Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Wiring Installation - 2015 GMC Sierra 3500- Video

Hopkins Endurance 7-Way Trailer Wiring Installation - 2015 GMC Sierra 3500

Today our 2015 GMC Sierra 3500, we'll be taking a look at and installing the Hopkins Endurance Quick Install 7-way Trailer Connector, part number HM47210. If your vehicle is equipped with the fifth-wheel towing package, it will probably have a pigtail that looks similar to this. This is a factory pigtail, and we're going to be using our universal pigtail to hook up to it. We aren't going to have a long enough ground to connect that to the frame, so we'll go ahead and connect that to the ground that's provided in the factory hookup. We'll go ahead and trim off the ground to the same length as the other wires and then we'll strip back our wires. The first 2 wires we're going to strip back is going to be that ground and the power. We'll first hook up the ground wire and then we'll hook up the power wire, that way we don't have to worry about disconnecting the battery. We will not go ahead and splice our wires together with the assistance of the DECA heat-shrink butt connectors, part number DW05745-10. more

Hopkins Trailer Wiring Adapter Installation - 2014 GMC Acadia

Today on our 2014 GMC Acadia, we're going to be installing the Hopkins 4-pole to 5-pole trailer wiring adapter. This is the short version. The part number is 47515. The 4-pole to 5-pole adapter is going to be a perfect solution for converting your current 4-pole trailer plug-in to work with the 5-pole surge brake style connector. Basically, we just plug in this to our standard 4-pole, and we're going to run our blue wire up, and we're going to tie it in to the reverse light. Now as you can see here, there is a quick disconnect. If need be, if you're going to go back to at standard 4-pole trailer, we can simply pull this off and our wiring will be there for when we need to use it the next time. Then, we can just plug it right back in, and we'll be ready to go after hooking it into our 4-pole. It comes with about that much wire. more
