Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter Installation - 2010 Ford Explorer- Video
Today on our 2010 Ford Explorer, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Hopkins Wiring Adapter for converting a four pole flat into a working seven pole and four pole. Part number is 37185. Here's what our wiring kit is going to look like when we pole it out of the package. This is a really excellent way to adapt the plug on the back of your vehicle from being just a single type, either the seven pole or four pole than having to use adapters. As you can see we've got our four pole here. It's going to fit your common four pole flat trailer connector with ground, running lights, left turn and brake signal and right turn and brake signal. For our seven pole side, this is going to give us the additional functions of twelve volt power if we hook it up, our brake controller wire if we hook it up and also a reverse signal if we hook that up. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2015 Ford Explorer- Video
Today in our 2015 Ford Explorer, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Curt Adapter from 4 Pole to 7 Pole and a 4 Pole with Test Lamps, part number C57674. You won't have to use any adapters to go from 7-way to a 4 flat-plug because you have a separate 4 flat to the side. One of the really nice features about this is that it has a built-in test circuit that's going to light up as you go through your features. If your trailer is plugged in and you have a bad circuit or a bad bulb, it's not going to light up that circuit, letting you know you need to check your wiring on your trailer. It's got a nice big plastic cover with a metal bar for hinge, a weather-tight seal. It's going to go around and help seal up your connections and keep moisture and dirt out. It also has a nice weather-tight seal for our 4-flat side. This is what your kit is going to consist of. This is our 7-pole connector and the four-pole flat. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2014 Ford Explorer 56146KIT- Video
Today on our 2014 Ford Explorer we'll be installing the Curt converter box with a hardwire kit and a 4-pole end, part number 56146KIT. We'll begin by opening up the rear hatch of the vehicle. Next we're going to start over here on the driver's side where we'll need to remove the tail light assembly from the vehicle. To do that, we'll need to remove these two covers here, small flathead screwdriver underneath the cover will allow it to be removed. Once each of the covers are removed we'll need to remove the two screws that are underneath it; one underneath each cover, one there and one there. Once you have both of the screws removed we can go ahead and slide the tail light assembly away from the vehicle. Go ahead and take our tail light assembly and set it aside for right now. Next we're going to need to use our test light and figure out which wire goes for which function. more
