This is the product I expected and it arrived in factory new condition.
To no fault of etrailer.com the currier wagon train and the ox’en that pulled the load were heading East. This was not the direction they were accustomed to so it took a few extra days. All in all good job I will do more business with this company.

I wish than all trailer wiring was color coded the same. I have wired a lot of trucks ant trailers and trouble shot problems and always solved the problems. this one gave some serious thinking since the wiring was color coded different. But it is working and I do like the Pollak plug.

Installation was easy, good instructions. used this in conjunction with a Prodigy brake controller on a 1973 Chevy K20 square body pickup, replacing my original. wired using crimp on connectors, fast easy, clean. Re taped all connectors and loom. Used silicone on the back of the to seal off moisture.

After I received this item, it just sat on the shelf until I could find the time to install. I just review this and I find the 7-pin plug is missing. The mounting flange and wiring harness is there, but not the 7-pin plug.

Well you need the 7-pin plug! Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to get you this missing part.



by:

This was a perfect replacement for an old worn out 7-pole connector on my motorhome. This unit has a heavy guage wiring harness with standard color coding for each wire. The socket has a sturdy spring loaded cover that should keep out water a dirt. The instruction sheet includes a wiring diagram. I like that the connector socket can be easily removed from the wiring harness if it ever needs replacement.

Chevrolet Silverado

Although parts have only been installed less than a week this was a direct replacement for my Chevy Silverado 1500hd harness and outlet. I relocated from the side of the receiver to the bumper. Everything is provided in the kit. I used different hardware due to installing through bumper and different butt connections with heat shrink tubing because this was one of my reasons for replacing, the other being corrosion in harness to socket.

The Curt hitch was delivered on time and in good condition.I had prepped the threaded holes in the frame earlier,which made install easy.Took all of 15 minutes ! This is my second time using Curt hitches,the last one on our 2013 Honda CRV.Great installation video and instructions. Would purchase again . Thanks!!!!

terrific,thanks

Appears to be high quality connector! I like the fact that it comes apart so you can mock it up on your truck's bumper, frame, etc. and the connector is well made and even has a seal inside making it watertight. Glad i bought it! Istall appears to be very easy and the length is long enough to where you can have options during install.

I ORDERED A WIRING PLUG FOR MY 1989 CHEVY CAR HAULER AND IT WAS PROMPTLY FILLED AND SENT WITHIN DAYS TO MY HOME.

IT IS EXACTLY WHAT I ORDERED AND WAS THE SECOND ONE I ORDERED FROM ETRAILER.COM

THE OTHER WAS FOR MY DODGE PICK UP A COUPLE MONTHS PAST.

MAIL SERVICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY PROMPT TO ME SINCE MY FIRST ORDER MANY MONTHS AGO.

WOULD RECOMMEND ETRAILER.COM TO ALL FOR PROMPT SERVICE AND QUALITY ITEMS!!

GOOD MORNING!! IT WAS THE SECOND UNIT I BOUGHT FROM YOUR COMPANY, AND BOTH ARE WORKING FINE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS IN PAST, I WILL ALWAYS LOOK AT YOUR COMPANYS LIST OF PRODUCTS BEFORE I WOULD EVER GO TO ANYONE ELSE. THANK-YOU



by:
2007 Ford F-150

his is the product if you do not have the trailer package on your vehicle. The 07 F150 I bought does not have the trailer towing package so I could not buy the plug and play version of this. The wire length is good so that you can easily locate the socket and still reach the vehicle's wiring harness. The instructions were good but I had trouble finding the correct lead for +battery to hook up to. Great price and delivery from etrailer as always.



by:

This has worked great on my vehicle. I put a 30-Lb magnet on bracket and that gives me the flexibility to mover the connector when in use.

Still working great. I like that it is hidden behind my bumper fascia until needed.



by:

I purchased this as a replacement for an identical wire harness already installed on my vehicle. Old harness was occassionally losing taillight/running lamps. Note that the new harness is the same make and model as old harness yet 2 wires are of different color (i.e. old + wire was red, new + wire is black)...so trace your wires carefully if performing a replacement.

Harness was received in just a few days and included all needed components for installation. I soldered and used heat shrink tubing on connections. The inclusion of waterproof butt connectors would be a good addition to this package instead of the included standard butt connectors.

I want to thank Molly for all the help for pk11898 I have not yet installed this harness planning to do so to day weather here in McKeesport has not been that good. Again thank you Molly for all your help you are a asset to the company.

Great product. Very Well made and more than enough wiring to complete the job.
2000 GMC pickup and the wiring had been cobbled up back to the trailer receptacle.
Only took about 30 minutes to complete the job. The instructions regarding matching up the wiring from the truck to the new wiring harness were concise and easy to follow.

Product was just what I was looking for.
I would like to say something more about the etrailer.com customer service if I may.
I received a call from Molly with etrailer letting me know there was a slight shipping delay of one of my items in my order so if I did need it right away I could make necessary changes. I would like to personally thank Molly and the team at etrailer for going that extra mile!



by:

A very good harness and it is working fine a year after I installed it, however, the mounting screws are rusting so the reason it did not get a five-star review is because in my opinion the mounting screws should’ve been stainless steel

  • Hitch and Brake Controller for 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 Pickup
    The 2000 model year was a split year for GMC pickups so checking hitch fits can be tricky. Curt Class V hitch # C15400 fits only the cab-and-chassis versions from 2001 forward; it does not fit your 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 pickup. If your 2000 Sierra pickup has a 10-inch deep-drop bumper you can use Curt Class V hitch # C15317. If it has a standard or step bumper you can use Class V hitch # C15325. If your Sierra has a factory 7-way you can install a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy...

  • Recommended Trailer Connector To Use Curt Echo On a 2012 Chevy Silverado
    In order to install a 7-way on a 2012 Chevy Silverado you can use the Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector for Chevy and GMC Vehicles part # PK11916 if you have a US CAR Connector (see photo) or the Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness part # PK11898 if not. These will both then allow you to use the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180.

  • How Do I Separate the Trailer Connector Socket from the Mounting Bracket After Performing a Test Fit
    In order to separate the Pollak Trailer Connector Socket and Mounting Bracket, # PK11898, you will need to slide the grey clip toward the wiring. This clip can also be removed if needed. Then you will need to press down on the black clip, which was in the center of the grey clip, while pulling on the mounting bracket. I am attaching a quick video to demonstrate.

Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 that you referenced is just a matter of connecting the controller wiring to this wiring under the dash of your truck.

  • 6-Way to 7-Way Adapter Recommendation for 1999 Chevy Suburban
    A 6-way trailer wiring connector would normally carry the brake output circuit as long as a brake controller is installed in the vehicle.

  • Left Hand Turn Signal and Brake Lights Work on Vehicle but Not on Trailer
    Since your truck tail lights are working properly but you're not receiving voltage on the harness, we can isolate the issue to the 7 way wiring on your truck-specifically the left side. First thing to do is to check your vehicle's 7 way connector and make sure that there is no corrosion or dirt. If you're seeing any dirt or rust, make sure to clean it off and see if that addresses the problem. Next, check the fuse box and make sure that you don't have a blown fuse on the LH trailer wire...

If your Sierra has the factory trailer connector you will not need to do anything else; if it does not, you'll need to complete your wiring with a 7-way connector by using # PK11898.

All brake controllers have a small power draw to keep your settings when the ignition is off on all vehicles, but they should never drain the battery if installed correctly.
