Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Hopkins Plug-in Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with a 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. This product fits a 1987 to 1988 Ford Bronco and it provided a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer signal lights. This is compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters. Adapters are sold separately and it comes with a dust cap for the 4-way flat connector that way you can cover up the connection points whenever your plug's not being used. Now this is designed to connect quickly and easily. You don't have to worry about cutting or splicing any wires, just locate the connection point behind the rear bumper and then you plug in this connector.

Once this connector is plugged in to the connection points on the vehicle, you'll then need to make a ground connection, that's a white wire with a ring terminal attached to it. You want to get that grounded to a suitable grounding location with the included grounding screw.And then you would route your wiring and we recommend for this to be stowed beneath the vehicle near the trailer hitch. And we do recommend a mounting bracket to keep the connector secured and easily accessible. So route your wiring to where you want your plug and then secure your wiring with included cable tie. It also comes with some terminal grease so it is recommended that you use a small amount of terminal grease in all your electrical connections, like the plugs on the vehicle and the 4-pole connector itself because that grease is designed to prevent corrosion.

It's a really nice design, very easy installation. It's a plug and go. You also have a connection point here, so again, this plugs in to the connection point behind the rear bumper. These two pieces plug together. Again, you'd want to use some terminal grease on that.

Ground connection, run the wiring and then you have the plug that would easily attach to the 4-way connector of your trailer. That's going to do it for today's look at the Hopkins Plug-in Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with a 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector.
