The 5-way flat connector is found on most newer boat trailers that have hydraulic brakes. The fifth wire in this model ties into the reverse lights on your vehicle so that a signal can be sent to your hydraulic brake actuator to disengage whenever the tow vehicle is put into reverse. To use this function, your actuator must have an electric reverse lockout with solenoid.
The 5-way design will also work with small utility trailers that have electric brakes. For this type of application, the fifth wire will need to be wired to correspond with your in-cab, electric brake controller.

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.
by: Robert08/26/2018
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.

Looks durable and should do the job.

I'm one of those people who do a lot of research before making a purchase. I am very happy with the quality of the Hopkins trailer connector and would highly recommend it.. Good quality products and excellent service from etrailer.com
by: Neal B07/06/2022
Worked great on my 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback. Unlike the previous generation (2021 and older) you DO NOT have to trim the internal metal bumper for clearance of the outer plastic bumper. Trimming the lower diffuser was pretty easy and only required a 3-1/4 in cut in depth and about 2-1/4 in width (If you want the gaps super tight). Remember to tape off the panels before you get started to prevent chips and paint scratches and you'll be set.

ONE YEAR AFTER THIS WIRING HARNESS IS STILL WORKING GREAT . THE PART IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED AND THE SERVICE AT ETRAILER IS AWSOME..... I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE THE WINTERS ARE VERY COLD AND THE ROADS ARE VERY SALTY AND IT HAS HELD UP GREAT.... AWSOME PRODUCT
by: Tim R.09/25/2014
Delivery was faster than I expected. I bought a converter with the appropriate adapters to go from a 4 wire vehicle to a trailer with turn signals separate from the brakes. I haven't done my final assembly yet, but I did take a few minutes to twist the wires together to make sure everything was going to work like it was supposed to. Instructions were clear, wires & converter were clearly labeled & preliminary hook up took less than 10 minutes.

Items were delivered as described and on time,Great experience!

etrailer is a great place. They have both quality equipment and parts, as well as excellent prices. If you need some advice, they can supply that as well. It is rare in the days of internet buying that you can find all three qualities from one store.
by: Dennis01/19/2018
This connector is built to last. A big step up from most flat 4 or 5 wire in quality.
With it's secure fitting dust/dirt cover I have no worries that the terminals
will stay clean and always make a good connection . The 3 year warranty is a
plus also.
by: Eddie01/22/2018
Not installed yet due to weather & travel. Prefer to 5 pin adapter kit. Like extra cable / wire length to connect to Jeep wire harness so all connections are in a protected space. Heavy duty and like dust cap.
by: Glenn V.08/06/2013
Product exactly as described. Etrailer.com delivered to my door within 3 days! As always excellent communication and transaction.
Will continue to use them for all my trailering needs.
by: Herald k.05/26/2016
I needed to change from a 4 prong trailer connection to a 5 prong. The product was easy to wire and works great. A good product and I would recommend it to anyone.
by: Steve - Air20606/07/2015
Great Product. Each terminal is identified in the plastic plug end - making wiring and troubleshooting easier.
Comes with a decorative and protective loom and covering end cap.
by: Michael10/27/2017
Attached easily. Nice that NO extra bracket is needed to attach to the bumper.
by: Smits02/23/2017
A quality built wiring harness. Heavy duty and well constructed.

Excellent product with simplicity made this a breeze to connect. works like a charm!!

Great quality piece. Will made wiring my Jeep to my trailer so much easier.

We are a hitch install shop that specializes in all things towing and this wiring was installed multiple times over the last year, this is the best wiring to upgrade to the 5 flat that will last long because the wires and 5 flat head is more durable than some alternative options.
by: Robert05/26/2016
Great product, good prices very good customer service would highly recommend.

- 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter for Boat Trailer with Electric Reverse LockoutYes, there are 7-Way to 5-Way adapters that you can use. If you want one that is just a 7-Way to 5-Way then # A75TB is a great option. I have linked a video review for you. If you want something that is a little more versatile we have # 37385 which is a 7-Way to 4- and 5-Way. I have linked a video review of this adapter as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Compatible with 2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra ClassicWe don't have any custom wiring harnesses for motorcycles. You can use the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C59496 for the separate turn signals, running light, and brake light. If you are connecting to a trailer, the 5th function for a 5 way can be added using the # HM47900 with that 5th wire being either an auxiliary power option or a trailer brake controller output. If your trailer has brakes, you will want to use...
view full answer... - Where Does Fifth Pin of Trailer 5-Way Run to Activate Reverse Lock Out SolenoidSounds like you are trying to activate a reverse lock out solenoid on a surge brake trailer so that it can back up freely. The fifth pin that is the furthest from the jacketed ground pin is the fifth circuit to use. This circuit would need to tap into the reverse light circuit of your tow vehicle. I attached an install video for the 5-way adapter part # 47515 that shows this process on a 2014 GMC Acadia.
view full answer... - Converting 7-Way on VW Touareg to Tow Motorcycle Trailer w/ Separate Turn SignalsThe problem you're having is that the signals coming out of your 7-way on the vehicle are converted. This means that the right turn/brake, two functions are combined on one circuit, and the left turn/brake is combined on another. Your trailer, however uses one wire for brake lamps, one for right turn and one for left turn. In order to get the taillights on that trailer to work they way you want them to, you'll need to use a Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, part # 118158 to 'split...

- Parts Needed to Make Custom 7-way to 5-Pole Wiring Harness for Light on Bike RackTo complete your wiring with a 7-way cord, taillight converter and 5-pole connector I recommend using a few other similar items to give you a cleaner and potentially more reliable setup. Instead of cutting part # A57CCB you could use coiled 7-way plug/cord # WG54006-043, converter # 118158 and 5-pole vehicle-side connector # HM47900. To make the wire connections you can use butt connectors # DW05744-10.

However, I can give some insight and do my best to point you in the right direction. Since you have a 7 way on the back, you can just plug in Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector - 11' Long # HM20048 which will provide the necessary lighting circuits for the headache rack. Use a tester such as # PTW2992 to determine the function of each...

- How to Make 5-Way Extension HarnessIf you wanted to make a 5-way extension you would want to use the part # HM47900 and then the # HM47910 as well. You would need to connect the wires of each connector together matching them by color and you'd have a 36 inch long 5-way extension.

Another option is to use the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 which has just the 5th function wire to connect to your reverse signal. This adapter simply requires less splicing. I've attached a video of this install to assist. I've...

- Installing 5-Way Trailer Connector on 2011 Ford Explorer to Control Reverse Lockout on Boat TrailerIf you already have a trailer wiring harness and 4 to 5-Way adapter like # 20036 then the easiest way to get to the reverse light circuit is to gain access to the wiring behind the reverse lights. This can be difficult if the reverse lights are on the hatch. If they are then they also have to run out from the hatch and into the body at some point, most likely near the top where the hatch hinges. If you keep following it you should be able to find a good place to tap into the reverse light...
view full answer... - Do You Need an Adapter To Connect a 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector to 5-Way Flat Vehicle Connector? You can plug your Trailer End 4-Way # HM48110 directly into the Vehicle End 5-Way # HM47900 without needing an adapter.
view full answer... - Wiring for Towing Motorcycle Trailers with a 2013 Toyota VenzaMotorcycles and trailers made for motorcycles have separate brake lights and turn signals. Trailer wiring harnesses for vehicles combine the brake and turn signals onto the same circuit. That is why there is a discrepancy. You will essentially have to make an adapter starting with wiring harness # 118482. On the output side cut off the 4-Way connector. You will need to hardwire the wires to another converter, # 118158. The brown wire will bypass the second converter. Then on the output...
view full answer... - Replacement Options for Titan Model 20 Brake Actuator for Disc BrakesYou can replace your old Titan Model 20 with the current version of this brake actuator. If you do not need an electric lockout the correct replacement is the # T4750700. If you need an electric lockout, or would like to add it while you're redoing the trailer, then you can use the # T4750720. If you are adding electric lockout you will also need to add a 5-way to the trailer like the # HM47900 as well as the Curt Adapter # C57187 on your vehicle.
view full answer... - Convert 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat for Motorcycle Trailer w/Separate Turn Signals and Brake LightsTo make this work you are going to either have to convert the trailer to a combined system or the 4-Way on the Outback into a separate system. If you want an aftermarket 4-Way and the vehicle is not a Sport model then you can use # 118467. Its actually easy to do. And since you want to keep the bike the same and the trailer the same, converting the wiring on the vehicle is the way to go. You will actually need just 2 items. First you will need a special converter, # 118158. Have the...
view full answer... - Adding 5-Way Flat Connectors to Trailer and Vehicle to Use Electric Reverse LockoutThe electric reverse lockout included with Titan disc brake kit # T4748800 requires at least a 5-Way flat on the trailer and vehicle. The lockout solenoid gets power from the reverse light circuit from the vehicle. When the vehicle is placed in reverse it powers the solenoid and does not allow fluid to go back to the trailer brakes. It is actually easy to add a 5-Way flat to the vehicle and the trailer. On the trailer side, you just need to cut off the 4-Way and install a 5-Way flat in...
view full answer... - Wiring Harness for a Honda Valkyrie to Tow an Escapade Motorcycle TrailerActually, you would not need a converter style wiring harness on your Honda Valkyrie because motor cycles also have separate turn signal and brake like circuits like your Escapade trailer. All I need to know is what kind of connector is on the trailer so that we can get you the matching one for the bike. I looked at some pictures of the trailer and it looks like it uses a 5-Way flat connector. For a vehicle side 5-Way flat you can use # HM47900. The wire with the ring terminal is the...
view full answer... - How to Make 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter with All Active PinsSounds like you are trying to come up with a 7-way to 5-way that has all pins active but specifically the reverse light circuit. You could use the part # A7WCB you mentioned and wire a vehicle side 5-way to it like part # HM47900 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Backup Without Putting on the Surge Brakes When Parking or Launching a Boat TrailerYes, there is a way to back up your boat trailer and keep the surge brake actuator, # T43397007K, from applying pressure to the trailer brakes. You will need an electric lockout solenoid, # T4748800, which will close when you shift the vehicle into reverse, allowing the trailer to be backed. Along with the solenoid, you will need a solenoid cover, # T4835800183, if your actuator is the model 60 actuator that you referenced. The cover will keep the solenoid from getting stepped on and damaged...
view full answer... - On a Trailer Towed by 2008 Honda Ridgeline Trailer has Running Lights but No Turn or Brake LightsIf your 2008 Honda Ridgeline has a factory trailer wiring harness, check the owner's manual for any fuses and relays related to the tow package wiring that may need to be replaced. If everything checks out or if you have an aftermarket wiring harness like # 118400 then use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the pins on the connector. If the pins on the connector do not show the proper signals, then you know there is a wiring issue with the Ridgeline wiring that needs to...
view full answer... - Availability Of a 5-Way Flat Extension 12" to 18" Long I do have a solution for you as we do not have any 5-way flat extensions. You can cut and splice the Vehicle End # HM47900 to the Trailer End # HM47910 at the length you need. I recommend making the connections with Heat Shrink But Connectors # DW05744-5 to help keep moisture away from the connections.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 5-Way Trailer Connection on 1986 Jeep Grand WagoneerA 5-way is not normally an OEM option on vehicles, so there is a very good chance it is not an OEM part. With the pins spread out more, that makes it even less likely to be an OEM 5-way as the plugs have not changed shape or width since 1986. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the wiring functions. I've attached a video to assist. The 5th function will either be reverse light function that will only come on when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, or a brake...
view full answer... - How to Use 4-Way Wiring of Trailer to Power Interior Lights from BatteryYou'll need to first convert the 4-way of your trailer to a 5-way since a 4-way does not carry an aux circuit that can be used for interior lights. If you were to wire the interior lights to 4-way wiring you'd end up having to have the exterior trailer lights powered at same time since it would have to be combined. So on the trailer end you'd want to install the part # HM47910 matching the current circuit colors with what you have now and then having the 5th pin run to the interior lights. Then...
view full answer... - Replacing 7-Way Trailer Connector with Smaller Connector to Tow a Trailer with BrakesA 6-way round trailer connector, like # HM48420, once it's mounted isn't going to be much smaller than a 7-way. If you don't need any functions other than running, brake, and turn lights along with the brake circuit I suggest going with a 5-way flat connector like # HM47900. To put a 5-way on both your tow vehicle and trailer you can use the kit # HM47890 that includes both connectors.
view full answer... - 7,000 lb Hyudraulic Actuator for Drum Trailer Brakes with Trailer Brake Lock Out for Backing UpThe Titan Brake Actuator, # T43397007K, that you referenced does not include a lockout system for backing your trailer. If you have a surge brake actuator that works well but doesn't have an electric lockout solenoid, # T4748800, can be added to allow you to back the trailer the same as adding it would work with the new actuator. Along with the solenoid you will need a shield, # T4835800183, to protect the solenoid from damage, and you will need to upgrade the 4-Way connector on your...
view full answer... - How to Make 6-Way to 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector AdapterA 6-way round to a 5 flat can be made but since the demand for this type of adapter is very low none of our manufacturers offer one. What you would need is 5-way vehicle side with lead like # HM47900 and then wire it to a 6-way plug part # PK11604 and you'd have the adapter you'd need.
