Hopkins 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole Adapter Installation - 2019 Toyota Highlander- Video
Connor: Hey everybody, how's it going Connor today at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a look at the Hopkins 4 and 7-Pole Trailer Connector Adapter here for our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Now, granted, this may vary a little bit, depending on what trailer connector mounting bracket we're using, but more often than not, it's going to be secured to the hitch receiver tube here, which is going to give us a nice accessible location here as well as going to be sturdy so we don't have to worry about it shifting around or plugging in our trailer connectors. So a seven-pole trailer connector is going to be a step up from the standard four-way trailer connector, and some reasons why you might need a seven-way trailer connector, number one, the most common is if you have electric brakes on your trailer, you are going to be required to run a seven-way trailer connector.And another common occurrence we see of the seven-way trailer connectors being used is if the trailer has a battery and you need to run a battery charge line circuit. So if you have a larger trailer with electric brakes or an onboard battery, chances are it's going to use a seven-way trailer connector, so we're going to need one of these for the vehicle.So this trailer connector here is sort of unique in that it offers pretty much plug and play installation because it's going to plug into an existing four-way trailer connector we have on the vehicle. And if you don't have one of these, we have plenty of plug and play options here at etrailer. more

Today in our 2015 Toyota Highlander we're going to be showing you how to install the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, Part Number is 20036. Now our installation's going to begin by attaching our blue wire that's going to come with the kit to the reverse light wire, so that the wire that becomes hot or turns on are reverse lights. Now they're in the door in the hatch of the Highlander here, so we're going to go in to one of the wire looms located inside. We're going to go to the one that's on the left side here, and we'll just pull the boot up of the bracket that's holding it down. What we're going to do is just slide that loom up, get it out of the way now where we can get into our bunch of wires here. The wire that we're looking for is going to be a red wire. The good news is that there's only 5 of them. We only have to test 5 wires to figure out which one's going to be which, it should be this thicker one here but we'll see in a minute. more
