Hopkins Plug-In Simple 43805 T Connector Wiring Kit For Hyundai Santa Fe '01-06 Review

Hopkins Plug-In Simple 43805 T Connector Wiring Kit For Hyundai Santa Fe '01-06

Kit truly "Plug and Play". About an hour to install with hardest part being that of gaining access to factory wiring plugs behind fender well interior covers. I simply routed trailer plug wiring tailpiece under cargo area carpeting and store it in compartment underneath when not in use. I allow it hang out under tailgate when plugged in for towing since I don't tow a trailer all that often. It's a good quality kit that installs and functions as adverstised.

Curt Manufacturing 57184 4-Way Flat To 7-Way Rv Round Car End Packaged Plastic Review

For the price, I am not terribly disappointed with this 7-Way outlet. It works. However, the wiring instructions could have been included to make it easier to wire it up. There was an extra wire that we had trouble explaining at first, and probably could have avoided hassle if it was clearly identified.
When we wired up the 7-Way, we noticed some bleed-over/insignificant short in the outlet. Based on the levels we were seeing, we just assumed it is the normal shorts that are present in any vehicle. However, after replacing the battery on my truck, I am starting to wonder if the outlet itself has a short because my brake controller now thinks the trailer is connected all the time, even when it is not.
I am not disappointed with this 7-Way outlet -- it does work. I suppose I expected a little better quality, a little better documentation, and no bleed-over between the lines. If I end up replacing this one, I will probably go ahead and get a Reese outlet since it is about the same price anyway.

Valley 30133 Fifth Wheel Gooseneck Wire Harness Review

Valley 30133 Fifth Wheel Gooseneck Wire Harness
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ordered this harness not really knowing what to expect as the description was a little vague. Ended up being one of the easiest installs I have ever done. Simply unplug your existing factory harness at the 7 plug at your rear bumper and plug the two plugs (one male, one female) of the new harness into the factory plugs, then route the harness up to your desired plug location for your fifth wheel or gooseneck. drill your hole for your new 7 plug, plug it into the harness then use the screws (sent with the kit) to mount the new 7 plug to your bed. doesn't get much easier than that. It took me about 30 minutes to complete and I was in no hurry. Hope this helps someone. Enjoy!

Hopkins Plug-In Simple 43405 T Connector Wiring Kit For Toyota Land Cruiser, '91-98; Lexus Lx450, '96-98 Review

A well-made product which out-performs the factory-specified harness. Higher quality fittings that plug right into the Toyota stock wiring plugs. It took me all of 30 minutes from start to finish, including unscrewing a chrome strip that runs across my 97 Toyota Land Cruiser to run a wire to the left side of the car. Zero guesswork needed, but some agility is definitely required to unplug the exisiting harness, plug in the new trailer harness, and replug in the car's wiring harness. The service ordering the part was faster than advertised or expected.

Valley Tow 30127 T-Connector Review

Valley Tow 30127 T-Connector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ordered and installed this on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma, this is the wiring connector kit recommended by Valley for this specific vehicle. This is a plug and play product. The T connectors worked perfectly with the connectors used by Toyota on the rear lights. Steps: 1. Undo top and bottom bolts inside the tailgate, the ones with no washer. 2. The tail light is now loose, but still connected with 2 straight push-in plastic pins. Pull the light straight back to unclick the two pins and the light is loose in your hands, but still connected to the wiring. 3. Use a small screw driver to press the tab on the existing connector down and separate the connector pieces. 4. Click the existing wiring connector to the new wiring connectors. 5. On the driver's side tail-light, there is an additional ground wire that needs to be screwed into the sheet metal behind the light. If you confuse this and put the ground wire on the passenger side, then your blinkers will be reversed on the trailer;so be sure to put the ground wire on the driver's side. 6. Tuck all wires behind the tail-light and line up the pins and push the tail-light back into "click" position 7. Insert the bolts removed step 1 and re-tighten. 8. Get under truck and cable-tie loose wires up to the frame or other existing wires for support. 9. Stick the modulator box to inside of bumper with double stick tape provided but be sure to cable tie it in place as well in case the double stick comes loose. Done - in maybe 20 minutes. Note: I also used some split cable tubing I had to protect the wiring around the metal edge as it comes out of the bottom of the tail-light area.
Amazon packing and shipping was excellent.

I'm sure the product itself would work as advertised. The problem is that the little thing that Amazon puts on the items page to verify it would fit on your vehicle is wrong. It does not in fact work for a 2002 Jeep Liberty. I really wish it would have worked because the only other thing I could find to fit my vehicle cost over $50 after shipping. This one was only $20 with shipping. If it will work for your vehicle it's a great deal.

The quality and construction of this adapter is outstanding. I liked the fact that it contained two adapters in one. I needed the 4 flat plug but I would like to have the RV adapter for the future. The one concern I had was that it would come out on a long drive, a problem a friend had, but it did not. Overall I would recommend this product to all of my friends with GM trucks.

Hopkins Plug-In Simple 42475 T Connector Wiring Kit Review

Hopkins Plug-In Simple 42475 T Connector Wiring Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There is no cargo strap hook or screw to hold it on a 2005 Liberty Sport as specified in step 2 of the instructions, and the strap hooks on the cargo floor that hold the carpet down are riveted in. The simple answer is to just skip step 2 for a 2005 Liberty Sport and everything else is correct, and you don't have to remove the riveted-in strap hooks, but I got confused and didn't want to damage my Liberty so I gave up too soon. I left negative feedback on amazon.com and emailed my frustration to Support at Hopkins. They immediately emailed back that I should look again, which I did, and I removed the negative feedback because they were willing to work with me. The short version is that everything worked out fine. I installed it today, it was easy, and it works great. Hopefully, they will tweak their instructions but, bottom line, I had trouble and they came through. Another point not mentioned in the instructions: You can push the trailer end of the wiring through the access grommet and then press the cap that fills the grommet hole back down on top of the wiring to seal off the cargo area. Now I can honestly say that I have always used Hopkins wiring kits, and I have always been pleased. (Thanks, Frank.)

The product arrived quickly and had ample instructions inside the package. It appeared well constructed. The instructions could have been more specific as to how to locate the factory plug in harness.This was not an easy installation as the instructions stated. It took almost 4 hours for two guys to get it installed. 3/4 of the rear interior had to be removed and there was no passage way to lead the plug out side of the car to the hitch area. We had to cut the harness pass it throught a hole in a rubber grommet behind the bumper and then resolder the 4 wires and hope for the best. It all worked fine in the end.

Hopkins 43415 Plug-In Simple Wiring Kit for Toyota 4Runner 1996-2002 Review

Average Reviews:

When the factory installed converter in my '00 4Runner failed and the local Toyota dealer told me the replacement would cost $200, my search for an aftermarket converter led me to this part.
Installation was simple, and the only "extra" I needed for the installation was a cable tie to secure the box inside the rear fender. All the connectors mated perfectly to the existing connectors in the car, and the converter worked as advertised and as expected.
Interestingly, my factory converter was installed on the left side of the car, and this Hoppy converter installs on the right side. As a result, you really can't reuse any of the factory wires-you have to route one new wire under the rear carpet and the new plug wire has to snaked from the hitch up into the fender - all very straightforward.

Installed plug-in kit for a Durango. Easy install, needed extra tie-wraps to bundle wires & control box together to fit in taillight & tie up wires across back of vehicle. Everything just pluged in, make sure you push red locking tap on taillight connector over and press down on black tab and pry apart (hardest part of the job was getting them apart) took about 15 minutes to install.

This harness was very simple to install, just make sure you find a good place the ground wire. I didn't ground it well at first and had to spend time troubleshooting as I couldnt get my blinkers and brake lights working.

Curt Manufacturing 58140 7 Pole Plastic Connector, Trailer End, Bulk Review

Curt Manufacturing 58140 7 Pole Plastic Connector, Trailer End, Bulk
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't give this thing 5 stars because I've had so many problems with these things going bad due to probably just be cheaply made and from China. This did fix my problem and seemed nicer than the one I replaced it with. I know another reviewer said that the wiring diagram was wrong and I can't say if it was or not. I don't even think they came with instructions since they were bulk but I just wired it up the same way as the one that I took off. I have seen before though that wiring diagrams have been different before on things because sometimes the wiring could be different from the manufacturer or somebody did the wiring themselves. Just wire it up the way it came off, download some wiring diagrams and compare them, look on the back of a factory truck plug(ie:Ford) and wire it that way or if all else fails, get you a test light and figure it out one at a time. These are at a good price so if you need one, buy two so you'll have a spare.

The wires are wrapped in old style friction tape which is certain to become stickey on the outside after hours in a hot car. I'm surprised that they didn't use a plastic sleeve or plastic spiral wrap instead of friction tape. Very poor construction.

Since the WJ model of the Grand Cherokee is pre-wired for trailer harnesses this item is an excellent choice if you don't want to special order the factory harness. No splicing just plug it in and run the wire. Unit can be hard to find locally and even online, so I was happy to see availability thru Amazon.
