Plug-and-play custom harness gets turn and brake signals on your towed car with no hardwiring or splicing, and no effect on your warranty. The built-in diodes protect your car from electrical feedback.
Features:
Notes:
A combined lighting system, or 2-wire system, uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning. (In other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light.)
A separate lighting system, or 3-wire system, has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically, the turn signal is amber.
To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.
If the engine is off and your car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.

Got to etrailer in my search and it ended there. These people KNOW their trailers and equipment, not only did I get everything I wanted for the best price on the net, but in two instances staff recommended other ways to do the same job that saved me about $309.00. There is one sales rep there, Katie D. who is on the top of her job, an immense help ordering, also pointing out where I can get additional help thru video that etrailer has. Just a great company to deal with.
Installed easily with video. Product as described and worked perfectly. Sales support was helpfull and patient.
I bought this wiring kit about a year ago. It worked great on my first trip towing my 2013 Chevy Silverado to Glacier National Park from KC and back. When I tried using it again about 6 months later it didn't work. I tried to unplug it to test the circuit and the tabs that keep it fastened together broke off. I gave up on it.
Product worked exactly as described. Thrilled about not having to cut my wires to make my lights work when flat towing. Bill E at etrailer was a great help, put me on this awesome product.
This kit is soooo much easier than having to splice in all the various components to get the same result. It is literally plug-and-play.
The relay went in pretty smooth too, only problem was finding the wires under a very crowded dash in my Chevy Avalanche. By the way, the white wire from the brake switch plug is the one you need.
Plugged in the new Hopkins # 56101 wiring kit to my 2005 Chevy Silverado truck and this wiring harness is defective. Left side running and turn signals do not work, right side turn signal, right side marker lights and license plate lights work. Very disappointed after waiting over one week.

I see that you had reached out to Customer Service and were trouble shooting with the harness. I wanted to see what happened with the harness. Do you still need assistance with it? We do have a FAQ that can help. Please see it below.

Very good product. Only difficulty was in ordering. Not seeing, on line, the product I wanted prompted me to make a phone call. In which I was sent a splice harness when asked for a plug and play harness. This caused me to return it at my own expense. Bottom line,,,,make sure you know "Exactly" the harness you are needing to avoid exchanges as they come at your expense.
I enjoyed have actual person to assist in ording the easiest correct wiring kit to make my installation job quick and painless. Thanks trailer!
I Installed on my 2013 Silverado with no problems. I pull the pickup with a Triple E Empress RV and have gone from Iowa to Key West last winter and from Iowa to Prince Edwards Island Canada last summer.
Very excited to install, simple instruc tions.
Installed today, no problems, looks to be good quality and everything works
Make sure you hold the lock open when plugging it in or you will have trouble.
Not sure it is long enough for a long bed.

Works great, no problems.
again the order was handled promptly and received quickly. We appreciate you keeping us advised when the order is shipped and when it can be expected. We ordered something else from another company the same day and have not even received a response that they have received the order, but they put the debit through and got their money. Well pleased with your company.
Its a great and easy to use wiring kit for my 2013 chevy 2500 HD
Easy and quick installation. Works great.
I received exactly what I ordered on the day I was told it would arrive.
All in perfect condition and all work as described.

Very nice fit. Having a more durable wrap over the wire would be nice but I had some to use.
Excellent kit for wiring my 2008 GMC Truck. Very easy to install.
