Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.
Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed within the jack storage compartment of your rear cargo area.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
ModuLite Powered Tail Light Converter
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module draws power directly from your car's battery and bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

The product is fine, shipping was very fast. Packaging was ripped and torn I am surprised that all parts were there.

The shipping take long time..I contacted the coustmer service and they will follow my item shipping personal but can't ship another one before one month from shipping the first.
Anyway after long time I received the item but the charged me xx.x$ handle and import fees when delivered while I was charged the shipping fees when I ordered..

2014 Toyota Sienna
Printed instructions were lacking but the etrailer video saved the day.
The black power wire that runs from the battery to the power module was about one foot too short. It would be better to be a foot too long, than short.
by: Tim 05/06/2024
Easy hookup with clear instructions.
by: Matt R.12/27/2023
Unfortunately, life got busy after ordering this receiver. It looked well designed, but once I installed it 18 months later, it didn't fit very well. Because we don't plan to use the full class III capacity, the 4 bolts that lined up should work.
by: Matt 12/08/2023
Fairly easy installation without the need for splicing or cutting wires. The kit also includes a ModuLite converter box that ensures your vehicle’s wiring matches that of your trailer 1

2014 Toyota Sienna
This is a great product. The wiring was thick and didn't feel like a cheap Chinese product. I'm happy with this wiring harness. I installed it on my 2014 Toyota Sienna. Even though the instruction video is not updated for the 2014, the instructions it came with contained a picture of the shroud and where to cut, which was the only difference (shroud size, only one cut needed on the 2014) between the 2014 Siennas and the ones from prior years.
You'll see in the picture attached, I purchased the loom to protect the wire. I would recommend doing the same.
The only thing that would have made more sense to me is if the box attached to the drivers side since that is where the battery is. There would be a lot less wire to route under the vehicle. Other than that, it worked on my first try and I'm happy with that! :)

It was easy to install and I like that it hides in the tire jack cubby.

Wiring Harness works as it should and not too difficult to install.

2013 Toyota Sienna
The hitch is solid/sturdy. It was easy to install. I use it frequently and have only had one consistent problem. Once attached to my 2013 Toyota Sienna, ground clearance is only 7 inches. See picture. Add the weight of my boat, and that clearance drops to 3 inches. I realize that most of that blame is owned by Toyota, but still, there's at lease another inch or so that could have been gained through improved design of the hitch. I had to add an Air Lift 1000 to bring it back to 7 inches clearance.
by: Dean 06/11/2023
One year later - absolutely no issues with the wiring harness. I followed all of the instructions and things went well. During the install I ran into an issue of the long wire that was going to the battery , was a bit short (despite following the directions ), but a short splice of a compatible wire has fixed the issue. No issues with connecting to my trailer harness. I have always added a touch of dielectric paste to keep the connections good and water out. Proper length - no issues with reaching. Works every time, no glitches. Very satisfied with this product.

2013 Toyota Sienna
Harness plugged right in, I had plenty of wire for the connection to the battery. I routed the trailer plug wire through the bumper support and slid it out the rear underbody panel.
by: JMS09/05/2023
The product worked well and was easy to install. However, the power wire that runs to the battery is about 6" too short. I was able to make it work, but barely. I nearly needed to extend it. If it were 6-12" longer it would have worked so much better.
However the instructions were easy to follow and I greatly appreciate the videos from eTrailer.
by: Michael 07/07/2023
I installed this myself. Took me maybe two hours. Its been a while but I believe I found a youtube video for wiring my specific car and just followed the directions. It worked the first time I rented a trailer and still works now more than a year later.

The hitch fit perfectly, looks great on the van and the wire harness installed easily. One suggestion before installation is watch the videos here on etrailer.com and it makes your installation easier!

So far it has been just fine good quality hitch . so far i have only used it for a cargo carrier worked great .

Worked great for our 2016 Toyota Sienna SE -- straightforward install, especially if you've done anything like this before. E-trailer's video install demos make it a snap. A great value - happy to recommend it to others.

Plenty of heavy gauge wire to complete installation.
Good instructions.

Haven't installed yet but quality looks great as usual.
by: Eric 03/14/2023
The wiring harness was very easy to install. The hardest part was running the power wire up to the battery but I was able to find a safe path along the frame. The rest of the unit tucked nicely in the spare tire area and the wires run under the carpet so it's not seen day to day.

Horrible customer service! Next to comcast this is the most frustrating company I have ever had to deal with. They sent me the wrong part 2 times. I even contacted the manufacturer to confirm they were sending me the wrong part and etrailer still don’t seem to understand their error. I have communicated with no less than 8 different people and still don’t have the right part. I am sure they will want to charge me a classy “restocking fee” when I have been waiting on them for weeks. If anyone actually cared this would have been an easy fix. You are better off shopping elsewhere…

I am very sorry that we have not been able to provide the harness that will work for you. I wanted to let you know that there not would be a restocking fee charge for sending back the harness. You would receive a full credit for it.

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2018 Toyota Sienna with All-Wheel DriveYes, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76112 will fit your all-wheel drive 2018 Toyota Sienna. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right...

Then you will use the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to add a 7-way and connections for your brake controller which is required for your trailer brake function. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your brake controller because it is a proportional controller that will apply the trailer brakes at the...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Toyota Sienna for Ground ClearanceThe trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Toyota Sienna is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76112 because if you plan on towing, this hitch is rated for weight distribution and the similar hitches are not. When we test fit the Draw-Tite Hitch # 76112, Curt Hitch # C13343, etrailer.com Hitch # E98853 and EcoHitch # 306-X7255 on a 2019 Toyota Sienna we found that each of them have 13 inches of ground clearance, and with the exception of the EcoHitch, have a 525 lb tongue weight capacity (the...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch, 7-way Connector, and Trailer Brake Controller For 2013 Toyota SiennaI would be happy to make a recommendation for you! Starting with the trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75237 as it has the highest capacities of all of the trailer hitches available for your 2013 Toyota Sienna at 675lb tongue weight and 4500lb trailer weight making it a great option for towing a trailer. For adding a 7-way connector you will first need to install a 4-way connector using the Tekonsha T-One # 118498, and then adding the...
view full answer... - Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Toyota Sienna XLEIt seems that you have the wrong wiring kit. From the 2015 model year up to the 2021, the Tekonsha # 118498 is only a fit for SE models of the Toyota Sienna which used different taillight assemblies than the other models. For models other than the SE, you'll use # 118648. I've provided a photo showing the differences in the connectors. There isn't an adapter kit, unfortunately. You'll need to install the proper harness kit. I've linked to an install video for the # 118648.

- Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2012 Toyota Sienna XLEThe Hopkins # HM11143495 that we have available for a 2012 Toyota Sienna is designed only to fit the SE (Sport Edition), so I will need to steer you in a different direction, unfortunately. For your XLE (Executive Luxury Edition), I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498. This will need one wire run up to the battery for needed power, but other than that it will be a relatively quick plug and play option. I have found Tekonsha wiring harnesses to be the...

If you are getting the hitch to do any towing, the correct 4-way wiring harness to power...

For trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118648 if you have a non-SE model or part # 118498 for if you do have an SE model. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch With Maximum Ground Clearance for 2015 Toyota SiennaThe presence of the rear bumper would interfere with a hitch passing through it, all the hitches we offer are designed so that the receiver tube sits below the rear bumper. I'm not aware of any hitch that would mount through the bumper, as it would require extensive fabrication work on the vehicle which would likely compromise the rear safety of the vehicle in a collision. The option we offer with the best ground clearance would be the Curt Class III # C13343 which would offer about 9-1/2...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Sienna, Curt or Tow ReadyFor your 2013 Toyota Sienna we have two options for trailer wiring harnesses. They are both basically the same thing just made by two different companies. Since we seem to have better luck with the Tow Ready brand I would recommend the part # 118498 over the Curt # C56106. I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - What Trailer Wiring 4-Way Harnesses Fit a 2016 Toyota SiennaIf the 2016 Toyota Sienna happen to be an SE model then yes, the trailer wiring from a 2012 like the part # 118498 would also fit it. If it's not an SE model you would need to go with the part # 118648. I attached install videos for both harnesses as well.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wiring Harness be Connected to 12 Volt Power Outlet Instead of Battery on Toyota SiennaThe 4- to 7-Way adapter # 37185 will need to have the 4-Way plugged into it and the white wire grounded to the frame of the vehicle. The other wires (black for 12 volt power, blue for electric trailer brakes, and purple for reverse lights) don't have to be connected if all you want are the trailer lights to function. If you did want all of those functions to work I recommend # ETBC7 because it comes with the wiring and accessories needed to wire it all up so it is fully functional and so...
view full answer... - Which Trailer Wiring Harness is Better for a 2013 Toyota Sienna, Tekonsha or CurtI do have the correct trailer wiring harness for your vehicle but neither the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55376 or the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118648 are a confirmed fit for a 2013 Toyota Sienna. Instead you will want to use either part # 118498 for Tekonsha or part # C56106 for Curt. I recommend going with the Tekonsha wiring harness as over the years we have heard much better things about the reliability and longevity of their wiring products compared...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and 4-Way on 2013 Toyota SiennaWe have just what you'll need. You will need to start with a 4-way confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Toyota Sienna like the T-One kit part # 118498. Then to convert it to a 7-way and still allow you a 4-way connection all you'd need is the part # 37185. The 4-way of the T-one would simply plug in to this and you'd a 7-way connection with a 4-way connector available as well. I attached an install video for the 4-way for you to check out as well.

I do recommend checking your owners manual to see what your towing capacity is on the All-Wheel-Drive model before towing anything, but this hitch comes with at 3500 lbs. GTW capacity. It also has a 525 lbs TW capacity for hitch mounted accessories. If you do plan on towing I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118648...

We have a combination that will work well for hooking up your trailer to your 2014 Toyota Sienna. First up: the hitch. We actually have an etrailer hitch designed for the 2014 Sienna. It's the Class III, 2" hitch, part # e98853. It has a maximum tongue weight of 525 pounds and trailer weight of 3500 pounds, so it should be able to carry your boat trailer with...

I attached an install video that would walk you through that entire process which really isn't too bad. It more or less comes down to just avoiding moving parts and hot components. I am sure running the wiring through the interior is possible but we don't have a way to really recommend that.

This harness is a direct plug-in-play option with no splicing required. It has a 4-way/4-pole flat connector which is the most commonly used. If you don't already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13343.

Its been a year already? Wow! Since I dont have a truck, I use my minivan and aluminum trailer frequently. I have no regrets buying this wire harness and would buy again.
