Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system.
Features:
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area on the driver's side and passenger's side. You will have to remove the cargo door and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, run the red hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in your trunk.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.

This is going to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer's. The power module connects directly to the vehicle battery through the wiring to avoid overload in the vehicle's electrical system. The unit is designed to connect quickly and easily, no cutting, no splicing of wires as needed. All you got to do is locate the connection points in the rear cargo area and plug in your connectors.
This is custom fit for your vehicle so these plugs are going to match perfectly with the ports on the vehicle and they're going to snap lock together for a nice tight secure fits. Once you have those connected, you'll need to make the ground connection. It's going to be the white wire with a ring terminal attached to it. When you get that grounded in a nice clean metal surface with the included grounding screw and then you'll need to mount the converter box to an out-of-the-way location and you can do that using the provided cable ties. Once you have that done you'll need to run the hot lead to the vehicle battery. The hot lead is going to be the red wire coming of the box with the butt connector attached to it. That's going to get connected the one end the bundle of wiring, the other end of the bundle runs to the vehicle's battery get's connected the one-half of the fuse holder, here on the butt connector side.
The other half of the fuse holder has a ring terminal attached to it and that gets connected the positive post of the vehicle's battery. The kit also comes with your 28 00:02:00 fuse. Goes directly in the holder and then you get the fuse cap to keep that safe and protected. Once you have that done you can go and secure any access or slack in the wiring with the included cable ties. Once your installation is complete the 4-way connector is going to be stowed in the trunk of the vehicle. It is recommended to use a small amount of the included grease on all your electrical connections like the plugs on the vehicle, on the 4-pole connector itself.
That's designed to help prevent corrosion to the connections points. That's going to do it for today's look at the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-pole flat trailer connector.
