Installing Trailer Wiring Harness In 2007 Toyota Corolla

- In this DIY video I show how to wired in a Reese converter box to convert from 5 wires on the car (due to separate brake lights and turn signals) to 4 wires on the trailer (due to trailers having combined brak and turn signal filaments/bulbs).
Note: at the point in the video where I was using the tester, it properly shows the signals flashing but I must not have been pressing the brake properly since the tester in the video did not show brake lights when the audio says "you should now see both brake and signal". After viewing the video, i went back and checked and it works properly. Also, it works properly when connected to the trailer which is what counts ;)
Only video I found that shows how to make separate brake and running light wires (from vehicle) work with standard 4 prong trailer harness.
Thanks ! 👍🏼👍🏼
9 years later. I'm just here to say THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
You're very welcome!
Dude you gave the best info on the bolts m12x 1.25 it was perfect.
Glad to help you. This is the whole point of my channel.
thank you! every other trailer wire video is about attaching lights to the trailer, not the car. you just clued me in to that wire adapter box and that's absolutely they key that I need to know!! thank you
You are welcome!
I know this is an older video, but just came across it, going to put a wiring harness on 2006 yaris, this should help a lot thanks for posting!!
I'm super glad that the video will help you out. Thanks for posting
I’m glad I don’t have to think when doing this installation. You made it too easy. Thanks for your help. You rock
exactly what i was looking for - thanks
About to do this. thank you for making going through the proper connections. This will save me so much time
Straight to the point no fuzz really helpfull for old toyota owners and in general. Thanks a lot !
hello, thank you for this very helpful video. It was a little hard to determine the 2nd and 3rd wire that you were pointing to (green/white) and (Green/black). My first attempt didnt work but I think that I did not do a good job with the wires and the T-connectors. Thanks again
Nice engineering ring... thanks for the help
Thank you. This has been very helpful and informative.
Thank you
I had to chase my threads with a tap too, but mine were m10x1.25, not m12 like he says in the video for his car.
Green to green with yellow wire (RT)
RED. to green w/ white stripe. (STOP)
Yellow wire to green w/ black stripe (LT)
Brown w/white stripe to green car (taillight)
EXACTLY
I watched this vid several times dragging my knuckles around while I rapped my fat head around it
Great video thanks man
THANK YOU.
Hi ive got a wiring harness here wich has to wires with fuses that need to be wired in to a constant power would you happen to know weres best todo this thanks
Where does the wire come out of the car to mate with the trainer lights? The video helped me tremendously. Thanks for posting. What's that clicking?
you could put in under the bumper where it meets the hitch
fuckin good job. thanks for sharing
Does your hitch scrape when getting out from a driveway or something that would scrape the hitch
It happened one time in 2 years when I went off road
good job where did you get the blue connectors ???
I purchased the crimp on connectors at a local electronics store. They are cheap and very handy.
5 to 4? I've never heard of it. So (after reading your comments in the description) you're saying that the brake and turn lights use the same filaments? How does that work then, if you're slowing down to make a right turn, then your right hand brake light will flash completely on and off, is that how it works? Thanks.
I have since sold the car and made the video years ago but yes, what i remember is there is a different filament for brake and turn signal in newer cars but not for trailers (common filament). Therefore you need the electronic module to handle the conversion.
Thanks for the great informative video but the next time, use a camera person who doesn't play with a clicker while filming. Very annoying.
It was. The video was good but the clicking made me want to throw my phone.
Next time you film

You only hook up that 4 pin wiring harness at one side of the brake light? not both.
Correct. If you think of it you only need to give the trailer light module 1 brake signal since both brake lights are either on or off. Newer vehicles may have another configuration.
@@mrdiyguy123 My 93 camry has two wires for the brakes. One goes to the center of the bulb base, the other one goes into the bulb thru the edge of the bulb base. Which one do I have to connect to it?
@@mabast007 hi. The one to the center of the bulb is the bake light "activation" or hot wire. That is the wire containing brake on/off signal. The wire going to the base of the socket is the common/neutral wire.
@@mrdiyguy123 Thank you for your replies, but I went ahead and took the car to a shop and now everything is good.
Hi I got a question how many inch is the hitch ground clearance thanks.
8"
Dont haul to heavy you will kill the tranny an brakes.?
Thank you for the video! I saw you put both right-turn and left -turn signals on your left side. Is that the right way to do it?
@3:29 I show the right signal wire location. Unlike all other connections discussed after that point which connect near the left side light bulbs, the right signal wire connects to the wire harness.
what are those splicing clips you used? the ones at autozone aren't working for me. I tried about 8 times and only one of them made a connection.

2010 has different colors. Any one have info for the 09-10 Carolla.
you get this figured out? in in the same boat
Pull carpet back till you find the main wire harness then use a test light and probe each wire..So you probe a wire with the left blinker on when the test light starts to blink with the blinker you found that wire same with the brake the running lights and the right blinker
where can i buy one like this??
Try any trailer dealer or auto parts store
camera jumps around too much. getting dizzy.
Looking for something not found
I don’t have time to figure all that out
then you have no patience or willpower when this guy is giving you step by step instructions how its done..
wow

Man... Nice try but next time do NOT put the kids shooting what you wanna show, just because you wanto to show yourself needing a Nice haircut with a ridiculous cap, instead of a nice automotive electrician job ! (neither like nor deslike)
Thanks!
