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.
by: David 06/05/2024
Looks like a good quality plug, the only thing I can knock it for is there’s no bracket for securing it to the round tube on the receiver.

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: 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.

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: Harold J.04/10/2014
Nice product ,Easy to install and then worked as supposed to . I installed in bumper as opposed to the add on bracket that came with it ,made for a easier way to plug in trailer cord.

in my case I have to say that first look at YouTube from there I got the video with the description of the process and the number of the part of there just went to etrailer.com I put the # alone went out it was really easy to send fantastic just wait 4 days in regular shipment for the installed only you see that plug it in thank you I hope that some more will serve..
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.
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.

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!

2007 Chevrolet Silverado
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: Jerome 03/01/2024
Jaime B was very knowledgeable, helpful and nice.
by: Pete N.04/22/2017
Unit worked well as advertised. Old connecter had to stay (was welded) so I mounted off center a foot away. Now it protrudes 2 inches.

I use it infrequently. When I do use it, it works well. It would not mount as per instruction because of the factory offered trail hitch assy. Looks catiwhompus but does the job.

- Trailer Wiring Needed To Tow A Boat Trailer With A 2017 Ford Escape Hey Josh, If your 2017 Ford Escape has a tow package then you'll see a 7-pin round connector around the trailer hitch to plug the Hopkins # 30955 in. If you don't have this package/connector then you'll need the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118715. This will transfer your Escape's light signals through to the trailer. If your trailer has electric brakes then you'll need the # ETBC7 along with a brake controller. If it doesn't have brakes then the 4-pole is all you'll need....
view full answer... - How Can I Install The Hopkins 30955 On A 2019 Infiniti QX60 With No Tow PackageHello Robert, thanks for reaching out. What I recommend using is the Curt T-Connector # C56357. Then, since you already have the Hopkins # 30955, you can discard the 7-way socket that comes with the Curt harness. You will unplug the pigtail from the Hopkins # 30955 and connect it to the Curt harness. This way you will have all of the wiring, fuses and relays necessary for the tow package, and you will have a 7-way and 4-way on your vehicle.

If you already have the factory plug at the back then you're good to start towing, otherwise you need to check above your spare tire for the OEM wiring. If you find a bundle of wires you'll need the Pollak Kit # PK11898, but if you find a connector instead then you just need the Hopkins # 30955 and you'll...
view full answer... - Will The Curt 7-Way/4-Way Connector 57015 # C42JR Allow For Both Connectors To Be Used When Towing?You will want to use the Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way # 30955 to add a 4-way you can access while also using the 7-way blade connector. The Curt 57015 # C42JR does not allow for both the 7-way and 4-way doors to be opened at the same time. The Multi-Tow above will plug in the same USCAR connector the Curt would connect into. This will give you a separate 4-way which you can use for your Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If the 7-way on your tow vehicle is hard wired and does not use the USCAR connector...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2014 Ford F-150 With No Tow PackageThe hitch I recommend for your 2014 Ford F-150 is the TorkLift Trailer Hitch, part # TLF1005H. This is a Class lV hitch and has a dual 2 inch receiver opening. This hitch comes with 2 pins and clips so you can carry a hitch mounted carrier or bike rack while you tow. We also offer an adjustable shank for this hitch, part # TLM9000. This is a 12-3/4 inch long shank and is designed to fit the SuperHitch. If you need a ball mount for the adjustable shank I recommend the Magnum Ball Mount...

You'll need an EOH actuator, breakaway kit, and brake controller that is compatible with an EOH set up. First, for the actuator and breakaway kit you'll need the following: - Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes # K71-650 - Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802311 Then for the brake controller...

I also recommend etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit - 3" Rise or 4" Drop - 16,000 lbs Item # EBMK2416. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level. If your truck does not have the factory installed 7-Way trailer connector you can add one. Check up above...
view full answer... - Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 With Factory Step BumperYes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e82TR will fit your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the factory step bumper. I actually like this because it has a matte black finish as opposed to the other options that have a glossy black finish. The matte black blends in a little better and is more durable so it's an all around plus with this hitch installed. To tow a trailer you also need the Wiring Kit # TK82VR and then swap out the 7-Way with the Hopkins Adapter # 30955 so you have...

You'll want to start with the trailer connector on your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500. Get a tester # PTW2993 and test each terminal for function (running lights, let turn, right turn, stop). If the tester isn't lighting up then we know there's either a loose connection behind the connector, damage to the wire somewhere between the connector...

- How Can 7-Way/Brake Controller Install 2018 GMC Savana 3500 Cutaway There might be a round connector at the rear of your 2018 GMC Savana Cutaway which you could plug a Hopkins 7-way part # 30955 into but the cutaway models aren't all the same unfortunately. If you find the connector you can use the # 30955 but if not you'd need to use the # 37185 to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and you'd need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the blue wire of the adapter to the blue wire of the brake controller. Either setup will work great with...

There are both red and blue wires, as you noted. These are normally located next to the fuse block on the cab side as shown in the photo taken from the article. There is one wire of each color. If you have a factory 7-way you will need a wiring adapter to plug the controller in to the port under the dash. For instance...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for Towing with a 2018 Toyota HighlanderI took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Toyota Highlander and found on page 206 that the max weight rating for a trailer that doesn't have brakes is 1,000 lbs but if you do use brakes then it is 1,500 lbs for the 2.7L engine or 5,000 lbs for the 3.5L engine. You will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual. If you have the 2.7L engine or your trailer doesn't have brakes then I recommend going with the etrailer # e98844 which is rated for 6,000...

This connector will provide a 4-Way trailer connector at the rear of your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The hardest part about installing this wiring harness is accessing the wiring at the rear of the vehicle taillights. We have a video of the # 118425 Harness being installed on a 2007 model which will be very...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2009 GMC SierraIf your 2009 GMC Sierra is a 1500 then I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 75521. It has more capacity than most of the hitches without adding onto the price. I've linked a video of the install on a 2010 Sierra which will be the same for you. If your truck is not a 1500 then let me know so I can make the correct recommendation. Also, if you need trailer wiring I recommend part # C55384 for a 4-way connetor or part # 30955 for a 7-way. Whichever connects to your...
view full answer... - 7-Way Wiring for 2000 Chevy SilveradoIf you are looking to install 7-way wiring on your 2000 Silverado you can use part # PK11898 if there is a bundle of wires above your spare tire, or part # 30955 if there is a round plug with a cap on it above the spare. These items complete the factory wiring setup. If the truck has a working 4-pole harness like # C59496 you can upgrade this to a 7-way using kit # ETBC7. This will use your existing 4-pole wiring and will allow you to add the extra circuits found in the 7-way format. These...

You may need to install a 40-amp fuse in the location nearest the positive post to power the trailer 12V circuit and a 30-amp fuse to provide brake controller power.

- Replacement Trailer 7-Way Wiring Harness to Replace a Damaged One on a 2005 Toyota TacomaIf the factory trailer wiring harness on your 2005 Toyota Tacoma looks like the picure I've attached you can use part # 30955 to plug into that connector. This is a 7-way and 4-way connector that has a mounting bracket attached. If you don't have that type of connector or need a different kind of bracket, send me some pictures of what you have and I'll recommend something that works for you.

- Will Tekonsha Wiring for 2004 Ford F-150 Provide Power to 7-Way and 4-WayThe Tekonsha # 118247 doesn't have a 4-Way connector but if you swapped out the 7-Way for something like part # 30955 then yes, the Tekonsha wring would provide power to both the 7-Way and the 4-Way for your 2004 Ford F-150. Basically as long as the 4-Way is connected after the Tekonsha wiring then it will receive power. Attached is an installation video of this kit on a 2004 F-150 for you to check out.

You will use harness # 20127; this does not come with the controller so order it in addition to the Voyager. If at your rear bumper you have a bundle of wires you'll use # PK11898 for a 7-way. If instead you have a round connector with a cap, then use part # 30955, which will plug in to that connector. I have linked both...
view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Mercedes Sprinter Have Bracket for Trailer WiringThe Draw Tite hitch part # 75601 that you referenced does come with a bracket welded to the crosstube which is designed for trailer wiring to attach to. So what you could do is also get the 7-way/4-way part # 30955 which would plug into the round connector you have at the rear of the vehicle and then would bolt directly to this bracket and you'd be set!

- Parts Needed to Convert From Surge to Electric BrakesThe backing plate you are referring to is, I'm assuming, the brake mounting flange, which should be welded on. The dimensions of this are extremely important because it will determine the brake assemblies that fit. The Demco Trailer Brake Mounting Flange # DM60124 has a 2-3/4" pilot hole and has a 4 on 4-13/16" bolt pattern. This is uncommon compared to Brake Mounting Flange # 4-35 which is for 2-3/8" round axles and has 4 bolt holes which are 2-7/8" apart on center, which is what you...

- Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and 4-Way at Rear of 2018 Ford F-150The best option to give you a 7-way and a 4-way at the back of your 2018 Ford F-150 will be to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118283 for the custom fit connector and harness and then replace the connector with the part # 30955 which will then give you a 7-way and a 4-way.
