Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring

  • 4 Flat
  • Powered Converter
  • Tekonsha

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection points in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 5 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in the rear cargo area. You will have to remove the rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering and partially remove the rear interior trim panels 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 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 Power Module

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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 last time I wired a vehicle was 25 years ago, nightmare on Elm. To this kit, what a difference, everything I needed was in this kit, fantastic!! And, most of all, thank you, very much!! Took me 20 minutes to wire everything, read the directions and watch your video's. Best tool yet, thank you again.

Easy to install and the stay on when in use.



by:

This wiring harness fit our 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid perfectly! The online video demonstrates the installation. Big thank you to etrailer.com for supplying all the parts needed to install a complete hitch assembly including a hitch, wiring harness and mounting bracket for the harness plug.

Excellent product & fit



by:

Great instructional video, quality part - what’s not to like?



by:

Good price. Have not installed yet. Was emailed and told that it will not come for a few more weeks but it arrived on time.



by:

This item was back ordered till 11/22/23 , this is totally unacceptable had to demand a refund on 8/30/23 Wish this transaction went a lot smoother. Ordered one from auto zone and will ship to my residence on 9/1/23

Very easy to install

2020 Ford Escape

The video on the install was spot on for my 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid SE. Only issues I had were cleaning up the goop from under the door weather seal that got spread along a bit after I peeled it back. A roll of paper towels and a few shots of WD40 loosened it up and got it off. I don't use the towing set up that much so I left the wires inside the car rather than mount the connector outside. Passed all tests with my tester and on the trailer. Thanks for the great products and videos!



by:

This wiring harness works perfectly and is very easy to install. I had ordered the C95FR which was a product made by Curt (#56432) and on there site said it was the right harness for the 2020 Escape and did not work. etrailer exchanged the part thinking it may have been bad with no questions. That one did not work either so I ordered the TE54FR which is the correct harness for my car. etrailer was great to work with and I will order from them on future needs. There video is accurate and you do not have to pull the tail lights on the 2020 escape like on all the proceeding models.



by:

Awesome product. No disappointment here.



by:

The combination of finding the correct part as well as the very detailed and informative video made installation so easy on this that I didn’t need to read the instructions.



by:

Super kit! It's well thought out and easy to install.



by:

Looks well made, just not enough ambition to install it



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Easy plug and play harness. However, the instructional video should include wiring to a traditional Escape. Not just a hybrid, which the battery is in the back of the car, easy peasy to get to. The traditional gas powered car is more involved to get wired to the front of the vehicle. At least give pointers.



by:
Ford Escape

Everything needed for our 2020 Ford Escape. All the connections were strait forward and and worked directly. You do need to open up some of that back inside paneling but that's were the connections are so you have to do what you need to do. It wasn't hard on the Escape. The instructions were accurate and clear.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Wiring harness was a simple plug in fit for my 2020 Ford Escape. Interior panels easily popped open to access all the connection locations.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

The kit installed smoothly and worked on the first test. I couldn't find a You Tube video for a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid installation but the supplied printed instructions were clear and told me what I needed to know.



by:

Instructions were clear and detailed. The wiring has worked flawlessly. It may take a little time to install, but the finished product is neat and out-of-the-way. It looks as good as a factory install!



by:
2020 Ford Escape

I put this on my 2020 ford escape. The only slight issue I ran into was running the power wire to the battery. The video shows it being installed on a titanium version with the battery in the back. Lower models have the battery upfront with several different firewall grommets.



by:

Great fit, quick shipping, excellent video for following along and doing the install. Tons of length for the harness, very impressed.



by:

Ordered 06/01/20 - Shipped 06/02/2020 - Arrived 06/05/2020 -
Installed 06/05/2020 (had a professional install) - Have not used it yet but look it looks good from the back of the car. I like the little device connector next to the receiver.



by:

Looks good



by:

Works well. Fits well. My battery was all the way in the front so I wired it to a cigarette outlet that was in the back and it works great



by:

Great product, worked exactly as hoped for my car.

Service was fast but I hate to pay for shipping

  • Hitch Receiver for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    I just confirmed with Curt. Depending on which model of hybrid your 2022 Ford Escape is the Curt item # C23FR will fit. The hitch will fit the standard hybrid models, but it will not fit the PHEV, or plug-in models. I have linked an installation video. If you need a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TE54FR.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    For your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid we have the etrailer hitch part # e89YR as a confirmed fit which is a really great option. It's mostly hidden and has great towing capacities as well. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which allows it to be mostly hidden and this also helps with ground clearance. If you need trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR is an easy fit and has a very reliable converter box.

  • Trailer Hitch with Higher Towing Capacity for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Having a higher rated trailer hitch for your 2020 Ford Escape than what you'd end up needing won't negatively affect anything. The Curt Hitch part # C23FR is a fit for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid and would be a great solution even though it has more weight capacity than you'd need. What ends up happening is that the trailer hitch manufacturers design the hitch to fit the vehicle and then reinforce it to be as strong as possible and then independently rate it away from the vehicle it fits...

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Way Wiring for 2020 Ford Escape SE
    For a hitch for your 2020 Ford Escape SE the etrailer part # e89YR is a confirmed fit. It's easier to install, mostly hidden and has great towing capacities. Then for trailer wiring the best option is the Tekonsha part # TE54FR which is the easiest to install and most reliable. It's not a plug and play style per se but installs without splicing by plugging inline with the taillight connectors of the vehicle.

  • Which Trailer Hitch Fits My 2022 Ford Escape
    You are correct. # e89YR is 100 percent confirmed for you 2022 Ford Escape. I also recommend # C45554 which gets you all the accessories you need to finish your towing package. This kit includes a ball mount, a hitch ball, and a locking pin. Depending on what you're using the hitch for you also need # TE54FR to get your brake lights to match with your trailer tail lights. When towing a trailer, it's a must have product which makes your vehicle's taillights and your trailer taillights...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With 2022 Ford Escape
    In order to add a hitch to your 2022 Ford Escape you will want to start with buying an aftermarket hitch like the ones we carry here at etrailer.

  • Is Bumper Fascia Trimming Needed to Install etrailer e89YR Class III Hitch on 2021 Ford Escape
    To install the etrailer brand # e89YR Class III hitch on your 2021 Ford Escape, you will NOT need to trim the bumper fascia, as you can see in the provided photo and video showing the identical Curt hitch being installed on a 2021 Ford Escape like yours. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

    Yes, the etrailer Hitch # e89YR is confirmed to fit your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. This hitch provides your vehicle with 525 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 3,500 pounds of maximum gross towing weight. If you need a 4-way harness to complete your setup, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TE54FR.

    For your 2020 Ford Escape the Curt Class III part # C23FR is our most popular option that would work really well and would be a great option.

    The Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape does not include trailer wiring but you can easily add that on with the part # TE54FR for a fit that is easy and overall very reliable! Not everyone who installs a trailer hitch plans to tow a trailer which is why the wiring wasn't included. Some people only want to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts;...

    Since your 2022 Ford Escape doesn't have the tow package and it has LED's you have no other option than to use a wiring harness that requires a power wire ran to the battery. The LED wiring harnesses are to small to splice into and you can't use anything without a power module because of the LEDs. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TE54FR is a better option for you because of Tekonsha's reliability and quality of their moduLite power module....

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Fit for 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid
    As long as your Escape Titanium Hybrid isn't a PHEV model, we do have a hitch fit and a trailer wiring harness for you. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C23FR. For a wiring harness fit, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # TE54FR. For a ball mount, use # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
