The 5-way flat connector is found on most newer boat trailers that have hydraulic brakes. The fifth wire in this model ties into the reverse lights on your vehicle so that a signal can be sent to your hydraulic brake actuator to disengage whenever the tow vehicle is put into reverse. To use this function, your actuator must have an electric reverse lockout with solenoid.
The 5-way design will also work with small utility trailers that have electric brakes. For this type of application, the fifth wire will need to be wired to correspond with your in-cab, electric brake controller.

I fitted the Hopkins 5-way flat connector harness with a 5-way round plug which couples to my Goldwing trike (tow vehicle). The popup trailer lights operate as designed.
by: Robert08/26/2018
Connector and wire harness well made - connector designed such that it can be mounted and harness has added protection for wires.
Would like to have marine grade wire since I do mostly saltwater fishing. I mounted the connector on a piece of 1.5" square galvanized tubing painted black.

Looks durable and should do the job.

I'm one of those people who do a lot of research before making a purchase. I am very happy with the quality of the Hopkins trailer connector and would highly recommend it.. Good quality products and excellent service from etrailer.com

Worked great on my 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback. Unlike the previous generation (2021 and older) you DO NOT have to trim the internal metal bumper for clearance of the outer plastic bumper. Trimming the lower diffuser was pretty easy and only required a 3-1/4 in cut in depth and about 2-1/4 in width (If you want the gaps super tight). Remember to tape off the panels before you get started to prevent chips and paint scratches and you'll be set.

Delivery was faster than I expected. I bought a converter with the appropriate adapters to go from a 4 wire vehicle to a trailer with turn signals separate from the brakes. I haven't done my final assembly yet, but I did take a few minutes to twist the wires together to make sure everything was going to work like it was supposed to. Instructions were clear, wires & converter were clearly labeled & preliminary hook up took less than 10 minutes.

ONE YEAR AFTER THIS WIRING HARNESS IS STILL WORKING GREAT . THE PART IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED AND THE SERVICE AT ETRAILER IS AWSOME..... I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE THE WINTERS ARE VERY COLD AND THE ROADS ARE VERY SALTY AND IT HAS HELD UP GREAT.... AWSOME PRODUCT

etrailer is a great place. They have both quality equipment and parts, as well as excellent prices. If you need some advice, they can supply that as well. It is rare in the days of internet buying that you can find all three qualities from one store.
by: Dennis01/19/2018
This connector is built to last. A big step up from most flat 4 or 5 wire in quality.
With it's secure fitting dust/dirt cover I have no worries that the terminals
will stay clean and always make a good connection . The 3 year warranty is a
plus also.
by: Eddie01/22/2018
Not installed yet due to weather & travel. Prefer to 5 pin adapter kit. Like extra cable / wire length to connect to Jeep wire harness so all connections are in a protected space. Heavy duty and like dust cap.
by: Glenn V.08/06/2013
Product exactly as described. Etrailer.com delivered to my door within 3 days! As always excellent communication and transaction.
Will continue to use them for all my trailering needs.
by: Herald k.05/26/2016
I needed to change from a 4 prong trailer connection to a 5 prong. The product was easy to wire and works great. A good product and I would recommend it to anyone.
by: Steve - Air20606/07/2015
Great Product. Each terminal is identified in the plastic plug end - making wiring and troubleshooting easier.
Comes with a decorative and protective loom and covering end cap.
by: Smits02/23/2017
A quality built wiring harness. Heavy duty and well constructed.

Great quality piece. Will made wiring my Jeep to my trailer so much easier.

Attached easily. Nice that NO extra bracket is needed to attach to the bumper.

Great quality, good materials, good wire gauge, covers built in. Just all around nice.

We are a hitch install shop that specializes in all things towing and this wiring was installed multiple times over the last year, this is the best wiring to upgrade to the 5 flat that will last long because the wires and 5 flat head is more durable than some alternative options.

See what our Experts say about this Hopkins Trailer Wiring
- Availability of Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan NomadWe do offer any plug-and-play trailer wiring harness for the Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad. The parts you will need will depend on the type of connector and wiring scheme on the trailer you intend to pull. Your Vulcan uses separate wiring for its stop and turn signals. If your trailer is wired in the same way you could simply wire in on the bike an appropriate 5-pole vehicle side connector, such as Hopkins # HM47900. If you'd like to tell me about the trailer's wiring system and its connector...

view full answer... - Can Blue Wire of Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector HM47900 be Used for Reverse CircuitThe blue wire of the # HM47900 can be used for basically any circuit. Typically for 5-ways like this the reverse light circuit is the most common circuit ran to the 5th wire. So this would work well for your application.

You may also be interested in a Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design, part # HM47900, that has 16 gauge wires also.

You would need to connect the wires of each connector together matching them by color and you'd have a 36 inch long 5-way extension.

view full answer... - Creating a 6-Way Round to 5-Way Flat Trailer Wiring AdapterWe do not carry a 6-way to 5-way adapter, so I recommend making one using the Hopkins Trailer Connector Adapter - 6-Pole Round to 6-Pole Square # HM47415 and removing the 6-pole square to replace with the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design # HM47900. You won't use the 12V feature so I recommend removing that wire from the 6-way so it doesn't draw any power. I've attached a wiring article to help with the connections.
view full answer... - What is the Wire Gauge Size for the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Connector # HM47910I called Hopkins to double check the wire gauge on the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way flat trailer connector, # HM47910, and # HM47900. I also pulled the wiring harnesses to see for myself which wire size the harness is constructed with. Our technical representative at Hopkins checked their build data and said the wires for both harnesses are 16 gauge wires. So with all of the discrepancies, I decided to pull some wire and produce a short video detailing the size of the wire for you, see link....
view full answer... - How to Use 4-Way Wiring of Trailer to Power Interior Lights from BatteryYou'll need to first convert the 4-way of your trailer to a 5-way since a 4-way does not carry an aux circuit that can be used for interior lights. If you were to wire the interior lights to 4-way wiring you'd end up having to have the exterior trailer lights powered at same time since it would have to be combined. So on the trailer end you'd want to install the part # HM47910 matching the current circuit colors with what you have now and then having the 5th pin run to the interior lights. Then...
view full answer... - How to Create an Adapter for a Vehicle's 6-Way Round to a Trailer's 5-Way FlatWe do have a way for you to connect your 6-way round and 5-way flat. We don't have a direct adapter, but a combination of two with a bit of splicing will do the trick. First, use part # HM47415 to convert your 6-way round into a 6-way square. Then, remove the 6-square from that and attach part # HM47900 to give you the 5-way flat connection point. I've linked to a help article of wiring to help you with this along with video reviews of both of the adapters. You won't be using the 12V...
view full answer... - Recommended Load Resistor Adapter for LED LightsIt sounds like you are looking for a 7-way adapter with the integrated load resistors. We do have that adapter...it is the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End # 20142. This works great for trailers with LED lights. I assume the 7 flat is the blade style and not the European 7 flat which we don't have the adapter for. It is the route to go before using individual function resistors like the LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor # DI34ZR which...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add 5-Way Wiring Harness to 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for Boat TrailerTo add a 5-Way connector to your 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118409 and then cutting the 4-Way off and splicing in the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47900. You will connect these 2 wiring harnesses per color and then use the blue wire to connect to your reverse light circuit on your Jeep. This will give you a 5-Way trailer connector with standard trailer light wiring as well as the reverse function needed to activate the reverse...
view full answer... - Availability of 5-Way Flat Connector for Towing a Boat Trailer with a 2019 GMC AcadiaIf you are just wanting an adapter for your 2019 GMC Acadia then you can use the Tow Ready # 20036. This connects to your 4-Way and then you wire the 5th (blue) wire to your reverse light circuit. For a more permanent option you can install the Hopkins # HM47900. This gives you a 5-Way that can also be used with most 4-Way connectors as well. I have attached an installation video of the adapter for you to check out. The installation of the 5-Way will be similar so the video will be beneficial...
view full answer... - Where Does Fifth Pin of Trailer 5-Way Run to Activate Reverse Lock Out SolenoidSounds like you are trying to activate a reverse lock out solenoid on a surge brake trailer so that it can back up freely. The fifth pin that is the furthest from the jacketed ground pin is the fifth circuit to use. This circuit would need to tap into the reverse light circuit of your tow vehicle. I attached an install video for the 5-way adapter part # 47515 that shows this process on a 2014 GMC Acadia.

There is a chance of overloading the wiring if you are using incandescent tail lights and clearance lights. With incandescent lights you would need to add all your wattages together for all the lights to determine if your tow vehicle is capable of providing enough...
view full answer... - How to Convert 4-Way of Motorcycle to 5-Way For Towing Trailer with Separate TailligthsIn order to be able to use the 4-way on your motorcycle you will need a converter like the Tow-Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, part # 118158. You will need to cut off your motorycle's 4-way and then wire this in place of it and then from there run it to a 5-way like the part # HM47900. The running light circuit of the original wiring will bypass the converter box.

Another option is to use the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 which has just the 5th function wire to connect to your reverse signal. This adapter simply requires less splicing. I've attached a video of this install to assist. I've...

- 4-Way Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Silverado for Wiring Up Strip LightFor a 4-way harness that will plug inline with the 7-way you have at the rear of your 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500HD you would want the Tekonsha part # 118384 which will do just that.
view full answer... - Replacing 7-Way Trailer Connector with Smaller Connector to Tow a Trailer with BrakesA 6-way round trailer connector, like # HM48420, once it's mounted isn't going to be much smaller than a 7-way. If you don't need any functions other than running, brake, and turn lights along with the brake circuit I suggest going with a 5-way flat connector like # HM47900. To put a 5-way on both your tow vehicle and trailer you can use the kit # HM47890 that includes both connectors.
view full answer... - Adding a Trailer Wiring Harness to a 2007 Harley Electraglide Classic to Tow a Solace CamperMotorcycles and trailers designed to be towed behind motorcycles have brake lights that are separate from the turn signal circuits. Provided this is true for your bike and trailer then you could wire a wiring harness directly to the bike's wiring. You would just need the proper vehicle side connector. It seems that many motorcycle trailers use a 5-Way flat so for a vehicle side you could use # HM47900. And I have also included a link to all of the vehicle side connectors we carry in case...
view full answer... - Is Adapter Needed to Tow Trailer with 5-Way Flat with a Harley Ultra Classic with 4-Way FlatMany times a 5-Way flat trailer connector will plug into a 4-Way flat connector. But if it doesn't then you would need an adapter such as # 47515. If the trailer is designed for use behind a motorcycle I am curious as to what the functions are for each of the 5 pins. On a typical 4-Way flat connector on a vehicle there is aground pin, running light pin, left turn signal/brake light pin, and right turn signal/brake light pin. And on a vehicle with a 5-Way flat the functions are the same...
view full answer... - Adding Trailer Wiring to a Motorcycle to Tow a TrailerMotorcycles have separate brake lights and turn signals. Most trailers, unless designed for use with a motorcycle, have combined turn signals and brake lights. You will need to convert the separate signals on the bike to match what the trailer requires. To do this you will need a converter like # 119178. On this harness you will connect the white to ground, green to the left turn signal, yellow to the right turn signal, and red to the brake lights. Brown is the running lights. If it is...

This will install inline with the 7-way and give you a 5-way that has the reverse light circuit you are wanting.
