Connecting Reverse Light Circuit of Hopkins 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter 37185
Question:
I have a 2014 Toyota Sienna and I am adding the Hopkins 4 way to 7 way and 4 way. My pop up camper does have reverse lights. How do I connect the wire for the reverse lights into my vehicles reverse lights?

You are going to have to run the purple wire of the 7-way adapter part # 37185 to the reverse light circuit of your 2014 Toyota Sienna so that the reverse light circuit of the trailer wiring is active. While we don't have an install video that shows this process on your exact vehicle I attached a link to an install video that shows how a 4-way to 5-way adapter gets wired in that basically shows the same process.
To make the connection you'll want to use the quick splice connector part # SWC502905-1.
