Recommended 7-Way Wiring for Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I need the round 7 pin cone yet and brackets instead of the 4 pole flat . Could you give me the park number please. And could you explain how the Hopkins works only plugging into one side of the Jeep. Cheers and thanks John

Expert Reply:
The Hopkins # 42615 is able to differentiate the signals and send it to the trailer with the single connector on the passenger's side. Although I don't know which Jeep you specifically have, I would choose the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118409 which fits the same vehicles over the Hopkins. We have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable when it comes to wiring.
After you install a 4-way you will be able to add a 7-way connection. For that you would need the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This comes with all of the wiring, circuit breakers, and adapter you need in order to add a 7-way to your Jeep. The 7-way adapter also has a 4-way connection so you can use both if you need it.
I have attached some installation videos for your reference.
