Most Popular Trailer Connectors for 2017 Kia Soul

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.

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.

This is definitely a good quality molded cord for the money. Route and wire this cord into a good quality junction box and you will be on your way to having some excellent trailer wiring.

GREAT ACCURATE REPLACEMENT WIRING.

Timely shipment. I’ve bought from your company before and haven’t been disappointed. Nice job.

Quick easy repair

They have just what I needed and it arrived very quickly.

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.

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.

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!

Sooo, bought another one to match my truck side connection as GM uses Pollak, which are known to not play well with other brands. The design is just a wire clamp to wire it, which I did with the first one, but trying to get it secured I stripped out the screw. There are no torque specs provided. I’ll move to crimped ring terminals on this one and dial back the torque a bit.

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

Heavy duty plug that has a good snug fit and I like the jacketed cord that provides strength and extra protection.

I have been very pleased with etrailer orders recently. Everything shows up when expected and products are as expected. Attached are a couple before and after pictures of my recent project to add lights to a cargo rack per my wife's request. Thanks for the professionalism of all at trailer

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

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.

The product arrived in a timely manner and undamaged. I have not used this 5 pole adapter yet, but the 4 pole adapter I previously bought from etrailer years ago is still working great. I have no reason to doubt that this adapter will function equally well. I appreciate the good products and customer service from Etrailer.

I needed the extra wire to run for multi-led lights mounted underneath the steps at the rear of my trailer, when in reverse trailering. This connector seems heavier-duty compared to many on the market and so far is still working well after a year or more. As with most products from etrailer, I haven't been let down yet. Here's a real special GOTCHA moment I had recently; My trailer jack stand, which I had purchased from my well-known and popular local trailer company to replace my original had rusted to pieces. I needed a replacement quickly and trusted I'd get a decent product and price as had been the norm over many years. Anyway, I purchased the new jack and wheel and brought them home to install myself. Upon taking the jack out of the bag it came in, I noticed a sticker from etrailer, yea. Before installing I went online, saw that my jack was less than half the cost I'd just paid, and realized I should have purchased the jack when I had originally shopped online at the start of this replacement process. I could have returned my over-priced items but decided I didn't have the time due to procrastination. I decided they could keep their extra profit on this purchase but I won't get fooled again and my local shop has lost my trust.

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.

The Glolight LED trailer set is the perfect replacement for my tow dolly. It is light weight and much more visible than the standard bulb lamp set the trailer was equipped with. Installation was quick and very easy, I will recommend this to all needing to change theirs out...

Great Prices and Fast Shipping

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.

Connector and wire harness well made - connector designed such that it can be mounted and harness has added protection for wires. Would like to have marine grade wire since I do mostly saltwater fishing. I mounted the connector on a piece of 1.5" square galvanized tubing painted black.

Nice product & good value imo--it's very beefy and appears to be heavy duty---I know these are supposed to be temporary---that said this one replaced a Reese connector connector exact same style w/LEDs that was almost 17 years old before it failed--hopefully this lasts even close to that amount of time--I don't use this trailer daily usually not even weekly---so maybe with commercial trailer use this connector isn't for you..... It's my considered opinion that many of the fails are the result of a lousy install or someone disconnecting by pulling on the harness INSTEAD of grabbing the connector either way this gets an A+ from me

This is perfect. I needed an easy way to change the connector on the trailer I'm working on. It was an old pop up camper with an 8 pin connector mounted on the frame. but I only needed a 4 after rewiring it. So, out with the old and in with the new! Plus it's really easy to connect all the wires. Picture is not of the new connector but of the whole project I'm working on. I've since mounted all the running lights, tail lights etc.

I recently had a need for the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Vehicle End - HM48190 to replace the faulty one on my van. It was easy to find what I needed on the site and the price was comparable to other sites I had visited. I decided to go with etrailer because I had previously ordered the hitch through them. I appreciated the fact that an email was sent out confirming that they received the order as well as a follow-up email telling me that the part was shipped along with providing the tracking number. The installation of the part was easy and took no time to complete. Overall it was a fine experience and if I need to order anything in the future, I will be sure to come back and order from etrailer.

Great product. Easy to install

Good for converting 4 wire boat trailer harness to 5 wire. I would have preferred an adapter that plugged into the existing 4 wire plug with an integrated backup wire that is spliced into the blue wire on the trailer.

The whole staff at etrailer bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with the installation of brakes on my trailer. Have made several purchases from them always satisfied with parts and service. Special credit to Jamie great to deal with. Answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable.

Shawn B. (& everyone I talked with at E Trailer) was wonderful. Great phone support. Great products. We did a great job installing the wiring harness. Made me wonder why we originally took it to a "professional" trailer sales & service place in Ogden UT. They hacked into our wiring & created problems. I will continue to be a grateful customer. Finding good people who know their stuff in todays world is a soul healing event. Thank you E Trailer!

I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years

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!
