I recently had a need for the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Vehicle End - HM48190 to replace the faulty one on my van. It was easy to find what I needed on the site and the price was comparable to other sites I had visited. I decided to go with etrailer because I had previously ordered the hitch through them. I appreciated the fact that an email was sent out confirming that they received the order as well as a follow-up email telling me that the part was shipped along with providing the tracking number. The installation of the part was easy and took no time to complete. Overall it was a fine experience and if I need to order anything in the future, I will be sure to come back and order from etrailer.

Great product. Easy to install
by: MrKent10/10/2019
These male and female 4 wire pigtails are advertised as "quick fix" connectors. I use these connectors so that I can make my own pigtails. Sure, you can buy a pre-wired pigtail and add on to it by splicing the wire with butt connectors, however by using the quick fix connectors, you eliminate the need for the butt connectors and an additional possibility of a place to have a problem such as corrosion. The connectors are easy to use, reliable and you do not have to use the conventional 4 flat wire. I have used these connectors with individual wires as well as a round, 4 conductor wire. In addition, these connectors are a newer version with screws to connect the plug together rather than a snap connector. This version also makes them easier to take apart in case of a malfunction.

Wanted a connector I could bolt to my bumper instead of leaving it dangling. This fit the bill. My only complaint is that the no-strip wire connectors were apparently designed for a heavier gauge wire than my wiring harness has (no gauge range stated on the web site or packaging), so they didn't make good contact on the first try. I had to double the wires over before pushing them in so they made good contact (that made them a little too tight but it worked). I didn't originally think I needed the LEDs, but they came in handy letting me know about the connection problem, and reassured me that my fix took care of it.

Some of the lights on my trailer have stopped working. I havent had time to investigate, but I would not be at all surprised if it is related to the wire gauge mismatch.
by: Tom M. 10/23/2017
This connector was just what I was looking for to avoid doing any soldering or the entire harness. Was quick and easy to install. As a bonus, delivery was expected on a Mon., got it on Fri. Thanks!

Worked good for a short time then I noticed one of the lights out on it. Tried getting better contact then it never worked again so I just took it off.

Very easy to install and fast delivery
by: Len03/15/2021
My Toyota 4-Runner has the trailer wiring hookup on the left side of the truck instead of the center near the trailer hitch so I have to use an extension wire. I replaced the end that the trailer plugs into with a matching end of this product so that the length allows me to tywrap the new end by the trailer hitch area. I then replaced the trailer connector with the same style of this product. It’s now a breeze to test the trailer lights and determine if and malfunctions are on the truck or trailer wiring.

I have used this product for a year now and it works as good as it did when I purchased it. Great product.
by: Doug07/15/2017
Product is good, easy to install. Light on individual wire makes it easy along with the clear instructions that come with it. Video of item is very helpful.
Worst thing UPS to USPO mail service: always seems to be a day or two dead period.

Great, still working
by: Twotrailers04/01/2019
This connector is much more robust than the standard ones. It was simple to install and the bolt-together cover keeps the wiring firmly connected. I have had no problems with either of my trailers. The end cap stays on and keeps the contacts clean. Finally, I like the red LEDs that tell you at a glance which wires are live. Trailer wiring the way it should be.
by: JohnofArk10/13/2018
I broke the ground post off the hitch connector on my 2008 Toyota RAV4 and I bought this replacement connector on your website. It was very easy to just clip the four wires on my broken connector and insert the wires into this replacement connector. The replacement connector has two screws to open it up and then you just push the four wires into each push "V" connector. No stripping wires or terminal screws. The LED lights work just like the description on the website which made it easy to confirm the connections were good. The overall project took about 30 minutes. The only problem I had was that
the two bracket holes didn't match the holes on my tow bar, so I could only use one screw to re-attach the new connector. I used electrical tape to secure the wires so they wouldn't hang down.
by: Robert04/21/2018
Could not have been simpler. Backed truck up on to ramps, unbolted the original harness (on which the ground plug had snapped off) verified the colors and placement of the wires on the new plug, cut them, slid the wires into this new plug per the directions, screwed the cap on and bolted it up in place where the original was. The LED's showed everything was working and it was done. No more than 10 minutes beginning to end. Could not have been easier or less expensive to repair my harness. A win/win.
by: Frank 06/15/2023
Just what I needed. The service was qui ck.

Great box for making all the connections for the plug harness, trailer brakes, and the brake battery and safety switch. etrailer has all the parts needed to rewire a trailer from plug to lights!!!
by: Max 03/30/2020
Great replacement for my 2000 Ford Ranger and likely any vehicle with tow light connector.
My cables were a little thin for the internal V spikes that you splice the wire in to, so I needed to take a pair of needle nose pliers and wrap them around the lead inside.
Came with terminal grease, which I didn't expect.
The three lights on the connector are great to make sure it's all working.
Highly recommended.

I have not installed it yet but I like that it is sturdy construction with a hefty cap to keep the contacts clean. Extra added bonus is it actually has led's so that you know the connection is good! Only A few days delivery. Looks easy to install, no soldering or wire connectors needed.
by: Kevin M05/15/2014
This worked like a charm and I'm about a 2/10 on the handyman skills level. Was easy to install and worked immediately. Service from etrailer was first rate - kept me up to date with shipping etc and followed up to check on my satisfaction. Delighted

Product has worked perfectly and makes it so much easier when hooking the trailer up to the car. No more dangling wires!

- 4-Way Round Trailer Connection Much Smaller Than What I Can FindI have never seen a connection like that for a 4-way. Regardless of the pin size the slot is internal to the plug on the connection point instead of external as on current 4-Pole Round Connector # PK11404. I recommend replacing the connection with a standard size round connector # PK11404 or converting to the more common 4-flat # HM48190. The Adapter 4 Round to 4 Flat # will use the standard 4 round size connector.

- Recommended Wiring For 5th Wheel RV Trailer to Pull Another TrailerWe do not have any kits for adding a trailer connector to a 5th wheel trailer, but you can simply run the wires from as far back as you can tap into the signal on your 5th wheel to the rear. I suggest using the Deka Bonded 4 Wire # 16-4B-1 sold by the foot. You can use quick splice wire connectors like # SWC501925-1. For the back of your RV, you can use the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w LED Test Lights - Vehicle End # HM48190. If you need to...

If you are looking for a keyed power source that only sees voltage with the key on you will need to also install a part # PK5231201 inline with the 12 volt power circuit from the battery with a keyed power source run to the middle...

- Solution for Connecting RV 4-Flat Male to 4-Flat Male on Tow DollyI do have a solution for you, however we do not have any adapters available that will allow you to connect the two male 4-flat connectors on your RV and tow dolly. An RV or vehicle will typically have a 4-flat female connector at the rear for hook up with the trailer. I recommend simply cutting the male connector from the RV and replacing it with the Vehicle End Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat # HM48190. After cutting off the RV's male connector, you will simply insert...

These two parts will give you a coiled 4-pole extension with both vehicle-side and trailer-side 4-pole connectors, with LED test lights on the vehicle side plug.

You can zip tie it or even let it hang if you prefer. I included a couple video reviews for you too.

They can sometimes still allow some power to trickle back even if they are bad so that is one thing to check. There could also be a corrosion issue, ground problem, or wiring problem. If you are testing the pins on the 4-Way go ahead and test one of the wires going to the connector instead. If you get the proper voltage on the wire but not the pin then it is...

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Connector for 1997 Honda ValkyrieFirst, with LED lights, the color of the bulb needs to match the color of the lens. Otherwise you will have dim lights or off-color lights. If you want you can replace just the 4-Way end on the harness that you have with # HM48190. If you want to replace the whole harness I recommend going with a powered option such as # 119250KIT which will get the power for the trailer lights directly from the battery instead of drawing it through the tail light wiring.
view full answer... - Adapter to Go from 6-Way Square on Tow Vehicle to 4-Way Flat Trailer Side ConnectorIt sound like you want the opposite of adapter # 30104. That would mean your tow vehicle has a 6-Way square connector. What you can do is use # 37995 which has both the vehicle end and trailer ends. On the trailer end, you can wire the loose wires to a vehicle side 4-Way, # HM48190. Then you will have a 6-Way square to 4-Way flat adapter. The other option is to just replace the 4-Way flat on the trailer with the trailer end 6-Way that comes with # 37995.
view full answer... - Is the Terminal Grease Included with the Hopkins Connector Part # HM48190 ConductiveThe terminal grease that is included with the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Fix Replacement 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM48190 is non-conductive therefore you should not have any issues using it on the quick-splice terminals of the trailer connector. The grease as you mentioned is designed to keep out dirt and moisture therefore is highly recommended that you use accordingly. If you need more of the terminal grease for other applications then you can use part # 11755.

In regards to installation; the usual wire colors are green for right stop/turn, yellow for left stop/turn, brown for running, and white for ground. If you have different colors which is the case you will unfortunately have to test each wire for function by touching the wire lead directly...

You have ruled out the fuses/relays being the problem and by testing the 4-Way on the F-150 and seeing that you aren't getting power at the running lights pin, you also know that the trailer isn't an issue. At this point the problem has to either be coming from the actual factory wiring between the running lights circuit and the 4-Way, or with the 4-Way connector itself.

You can use the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 for the easiest connection.

Since the 7-Way part of the connector is hardwired on your Jeep, replacing the whole connector is the best way to go.
