Poor fit for the plug. Had to use two cable ties to keep the plug from falling out.

Exactly what I needed!
Well, almost what I needed.
I checked the order,read the instructions and went out to make short work of the installation. Of course the backup lights (and wiring) were on the hatchback without any access! So I took it to my mechanic who graciously outsmarted Lexus and got it all installed without a hitch (pun intended).
Bottom line - great products (5 pole flat plug and mounting bracket)..

I usually don't write reviews but I am going to on this one. I basically challenged myself to saving some money by purchasing a custom trailer wiring harness for my 2009 Murano. I had a little trouble ordering online since I needed a five pole setup for my trailer brakes. I decided to call etrailer for help. The woman that answered helped me down to every detail including the 4-pole to 5-pole adaptor and wiring. She was great. Now the best part was yet to come. Installing and wiring these is pretty easy accept for the painful task of disassembling panels in the rear of the vehicle. Etrailer had an "exceptional" youtube video specifically for my 2009 Murano that walked me though absolutely every little detail of the install including panel removals. It was particularly cool because I could watch the step by step video on my iPhone and stop and start it as I went along. Now how cool is that!!!

The products I purchased to wire my Wrangler for towing my boat trailer with surge brakes worked perfectly. The product quality is good. Ordering was made easy by staff. Products were delivered promptly.

Couldn't use this product because plastic bumper cover was not sturdy enough to mount this bracket.
by: Mark E.10/22/2017
The part I ordered was to wide for the 5 flat I purchased. I was able to make it work for my application. I will keep looking for the proper bracket. Called customer service but what was suggested wouldn't work either.
by: Chris P.07/07/2015
This bracket worked great with the Wesbar 5 wire flat harness , item # 20016.
by: Michael04/08/2013
This is a good bracket but the opening is too big for the 5-flat connector (Hopkins) that eTrailer is selling.
by: Jeremy M.03/26/2014
Came in as described. Although the self tapping screws broke. Had drill holes and use strong screws. But mount is secure and holds 5flat end securely.
by: H. David F.03/18/2015
This is a great product, it went well with my new curt hitch. I recommend this product!
by: Tong07/09/2018
Must have with conversion kit. Well made and help keeps things clean looking.
by: Stan02/13/2012
exactly what I wanted to keep the wires neat and out of the way. I would highly recommend that you also by the 5-pole dust cap for additional protection

So far it is holding up just fine. Part is still good, no rust starting. Live in WI, salty winter roads.

Solid build, make sure it fits your 5-flat before purchase
by: Dwight06/14/2016
Works as advertised
by: Chris06/29/2011
This gives the installation of the 5 prong plug a nice finished look. My only problem was that I had to drill holes to make it fit, but that wasn't a big deal.
by: Mitch O.03/02/2015
Just what I ordered good product and quick shipping.

- How to Install the Reverse Wire on a 5-Way Trailer Connector on a 2008 F-150 4x4When installing the 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, item # 20036, on your 2008 F-150 you will need to use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993 if needed, to find the backup light circuit behind one of the vehicle tail lights. We have a help video that shows the process in detail on a different vehicle. I would also recommend using the Mounting Bracket for 5-Pole Flat, item # TR20046, to secure the 5-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle.
view full answer... - Will Draw Tite Hitch 75758 fit a 2015 Ford EscapeThe Draw Tite Hitch part # 75758 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Ford Escape. Since this already has a wiring bracket tab welded to the side of the hitch opening the # tr20046 would work well as it would bolt right up to it. Then for trailer wiring the # 118566 has been confirmed as a fit as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop...
view full answer... - Converting a 4 Pole Connector on a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser to a 5 Pole Boat Trailer ConnectorUsually when you have a boat trailer with a 5 pole connector the trailer has hydraulic surge brakes and not electric brakes and you would not use a brake controller. The additional blue wire is for a reverse lockout on your hydraulic surge brakes to deactivate them while the tow vehicle is in reverse. If your boat trailer is the only trailer you plan on towing then you will want to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 pole trailer connector, part # 118405, and you will want...
view full answer... - What is the Function of the Blue Wire on Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036Typically the blue wire on the Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 20036, is run to the reverse light circuit of the tow vehicle to provide a reverse lockout feature for the surge brakes on the trailer. If this is the case, you will remove your tail light assembly, find the positive wire that runs to your reverse lights and use the included quick splice connector to splice the blue wire from the # 20036 into your reverse light circuit. I have included a link to an...
view full answer... - What Is The Distance Between The Mounting Holes on 5-Pole Mounting Bracket tr20046The Mounting Bracket # tr20046 has measurement of 1-3/4 inches from center to center on the mounting holes. Self tapping screws are included. For a no drill option The Short Bracket # 18140 or Long Bracket # 18136 need to be attach attached to the hitch and then attach the connector mount to the no-drill bracket. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Parts Needed For Adding a 5-Way Flat Pin Connector To a 2020 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedFor installing a 5-pin flat connector on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will need a 4-way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 and the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036. There is currently not a single kit that will give you the 5-way flat connector you are looking for. While the 4-way flat will connect to your factory tail light wiring you will need to tap into the reverse wire with the included quick splice connector. We do have a Mounting Bracket # tr20046...
view full answer... - How To Install 5-Way Trailer Connector On 2012 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-WayThe only option to install a 5-way trailer connector on a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is with an adapter, the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter part # C57187. In order to mount this you'll need the Mounting Bracket for Wesbar 5-Pole Flat part # tr20046. There are unfortunately no plug-in-play options to install a 5-way trailer connector. In regards to installation, you'd simply need to find the reverse light wire behind the tail lights but we don't have any videos of this.
view full answer... - Will the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Adapter Work on a 2008 Ford EdgeAs long as your 2008 Ford Edge has a 4-flat trailer connector already installed, then yes, you can use the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Adapter, # 20036. The additional blue wire will simply need to be spliced into the vehicles reverse light circuit. You can use the provided quick splice or any other splicing method that you prefer. You will need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test for the reverse light circuit behind your taillight assembly to ensure you are splicing the...
view full answer... - What Style of Trailer Connector is Recommended for the Mounting Bracket # tr20046The Mounting Bracket # tr20046 that you referenced is designed to used with 5-way flat connectors. You didn't say what harness you have, but it would need to be a 5-way like the # 20036.
view full answer... - Will the No-Drill Trailer Wiring Harness Mounting Bracket Fit a Round Tube Trailer HitchThe no-drill mounting bracket # 18140 has that hose clamp type of device that will hold it tight to a round or square tube trailer hitch. If the clamp is properly tightened down it will not slip. There are different additional mounts you can use depending on the type of connector you have. For a 4-Way flat use # 18144 5-Way flat use # tr20046 7-Way Blade Style use # 18138 with long bracket # C57202 4, 5, or 6-Way round use # RM-910030-5
view full answer... - What Brand of 4-Way Trailer Connectors Fits Tow Ready 4-Way Connector Mounting BracketThe 4-Pole mounting bracket # 18144 is designed for Tow Ready brand 4-Way trailer connectors but could also fit other brands such as Curt wiring harnesses. Some 4-Ways have an extra thick housing that is not compatible. This seems to be the case with Hopkins brand 4-Ways so I would not use this bracket for a Hopkins 4-Way. You could instead try the # tr20046.
view full answer... - What is the Distance Between the mounting Holes on 5-Pole Mounting Bracket tr20046I went out to the warehouse and pulled 5-pole mounting bracket # tr20046. The center to center distance between the mounting holes is 1-3/4 inches.

- Replacing 4-pin Plug with a 5-Way Plug So I Can Back My TrailerIf you have a working 4 pin trailer connector and a boat trailer with surge brakes, then you will not need a 4-pin wiring harness. If your trailers 5-pin connector is the flat style you can use the 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 47515, and splice it into the reverse light circuit behind one of the taillights with the quick splice that is included with the adapter. If you need an extension for your trailer connection to mount the five-pole connector to a bracket, part #...
view full answer... - Installing 5-Way Trailer Connector On My 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe w/ Tow PackageYou will need to plug in a 4-Way harness into your tow package and then use a 5-Way adapter. You will need to use tow package wiring # 118258 to first equip your vehicle with a 4-Way plug. Once the 4-Way is installed, you will then add a 4 to 5-Way adapter, 20036, which will need to be connected to the reverse light circuit as you mentioned. You will just plug the adapter into the new 4-Way and hook up the reverse light wire to complete the installation. Most of the wiring of part # 118258,...
view full answer... - Backup Light Connection For Activation of Surge Coupler Backup Solenoid on a Toyota TundraThere are two options for energizing the backup solenoid on your trailer to allow you to backup. The first is an adapter like you mentioned. The 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, # 20036, is designed to be easily installed and removed once the blue wire is spliced into the vehicles reverse light circuit, behind one of the rear tail lights. A circuit tester, # 3808 if needed, is required to determine the correct wire to splice the blue wire to. The second option is to use a 5-Way...
view full answer... - Which Brackets are Needed to Mount a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector on a VehicleIt looks like you have purchased the mounting bracket for a 5-Way flat, # tr20046, when you got the wiring harness. The no-drill brackets, # C57202 or # 18140, will attach to the bracket that you recently purchased. You will not need any additional brackets. I have included a link to a video that, in part, shows the tr20046 bracket being installed.

the product is working just as great as the day I put it in which is over a year ago. I have used it more than 200 times and its still holding except for one of MY screws I put in broke the head off about 4 months ago but the mount and plug are in use weekly and are holding up awesome. I still recommend this set to all that need to go from 4 to 5 prong and the adapter with mount are the ticket you cannot go wrong.
