Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located at the rear, along the inside of the frame rail on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
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.

After installing a receiver hitch and crawling under my truck trying to scope out a spot to splice into the wiring harness, I noticed convenient couplers in the wiring on both frame rails so I went to the dealer to ask if there was some sort of plug and play trailer wiring that Dodge offered for their Dodge PU's They looked at me sort of dumbfounded and dint even comprehend for the longest time what I was even trying to describe to them. After the 3 explanation of what I wanted they said "Good Idea but no we have nothing like that." Well I wasn't going to give up that easily so I started looking online. I figured if I could not find one I might invent one and make my Millions right!.. Well it didn't take lone before I once again realized someone already beat me to my wonderful idea.
So I ordered up a set and the 7 way matching trailer plug to go with it. Renee at etrailer was super helpfull and assured me Id get it in time for Fishing seasons opening week end. UPS had a hick up and it was a day late making me a bit nervous but it still came in time. The product looked of good quality and my only complaint is the tolerances on the plugs don't match the factory plugs very well they are VERY tight and almost impossible to seat in all the way so I hope I don't have issues with them coming loose or the contacts arcing out. But it was definitely the way to go and so much better then hacking in a splice job like most of us have done in our lives. All the lights functioned perfectly on the drivers side first shot but I had to fight with one of the plugs on the passenger side as I stated they did not want to seat all the way in. I didn't see or think to ask Renee about a mounting bracket for the 7 way so I made my own out of some scrap metal I had around my shop. Whole process took me about an hour including making and installing the bracket.
Good product, great service from the folks at etrailer and I highly recommend buying form them. They are totally on top of all communication by email to their customers. Kudos to etrailer for building faith in the market place one customer at a time. They have all my future business that's for sure. I'm ready for fishing in the morning! Now what other idea can I come up with dang-it!..lol

Good quality accessory. Easy to install. Now I'll need to fix my broken trailer's wiring next. Hope U-Haul will accept the plug-in since the truck is not listed as having a Tow Package.

This harness installed without a problem, so much easier to plug the harness connections into the OEM plugs and you are ready to go. Could not be any happier with this set up. When things are simple, cut and dry then everything goes faster like this did. Thanks E trailer.com, will be back in the future.

Hitch and wiring harness for my 1998 pickup fit perfectly. Order was shipped promptly and actually arrived ahead of projected date. Installation directions were clear and all needed hardware was there. Very happy with etrailer products and service. This was the second hitch I have purchased for my vehicles.

Wiring harness I purchased had activation leds which apparently shorted out somehow which prevented not only trailer lights from operating but made the truck lights operate incorrectly. Replaced with same wiring harness without the lights on the receptacle and it works fine. Still very happy with etrailer. Just didn’t have the time to consult with them on the problem.

Great product with rapid delivery within a couple of days. Literally plug-and-play, this was one of the easiest automotive electrical projects I've ever done, taking about 20 minutes to accomplish. As soon as I finished, I hooked it up to my trailer wiring, and its tail lights and turn signals worked perfectly. Highly recommended.

Excellent customer service. I spoke with Terri and she was on point with helping me get everything I needed, I could not have asked for better service. This was my first time ordering from them and I had zero knowledge as to what to for my truck but Terri made the entire transaction go smoothly and explained everything to me about each product. Thanks Terri for all your help and for providing me with a contact number in case I had questions. Now that's a peace of mind for you.

The product was an exact fit to my 96 dakota.simply plug n play..moved cross country with uhaul in tow.never worried about lights or blinkers not working. I would highly recommend this wiring adapter opposed to wiring to your factory harness. Thank you etrailer for a quality product.
by: Johnny04/23/2017
Easy to install. I was able to reach the wiring from underneath truck. Note: Wear safety glasses if under a rusty vehicle. I bought this and the hitch for a [retailer] move. Since then, I have used it for a couple more [retailer] moves. The hitch and the wiring have worked great.

T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector: arrived a day early, plugged right into my Dakota, checked it with a test light and it all worked!
If you want to improve this, add a little electrical grease to protect the contacts and put more than 2 zip ties in - but this is complaining on a high level :-)
Very good product and fit!

1996 Dodge Dakota
Connecting the wiring harness went well. I needed two more (longer) plastic zip ties to secure all of the harness out of the way.
Testing didn't go quite as well. Everything worked except the left side turn signal. I took the tail light cover off of the pickup. The bulb is a two filament bulb; and both filaments looked fine when held up to a light. I didn't suppose it was possible to plug in a connector turned 180 degrees from correct. I guess that possibility needs to be checked next.

My son just bought a Popup camper. So we bought a draw-tite class lll frame hitch receiver pn75073, a draw-tite brake controller pn5504, a universal brake control wiring kit pnETBC7, and a custom fit wire harness pn118329 for his truck. It took us a couple of hours to install. The instructions were spot on. He hooked up the camper to his truck, and drove off. Worked as advertised. (hope I get to see him soon!!)

- Is Drilling Required to Install etrailer Trailer Hitch # e53AR on a 1995 Dodge DakotaAccording to the installation instructions, you will have to do a little bit of drilling in order to install etrailer Trailer Hitch, # e53AR, on your 1995 Dodge Dakota. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. With any of the available hitches for your truck, there will be some drilling involved. If you decide to go with this hitch, the ball mount is # 36051 and you can use pin and clip # PC2. For a ball you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2...

It is the Curt Easy Mount Bracket item # C58000. The Curt easy mount bracket fits over the hitch receiver opening and secures around the lip with the included hardware. I can also confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C15319 does fit your 2021 Dodge Ram. If you need a 7-way connector you will want the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, 7' Lead item # 20023. This is for trucks with the factory...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Dodge DakotaI took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2003 Dodge Dakota and it looked like the max towing capacity for your pickup when equipped with a Class III trailer hitch is 5,000 lbs. Since all of the trailer hitches available for your pickup are Class III with a max rating of 5,000 lbs (500 lbs tongue weight) and similar install difficulty (per the manufacturers) it really boils down to style. The 2 trailer hitches that are easiest to install are the Curt # C13280 and the etrailer...

Having a dually isn't going to factor into the fit, as the hitches fit both single and dual rear wheel models. So long as you have a standard or step bumper, the 2 inch trailer hitch that I can confirm fits your 1995 Dodge Ram 3500 dually is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15318. Along with this hitch, if you also need trailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 Dodge Dakota Quad CabFor the 2003 Dodge Dakota, there are specific trailer hitches that will fit all models INCLUDING the quad cab. Take a look at Curt hitch # C13145. The instructions I have linked do specify that it fits 2 door and 4 door models. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, if needed, use # 118329. I have included a link to the installation details for the wiring as well.

Since you have no wiring at all for a trailer you are going to need a couple of wiring harnesses to build a 7-Way connector that will work with your 2022 Jayco Trailer. These harnesses will allow you to control your brakes with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 item # 90195. The first harness you will need is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118329. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually and 5th Wheel TrailerFor your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually and 5th wheel trailer I recommend using a proportional brake controller. A proportional controller will apply the trailer brakes in proportion to how much the truck is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on the trailer and truck brakes. The proportional controller I recommend is the P2 # 90885 because its easy to set up and use and it is reliable. If your truck came with a factory installed 7-Way connector then you will...

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring to Tow a Trailer with a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Cab and ChassisOne of the more popular trailer hitches for your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 Cab and Chassis is the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15300. This will fit all models unless you have a rollpan bumper. If your Ram didn't come with the factory trailer connector then you I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118329 for a 4-Way connector that provides the standard trailer lighting signals. If you are needing a fully functioning 7-Way (typically used for trailers with brakes) then you will also...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 1999 Dodge RamFor your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 that does not have any trailer wiring at all you would first want to start with the part # 118329 as it is a 4-way like what you referenced but it is a custom fit harness designed to specifically work on your vehicle. The one you mentioned is a universal kit that could work but would be much more difficult to install. 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...
view full answer... - Recommendation on a Brake Controller to Fit a 1997 Dodge Ram TruckI have the solution for you for a brake controller to fit your 1997 Dodge Ram truck. However, there are a few items you will need install first before you can install the controller in the cab of your Ram. First, you will need to install a 4-pole flat trailer connector harness. You will need the T-One Vehicle Harness, # 118329. This harness will allow you to connect to the turn, brake, and trail lights of your Ram without cutting or splicing into the vehicle's wiring.

Both take stop/tail/turn light signals from your Dakota and through plug-in connectors that attach underneath the vehicle deliver these lighting signals to your trailer. Both are equipped with a flat 4-pole trailer connector.

They may be zip-tied to other components to keep them safe. If there is indeed no wiring to rear of the truck then you can still install a trailer brake controller such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885 by...

First, the 1996 Dodge Dakota did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector. So you will need to add one. The easiest way to install a 7-Way would be to first install a 4-Way flat if the truck does not already have one. You would need part # 118329.

If so, then you can use the 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector part # 20023 which will require splicing on the new pigtail. If not, you'll need both the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118329 and the 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Adapter part # ETBC7 which is mostly plug-n-play. I wish I could give you...

This will allow you to have the receiver hidden behind the license plate on your roll pan which you will be able to remove and install with the Bracket # 5443 depending on if you are towing or not. This will also give you a much cleaner look than if you had one hanging below the roll pan on your Ram. You will...

The colors on this do not have to match and in fact may not, the adapter just needs to plug into the connector. If you do not have a 4-way or 7-way trailer connector on your Ram, you can still add either of those brake controllers but you will not use Wiring Adapter # 3020-P. Instead...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Needed and Differences Between Electric and Electric/Hydraulic Braking SystemsI'd be happy to explain that a bit for you. There are a few different braking systems available for trailers, with electric being the most common. The brake controller sends voltage back to the electromagnets in the brake assemblies, which stick to the inside of the drums, spreading the brake drums apart so they push against the inside of the drums helping to stop the trailer. Some trailers use hydraulic brakes, like cars do. These can be actuated by a surge coupler that compresses when...

view full answer... - Brake Controller and Trailer Wiring Setup for 1995 Dodge Ram 1500Congratulations on your new truck! Since brake controllers are for electric brakes, boat trailers generally do not have electric brakes due to them being used around water. You have a 4-wire connector on your boat trailer, so you would not have hydraulic brakes either, probably because it is light enough that they are not needed. Under your dashboard, the 6-wire plug is for the brake controller, while the 2-wire plug is most likely for computer diagnostics. To use your boat trailer lights,...

A time delayed controller is another option and it uses a preset (by you) amount of braking power to apply the trailer brakes no matter how hard the towing vehicle is braking. On the time delayed controller there is a short delay (user adjustable) before the trailer begins to brake after the brake pedal has been pushed....
