I rewired my light bar for my boat trailer with the items I purchased. Before I built the the light bar, every time I used my boat trailer I would waste valuable sailing or fishing time repairing faulty lights. The do not last long when you submerge them in salt water. This light bar now version 3.0 have given little trouble over the years



by:

Great product.
Works well when I had
a broken connection on my 4 way plug end on my light-up hitch cover I bought from y'all a while back.
Always a happy customer.
Thanks, George.



by:

Plug came in today, light did not. I ordered from here because it said both would be here Friday. Called company. Was told I could return light but would have to pay fee, because promised arrival date was a guesstimate.



by:

This is a nicely designed product. My only disappointment was that the wires could have been longer, perhaps 12 or 18 inches longer so it extends to the trailer harness better and is more visually appealing.



by:

This product will be an additional backup item. I used the other Easy Pull connector, but on my truck end the flapper door is spring loaded and puts too much downward pressure on trailer connector. Maybe that's why original trailer connector had a broken pin.

Thank you, and everything still working great. I still browse your site checking out items.



by:

item came as expected and is exactly what i needed -a trailer connector that will resist fraying at the point where the wires meet the connector ,nice and strong at that point, will last years instead of months.

its still the best ever ...will replace old wiring that has frayed or prevent such from occurring



by:

I actually got the idea from a trailer I rented once. You permanently mount this somewhere behind the coupler where it won’t get damaged and use an extension. It’s a lot faster and easier to replace a damaged extension wire than to solder a new plug onto your trailer wiring if(when) it gets damaged. I used mine on a 4x8’ utility trailer that I pull with my truck on the road and with a utility tractor off road, you don’t have to worry about the wiring for the lights hanging down dragging the ground getting damaged, you just remove the extension and put the weather cover on it when you’re off highway and don’t need the lights.



by:

Shawn B. (& everyone I talked with at E Trailer) was wonderful.
Great phone support. Great products. We did a great job installing the wiring harness.
Made me wonder why we originally took it to a "professional" trailer sales & service place in Ogden UT. They hacked into our wiring & created problems.
I will continue to be a grateful customer.
Finding good people who know their stuff in todays world is a soul healing event.
Thank you E Trailer!

Work on the advertised



by:

Great connector. Easy to use, environmental cap will be great to prevent pins corroding. Make sure you buy splices because product does not come with them. All in all, a great and easy product to use and install.

Adding dielectric grease to the connectors can be a big help at prevent corrosion on those contacts.



by:

With the help of an internet video, I joined this and a seven-pin female to create an adapter to connect my newly-purchased car to my travel trailer. It allowed me to get the trailer home pending a more permanent wiring change for the car. I was very pleased.



by:

Comes with documentation about wiring and a grease packet to put on the contacts to prevent corrosion. Wires are black with a colored stripe for identification per the documentation in the package.

Good sealed connector. Having the functions marked on each wire is great...no worry about color coding differences between different vintagesmodels of trailers or vehicles.



by:

quality item, much better than the plug that came on my trailers wiring harness, hence the need to replace it. Soldered the new to the harness and covered with heat shrink. Fast service and better quality than offered at the big box stores. well worth paying the shipping charges.



by:

This was the perfect replacement for the old connector on my boat trailer with 18-guage wiring and 16-guage ground. Replacement was very easy. I just cut off the old connector and splice this one in its place using heat shrink butt end connectors. Fits very snuggly into my vehicle side connector, unlike the old connector I replaced.



by:

Sturdy plug, I like that it has a cover. Doesn't come with connectors like some of the others do, so be sure to order those, too. I used 3M snap, butt connectors would've been less bulky for the location. Shipped quickly, as always. Love Etrailer!



by:

Purchased this wire harness and the plastic cover has stayed intact protecting wires from weather. After 1 year it's still workin great.



by: 04/13/2023

It is as described, nothing fancy but gets the job done



by:

This is the one to buy. We hook-up and unhook our trailers on a daily basis. The wiring takes a beating. This product is fantastic. It has been reinforced around the housing and the base of the wires. The rubber on the side are excellent. They will have to keep our drivers from tearing the wires from the housing.



by:

So far the product has worked great. with that said it has only been on the trailer for a week so only time will tell :) it looks and feels to be built with great strength. I don't foresee any issue with it but as I said only time will tell. Transaction process was smooth and shipment from retailer was fast! Look forward to doing all future trailer business with etrailer.com again.



by:

A common problem with flat connectors is the ability to get a grip on them as you try to engage or disengage them. The ears on this one allow for a much better grip.



by:

High quality product available at half the price or more than other merchandise providers. eTrailer's ordering process, shipping, timely delivery , and customer services were on target.



by:

I bought this for my utility trailer, the weather proof cover for the plug is a nice touch and should help keep the pins from rusting.



by:

Received the 4 wire flat pigtail after a couple days and wired it to the other component and it all worked great. Would definitely recommend this to others. I had to replace an old damaged part with this exact match.



by:

In stalled this connector on my tow dolly. Easy to install and is working as it should



by:

Good product. Clearly marked wire pigtail (in multiple languages), perfect fit to OEM 4-pin harness and a nice braided sleeve.

  • Recommended Converter To Convert Combined Wiring On Vehicle For Trailer With Separate Wiring
    We do have a converter that will let you convert the combined brake and turn signals from your Honda without splicing into the vehicle wiring. The wiring would be done on your trailer. I recommend part # 118158. You would cut the harness on your trailer and wire it to the 118158 converter as shown in the attached photo. Since it is not waterproof, you will need to use a junction box on the trailer like part # 38656. You would need to use a 4-way trailer-side connector like part # HM48110...

  • How Can I Use my 6-way Round Trailer Connector with my 4-way Connector on my Vehicle
    In your situation I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48110. This will replace the 6 round connector on your trailer and allow you to plug it directly into your vehicle. There are no 4-way flat to 6-way round adapters that I know of available.

  • Correct Vehicle and Trailer Side Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector
    The Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48110 is a trailer side connector which is designed to be installed on the towable. If you're instead looking for the vehicle side which is designed to be installed on the tow vehicle then you will need the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48030. These harnesses both require splicing whether you are just replacing a trailer connector or wiring one for the first time.

  • How to Make Coiled 6-Way to 4-Way Adapter
    I personally don't like using adapters if I don't have to so what I would do is use the part # RM-1064-B for the coiled section, the part # HM48440 for the 6-way section and then for the 4-way use the # HM48030 wired up correctly and you'd have a coiled 6-way to 4-way adapter without using any adapters that would work very well.

  • Vehicle 4-way Flat Connector to Trailer 7-way Connector Adapter
    The adapter we offer for a vehicle with a 4-way flat to tow a trailer with a 7-way blade is a connector like # 30717. Using a connector like this will not provide use of the trailer brakes, 12V power source, or reverse lights. The 4-way connector only provides tail lights, brake lights, and left and right turn signals. The only way to gain use of these functions is to fully install the 7-way. With the # 30717 connector, the white wire will need to be grounded to provide function to the...

    If you want to relocate your license plate while using the spare tire carrier the only option would be to make one. You could mount the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB on the carrier. Then for power, you can use a trailer end connector like the # HM48110 to power the light on the license plate bracket. If you don't already have a 4-way you would also need the # 118467.

    A clearance light like # MCL17RB will not provide you the separate running, brake, and turn functions. It will stay on all the time your running lights are on. Another option instead is to use a strip light like # STL59RB. It will provide all of the functions however if you just install one it will flash regardless of which turn signal you're using. You can install two, one on each side of the cargo carrier if you'd like. You'll also need to install a 4-way connector on the carrier...

    First, if your 2007 Dodge Ram cab and chassis model came with a factory installed 4/7-Way then you can use # HM40975-11933 to replace it. It plugs into the factory wiring harness under the truck. What I would do is to wire the camper light wires to either a trailer side 4-Way or 7-Way connector, depending on what all functions are needed, and plug that into the trucks trailer connector instead of hardwiring it in. For a 4-Way you can use # HM48110. White is ground, brow is running lights,...

    I do have an option for you but I don't have much information on what type of trailer connectors these trailers used from the factory.

That said, in either case, it would need to be replaced for a standard style which can attach to modern vehicles.

    We actually have a pre-made 4-Way to 6-Way round adapter that you could use if you wanted to, # A10-6034VP. For this you would plug in the 4-Way on the vehicle to the 4-Way on the adapter, ground the white wire to the frame of the vehicle, and tape up the other 2 wires on the adapter if those functions are not needed (if you just needed lighting functions). To make your own you would need a 4-Way trailer end connector, like # HM48110, and wire the blunt cut bare wire ends to the 6-Way...

  • Hopkins 4-Way Recommendation to Re-Wire a Trailer with a Vehicle 6-Way Installed
    Since you said your trailer was a homemade trailer I wonder if someone mistakenly installed a vehicle side 6-way on the trailer and that is why you have a female 6-way there. The best recommendation I can give you would be to cut off the 6-way on your trailer and wire up a trailer 4-way like part # HM48110. I attached an FAQ on trailer wiring for you to check out. The easiest way to determine the functions of the wires of the trailer wiring would be to use a jumper wire and a car battery...

When you do this, you will have the black auxiliary wire and the blue brake wire remaining. You will no longer be able to use those functions, so those wires can just be taped up and stowed out of the way.

    So it sounds like your trailer has separate circuit tail light harness meaning the brake lights are separate from your turn signals and your motorhome has a combined circuit 4-way. I believe the easiest way to accomplish towing this setup would be to wire up a tail light converter like the Curt adapter # C56196 to separate your tow vehicles tail light signal. The method I will recommend for this will basically give you an adapter to allow your trailer to be towed by motorhome, but then...

  • Installing a 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector on a 1971 Holsclaw C1700 Boat Trailer
    The best thing to do is to remove the 4-Way square on the trailer and replace it with a 4-Way flat to match the connector on your Ford Explorer. A 4-Way flat and 4-Way square are not wired the same and chances are the colors will not match up either. You will need to trace the wires back to determine the function of each and wire in a new 4-Way flat according to the description below.

    Since this is on a boat trailer the 2 additional white ground wires are ground for the lights.
