Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at ETrailer, and today we're taking a look and installing the Hopkins four-pull trailer wiring on a 2015 Chevy Colorado. A four-pull trailer wring kit is essential anytime you are pulling a trailer. Now that's because it's going to send you signals from your vehicle to your trailer for your turn signals, your running light and your brake lights. So that's going to let people behind you know what you're actually doing, and it's going to keep you safe and legal. Now, if you are planning on pulling a heavier trailer that has brakes, you're going to need to go to a seven-pull system, which we have here at ETrailer. more

Hopkins Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Colorado

Hi there, Colorado owners. Today in your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Hopkins seven and four pole wiring connector with harness. This is going to make a great replacement harness if you have a damaged connector here at the back on your Colorado. You can easily replace your factory wiring, but it also allows you to add wiring to your Colorado as many Colorado's come with factory wiring pre-attached to the frame underneath and they'll just have a dummy plug here where it's just a cover that doesn't have any openings. Those can pop out and this will insert directly into that, and then you can use the included harness to wire it right up to that factory connector.What I like about this is that you get both a seven and a four pole connector, so regardless of which type your trailer has you've got accommodations for both. It allows you to use your factory wiring, so unlike some of the other harnesses out there, you don't have to tap into any of the circuits. more

And the fact that it's not only going to give us a 7-Way connector, but if you flip open the door on the bottom, it's also going to provide us with a four-pole flat connector.

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Colorado

Speaker 1: Today in this 2018 Chevrolet Colorado, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Hopkins 7-pole and 4-pole trailer connector sockets and wiring, part number HM40975-11998.Here's what a wiring harness looks like installed. Now the reason you're going to want this wiring harness over other options is because this gives us a 7-way here, which gives us the ability to tow a trailer with electric brakes, provided you have brake controller installed in your vehicle and it also gives us a 4-pole flat. So if we're towing just a small trailer and only need lighting functions, this will be a great way for us to be able to tow both trailers without needing any adapters. The most common connectors you see on trailers are either a 7-pole, like the hard top one, or a 4-pole, like our bottom.Another great feature about this, is that this gives us a very factory-like appearance on our Colorado. Matter of fact, this exact piece right here is actually used by several manufacturers during the manufacturing process on the vehicle.Our doors are spring-loaded and as you see, we have a nice rubber seal around them to help keep elements out of the inside of our connector, which could cause corrosion over time. This will make sure we have a nice solid electrical connection with any of our trailers so we don't have to worry about short circuits or poor performance from brakes or lighting.And now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed.To begin our install, we went head and removed our spare tire. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2005 Chevrolet Colorado

Today on our 2005 Chevy Colorado we're going to install the Curt Wiring Harness part number C55510. To begin with on the back corner of the vehicle on the driver side we will locate the wiring harness where we will make our connections. If you will notice one side has pins in it and the other side has female slot areas. You will take the side that has the pins and push it into the side that has the female slots. Once you have both connections made you need to take the self-tapping screws supplied with the kit and find a good spot on the frame to secure the grounding wire. We will use a two-sided adhesive tape and we will attach the converter box to the back side of our hitch. Now that this is done we will use some zip ties to secure the extra wiring up out of the way. As you can see here we've taken the end of the 4-pole and used the loop strap that comes with the kit to connect it to the safety chain loop. That will do it for our Curt Wiring Harness part number C55510 on our 2005 Chevy Colorado. . more
