Most Popular Trailer Connectors for 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

As the video indicates, ensure that your vehicle wiring is the same as the 7 blade definitions. Mine was not. Had to determine what color wire connections to use for a 4 flat adapter use on a dolly.

Service from erailer is always quick and efficient. The one time an incorrect product was shipped, the company beat a path to my door to get the right item into my hands. Every experience with them has been 100% positive. Great folks!

Replaced the wiring and lights on my 1992 boat trailer. I was able to get everything needed from etrailer. I think Optronics is of the highest quality and recommend both etrailer and Optronics product.

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

7 pin connector separated from cable. I was expecting that "Molded Cable" meant that the connector was fused to the cable insulation but instead, the two separated almost immediately after I installed it. It still works fine as the wires are connected securely inside the connector but with the outer covering pulled out like this, I don't think it will last very long.

Çable good but after putting new 7way plug on truck cable wire colors did not match etrailers picture

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.

Quick shipping, will order from them again!

Exactly what I needed and It's a great fit

Routine trailer maintenance. Absolutely nothing worse than fighting trailer lighting or electric brake issues when traveling.

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.

The stuff not here

Very difficult to make the wiring connections, I was afraid I’d have problems on down the road so, I took it out of circuit and threw it away

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.

This trailer plug has everything I wanted. I have a 5 way plug on my boat trailer, I can still use it with a 4 way plug and I will be able to use it with the travel trailer I am planning to buy. I have not yet installed it but I unpacked it and it looks very well made. I have purchased other products from eTrailer and I have not been disappointed with anything's price or quality. Bob

Works great and etrailer folks did an outstanding job with quick turnaround and communication…thank you!

Very easy to install.

Items were simply “thrown in the box” WITH the hitch which was not secured properly. Heavy hitch then bounced around on electrical connectors, destroying them. Components should have been fastened to the hitch as the hardware kit was with strong tape instead of just thrown into the box by somebody! Refund issued.

When I ordered this harness I thought I was getting a standard 7 way for a conventional trailer with brakes. What I actually got was a harness made for a camper/RV hook up. The wires have all the colors you would expect but all the lights/turn signals are coded into the plug completely different. After spending a good deal of time carefully matching, soldering and heat shrinking all connections to my new trailer harness, I was very dismayed to find only the brakes actually worked. After a bit of research I found a schematics page on the etrailer site and discovered the problem. As this is a molded plug I could not take it apart and just reposition the wires inside the plug. Another full hour or more of rewiring followed and now all is well. The harness itself is of very good quality but was not labeled/identified properly. This could have been prevented if etrailer would clearly label this harness as a camper/RV harness only.

Ordered 1/28 - showed shipped 2/1 with estimated delivery date of 2/6. It had a USPS tracking number that would only show the label was created. Never showed the product moved. After two contacts with customer service I was told they can't track the package until a certain date. I was notified 2/17 my package would be delivered that day. Not sure what contract etrailer has with USPS but I can track a tin of cookies to Pittsburgh, PA I think they can tell me where my $[XX] package of parts is at.

Only gave 4 stars because it was a bit confusing. I have a lot of auto wiring experience; from car stereos,amplifiers and all manner of accessories. All of the info on etrailer indicated that the color coding didn't match up. So I went into it disregarding the standard color coding, when in fact it was just as it should be.

Good thick rubber and plug works perfectly.

Excellent customer service! Thank you, Sheila!

This was easy to install looks great and works excellent. have had on issues with this product my trailer lights are always working and keeping me safe.

I've had this in use for over a year and they don't build them like they use to. I use this on a gooseneck trailer and the piece of plastic behind the spade connector for the clearance lights and brakes has melted, allowing the spade connector to lose contact with the plug on the pickup. So the lights would cut off in the middle of the night and would have to wiggle the connection till I could fix it. I have an older Hopkins plug and never had this problem. To fix the problem I ended up putting pieces of thin copper wire behind the spade and have done it twice since the plastic melted a 2nd time and once again the trailer clearance lights would quit working. Attached are before and after pictures.

After a year doing its job well.

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+

Well I wasn't able to use this as there was no good place to install on my car without it practically dragging. Not a product problem at all. I tried to return and customer service was fast and super helpful... unfortunately return shipping would eat up any refund. So.. I get to keep it. good quality and product. Very happy with it and wish I could use it. Will keep it for sometime in the future when of course I will need it.

Wiring worked perfect for my project. I replaced the wiring on my 14 foot utility trailer. If I was to do it again I would buy the next length up. I would have liked to have a little extra wiring if I was to ever need it.

Your sales staff is second to none. Keep up the good work. You shipped minutes after I placed my order! Very impressed! Marty

Wiring and new self adjusting electric brakes were a simple install and work perfectly. The etrailer online video and written instructions made the job easy.

I needed a plug so I could pull my boat behind my camper. It was just the right length.

Used this on my 2018 Equinox for my flat tow tail lights.

I fitted the Hopkins 5-way flat connector harness with a 5-way round plug which couples to my Goldwing trike (tow vehicle). The popup trailer lights operate as designed.
