Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2015 Subaru Forester- Video
Welcome to etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Hopkins trailer wiring harness here on our 2015 Subaru Forester. The 4-pole trailer wiring connector is gonna help our vehicle provide the necessary lighting functions to keep us safe on the road to our trailer, our left turn, our right turn, our running lights, and our brakes to help us stay DOT compliant. A lot of trailer wiring harnesses out there on the market, you're gonna have to run a separate power wire all the way up to the front of the vehicle to connect to the battery. With the Hopkins wiring harness, we don't have to do that, because there's already a towing prep package port right behind this panel here on the Subaru. With plugging into the factory prep package port on our vehicle, we also have an inline module that's gonna protect our vehicle from any back feed from our trailer's wiring system, so that way if there's a problem on the trailer, it does not affect the lights on our vehicle. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2015 Subaru Forester C56040- Video
Today on our 2015 Subaru Forester, we're going to install part number C56040. This is a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with a 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. To get access to our wiring, we need to get inside the vehicle, so we'll open up the back hatch. Our wiring harness is going to be located along this panel right here, so we need to go ahead and remove the floor coverings and some panels as well so we can get behind this. Now these push pins can be a little bit finicky, but we use a trim panel tool to catch the edge right here and pull it up, and then snap. Next this threshold will have to come off, and rock it with steady pressure if you grab the edge here and pull up on it, then it'll pop loose. Now there's a couple of catches here, so I have to push it forward a little bit to release it. more
