Mounting bracket for 4-way flat connectors secures your trailer wiring up and out of the way. Includes required mounting hardware.by: Justin E08/17/2022
Solid enough, seems to only be able to slide through one way. I put it in the other way for a cleaner look but now it doesn't hold as well. I had to put a small bead of silicone to hold it in place.
by: Scott12/23/2023
This is a handy little bracket for mounting the 4-Pole Flat connector. The Honda Pilot I am working on didn't have a good flat surface to mount to, so I cut a slot in the bracket and mounted it to the hitch. I think a factory slot would be a good improvement to this item

Very well

Works perfect, no more wires hanging down and possibly getting damaged by the pavement. Easy install and tight fitting. Didn't require additional hardware of any kind.

Do you know what brand of wiring harness you have? This bracket doesnt fit Hopkins, Wesbar, TAP or Plug N Tow.

@Thomas I looked at 4 other brackets and three of them are smaller than the one you got. Take a look at part # HM48595 . It a Hopkins as well, so this will fit nicely.
by: Thomas12/30/2023
Poor boxing. Parts came out. Hitch perfect. Wiring perfect but passenger side wire too short. Had to splice in 2’ of wire overall satisfied.
by: Ross M02/10/2024
Super customer service. The hitch was welded very accurately so mounting holes aligned perfectly, making installation a very quick job. I had a small problem with my wiring harness installation and ETrailer sent a replacement harness quickly, which worked great. The company and their employees try to make sure your purchase really works for you. By the way, I am a real customer. My vehicle is a Kia Sportage Hybrid.
by: Jeffrey 02/11/2024
The hitch and light wiring all went on well. The light wiring bracket parts were ordered in two separate transactions due to an oversight on the first call with your staff.
I was advised that a credit for shipping on the second wiring bracket part would be processed due to the staff oversight, but I do not think it ever was received.
I would appreciate a follow up on if that was not done, if it can be accomplished now.
by: Dan03/25/2024
Not sure how it works with the wiring harness I bought. The Hopkins plug in doesn't work with this mount .
by: Vladislav04/20/2023
Mounting Bracket very flimsy, and not holding 4-Pole Flat connector.
I had to use tie straps to hold connector in the bracket.
by: Rick03/03/2024
Worked well. Nothing very technical here. It simply holds the connector along the bottom of your bumper to make it easier to plug in when attaching your trailer.
by: Jim in Florida12/13/2023
The most difficult part of installing this trailer wiring kit was removing all of the junk I accumulated in my rear compartment to access the connector harness.
Once I did it only took like 3 minutes to completely install and put the floor back in place.
It works flawlessly, but here's a little hint - do not allow your trailer 4-pin connector to be stored outside without a rubber insulating boot on ot to prevent corrosion or wasps from making a mud nest inside it. I use aluminum foil wrapped around in and dielectric grease.
Hope this helps.
by: William 05/12/2024
Again, as part of the amount for the long extension, this mounted up fine all the holes made it up. Hardwaer was perfect great holder for plug.
by: Mark05/06/2024
I'm not much of a review writer but for etrailer I'm willing to give it a go. This part came quickly, made of solid construction, and was super-easy to install. From the time I opened the package until the time it was installed was literally less than 2 minutes. The lock washer-nut to secure it makes it unnecessary to hold the nut in place with a pair of pliers. Once threaded thru to tighten, it was about 3 turns on each screw and I was done. The bracket fit perfectly to the hitch...talk about teeing up an "Easy Button" for the customer. Finally, I've interacted with their sales and service department also, they are top-notch, smart, and professional. I purchased my trailer hitch from them also (actually I have their hitches on both my vehicles).
by: Mark 03/23/2024
The 4-pin bracket mounts easily. I wish the cable fit a little more snugly in the hole, but it does the job well
by: John I09/24/2023
This came shipped in several layers of plastic wrap along with the light kit, cap and small bracket. It was delivered with no damaga or scratches. It was fairly easy to install with the help of my son and a floor jack. we'll do the light kit installation another day. Everything lined up perfectly. We did remove the to plastic pins to make it easier to flex the plastic bumper. trim out of the way.
by: David03/18/2023
A bit awkward to install after the hitch is already on your car. I couldn’t tighten the nuts as much as I would have liked because the screws were also spinning. I suggest installing this before attaching the hitch to your car, if possible. It’s does its job tough and holds the electrical socket in place.
by: Wayne02/05/2024
Plug end didn't fit snug with bracket. (Loose)
Was looking for a tighter fit for the plug end.

It does not happen often however it can be that the bracket was made just a tad bigger or the harness plug is just a bit smaller which is making it loose. You can use electrical tape around the harness plug to fix the looseness in the bracket.
by: Alan09/24/2023
The mounting bracket worked perfect with both the Draw-Tite hitch, 76128, and Curt Harness, C56370, that I mounted on my 2024 Honda CR-V EX FWD.
by: Roderick12/13/2023
this bracket installed fine but doesnt seem to hold the connector very well. I often see the connector just hanging below the back of the car.
Katrina D.

Something I would suggest is to use electric tape to thicken up the 4 flat connector so that it does not slip out as easily.
by: Jordan10/13/2023
Installation was easy and the video was helpful. However, I have found that the hole is slightly too small to keep the connector in and put the cap on. It works fine when connected to a trailer, but if I am not connected, I can't get the protective cap on.
Jenny N.

I know that we have found that some harness brands do not work well with the bracket. Hopkins is one of those brands and I see that you had purchased a Hopkins wiring harness. It sounds like it is slipping out. If this is the case, I have heard that using electric tape to wrap about the connector to make it thicker helps.
by: Cal 02/06/2024
This company has the most extensive product line of any company out there. They're service is th best and the knowledge of the employees is amazing! You can't go wrong by using this company for all your hitch accessories. Just look how vast there website is! I'm very pleased with them.
by: James 11/09/2022
Easy to mount on the hitch and held the flat 4 connector very firmly.

- 4-Pole Wiring Mounting Bracket to Attach Trailer Wiring to HitchPart # 18144 is the 4-Pole mounting bracket you need to get your trailer wiring mounted on your 2020 Buick Envision.

These no-drill brackets have a hose clamp that will wrap around the cross-tube of the hitch for an easy mounting point for the trailer wire harness connector.

view full answer... - 2024 Honda CR-V Trailer Wiring Harness RecommendationIn addition to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848, I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118741 which is a simple tee-in installation and the most reliable wiring option we have for your vehicle. I also recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 so the 4-Way can be kept readily available next to the hitch receiver. Attached are some installation videos for your reference.

This will splice into your OEM wiring and then get powered directly from your battery to help protect your factory wiring. To secure the 4-Way connector next to your receiver you also need the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # TK99FR would then be the best trailer wiring harness and you can utilize the welded on bracket that comes with the hitch by also getting the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144.

It uses a powered convertor so the power pulled from your factory harness will be very limited. This system is designed to plug into the factory taillight connectors so as long as those were not changed with the taillights than the kit will remain plug and play at the taillights. I recommend using the Mounting Brackets # 18144 and 18140 to secure the 4-way...
view full answer... - Vehicle Wiring Harness Functionality For a 2017 Toyota TacomaWith the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56349 installed on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma your truck lights will continue to function at all times. The powered converter draws power from the vehicle wiring to send to the trailer tail lights. This will protect your factory wiring by not pulling excessive power through the wiring. When a trailer is not connected there is no power sent to the 4-way as there is not a complete circuit to power. If the converter were to become damaged...

If you haven't already picked out a trailer hitch I recommend going with the etrailer option part # e28AR because of the matte black finish that blends in better with the black trim on vehicles. This also has a hidden crosstube so it will look cleaner and promote better ground clearance. I usually recommend...

This custom harness will quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like # 11755.
