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 installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
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.

Easy to install and works great! The etrailer support video was very helpful.

Installation was straight forward and not overly complicated. The hitch itself is very beefy indeed. The plug-n-play wiring for the lights was very simple as well

2012 Ford Flex
Photos of our T-one wiring harness install this afternoon on our 2012 Ford Flex. Should be comprehensive, but I have a few other photos.
I ziptied to the factory harness where I could, and had to clip the last one of your zipties to get enough slack. Ground wire unzipped a little. Drilled & Dremel'd off the finish, then used "Noalox" between the ring terminal & body, then sealed with caulk. I will add some split-loom later where the trailer plug wiring goes into the backside of the tow bumper. I added electrical tape to the green wire (not shown in photos), and any other place I thought might rub. 4-pin connector just wedged into the factory slot.

Overall good product, work as intended. Only thing I would change is the ground eyelet. Im not drilling into tge body of my car for a rust area later in it's life. I added a larger eyelet and put the ground on the hitch mount bolt.

The easiest wire kit to install. Had my 7 year son hook it up for me.
Thanks again. Will order next hitch and wire harness, will tell friends and family about them.
by: Dan05/08/2023
The product was basically easy to install. Would recommend some help with the tow hitch installation; lifing the tow hitch and lining up the bolts is difficult to do by myself. The Videos on the etailer website made installation easy to understand.

The product itself was fine, the 1 star review is for etrailer itself. Took over a week to receive my order from the time it was placed. Had I known I would be waiting that long I would've just ordered from [online]. Once I finally received my order my hitch was thrown into a box that was way too big for it along with the wiring harness I ordered smashed under the hitch inside the box. No protective packaging of any sort, just 2 items haphazardly thrown into a huge box to bounce around across the country. Wiring harness was still usable but the packaging and instructions were crushed and destroyed as well as my hitch arrived slightly bent and had several large chips in the powder coating. Needless to say I believe this will be my first and last order from etrailer.
by: Michelle 08/29/2021
I was DESPERATE and someone recommended etrailer. I had my hitch and wiring ordered and received in less than 24 hours! I am now in the midst of my move thanks to their help. Greg also double checked that I had the right equipment ordered for my vehicle. I am so thankful!

Everything works perfectly.
by: Loy Clemmer08/12/2017
I chose to install the wiring harness first. It was designed to fit the existing vehicle harness with a couple of perfectly fitting sockets Routing was easy and used my personal choice for securing. The hitch was obviously designed for strength and durability with good powder coat paint and faultless welds. Installation was simple but for me I needed two more hands to lift and hold in place until the four bolts were secure. I do not foresee any problems in the years ahead. The pricing was good and free shipping was appreciated. All contacts with etrailer were professional and knowledgeable.

I will share with you that the product your company supplied has worked for me. The hardest part was getting the covers removed from my Flex,but got that done. The lights have worked every time since install. Thank you for the follow up. I would order products from your co. again if I have a need and would tell my friends or family about my experience.

Installed along with my trailer hitch. This is a pull and play harness which requires no cutting and installs in series with your factory connection and your rear light module.

2009 Ford Flex
Wonderful product. Excellent customer service. From the product descriptions in the beginning, the installation instructions and the personalized follow up, working with etrailer.com is what you expect from a top-notch company. I will note, however, that the installation is not a one-man job. An extra set of hands would of come in helpful. I used a set of jack stands and my vehicle jack to improvise and to help lift the hitch into position until I could get a bolt to catch. After that it was all a breeze as the hitch utilized existing holes on the frame. No drilling! Even the wiring was made simple and fool proof. I would definitely use this company and product again.

I did not want to "chop up" the lighting wiring on my Flex when I got my trailer, so I looked around for a solution. etrailer had the exact kit I needed to wire up my trailer connector, so I purchased and installed it myself. Each part fit where it needed to, and the end result worked just as it should. I probably went a little overboard to get the crossover wiring tucked up out of the way (I removed the rear bumper to tie the wires up across the subframe).
by: Allen C.11/12/2013
2012 Ford Flex
My issue may have been rare, but after very difficult install, mostly due to challenges routing the wiring under a Ford Flex. The unit caused my Ford Flex to hyper-flash when connected to two different, very simple trailer light systems with minimal electrical loads. Connecting to a trailer made my Ford Flex turn signals flash very rapidly as if there were a bulb out. Etrailer helped me identify a substitute harness with powered converter that solved the problem, but it was no fun installing, uninstalling, shipping back, then ordering and reinstalling two different wiring harnesses for something as simple as a two light trailer. I hope that in the future compatibility issues will be identified by etrailer ahead of time so customers are aware of potential problems before purchasing potentially incompatible parts. Again, my case may have been the exception, but it was annoying. To be safe, when in doubt install a system with a powered converter, even though this requires sometimes difficult wiring directly to the car battery.
by: Dan W06/13/2020
This wiring harness worked perfectly for my Ford Flex. Fishing the wires down through the bodywork was a challenge, but once the job was done it functioned perfectly and allowed me to tow a trailer that I rented. Hopefully, the harness will pass the test of time. I haven’t used it again, but the installation is neat and seems weather resistant. Overall, a very useful product for a good price.

- Does the Exhaust Need to be Lowered to Install a Curt Hitch on a 2009 Ford FlexTo install the Curt Hitch # C13110 on your 2009 Ford Flex you will not need to temporarily lower your exhaust. Check out the installation instructions I attached for this hitch to see how it installs. For trailer wiring you would want a Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118472. This harness installs in line with the tail light harness of your vehicle and does not require any splicing. Check out the installation instructions and installation video I attached for this product also.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Ford Flex with Dual ExhaustThere are trailer hitches available for the 2013 Ford Flex with dual exhaust but they are not rated for 5,000 lbs. The trailer hitches for the Ford Flex with dual exhaust are both rated for 4,000 lbs. The hitches are designed to fit around the dual exhaust system which could be why their rating is a bit lower. It is a good idea to check the owner's manual for how much the vehicle itself is rated to tow because it may be under what either hitch is rated for. I recommend Draw-Tite part #...

It has a 4,000 lb towing capacity which is the highest towing capacity option we have. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118472 which is also a confirmed fit. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with...
view full answer... - 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2012 Ford FlexSince you do not have a factory trailer wiring you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118472. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller...
view full answer... - Least Visible Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2012 Ford Flex Limited EcoBoost Dual ExhaustBoth of the trailer hitches available for your 2012 Ford Flex with dual exhaust have the same design and install in the same places on the vehicle so they will all look pretty much the same. The cross tube will be visible beneath the rear bumper but is recessed enough to not be glaring. The most popular option is the etrailer trailer hitch # e52AR but Curt hitch # C13110 will work just as well. I would go with whichever costs less. I have included links to videos showing installations...

I have attached a video showing you how these brackets work together to mount a 4-flat on your 2017 Ford Flex.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2013 Ford Flex with Dual ExhaustYes, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75679 will fit a 2013 Ford Flex with dual exhaust. Having EcoBoost or not does not matter. It also fits models with single exhaust. I have included links to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip and a storage bag. For trailer wiring you can use T-connector,...
view full answer... - Which Trailer Connector is Needed for 2013 Ford FlexThe trailer you're wanting to tow will dictate what trailer connector is needed. If your trailer has electric brakes, you'll need to install a brake controller to actuate them. If the trailer has a 4-pole connector, and doesn't have brakes, you won't need a brake controller. If the Flex has a 4-pole connector, simply plug the trailer into it, and you'll be good to go. If your vehicle doesn't have the 4-pole, you can easily install on using part # 118472. If your Flex is equipped with...

- Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Lincoln MKTI have a wiring solution for your 2012 Lincoln MKT, but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118472 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for you vehicle so I would not recommend it for you. If you do not have any trailer wiring connectors at all I would recommend you get a Curt Wiring Harness # C56095. This wiring harness has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would work well. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out.

These hitches are very similar and either would be a great choice. The most popular choice is the Curt # 13551. I would recommend going with the one that costs the least. Curt hitch # C13110 that you referenced is designed to fit the following models: 2009 - 2018 Ford Flex with Dual Exhaust 2010 - 2017 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing with a 2015 Ford FlexI recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75679. This will give you a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver for your 2015 Ford Flex. I like this trailer hitch because it has been rated as a 4 out of 10 for installation difficulty and it will fit whether you have dual exhaust or not. You will also need wiring like the T-One # 118472 which gives you the basic lighting functions for your trailer and a ball mount/hitch ball/pin & clip combination like the popular # C45036.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Ford Flex Towing a 3,000 Pound Boat TrailerDraw-Tite trailer hitch # 75679 is rated for up to 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 400 pounds tongue weight so it can easily handle a 3,000 pound boat with 300 pounds tongue weight. You will want to check the owners manual for your 2012 Ford Flex to make sure it also has the capacity needed. If your Flex did not come with a factory installed trailer connector you can add one using wiring harness # 118472. It just plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. I have included links...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2014 Ford Flex Towing a 3,200 Pound Camper TrailerI suggest a weight distribution system that has sway control. To choose the correct system you'll need the tongue weight of your loaded and ready to tow trailer added to the amount of gear in the Ford Flex behind its rear axle. A trailer's tongue weight should fall within about 10 to 15 percent of its total weight. The best way to determine your trailer's tongue weight is to use a scale # e99044. Since your trailer is 3,200 pounds empty and it's presumable that you will be adding to...

Since the Ecoboost models have dual exhaust, the sections in the instructions that deal with lowering the exhaust will apply to both sides. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. For wiring use...

There could potentially be too much power draw if you were to use this harness. Since that is a major concern for you I recommend using Curt harness # C56343 instead. It does require a direct connection to the vehicle battery. I have included a link to our help article with tips...

For the trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the # 118472 T-1 connector. I have two suggestions for how to attach the 4-pole connector to the vehicle. You'll need a long no-drill bracket, part # C57202, as well as the # 18144 mounting bracket. The 4-pole will push into the mounting bracket from behind. Your other option would be to use the same # 18136 bracket, along with the # RM-910030-5 bracket. You'd then use a # HM47605 knockout adapter....

After a year the wiring harness is doing fine. Mo corrosion on metal parts or cracking on the wire itself.
