Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Hopkins plug in, simply vehicle wiring harness with the 4-way flat trailer connector. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2014-2017 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback. And on a custom fit part, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show you if it'll fit for your application.Now this part will provide this 4-way flat trailer connector to back your vehicle, to power your trailer signal lights. It is compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole, 7-pole adapters that we do sell separately on our website.

Does connect very quickly and easily. Basically, just locate your connection points, which are in the rear cargo area. Plug in these connectors, one on the driver side, one on the passenger side. Ground your white wire, then run your power wire to your vehicle's battery.Does include this taillight converter box here to ensure that your vehicle wiring will match that of your trailer. It is a power module box, so it connects directly to the battery, to avoid overloading your vehicle's electrical system.

They do use protective connection terminals to resist corrosion. Does come with this nice dust cap for your 4-way flat connector. So, basically when you're not plugged into a trailer, you can just put this dust cap onto your 4-way, and that'll protect the terminals from any damage, or from the elements.Comes with some cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring. Even contains this nice terminal grease packet to put on all your electrical connections when you make them. A few specs on this harness.

The maximum amperage for the stop and turn light circuit, is three amps per circuit. For the taillights, it's six amps per circuit. Does come with a nice set of instructions on how to install all this. But just quickly how you would install this again, is you go to the rear of the vehicle, in the rear cargo area, behind the taillights.You want to start on the driver side, you'll take this connector right here, and plug your harness, plug this into the harness, and behind the taillight. And the driver side will be the yellow wire, so the one with the yellow wire would go for your driver side.

The length of green wire is for your passenger side. So same way, you'll run this wire over to the passenger side, plug this in again, behind the taillight. Those connectors are ready to go.Your module box here, you do want to attach that to a flat surface so it doesn't bounce around. They do give you some extra cable ties for that. Your white wire with the eyelet on it, you need to connect that to a good, clean ground if there's one nearby. If not, they do include a grounding screw. And then your last wire, you run this wire, of course, the 4-way out the back towards your trailer.And your last wire would be this red power wire. This needs to go to your vehicle's battery, at the front of the vehicle. So they give you this extra length of wire to do that. Connect that end in the butt connector there. Run this to the front, and you don't want to run this directly to the battery. You want to run it through this inline fuse holder. So once you get up to the front, connect it to this side of the fuse holder, and this eyelet is what'll connect to your vehicle's battery.Once it's all connected, pop open the fuse holder, take the included 15 amp fuse, install it in your fuse holder. Put the cap back on it, and your system's all ready to go. And again, they do give you some extra cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring. But that should do it for the review on the Hopkins plugin, simple vehicle wiring harness, with the 4-way flat trailer connector.
