Hello friends!

We're leaving the state on Thursday, and I need to get a trailer light adapter for our 2000 Rover. It came from the factory with this hook-up, and nobody I've showed it to has ever seen it (including the folks at Autozone).

I either need to have one overnighted today, or find a place locally that has one. In my search, knowing the name of this connection type would be a huge help.

Any ideas, friends?

THANKS!

I was not able to find one locally either. I had to order it. If you call, he may overnight you one(note they dont open 'til noon EST). Trevor is a pretty swell guy.

 

go to U-Haul or Ryder rentals......the bigger stores usually stock them..or will have something to replace it

 

folks at autozone never know anything.

 

Get a hold of Millbrook trailers on 68th St and US131, that is a trailer light plug, also here in Grandville there is Grandville Trailer on 28th St and Ivanrest, Hitches by George on Division, or any of the RV shops on S. Division, all you need is a adapter, it is NOT Rover specific.
You need to go from a 7-round to a flat-4 plug, start calling, they will have it local.

 

nobody you've showed it to has seen a standard american 7-pin connector? where do you live?

btw, i think they're called 12 N type plugs

 

Mine had HELLA stamped on it. Try them. I got rid of mine and put a flat-4 pin on instead.

 

You dont' even have to get rid of it. Just splice the flat 4 in to the wires coming in to the round 7 pin or buy the adapter. Then you can hook up to both set ups. That's what I did. My flat 4 is spliced. Just make sure you get the right wires spliced together. Also AutZone doesn't know what they are talking about. Last time I was in for trailer wiring (been a couple years though) they even had both the adapter and flat 4 harness. Good luck.

 

I had the adapter and it didn't work. Went with the flat 4 and it works great and I can haul trailers that aren't mine. And I agree Autozone hire average joes off the street that don't know crap or they are bad back-yard mechanics. Just my expierience. My advice, read, read, read. You can learn a lot by reading these forums and the manual for your vehicle.
