HOPPY Trailer Hitch Wiring Harness

[latinoguy]

I need to install one in my truck. Is this an easy DIY or should I hire the services of Uhaul, a mechanic etc.

Linky to a DIY. Any tips?

I already bought the wiring harness. My truck is a 97.

If the install requires an outside mechanic, then it might be time to rethink owning a 14 year old truck

Drop the spare (if it's in the way) and figure it out...shouldn't be rocket science (there again, I'm not a rocket scientist, and assume you aren't either)...if you have LED taillights, then expect your cruise control to fail any time you use your signals to change lanes

LOL. I'm more mechanically inclined than electrical...

I will give it a shot. Sure somebody will still provide a DIY link for this.

thanks.

THe adaptor I bought went in the harness inside the fender behind the passenger side tail light. Wasn't much of a challenge, if I remember correctly. Might check there first...

The hoppy should be a plug and play to the truck's wiring harness inside the PS rear quarter panel. One wire over to the DS rear quarter panel and the connector out a hole down under the PS.

I just installed the same brand 3 months ago. It is very easy plug and play and even with the very old instructions mine had it was simple drop the spare and have fun.
