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 in 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 kit is perfect, came with everything I needed plus some. The only thing I did different was instead of running a new line back to the battery, I jumped off to the cigarette lighter right next to the rear compartment and put a 1 amp fuse on. My lights are LED so the draw is nothing. Saved a lot of time having to run that wire.

Fit perfectly, one man install, paint holding up fine, the reciever is properly sized. Would highly recommend.

install was straightforward, instructions precise and after a year still working fine.
by: Gruntleader06/08/2024
This is the second one of these I’ve purchased and installed. It’s a great kit except for two things:
1) the power wire that runs to the front is just barely long enough to get there. I think an extra 3-6 inches would be nice.
2) the sticky tape that holds the light unit to the chassis never works. A second self-tapping screw would be nice. I just used a zip tie to hold it in place.
Custom fit and well worth it.
by: Daniel10/28/2022
This worked out great! I absolutely love that they provide a video of how to install it and shows what you need, need to do, and what you'll run into. I had to get creative in making sure the wire that runs from the back to the engine battery was going along a good path that might not get road damage. The rear lights were easy to come off and connect to. The interior panel was easy to take off as well to run the wire underneath. I like that the wire is stored away in the panel door and gets pulled out only when needed to be used because it easily hangs out the back door without any issue.

Installation of the hitch, wiring,rear bike rack, and new roof rack towers went well. I didn't set any speed records, but I was more concerned with doing no damage on a new 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD van. The hitch fit up well per instructions except that I was able to work around the exhaust without lowering it. Underbody panel and rear fascia did both need to be removed. Very happy with the end result. The new van is now set up to haul the bikes and canoes and move my log splitter.

I ordered a hitch and the wiring for my new 2015 sienna minivan. The parts came quicker than I could have hoped for. The video instructions made the installation easy, especially since my van was a week old and I really didn't want to mess it up. I have been using the van to tow with for a year now without any troubles. Thanks Etrailer!

Very easy to install. Total wiring time = 45 min. I did not take apart the rear panel by the driver side taillight to run the wire harness. It was a little difficult to fish through due to the size of the connections.

Easy to install. Works great.
by: Greg06/04/2021
Quality and fitment of products was excellent. Highly recommend install videos on etrailer. The shipping time was very slow. I had some items price matched and that delayed processing a week or more.I provided all links to competitor's products. Very close to month before I received product (it was in stock). That is why I didn't give it an excellent rating.

I guess the packing method is "throw it in a box and hope it gets there. Hopefully etrailer packaging/shipping sees this review and can add the $3 in styrofoam to protect the hitch from going through the box.

Easy installation in the jack storage area. Found a open spot to run power wire throught a harnes grommet so I could run power back to the converter inside and under trim

2019 Toyota Sienna
Install was easy, I watched the instruction video about 3 times and kept it up on my phone to verify my connections when it was time. I had the job complete including all cleanup and mounting the electrical connection to the hitch in about 2/12 hours. I took my time to verify no damage was done to our new sienna.
by: Scott05/12/2023
I have not had a moment to install my hitch and harness, however as with many others apparently, the box arrived opened and the hitch had ZERO packing materials...just a big empty box for the hitch to bounce around. I do see some scrapes and scratches, but nothing that I would return it for. etrailer would be wise to review the comment section and revise how they send their product.

Works well. I ran it through the interior of the car instead of under the chassis. Since I don't have a lift; that was a better option.

2018 Toyota Sienna XLE. The wiring harness blows my fuse or other wise makes my turn signals not function properly; I've tried connecting them four times and they keep malfunctioning. So I have to keep them disconnected at the tail light assembly. The brake lights work fine.

Is this occurring with a trailer plugged in? There could possibly be a short in your trailer wiring causing fuses to blow. Ill link to a troubleshooting article that will provide some direction for you. If this occurs when the trailer isnt plugged in, you might have a faulty harness that needs replacement. If thats the case, get back with us and well help further.

Superb. I cannot imagine going elsewhere for hitches and accessories. Since I am not too handy I find the videos invaluable as a source of techniques and tips. The kit contained everything necessary for the installation except basic tools. The trailer lights worked first time so what more need be said. I needed the trailer in a hurry but I did not have a way to lift the van so I could only do a temporary job of running the hot lead forward to the battery, with the plan to have my regular auto mechanic redo it correctly asap. You will have to lift the van somehow to do a thorough job of securing that long lead. I wish I had bought dielectric grease, extra double sided tape and extra connectors.

After one year it still works perfectly and I am fully satisfied. Great product and service from eTrailer.
by: David09/04/2018
2017 Toyota Sienna
Easy to install. I did not run a wire up to the battery/fuse block. I installed a cigarette plug on the wire and used the power point near the tailgate. I keep the cigarette plug and trailer plug wires in the jack storage area. I rarely use the trailer lights as my hitch is mostly used for bike racks and a hitch basket.
Shipping was fast.

Drawing the power directly from the battery serves to isolate the tow vehicles sensitive electronics from any short circuits that might occur in the trailer wiring. Connecting the converters power feed anywhere other than the battery or where the converters manufacturer recommends can leave your vehicles electrical system exposed to possible damage, and will also unfortunately void any warranty coverage.

I installed the wiring myself on my Toyota sienna. I did not have a problem with any part of the installation. It took a while but at the same time I was working slowly to make sure I did it right and I was just enjoying working on my van, seeing the under side when running the wiring up to the front. I used an actually fishing pole and stuck it into a hole in the engine compartment to fish it up to my battery. I installed the little dude box right there next to my battery. I had more then enough length of wires which I don't understand why some people complained about it being too long. I actually had about 3 feet left. I ran it under my van and up through the engine compartment to my battery. I was not very confusing to clip to the clip to the appropriate clip on the lights because of the shape. Making sure which side is which was a little confusing but just paying attention to what you are doing will make that an easy job. I'm glad I did it myself.

So far I havent had any problems at all. The fuse hasnt blown, the rain hasnt shorted it the circuit. They have worked everytime I hooked up the trailer. Its worked perfectly for me.

Got the wiring harness in the mail and got it installed the very same day. Easy to follow instructions and was designed for my vehicle. Was able to pick up the travel trailer the next day after installation.

- Recommended Wiring Harness for 2018 Toyota Sienna Limited Premium AWDFor your 2018 Toyota Sienna, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13105. This is a two inch hitch receiver that will allow you to tow up to your manufacturer's rated specs if 3,500 lbs. It also will allow the vast majority of hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you will be towing with this trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118648 which installs behind each tail light and draws power...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Toyota Sienna XLEI recommend using the Curt # C13343 which is a Class III hitch that offers a concealed cross tube for a clean looking installation that keeps the hitch mostly hidden. I really prefer the Curt hitches because of the durable powder coating they have which helps keep your hitch from getting dinged up and rusted over time. For wiring, I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118648 since we've found that the Tekonsha converter boxes tend to be a bit more reliable over time. This...

- Trailer Hitch for 2020 Toyota Sienna XLE without Tow PackageIf you are looking to have a hitch installed on your 2020 Toyota Sienna that would indicate that you don't have the factory tow package since that would have been included. For a hitch the mostly hidden Draw Tite # 76112 is a really great option that I would recommend highly. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118648 is an easy to install and very reliable option as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness that Fits 2020 Toyota SiennaYes, the Tekonsha 4-way kit part # 118648 that you referenced is the correct trailer wiring kit for your 2020 Toyota Sienna. This installs by plugging inline with the taillights like you can see in the attached install video.

- Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Toyota SiennaFor your 2018 Toyota Sienna the hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite part # 76112 which is a confirmed fit and would be the least visible option we have. It has higher towing capacities and a great price as well. Only the hitch opening will hang down below the rear bumper too which means it won't be super visible either. Check out the install video I attached for more info as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha # 118498 for if you have an SE model or part # 118648 if not....

For your '18 Sienna the correct parts are: - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118648 - Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 The # ETBC7 will give you the 7-way as well as the rest of the hardware...

This is to power the converter which protects your Sienna's factory wiring and also ensures that the vehicle wiring matches that of your trailer.

For your trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118648 unless you have the SE model in which case I recommend # 118498.

- Will Back Up Sensors on 2016 Toyota Sienna Need to Be Disabled When TowingActually, you really shouldn't need to do anything with the sensors because they'll only activate when the vehicle is in reverse.

It’s worked out great! It’s nice to be able to use the mini van for the smaller trailers. East install. I did not run the feed back to the battery. I installed a 3 amp fuse and went off the cigarette lighter port next to the tire jack. The trailer has LEDS and only used an amp.
