works really well if you have a socket not working look inside 2 of mine the bottom pin was bent down just gave it a slight bend up worked great.

Frequently looses connection with 12v socket, un-useable, returned
Terrible for a motorcyle (wasn't a bumpy ride)
Whenever I looked down, the thing was off, I needed to jiggle/adjust it
It wasn't loose
It's not the socket, it works fine with other accessories
Dont know if I received a particularly bad uniot or? but already spent too much time with such a simple item, don't want a replacement
Also only one of the ports in QC, noth both its not really clear from mfr or seller desc, but one of the Q&A mentions

I had a problem with this wire. It would break if I made a bend or kinked the wire even slightly. I have worked with all types and gauges of wire over the years as I have been a automotive tech for 30 years I have never seen wire that would act like this. It was a pain becareful if you cut a section solder it in then go to strip and solder the other end you better make sure you allow some extra to allow for it breaking, strange, I will not buy this wire again vintage style or not I can't imagine the original vintage acting like this.

I had that problem too. Open it with a Phillips screw driver and check the wiring on the motor. One of wires broke off on mine and I just soldered it back on. Now it works great.

Might have got a defective unit, but mine broke the first time I tightened the mounting bolt.

Both socket and relay are for Absolute.  The socket caused one pin to bend slightly to fit in the slot (see left most pin in the first pic) - still  was able to get them together and is functional but I was surprised at this issue.

The terminal coming out coil was broke when I took it out of the box. I had to mix two part epoxy and pour it on the male terminal before I could even use it. That what you get when you try to save a few dollars by not buying an OEM replacement part. After repairing a brand new part that came damaged, I installed it and it worked. It was shipped 4/20/2015 and I recieved it 5/09/2015. I emailed my concerns and never heard any thing from any one.

Quality similar to the socket being replaced, except it isn't equipped with a set screw  to lock the  socket from turning on the  threaded mounting base....

I bought this thinking it would be more reliable that making one myself.  Not the case unfortunately.  The 12V and brake lead were swapped (potentially dangerous).  The left break and tail lights were not connected, leaving ground and right brake connected correctly.  The quality of the parts is fine but it was assembled by someone that doesn't care and Hopkins appear to have zero quality control.  If you do buy this check and fix the connections before attaching it to the vehicle and it should be fine.

This may be a freak accident but I had a bad solder joint in mine and even though its put together with rivets and took it apart and had to come up with my own means of putting it back together.  some sold was sticking out too far contacting the larger contacts,  this sent power back to the plunger in the solenoid and caused it to "latch" so the solenoid wouldn't let go of the contacts sending constant power to the starter...basically when I started it it would just keep starting until I unhooked the battery.  Had to re-solder the connection inside and tuck it away from the part it was contacting

Ok so the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees are notorious for having issues with the tail lights/housing/sockets etc. One day they are working and the next day you are pulled over for a bulb that is out but was previously fine. You fiddle with the connectors, bent the bulb socket tabs out, replace the bulb etc etc and now it's working again -- until it isn't. If this sounds familiar consider replacing this part. Unfortunately you can't just pop this piece out to look under it and see if there is a connection issue. There is a rubberized seal made of butyl or silicone that you need to use a heatgun or hair dryer to remove. In my case when I removed the tail light there was a few little plastic tabs rattling around inside the housing (later on that in my photo) After ungluing the seal and removing the insane amount of adhesive I inspected the back of the circuit board. The little plastic tabs that hold the metal contacts seated and in place were busted off. They are very thin so bumps, vibrations and heat would easily knock them loose over time. Run a bead of silicone on the inside lip of the part and then re-install. Be mindful to line the holes up on the correct side. The replacement part fit almost perfect with the exception of one tab. This tab just did not line up perfectly. I needed to heat it with the heat gun to coerce it into place. Then a nice bead of silicone around the outside edge just to prevent any water that shouldn't be in there. I don't feel like doing this again anytime soon so better be safe than sorry.

Photo: In the photo I have uploaded the red circles by my finger had broken tabs while the one in the upper right still had the little mushroomed end holding the metal contacts in place.

This thing works alright, the socket parts are fine but the first time I used the phillips screwdriver part the tip broke off rendering it useless.

The one I got was not working at all. The fuse was burn out, and the fuse holder was broken. Maybe I was just not lucky.
