Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado
Today on our 2005 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab, we're going to install part number 30955. This is a replacement multi-tow 7-way and 4-way trailer connector. We're going to replace the original 7-pole connector That came with the vehicle. This is how it came to us, so you can see that the connector has seen better days. To remove our 7-pole connector, there's a tab right here that we push down and pull out. Sometimes there may be a little gray tab or a lock that fits around this.
You just push down in the center of it and just push it out of the way, then put it back when you're done. We don't have that one, so we'll just push down on this tab and pull it apart. This is our new part that's going to replace the OEM connector. This will simply just plug right back in, like this. However, we're going to take this and route it down towards the bottom of our hitch, toward our pre-existing mounting bracket. This is the bracket that comes with the part.
However, we're going to use the pre-existing one. A good location for this if you wanted to install it, would be right here. It does come with the hardware to install the bracket. However, self-tacking screws will work best in this application here. Let's go ahead and route our wire harness down.
Before we add our new connector, we'll go ahead and put some dilectic grease on the contacts to help protect them. We're using part number 11755. Let's go ahead and route this through our bracket. We'll go ahead and make our connection. We'll just push the two together, make sure they line up OK, and squeeze them until they click. Now we'll use the hardware that comes with the kit, to attach our 7-pole to the bracket.
With our hardware loosely assembled, we'll go ahead and tighten it down, using a flat-blade screw driver. Typically, this star washer on the back will give enough grip; we don't need a wrench. If you do, a 3/8 will work just fine. We'll go ahead and route our wire harness up and out of the way, make sure it's safe and secure with some zip ties. Zip ties don't come with the kit, so you might want to go ahead and get extra long zip ties to go around the hitch. In just a few minutes we've got a new 7-pole connector plus a 4-pole connector installed on our truck. That will do it for our replacement multi-tow 7-way and 4-way trailer connector on our 2005 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab. .

etrailer had what we needed. At times it is not easy locating accessory parts on vehicles not factory installed. Easy to navigate site to find and compare the exact parts we were looking for.

Product was exactly what I was looking for and thanks to the hitch system previously purchased, it was fabricated for a perfect fit. Also, the first one that came in was busted up a little, etrailer immediately sent a new one out with no hassle. Great company.
by: Mark 04/03/2024
Perfect fit just plug and play good quality hitch.
by: Jason09/18/2019
Great fit works good has 7way rv plug and the regular flat 4 plug no need for adapters to lose or have stolen.
by: Randall B.05/01/2017
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was easy to install and has worked just fine in pulling my several trailers. For the price, an excellent deal. The 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Connector by Hopkins was a disappointment because the cap that doubles as a dust cover and latch to the adapter has come off and missing after a few months. This cap is not replaceable, the whole connector would have to be replaced.

Exact fit for my 06 GMC Sierra it took longer to get my spare tire down than to install the tow package. My spare was stuck.

Perfect! I used this on a single cab Chevy Silverado 1500. Plugged into factory trailer lights near spare tire, mounted it up, plugged in trailer and everything worked just like it should. My truck does not have a spare tire so I removed the spare tire keyhole mount and cut some of the bumper to fit the adapter. My truck did not require a ECM/PCM flash of any kind, although I hear some vehicles may have to.
by: RL Adams06/20/2017
I installed this today. Took around 90 minutes but part of that was learning how to get the spare out of the way. I drilled two holes in the bottom of the bumper because of where I wanted the connector to be placed. All necessary hardware came with the unit. This was very easy to do after watching etrailer's How To video. Good job guys, great product.

I bought this 7 way trailer connector to replace a broken one on my 2006 Chevy 2500HD. It was an easy install and only took a few minutes to complete. I tested it with my trailer connected and all works fine.
The shipping was super fast.
Thanks , etrailer.
by: Kevin07/26/2019
Cathy T. was very good help. She set me up with the correct parts for our 2001 Chevy so we can have a 7 prong plug in at the bumper and in the box.
We got rid of the cobbled up mess that started giving us trouble and now everything works great. The plug and play took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete. We will do business again if needed. Thanks again Cathy T. and etrailer!
by: Ed A.04/15/2019
The product was an exact one-for-one replacement. However, I ended up having to replace the female connector due to corrosion. This took a bit of time. The result was all new connections that work fine. Thanks for all your assistance.

2007 ChevroletSilverado
My 2007 Classic Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 did not have a factory hitch receiver, so I selected the 13322 Curt Hitch Receiver because it closely resembles the OEM hitch receiver and attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Installation was easy, as shown in the videos and described by other reviewers. All holes aligned perfectly. I did not remove the spare tire as it is not necessary. I used two jack stands to raise/support the receiver frame in place while I started the first bolts. I had the 22mm and 19mm sockets needed to tighten and torque the bolts/nuts. It looks great and I now am able to tow.
For the wiring I installed the 30955 Hopkins 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors to the bumper adjacent to the license plate. This required drilling a 2-1/8" hole in the bumper, which was time consuming, but it now resembles a factory installation. I was able to remove the license plate and connect to the factory plug.
I ordered these parts from etrailer for a number of reasons: 1) The website is intuitive and contains a tremendous amount of information for the person who is trying to research product information; 2) the selection and inventory is amazing; 3) the prices are very competitive – free shipping for orders over $99; and 4) the dedicated customer service is outstanding – the email communication is prompt. I ordered on a weekend and it was delivered by the following Friday.
A very positive first experience.
by: Walker 05/16/2023
Quick shipping. And best part they sent me the correct hitch and plug in. No complaints here!
by: Jeffrey03/22/2023
The male prongs on the plug on the wire end were too short and did not engage.
The lights would not work. I bought another brand plug that the prongs were longer on and it worked fine.

- Availability of a Replacement 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connector for a 2008 Ford F-250 Super DutyThere are a couple of options for 7-Way and 4-Way connectors that you can use for a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty. First, you could use # 30955 that you have referenced. It fits 1997 to current Ford full size trucks. You can also use Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # C55774. Both of these connectors come with a mounting bracket so they will not fit in the exact same place as the original 7-Way, but they will plug in to the factory wiring harness.

There will be a bundle of wiring that is typically tucked up above the spare tire and The Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket # PK11898 will work.

- Recommended 7 Way Trailer Plug For A 1999 Chevy SuburbanIf you have bare wires on your 1999 Chevy Suburban and no 7 Way plug, I highly recommend going with the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998. This is the plug that is being used on the newer GM trucks and full size SUVs and will give you a 7 Way plug and a 4 Flat, so no adapter will be needed if you ever pull a smaller trailer. It also includes the mounting bracket, needed hardware, and butt connectors to get it all ready to go.

If this is the case and there is not a round plug with a cap above the spare tire you will need the 7-pole, RV-style trailer connector, wiring harness, # PK11898, to connect to the wire bundle found above the spare tire. If your truck has the round plug and cap above the spare tire, you will need the 4-pole and 7-pole connector, part # 30955, which will plug into the round OEM connector once the protective cap is...

- Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness for a 2019 Honda RidgelineIf you are looking for only a 4-Way Flat connector for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline then I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118778 because it has higher amp ratings than the Curt option and we have found the Tekonsha wiring units to be the most reliable out there. This connector gives you the basic lighting functions that you need for a smaller trailer and can be mounted using the Tow Ready # 18144 and a no-drill bracket like part # 18140. Since you have a pickup I do recommend installing...
view full answer... - 7 and 4-Way Recommendation for 2003 Ford F-150What you would want then is to use the part # 118242 that you mentioned but swap out the included 7-way for the part # 30955 which will fit the harness of the # 118242 but includes a 7-way that has a 4-way mounted to the side of it.
view full answer... - Recommendation for Simple, Inexpensive Brake Controller for a 2003 GMC SierraFor your application I recommend the Draw-Tite Activator IV # 5504 which will install in your 2003 GMC Sierra with the Adapter # 3015-P. The Activator IV is a cost-effective time delayed controller that comes with a limited lifetime warranty and only has 4 buttons plus the manual slide for manually applying the trailer brakes. All of this basically means that this is a simple inexpensive controller like what you're looking for. Attached is a sample installation video that you can check...

view full answer... - 7-Way/4-Way Trailer Wiring Connector for 2011 Honda PilotI have a way to install a 4-way and 7-way on your 2011 Honda Pilot but you'll need to first start with the 7-way kit part # 118253 which you mentioned. This gives you a standard 7-way wiring but then you'd need to replace the 7-way socket with a Hopkins part # 30955 and you have the combined 4-way and 7-way you are looking for.

view full answer... - Options For Replacing Factory Trailer Wiring On A 2006 Chevy SilveradoIf you want to replace just the 7 way plug on the back we do offer a replacement for the factory 7 way plug in part # 30955. This will plug in to the factory harness and give you a 4 way and 7 way plug. If you are wanting to completely replace the factory harness, we can offer you a wiring setup that would hardwire into the vehicles harness. For a 4 flat connector you can install the # 119178KIT. If you want to upgrade it to a 7 way you can add on the # ETBC7 Kit. This will be everything...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha Brake Controller on a 2003 Ford F-150 with 4-Way Flat ConnectorIf the 4-Way Flat connector on your 2003 Ford F-150 is from the factory then you simply need the Tekonsha OEM Tow Package Wiring # 118242 for a 7-Way connector and the Adapter # 3035-P to connect a Tekonsha brake controller to the plug under your driver's side dash. If you haven't already decided on a Tekonsha brake controller I highly recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 because of the LCD screen that makes it much easier to use than the previous models that require you to remember codes.

What I recommend is to add the Replacement Custom Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors part # 30955. This will give you a 4-way and 7-way to use any time you'd like. This will plug into the already existing 7-way plug on the rear of the truck and can be permanently attached eliminating the need for an adapter....

Doing that would cause the issues you are having so what you need to do is replace the harness with the Replacement Custom Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connectors # 30955. This will work without anything else so long as you didn't try and splice into the wiring AFTER the truck's factory plug. If you spliced the wires after the plug you will...

If you have the factory 7-way on your 2004 Suburban there is nothing further needed. If you don't have the factory trailer connector you will also need # 30955. If you don't have the factory wiring at all, then you will need # ETBC7 kit. I've attached an article to further assist.

- Trailer Wiring Harness and Bracket for a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HDIf your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD came with a factory installed 7-Way originally then you can use 7- and 4-Way connector # 30955 which comes with a mounting bracket. It doesn't fit directly in the same place as the factory connector but it does plug into the factory harness under the truck. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. If your truck has the factory spot in the bumper for a connector and the factory tow package then you can use # PK11916. I have linked a video...

It fits larger cab & chassis models. Instead hitch # C15703 is a 2-1/2 inch reveiver that fits. I've linked a video from when we installed it on a 2003 Silverado for you. If you also need trailer wiring I recommend # 30955 for your truck.

If your 2000 Sierra pickup has a 10-inch deep-drop bumper you can use Curt Class V hitch # C15317. If it has a standard or step bumper you can use Class V hitch # C15325.

If it was the # 30955 harness that got cut, it would be easiest to go ahead and replace it. If the factory socket was cut off, then you could use the Pollak 4-foot pigtail # PK11998 to attach the # PK11893 7-Way plug you referenced.

Or, if there is only a bundle of wires there you would need to hardwire the # 30955 to the wires. Most likely you will use the # HM40975 though as most trucks have plug. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885....
