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
by: Jorge04/11/2022
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: 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: Scott05/20/2024
product seems fine, shipping is pretty bad. So many reviews mention damaged shipping packages. Mine was received with the hitch sticking out the side of the box. I would think with so many complaints that someone would figure out how to package these things, it's not rocket science.
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Paul 05/30/2024
sturdy bracket, good coating.
by: Ray 05/28/2024
Installation was quick. Straight forward and was exactly what was needed.
by: Wayne02/05/2024
Plug end didn't fit snug with bracket. (Loose)
Was looking for a tighter fit for the plug end.
Jenny N.

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: 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: 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.
12/13/2023
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.

- Can Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Subaru Outback be Routed to Outside Instead of Out of the HatchI have a possible solution that will allow you to mount a trailer wiring harness 4-Way on the outside of your 2017 Subaru Outback instead of running the wiring through the hatch. On the vehicle remove the flooring in the cargo area beyond what the trailer wiring harness instructions call for. Basically you need to get down to the metal of the cargo area floor. Then look for a grommet through which you can route the 4-Way end of the wiring harness through. If no grommet exists you could...
