Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector - 30717

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (596 Customer Reviews)


by:

This product works as expected. There is not too much to the installation, just plug it in properly and mount the ground wire.
I did not find an easy way to mount this to my wife's Odyssey, or to the trailer hitch (item# 75270). Luckily, I do prototype design and manufacturing. So I came up with my own solution. I designed and made my own bracket to mount the 7 pole to the trailer hitch. It works like a charm, and looks great!



by:

this connector along with the short L bracket and the mount bracket- gave me a nice connector to my hitch.
Though I used the short connector and did have to slightly bend it to allow the 4 to 7 pole connector to fit.

If Id bought the long L bracket-- It could have worked-- but bending a little worked well.



by:

I was really skeptical about this adapter but for no reason! Installed in about 10 minutes using etrailer mounting bracket, dielectric grease, a couple zip ties, and some electric tape. Worked perfectly the first time I tested it on my trailer.



by:

i had to replace these two items as my dear daughter went down our goat path driveway too fast. they replaced the originals from etrailer from the prior year. shipping is timely and customer service actually helps! i wired from battery to controller to hitch myself, and everything fit.

its working well, no issues.



by:

This 7 point harness wired right in with my T1 connector and is great for hooking up to my camper, very easy to install!



by:

There was no splicing wires, it was plug-and-play, highly recommended, very easy installation



by:

Every time etrailer has provided me with the needed wiring!



by:

I wanted to show the custom installation. I did not want it under the bumper



by:

Joe at etrailer was able to provide this solution and saved me literally hundreds of dollars to have a reputable place put in a new harness onto my AWD MKX. Thank you!

The adapter worked out perfectly. And now after almost a year no issues whatsoever.



by:

I bought this because I hated the flat four pole that just hung over the bumper. Drilled a 1 7/8 inch hole in my bumper with bimetal hole saw. Mounted nice and clean. Be sure to hook up the White ground wire to your frame. The ground wire from the flat four does not pass thru this connector. Also if need be you can still pull a trailer with a flat four pole just by unpluging it

It’s a year later. Still working great no problems



by:

Works great. Easy install.

It's
more sensitive to dirt than I expected, but that might be common to all trailer connections, I don't know. I noticed on a trip that my brake controller said NC (no connection), and I didn't have trailer brakes, which meant my blinkers probably hadn't been working, either. I got pretty worried, and looked at it and only saw just a little black gunk on one blade. But cleaning that small amount of black gunk off solved the problem.

So far, so good!

Thanks for your business and your review, Zach! Using dielectric grease like 11755 on your connections increases reliability and the life of the connection by preventing corrosion and sealing the connection.



by:

Has been working great since purchased and installed 3 months ago. Used for several different trailers and long distance trips. Easy to install. Had to be slightly creative with the attachment of the ground. Did not see a reason to have a ground on this portion since everything else is already grounded, however would not work without grounding to the frame. Only used the four way connection and taped remaining three back. Hope for good things to come with this produce. Highly recommend this product.

Had the same issue with the ground kurt. Almost gave up on it until I read your post. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Ours wasnt working either until we grounded it to car frame.



by:

This is a great product . The price was $18.00 dollars cheaper than some I found online. I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 pickup, this adapter will change the 4 pole( which is made on my truck) to a 7 pole( which is on the trailer I will be using). The product connected, and bolted up to my truck bumper very easy. E trailer is the best.

Im still enjoying this product, Ive used it several times, still workingwell



by:

Hitch was as advertised. The printed instructions made it a breeze. Took about an hour with me and an experienced mechanic. The light kit took a little longer than expected but was installed inside the car vice behind the lights like the video showed. Towing a camper this weekend, not expecting any issues.

All is well. Don’t use it that often but when I needed it they’ve been there. I’ll use etrailer from now on.



by:

The website was extremely easy to use especially with the feature to pick my vehicles connection and my trailers connection. My purchase arrived very promptly and the customer service was excellent. The adapter works perfectly and I will definitely shop from etrailer again.

I appreciate the follow-up. I must say that your company has provided an excellent customer service experience for me. I wish more companies cared as much. The product still works great. I use it when towing my trailer regularly.



by:

The staff is very friendly. I would have awarded 5 stars but there was a shipping issue. They did get me all the parts I ordered, with simple communication, a couple pictures and minimal frustrations I got everything over two shipments. It took a little longer to get everything then anticipated. They deserve 4.5 stars not just a 4. I will do business with them again and I do recommend them. Will be ordering a receiver hitch through them this spring.



by:

We only discovered this site recently and LOVE it. You don't have to know what you want, the questions lead you to exactly what you are needing. The item is of great quality, and as described. We can now swap from truck to jeep with our trailer, and simply without effort.

We have found our new 'to go' store for our trailer shopping. Customer Service by the way, terrific, great communication, and very quick shipping. Really Great Experience, Highly recommend.

Weve moved in the past year, our new home 250 miles away from our old one. We used the hitch a lot, did I say a lot? daily round trips, never had a single problem with it. Worked like a champ. Thanks



by:

Great product makes wiring a 4 flat to a 7 rv blade a snap. However the ground in the 4 flat is not connected. Must connect extenal grd.Not a big deal. One nice thing is shipping is resonable!!

Harold Z.

Outstanding, no issues with corrosion on plug



by:

I was surprised how fast the shipping was and the price for the product was very reasonable. I did not mind that there was no mounting plate for the adapter because I wanted something that would hook up to the camper when I need to use it and then take it off afterwards. I know I will be coming to etrailer for any other trailer or camper needs that may come up.

Al N.

could not be happier with the purchase that I made



by:

This adapter also went well , be aware it did not come with the mounting plate ,be sure and order the mounting plate at the same time , as I had to get mine after the fact , in all honesty it was my mistake .Unless this is a repair replacement you will need the plate to install this item .

Very well made, works well for older vehicle equipped with 4 pin to have working lights on a 7 pin trailer.

Thanks for the follow up, the items I ordered are doing fine and Ive mentioned your website/company to family and friends. Keep up the good work.



by:

Average quality part, would be nice to include a mount but ended up going the extra mile and used a hole saw to install it in my van’s bumper out of harms way. Would be easily damaged if mounted near the hitch.

Item # 18138 is the mounting bracket that works with this wiring.



by:

etrailers is my go-to site for anything trailer related. Once again the part is perfect, pricing and delivery excellent. This part went on a 1991 Range Rover to connect to a rather battered PJ flatbed for a one time tow. Worked great! Thanks!

I haven’t had an opportunity to use it, but it is good to have it available. Thanks for the follow-up!



by:

Used this adaptor to replace the factory tow package flat 4-pin connector on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. It's sad that Toyota is still using a cheap flat 4-pin connector on their factory tow package for a vehicle rated to tow 5,000 LBS. Would it really have cost that much extra for them to just use a round 6- or 7-pin connector to begin with? The installation was pretty straightforward using a new mounting bracket for the round 7-pin connector in place of the existing 4-pin bracket. I hooked up the white ground wire to the mounting screw for the new bracket after sanding paint off the bracket and nut and using dielectric grease for the ground wire and 4-pin connections. Spent some time re-routing and zip-tying wires and taped up the 3 wires on the adaptor that I won't be using. Nice clean installation. Trailer running lights, turn signals and brake lights work great. A quality product delivered in a timely manner by etrailer.com.



by:

This RV receptacle works great for my set up. Most of the wires hooked to the Curt wiring harness connector. I installed a two wire cable from this to the front for 12Vddc and Electric brake control. I also hooked to my backup light to provide for my trailer back-up lights (LED).

  • What Parts Do I Need To Upgrade My 4 Flat To A 7 Way Connector And Use A Wireless Brake Controller?
    It sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. You would plug the Adapter # C57672 into the existing 4 flat plug. Then the Kit # C51500 contains the rest of the wires you will need to run to upgrade to a 7 way. From there you will be ready to plug in and use a wireless brake controller like the # C51180. Since the Curt echo works off of the vehicles brake lights, technically you would only need to connect the 12v wire to the 7 way plug in order to use it. The additional wires...

  • Need Adapter For Vehicle With A 7-Pin Round Plug And A Trailer With A Standard 7-Way
    Hey Tim, thanks for the pictures. We have exactly what you need. I recommend the Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # PK12-724. This will plug in to the 7 round pin male plug on your vehicle and allow you to plug the 7-flat female trailer plug into the other end. You may want to use a bracket like part # PK12711U to mount the plug.

  • Wiring Needed to Use the Curt Echo Brake Controller on a 2015 Jeep Cherokee
    I'm glad to hear that you will only be towing your trailer with your 2015 Jeep Cherokee when it is empty. I was a little afraid that you were planning on hauling a car. Since the trailer weighs 500 lbs under the max towing capacity of your Cherokee you should be just fine traveling at highway speeds. Since your trailer will have brakes it isn't a bad idea to go ahead and wire up your Cherokee so that you can use your Curt Echo # C51180. For this you just need the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit #...

  • Where Does the Black Wire Attach for Harness 30717 on a 2003 Chrysler Town and Country
    The black 12 volt lead on Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector, # 30717, attaches directly to the battery on your 2003 Chrysler Town and Country. You will have to attach the black wire to a length of additional wire, like 10 Gauge Blue Primary Wire - per foot, # 10-1-1, under your vehicle and run that wire to the battery through a 40 amp circuit breaker, # PK54540.

    Yes, since you're not really needing the full # ETBC7 kit you could just use the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717 to swap out your current 7-way for one that can be used with brake controllers. The blue wire would be for a hardwired brake controller and the yellow wire is for connecting to the reverse light circuit. Since you won't need either of these wires at this moment I recommend just capping the together with some electrical tape and then tucking them...

  • Does Yellow Wire of 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter part # 30717 Need to be Connected
    The aux circuit of the # 30717 which is the yellow wire does not have to ran anywhere if the trailer does not need it. Typically this would run to the reverse light circuit if a back up light or reverse lockout solenoid was used. But for nearly all RV applications you don't have to connect that wire.

  • Wiring Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector
    You could wire the Tow Ready Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 30717 without the brake functions and just have the light functions on your tow vehicle without connecting the other wires. But I would be very cautious about not doing so for several reasons. The main reason is safety. The general rule for towing trailers with brakes is that if the Gross Trailer Weight is half of the Gross Vehicle Weight it is recommended to use a brake controller and have brakes on the trailer.

  • Is There Better Way To Charge Your Trailer Batteries While On The Go
    Hey Brady, The solar panel system should've done a good job of keeping the batteries charged in storage unless a lot of things were left on pulling a large load.

    If your trailer is equipped with a 7-Way but you only need to power its basic signal lights (and not electric brakes) then adding a 7-Way connector to your 2020 Ford Transit T250 will actually be fairly simple. To do this you will need to start with a 4-Way harness.

Because you don't have the factory tow package, we need to take a couple steps to get us there. The first step is to see if the factory wiring for a tow package is present.

Either connector will plug inline with your existing trailer connector, allowing you to retain the function of your existing 4-pole. Either kit includes the necessary fuses and relays to activate the remainder of the tow package circuits.
