Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter Installation - 2013 Dodge Durango- Video

Today on our 2013 Dodge Durango, we'll be installing the Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole Adapter, part number 37185.The first step to installing our 7-Way Adapter is going to be to install our bracket up on the mounting point on our hitch. We will take the included hardware, which are the lock nuts and these two Phillips machine screws. We'll line up the holes on our mounting plate and the bracket on the hitch, and we'll drop the Phillips screw through, then put the locking nut on the bottom. Since the screwdriver is a little tough to get in this position, we'll put a socket on the bottom and tighten it that way. With that one snug, we'll move to the other side.Now with the bracket in place, we can mount our 7-Way Connector. Now we'll take our 7-Way Connector, we'll line up the mounting points with the mounting points on our bracket, slide the wire through the opening at the bottom, and once it's in place, we just line up those holes.This is the hardware we'll be using to mount the 7-Way Connector. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter Installation - 2008 Dodge Durango- Video

Today on a 2008 Dodge Durango we'll be adding the Hopkins adapter 4 pole to 7 pole and 4 pole, part number 37185. First we'll go ahead and put the 7 pole bracket on with the hardware provided with our install kit. We're going to take the bracket, feed it over the wires, and up to the back of the mounting surface for the 7 pole adapter. Then we'll take the screws, feed them through the front side of the 7 pole and secure it with the nuts on the back side. Once we have all 4 in place we'll go ahead and tighten them down. I'm going to go ahead and take some black electrical tape and wrap up 8 to 10 inches of our wire. This will assist in bundling our wires together and help protect it from the elements. more
