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.

The wiring harness was great. It was easy to connect, and the instructions were straight forward, and easy to understand.

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.

Works great after one year of use. Easy installation if you remember to tie down your rear bumper so it doesn’t fall on your head while working.
by: Duey in TR08/04/2020
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.

- 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.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver With The Most Ground Clearance for a 2021 Chevrolet ColoradoOf the hitches that we have fit in our shop on a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76004 sat the highest. When we measured to the inside of the receiver tube the measurement was 18-1/2" from the ground. This will end up being around 16" for the ground clearance at the receiver tube collar. Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 measured in at 18" from the inside of the receiver hitch to the ground....
view full answer... - Does Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Fit 2019 Chevy ColoradoYes, the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR will absolutely fit and work in a 2019 Chevy Colorado. 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...
view full answer... - Redarc Liberty Brake Controller Wiring and 7-Way Wiring For a 2016 GMC CanyonYou will need the Universal Wiring Harness # RED69FR to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR into your 2016 GMC Canyon. This will allow you to splice into the wiring that is on your Canyon as there is not a plug and play style connector and the wires are just terminated under the lower side panel fascia on your Canyon. I have included a video of an installation of a different brake controller on 2017 Chevrolet Colorado but the wiring will be similar. Once you...
view full answer... - 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. Hope...
view full answer... - Are Replacement Installation Clips Available For Hopkins 7-way/4-way Combo HM11141144?I have a replacement connector option, but the clips of the Hopkins # HM11141144 you were looking at are not available as a replacement part. Instead you'll need the # HM40975 which has the connector you need with new clips, and is a little cheaper since you don't need another harness.
view full answer... - Wiring a 7- and 4-Way Trailer Connector to a 1998 Chevy TruckThe necessary wires to install a multi-tow connector such as # HM11141144 can likely be found above the spare tire on your 1998 Chevy truck. If it is anything like the 1999 models the yellow wire is the left turn and brakes, dark green wire is the right turn and brakes, brown wire is for the taillights, and white is the ground. Often if the loom is cut back, two more wires will be found. The light blue wire provides a lead for a camper shell brake light so you would not need it. The other,...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Right Trailer Light Blinker Not FunctioningFirst thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue. Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean...
view full answer... - Is The 7/4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket Available Without the Mounting Bracket For a 2023 Colorado?If you are only needing the 7- and 4-Pole trailer connector socket the Item # HM40975 is the only way we carry it. You will just not use the included mounting bracket. We do have the Kit # HM11141144 if you are adding this connector and also need the wiring for your 2023 Chevrolet Colorado if it did not come with the factory tow package.
view full answer... - Adding a 4-Way/7-Way Connector To a 2019 Toyota Tacoma To Fit Factory Bumper CutoutYes, the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 can be installed on your 2019 Toyota Tacoma. As in the video which I have linked below he splices the new connector in place of a 4-way like the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56349. If you do not have any trailer wiring I recommend installing the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22117 and replacing the end with the Connector # HM40975. This will give you the same end connector along with the...
view full answer... - Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for a 2022 GMC Canyon Yes, we do have a hitch receiver that will fit your 2022 GMC Canyon. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13203. This is a custom fit hitch receiver that bolts directly to your frame with included hardware. It requires no welding or drilling. The only thing you will have to do is remove the cross member that came in place of a factory hitch. If you are in need of a wiring harness I recommend the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Chevrolet/GMC item...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2019 GMC Canyon Step BumperFor your 2019 GMC Canyon, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98909 will be a great choice. The mounting location won't interfere with your bumper steps and the capacities of hitches are often stronger than the trucks they are mounted on simply because they are independently tested. You will be restricted to the capacity of your truck which will tow the boat you referenced without issue. I attached a video of the 2020 Colorado which...
view full answer... - Will the Curt Spectrum C51170 Fit a 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71?The Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 will definitely fit your 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71. There is not a plug under the dash, but the wires are run, making the install pretty easy. The # C51515 will attach directly to these wires and will then plug directly into the back of the # C51170. If you do not have 7 Way on the back of the vehicle, I suggest the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144. I included install videos of both of these being...
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 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,...

- Correct Hopkins Wiring Kit for a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado Without Tow PackageYes, the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 is the correct wiring kit to get both a 4-Way and a 7-Way on your 2019 Chevrolet Colorado for trailer towing. Attached is an installation video on a 2019 Colorado as well as a photo showing what the end result will look like.

- Adding 4-Way to 2013 Chevy Silverado that Already has 7-Way Connector and Using Both at Same TimeFor your 2013 Chevy Silverado with 7-Way trailer connector I recommend adding 4-Way # 118384 which will Tee in line with the 7-Way wiring allowing you to have both a function 4-Way and 7-Way connector. Please keep in mind that you can use both at the same time but they are drawing power from the same source. If the amount of power draw is too much it could blow tow package fuses. We used to have an adapter that plugged into a 7-Way and had a 7-Way and 4-Way on the output side but it...

This will ensure you have the correct wiring and length needed to install in your truck bedside. The # HM11141144 is for a Chevrolet Colorado.

Since your 1992 Chevrolet C/K Pickup only came with a 4-way connector but you are needing a 7-way blade connector for your new camper you will need to install the # ETBC7. This kit will plug into your existing 4-way connector and only require a few more connections. You will need to ground the white wire to the frame of your truck, extend the black wire to the positive terminal of your battery with the included 40 amp circuit breaker, and extend the blue wire underneath...

The Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 will provide you with both a 4-way flat and 7-way blade connection. These are the most common connectors used on most trailers you will tow. Since you are looking to tow 5,000lbs your trailer will likely...

So to install the P3 you'd need the part # 90195 that you referenced as well as the 7-way kit part # HM11141144 and you'd be set. To see how this controller installs check out the install video link I attached to this page as well. I also attached an install video for the 7-way kit on a Colorado like yours as well.

You can absolutely still use the step on the bumper of your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado once the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 is installed. The hitch does remove the spare tire support brace that goes directly under the step, but between the bumper mounting hardware and the trailer hitch receiver sitting directly underneath the step that gives you the support the step needs. If you are planning on towing with your Colorado you will also need a vehicle...

It also offers a 800 lb tongue weight rating and a 8000 lb. gross trailer weight rating.
