes, black for battery, brown for right turn/brake, red for left turn/brake, and green for tail lights. I replaced the 6 way with your 7 way connector.

Quality built product. This connector seems to take less effort to plug in to the 7-flat socket than others that I have installed. Metal housing provides great rigidity. I appreciate that they include the clip to stow the connector when not in use. If I could improve on it, I would prefer the manufacturer find a way to design the inside to be less obstructive to the 7 wires that have to pass through the middle. I use heavily insulated 7-wire harness, and had a difficult time squeezing everything in to the provided space. All said and done, very happy with the product and I do play on purchasing again next time I need another. I would recommend this to any professional installer. My application is 5 different trailers that include surge and electric brake assemblies in a fresh water marine environment on multiple types of vehicles. This produced is plugged and unplugged almost every day.
