Video Transcript for Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Installation - 2022 Chevrolet Colorado
Hi there Chevy owners. Today nears 2022 Chevrolet Colorado. We're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Hopkins custom fit vehicle wiring harness. And this is what our harness looks like when it's installed. You can see this is gonna pop right in to the factory location where your factory connector would be. So this is a great option for installing one on a vehicle that doesn't have it cause it'll hook to the blunt cut wires located below.
Or if you happen to damage your connector here while working, maybe something slammed into your factory one. You can also use this harness as a replacement harness to get that fixed on that vehicle as well. It's gonna be exactly like the factory one on top. You'll have your seven way connector. It's gonna be a spring loaded latch on there that has a seal on the inside to keep out dirt, debris, and moisture.
And on bottom we've got a four pole connector so you can hook up to just about any trailer. And this one also is spring loaded with seals as well. We'll begin our insulation here at the back of the vehicle on the driver's side just here on the side of the frame rail. You'll find all of your blunt cut wiring for hooking up your connector here at the back. It is gonna be wrapped in electrical tape.
I went ahead and already pulled that tape off of here and then I went and just kind of pushed all the wires apart so we can make our connections. We're gonna go ahead and start with our power wire. Just get that one out of the way. That's gonna be the orange one. This is gonna be live so you don't want to touch that against any metal surface.
It's not gonna be able to shock you but if you touch this against anything metal after you strip it off, it will make a little spark show for you and you don't want that to happen. That's gonna hook to the red wire here on the harness that we've got. So I'm gonna go ahead and have this side strip back and ready. Then we're gonna grab our cutters. You can just strip it back right on the piece here but we don't want all that wire exposed so we're gonna cut some of this off first. I'm gonna basically cut it with just a hair of it left on there, something like this and then we'll use our strippers now to strip that back. And be careful too with your strippers. These are metal too, so if your strippers are touching the wire and they touch something metal you will also have a little light show. So we're gonna come up in here now and strip this back. Now that's our live wire. So now we're gonna think about connector and this actually isn't the ones that come in your kit. You can just get regular butt connectors in your kit and I would recommend not using any of those because they will not seal up. So moisture's gonna be able to get down on 'em which can cause corrosion and can lead to premature failure. So if you want a long lasting connection here on your connector without that's not gonna give you issues down the road. I'd recommend upgrading to these heat shrink butt connectors. We do sell these here at etrailer so you can get those to seal up your wiring. We're gonna slide our butt connector on and crimp it onto the wire. We can then grab our other end here. We already stripped back the red cause that is gonna be the power wire for our connector side. So we'll get our crimpers in place there slide our red wire in and then make our connection. All right, so we've got that one connected. At this point we're gonna do the same thing for each of our wires and making sure that we hook up each one to the correct circuit there. So I'm gonna go ahead and get 'em all connected and then we'll just show you which color from your harness will connect to which color here on the vehicle. All right, so we've made the rest of our connections here. So the first one we did was our orange to red. That's our power circuit. Next, the white wire that comes with the harness here actually has a ring terminal on it for connecting it to ground. We actually just cut that off and I just kind of slid it into the harness and re taped it up and then connected it to the black wire. That's the ground circuit on the vehicle. We've got our brown circuit which is our taillight circuit that just goes brown to brown green which is right turn that just goes green to green. You've got blue, which is your brake controller output that's just blue to blue. And we've got our yellow circuit which is our left turn, that's just yellow to yellow. And last we have our reverse light circuit which is gonna be purple on the new harness to gray on the vehicle. Once we've got all those connections made we're gonna grab our heat gun now and shrink 'em all down. With everything wired over here we can now install our connector. Now there's typically gonna be a just a plastic cover there. Our customer had already removed it. To remove it there are a couple of little prongs just like this on the inside. So you can just give those a squeeze and push that thing out. So now we'll take our new one. You'll want the connector towards the top. That'll just press into place. You'll hear it click in. Before we plug our connector into the back side of it, we're gonna put some dielectric grease on it. That'll just help keep moisture from getting in there and causing corrosion. Just give a nice little thorough coat there. Line up your connector and plug it in. And now at this point we can plug in our tester and make sure everything's working. So we plugged in our tester back there. We just gonna run through all of our lights. I did turn the ignition towards the on position and you can see the clearance lights are already lit up. We'll check our turn signals. There's our left turn, our right turn also hit our brakes. We can see those light up. In the top right corner you'll see that the voltage gauge is showing battery voltage as well. So we can see our auxiliary circuits working. I'm gonna have to start the vehicle to put it in reverse to get the reverse lights to work. And now you should see the reverse lights working there. And lastly, you would check your brake controller output but our customer doesn't have a brake controller installed so we won't have a way to test this. But this one should also be working. The rest of yours are working and the likelihood of that working is also gonna be good. And that completes our installation of Hopkins custom fit vehicle wiring harness on our 2022 Chevrolet Colorado..

I had read that the wires were a little short, but once I got everything connected up they were just fine. It was really easy to install and it looks like the factory installed ones. I did un-tape the harness and cut the ground wire to the length of the other wires then I tucked it in the insulation and taped it all up again before I connected it to the trucks wiring harness.
by: Costi03/08/2024
The wiring harness and plug worked really well for install on my 2018 Colorado WT. I did upgrade the butt-connectors for the install, but the instructions were straightforward and went smoothly overall, with everything needed being included.

Fit perfect in my 2023 Colorado. The factory original "blank" came right out and all I had to do was plug in my new connector and slide it right back into the factory opening in the bumper. Only tools I needed were my two hands. I have made a few purchases from etrailer and have always been very satisfied.
by: James 02/29/2024
The wiring harness was great. It was easy to connect, and the instructions were straight forward, and easy to understand.

All was scheduled for tuesday and we got everything saturday. I give you 10 stars not 5. George was awesome keeping us up to date. Will recommend etrailer to everyone

Exactly like the original. Truck came with a empty plug. Easy to wire up and install. You can see it to the left of license plate. Just like factory made.
by: Brad 10/08/2023
Works as expected. Used Harbor Freight heat shrink electrical connectors for better install. I think that for the money this kit costs
that it should come with the heat shrink connectors. 2020 Colorado

I would like to thank the folks at Etrailer for all your help and a great product.
The video on the website made my installation a breeze.
I will use the video on installing the trailer light hook up as well.

Wired a 7/4 way to 2017 Colorado...
quick AND easy!!! The colored wiring diagram was accurate.....
The only problem I had was eventually figuring out the Pollak 12-741EV tester you sold me had to be plugged in with the test light indicators facing downwards. A hand held mirror placed under the plugged in 7 way tester did the trick,
and BTW the 7/4 connector only installs one way:
7 pole round on top and 4 pole flat on the bottom.

Looks like it was factory installed. My truck had a wire for the ground so I tucked the white wire inside the flex tubing with the other wires and cut it to the same length as the others. It ended up being a neat looking installation.

- 7-Way/4-Way Kit for 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Similar to Factory Wiring SetupI looked up the factory hitch and wiring kit for your 2019 Jeep Cherokee and the style of connector is the # HM11141144 which you could install on your vehicle but you'd want to use the 4-way kit part # C56406 as an easy way to get the trailer taillight functions first. This is custom fit for your vehicle and you could cut off the 4-way so that you could wire the harness to the 7-way and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2022 Chevy ColoradoI recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 for your 2022 Chevy Colorado because it has a matte black finish that blends in better with your truck and will do a better job at hiding any scratches that might happen from flying road debris. If you are planning on doing some towing then you also need wiring and a ball mount to round out your towing setup. For wiring I recommend the Hopkins # HM11141144 which splices into the existing wiring and seats in the bumper,...

- Can T-Connector and Hopkins Wiring Be Installed In Bumper of 2022 Toyota TacomaYou can definitely use the Curt T-Connector Wiring Kit # C56349 along with the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 on your 2022 Toyota Tacoma just like what we did with the 2020 model year (which I've linked to this answer page). Hopkins only lists their wiring for certain GM pickups since it's basically an OEM replacement but it will work for other applications as well, especially if you have that same type of cutout in the bumper of your Tacoma.

If you have the factory 7-way you don't need any other parts, but if you do not then you will need to add a 7-way with the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Chevrolet/GMC # HM11141144. The Tow-Pro Elite is one of the best brake controllers available and our customers love it because of its control knob which keeps a cumbersome unit out...

They are 14 gauge for the other function colors. The kit comes with the butt connectors and dielectric grease for installation.

- Color Code for Wires on Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade Trailer Connector # HM11141144The white wire on the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Connector # HM11141144 that you referenced is for ground. This wire simply needs to be attached to a clean, bare metal surface on the vehicle's frame. The white ground wire from the trailer side connector will also be attached a clean bare metal surface on the trailer frame. The remaining wire functions on the Hopkins 7-Way are as follows: Brown - Running Lights Yellow - Left Turn/Brake Light Green - Right Turn/Brake...

- Parts Needed to Tow a 5.5K Trailer with a 2018 Chevy ColoradoI took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2018 Chevy Colorado and it looks like as long as you have the 3.6L V6 (not the ZR2) then you definitely can safely tow up to a 7K trailer. With that being said, there are a few things to note; like how much weight you have in the pickup, if the 5,500 lbs for the trailer is GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) or if that's the dry weight, and that you'll need both a brake controller and a weight distribution system. I'm assuming you already...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2019 GMC CanyonFor your 2019 GMC Canyon I recommend the etrailer class 3 hitch # e98909. This is a 2" receiver rated for towing 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs of tongue weight. A 1969 Shasta Starflyte should be around 2,500 lbs so this will be plenty strong for this purpose. You can also use the Hopkins 7-way harness # HM11141144 for your trailer wiring. It will be a pretty simple no-drill install. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look.
view full answer... - 4- and 7-Way Trailer Connector Socket Only for a 2012 Ford F-150Trailer connector # HM11141144 is specific to certain GM applications so it would not be the same as the standard 4- and 7-Way. So you could use # HM40975 though it comes with a bracket. It does not come with a wiring harness.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Trailer Connector and Towing Accessories Suggested for 2020 Chevy ColoradoA hitch is indeed available! I'd recommend the US made Curt Class III hitch, part # C13176. The hitch has a 8000 lbs towing/800 lbs tongue weight capacity, so it'll be able to handle any towing job you throw at it (as long as you don't exceed the towing capacity of the truck itself). If your truck doesn't already have a trailer connector, I'd recommend # HM11141144 which provides both a 7-way and a 4-pole connector. You'll also need a ball mount like # 2923 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Chevy Colorado For your 2022 Chevy Colorado I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98909. It has the same capacities as the other option, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176, but it has two key differences. The first being the cost, the etrailer # e98909 is going to give you the same reliable and trusted quality but at a more economical price point. The Second difference being the paint job, the etrailer # e98909 is protected with a...

Consult your local dealership for your exact towing capabilities of your Colorado and do not exceed the maximum rating of either the vehicle or receiver, whichever is lower.

- Replacement 7-Way Connector and Wiring Harness for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500Yes, you can use the # HM11141144 to replace the wiring harness and connector on your 2017 Silverado 1500. You will have to cut off the old connector and splice in the new one to make this work.

Do note this will replace a factory crossmember that is used since your Canyon did not come with the factory tow package. Next the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 will wire to the factory terminated wires under your bed. If you are going to be towing larger trailers with electric actuated brakes you will also want to install a Trailer Brake Controller...

- Will the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Connector Work With 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500The Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 is designed to fit the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. The part you would want to use for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is the 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring # HM40975-11998. This uses the Hopkins 40975 with the Chevy Silverado 2500 end instead of the Hopkins 41144. I have attached an installation on a 2020 Silverado 3500 for your reference.
view full answer... - Curt C51170 Spectrum Brake Controller Installation on 2020 GMC Canyon The Curt # C51170 (or any brake controller, for that matter) isn't a vehicle-specific item. It'll work on just about any vehicle that has a standard hydraulic braking system. How you'd install the # C51170 Spectrum brake controller will depend on whether or not you have the factory 7-way trailer connector installed on the bumper. If you don't have the 7-way, you'll need part # HM11141144 which installs as shown in the linked video. The controller installs by wiring directly to the tow...
view full answer... - Why Does Crossmember On 2021 Chevrolet Colorado Need To Be Removed To Install Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe reason the crossmember on your 2021 Chevrolet Colorado needs to be removed is it takes up the exact same space as the trailer hitch receiver, in this case the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 you purchased, and uses the same mounting holes. There would not be a way to use both at the same time. The crossmember is only installed on vehicles without a factory trailer hitch receiver, and with the trailer hitch receiver installed you will have the exact same strength and support...

We do have the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11141164 which will allow you to plug into the tail lights on your 2019 Chevrolet Colorado. Do understand this will require you to run a dedicated power wire to the battery under the hood and only gives you a 4-way flat connector. Most people tend to go with the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 since they are simply splicing into wiring that is already terminated on the factory...
view full answer... - Where Are the Brake Controller Wires On a 2019 GMC CanyonThe brake controller wires for a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 on your 2019 GMC Canyon should be located under the driver side kick panel next to the emergency brake pedal. These wires will be taped to one another and most likely tucked under another bundle of wires. If you take a look at the install video on a similar 2017 Chevy Colorado you will be able to see the wires revealed at around the 3:45 mark. Please note if you don't already...
view full answer... - What is the Difference in the Curt and etrailer Hitches for a 2022 Chevy Colorado?The only difference in the Curt item # C13176 and the etrailer item # e98909 is the finish and the cost. Both hitches are manufactured by Curt to the same standards and specifications. I prefer the etrailer hitch item # e98909 because of its flat matte finish. It tends to blend in better beneath a vehicle's trim then the glossy finish of the Curt item # C13176. Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit the 2022 Chevy Colorado. I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation and Installation 2019 Chevy ColoradoA brake controller isn't a vehicle specific item, just about any controller will work on just about any vehicle. There are two types of controllers, a time-delayed and a proportional. A time delayed controller will send the same amount of pre-set voltage to the trailer brakes according to how it's been set. Whether the braking event is a quick tap on the pedal or a panic stop, the controller will send the same amount of voltage to the brakes. A proportional controller will determine...

The # HM11141144 from your question follows the traditional SAE (See the diagram below) with red for the 12V power instead of black. The purple in this case would be the reverse lights. On the RV standard it would be yellow instead of purple. The only way for you to be sure which wires are which is to trace them back to see where they go. With both a red and black wire, more than likely the black is 12V power and the red is the left turn/stop....

Still working as it should. Whats not to like about that? Easy to install on my 2019 Colorado WT that didnt come with hitch or trailer wiring. Im 72 yrs. old, so if I can install it. Anyone can!
