Question:
Hello. I have the following wiring harness on order from eTrailer and want to do some wiring in advance of receiving the part this week. Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # HM11143165 Can you tell me the wire size and fuse amperage to supply power from car battery to the circuit protector provided with this product?

Expert Reply:
The power supply line in the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143165 will be 12 gauge wire. It will also include a 15 amp fuse with holder to make sure too much power does not get to the tail light converter/powered module. Though we do not have an install video of this as of yet, I did include a review we did for you to check out.
