7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long - H20044
Average Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (331 Customer Reviews)
by: Mike L01/28/2024
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.

I just received this and am looking forward to getting it installed and my trailer wired up. This looks like a quality product.
by: Bobby12/02/2022
This is not the first pigtail that I have found that was wired incorrectly.
When you match all the colors up...like yellow to yellow ( left turn) in the box and brown to brown (running light)
The lights don't work correctly....colors have to be mismatched...in order for the ligh/ to preform correctly.
Yellow =left turn....Green = right turn.....Brown = running lights.....White = GND
the pigtail is a nice piece...but 2 of the wires are shaped for standard 7 pin round.in the molded end

Still works well, even sitting in the weather it works as intended. It is not used very often but still exposed to the elements.

The color coded wires did not match the standard for which went where. I first assumed it matched and installed accordingly. Only ground (white) and electric break control (blue) were correct. Brown, yellow, and green were all wrong. I believe black and red were also switched, although those seem to be less standardized. Then I checked it for continuity with multimeter and reconnected, crossing colors as necessary. Also, outside sheathing immediately separated from molded plug during first use. This appears to be very nice, heavy construction, but in reality it is a big disappointment.

There are two different accepted wire color code conventions for a 7-way trailer connector, which is why we provide a chart see above showing the wire color codes applicable for this trailer connector.
by: Kenneth 11/05/2023
Well built. easy to install.
by: Mike Mellor02/08/2017
I felt the product was good, but the cord was not long enough. When I ordered it, the one I wanted had a longer cord, but was not available. I was in a bind so I took the shorter one. It works great, but it is not long enough for my needs. If I have to turn the trailer sharp the cord will pop out of the plug, due to the shortness of the cord. Good product.

I sold the trailer. The cord was still not long enough.
by: Bill G04/11/2019
Used this product to extend the trailer's factory cable due to the new tow vehicle's receptacle was farther from the camper tongue. After one year, it is still working well.
All wire colors were correct.

Still working well!
by: Russell H04/16/2015
Products were all as described and good quality. The only problem was packaging. The insulation on the wires on one of the brake assemblies was cut requiring splicing. Not a big deal but did require additional time and effort since they were cut where going through back plate. Wish I had purchased two conductor brake wire. Would have made job easier.But that was my mistake.

Worked out great till a couple months ago when someone didn’t pay attention and the plug pulled out and got dragged so I will be ordering another.
by: GeorgeM08/22/2016
Very nice quality product. It's nice to have a molded plug, and this fits the bill nicely. Length is adequate as well. Couple this with one of the trailer junction boxes (another excellent product) and you'll have a clean and professional installation.

All good. Havent used the trailer much tho.
by: Aaron N.10/02/2016
Quality product at a reasonable price. Worked great- used a "weather pack" connector for a nice sealed connection to the rest of the trailer wiring. Just be sure to carefully check the wire colors (as many noted in the reviews)- they are not standard!

After a year, product is still like new- weather exposure hasnt caused any issues at all!

Part was promptly delivered and was the correct item.
by: Ron08/15/2018
The color coding of the wiring in relation to their position was all incorrect to what is recognized as standard. Since the plug is molded there is no way to switch positions of the wires. I had to use a continuity tester to determine what was what. The trailer brake circuit was the only one that was correct

There is more than one accepted color coding for a 7-way trailer connector, which is why we list the color code on the product description that shows which function each wire color carries. Heres a link to our Trailer Wiring help article that you might find helpful.

I found that their Web site was fairly easy to navigate through. I was easily able to find what I needed. Placed my order and waited. Was able to easily track my products progress which was nice. Received it and open the package and found it well packed and the product looks well constructed and durable. I would order from here again.

Its working great. Had to verify each wire individually as the online schematics may have been different colors but with a few minutes a second person and a multimeter it was figures out. Wired onto trailer and have had no issues

Confirming wiring functions is alway a wonderful thing, you definitely took the right approach. Happy to hear you got your trailer wiring connection installed and you are good to go.
by: Terry W.07/05/2019
Good service. I had called and confirmed the details about the cord and plug. The salesperson was very helpful and gave me a good target date for delivery. Got it today as was promised. I’ve got it installed and it works well. It has a quality heavy duty cord that is molded into the plug. Time will tell if my hopes for longevity is achieved.
Thanks and keep up the good service!!

Here in west Texas, it is dry and hot. The trailer sits outside and is in the elements. The cord and connector are holding up well. Works every time!! Thanks for providing a good product with service to match.

- Changing Trailer 4-Way Wiring to 7-Way Wiring for Extra Function and Compatible Connector to TruckTo switch your boat trailer from a 4-way to a 7-way connector, I recommend using the 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long # H20044 along with heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5. You will ground the white wire to your trailer frame using # 44-5310A and then connect the running lights, right turn/stop, left turn/stop, and reverse light. To the reverse light (yellow wire on # H20044) you will connect # 16-1-1 wire sold by the foot to lead to your trailer reverse lights that...

The Curt ball mount # C45341 is compatible and will provide either 3-inches of rise or 4-inches of drop. You can use your existing hitch ball IF it is Class IV-rated and if it has a 1-1/4-inch diameter shank. If not you can use either 2-inch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16-inch ball # 63840.

- What Does Yellow Wire of 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector H20044 Wire ToThe yellow wire of the 7-way harness part # H20044 that you referenced goes to the center pin of the 7-way which is an aux circuit that is typically used for reverse lights if present on the trailer. Normally the red wire on a 7-way (RV standard colors) is for the left turn circuit so if you have a red wire I'd not think this would be the correct wire to connect the yellow if the 7-way to. Most likely you'd need to connect it to a yellow wire on your 7-way or to a purple wire. That said,...

- Parts Needed to Add Electric Trailer Brakes to Trailer Towed by 2014 Ford F-150We can help you with addition of electric brakes to your cargo trailer as well as with the update to your trailer wiring. We do offer wiring adapters, but in your case since you are adding a new function to the trailer - electric brakes - an adapter will not work. The trailer will need additional new wiring to allow addition of the new function. First, you'll need a trailer brake controller in the F-150 to generate braking signals for the brakes you will be installing on the trailer. I...

If you click the link I've provided, you can see what's needed to add brakes to a trailer that currently has idler hubs. The first thing you'll need to do is determine which wheel bearings your existing hubs use. Then, find the wheel bolt pattern and wheel diameter (last two numbers in the tire size) so the new hub/drums you choose will be compatible with your existing spindles...

- What Do I Need To Add Electric Brakes To My Carry All Trailer?We can definitely get you all the parts needed to add brakes to your trailer, but it is going to be an extensive list since there currently isn't anything on the axle. I did include an article regarding just this kind of situation, but lets get started. First things first, you will need something for brakes to mount onto. This will be done by having the Brake Mounting Flange # 4-34 welded onto the axle. This will need to be done by an experienced welded as the spacing and placement has...

- Installing 7-Way Trailer Plug on Trailer with Electric BrakesI recommend the Hopkins 7-way molded trailer wire connector # H20044.

If you prefer a longer connector, the same item is available in an 8 foot length as part # H20036 or an 11 foot length as part # HM20048. Please note that the color codes on these molded connectors are different from those usually found on a trailer. The wiring code is on each of the product pages. If you don't have some already,...

- Wiring Components Needed to Install New 7-Way Wiring on a Pop Up CamperTo totally rewire your 1994 Viking Pop Up camper with a new 7-way like the part # H20044 all you need is a wiring junction box like # 38656 and ring terminals for making the internal connections from the new plug and wiring. You can use part # DW05702-1 for 16 to 14 gauge wires and part # 44-5310A for 12 to 10-gauge wiring such as +12V power and brakes. I attached an install video that shows how to use the junction box to wire up the trailer as well. This makes the process easier by...

- In-Bed Trailer Connector For Slide In Truck Camper on 2007 Chevy Silverado New BodyTo install a 7-way in your truck bed, I'd recommend the Hopkins # 41157. This wiring harness would tap inline with the connection between the trailer wiring on the truck and the 7-way trailer connector. For a male connector on the camper with a length of cable, I'd recommend a molded 7-way connector/cable from Hopkins, which is available in various lengths: 3 foot- # H20042 4 foot- # H20043 6 foot- # H20044 8 foot- # H20046 The product page for each of the connector/cables I recommended...

This tow dolly comes equipped with electric brakes, but you would need to add a 7 way connector to the trailer and possibly a brake controller to your tow vehicle in order to make them work. For that reason, I recommend going with the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 since it comes equipped with a 4 way connector and...

Or if you are looking for something shorter you'd want the part # TLW6024 which is 24 inches long.

- Recommended Durable 7-way Trailer Connector PigtailHopkins does a very good job of constructing their molded 7-way trailer connector pigtails for durability, I can highly recommend part # H20044, which is 6 feet long. The best way to connect this to existing wiring is to use a junction box like # 3375601101. A junction box allows you to tidy up the connections, protect them from the elements and provides an easy way to change out the pigtail in the future should it become damaged again. One of the best ways to preserve the long term functionality...

Since your Torflex axle does not use leaf springs I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs - Straight Spindle - 3,500 lbs # A35RS545E which will bolt right up to your trailers frame and does not use leaf springs as it has built in progressive rate AEON springs....

- No Trailer Brakes When Echo Brake Controller is PairedThank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt Echo # C51180. Since the Echo and your phone are properly paired, the issue is almost certainly with your trailer's 7-way or wiring which is impeding the brake signal from getting through to your trailer brakes. Start by taking a look at your trailer's 7-way connector to to see if there is any type of damage or corrosion built up that may be hampering its functionality. If there is you will need to replace it with the 7-Way Molded Trailer...

If your current plug is still functioning then I recommend connecting to your vehicle and going through each function and testing the wires for power with a circuit tester # PTW2993 at the junction box of the trailer.

- Replacement for Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HDTo replace the 7-way on your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD I recommend the Reese Multi-Plug Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 74682 because it is an easy plug-in design. All you need to do is plug it into the 7-way socket on your truck and it will work as a replacement. For a trailer connector I recommend the Hopkins 7-Way RV Style Connector with Molded Cable # H20046 which is 8 feet long. If you want something shorter there is also the 6 foot # H20044 or 4 foot # H20043.

This is 10-feet long. Similar part # 50-97-410 is 9-feet. Such 90-degree harnesses are usually 8 to 10-feet long.

Since you're speaking of a travel trailer, I'll assume the trailer uses a 7-way trailer connector. The first thing you'll want to do is to make sure the reverse lamp circuit is active on the car's trailer connector. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the center pin on the connector as the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The pin should power up. Then, you'll need to see if the 7-way on the trailer is accessible...

This trailer connector does indeed use a different color code for its wires. It is specifically mentioned on the product page. The connector would wire up as follows- White wire is Ground, Red wire is Left TurnBrake lamp, Brown wire is Right TurnBrake lamp, Green is Taillights, Blue is Trailer Brakes, Black is 12-Volt power from battery and Yellow is an auxiliary circuit, frequently used for the reverse lamps.
