Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, on the driver's side.


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.

A year out still 5 stars. Its common on these 4 pin connectors to have the plastic rub off next to the single exposed pin, this is no different. Still functional and stays connected throughout use.

I recently recieved my tow hitch for a 2000 Dodge Dakota. The part arrived promptly and in excelent condition. I was very pleased with the quality of this hitch by Curt. It was very stout and had great welds. I haven't had a chance to mount the unit yet but the measurements look to be right on. etrailer.com has a new customer.

This part is meant for Jeeps that have the factory tow package. I am wondering if that is the issue here. If your jeep doesnt have that then you would need part # 118425.

The product was everything that was advertised it arrived in perfect condition I guess I just misunderstood what I needed and inevitably ordered the wrong part my 05 Jeep Liberty did not come with a 7-way so I need a different harness to be able to hook up my trailer should have called customer service first

If your Liberty didnt have the factory 7-way, I would recommend the # 118524 Tekonsha powered taillight converter.

The kit was extremely easy to install and fits like a fine glove. So easy in fact that the factory could not have done better looking job. Works great although I rarely use my trailer but I know when I do, I can rest assured that the wiring will not be a problem as it used to be.

Barry B.

have since started driving a different vehicle. My jeep bit the dust. I liked the harness and it always worked fine but I didnt get to use it too long. I do remember how easy and well thought out the installation process was. I do keep a link to your website and have turned on others to it. Sometimes it was already too late but now they know its there. Ill definitely keep you guys in mind in the future

Fit just like advertised. They have excellent customer service. Videos and pictures were a great help.

This product was what was recommended by your site as the proper wiring harness and it IS NOT compatible with my vehicle. Our family’s vacation has already been pushed back by 2 days dealing with this situation and we are still working on finding a local solution!

This wiring harness is only compatible if your Freightliner Sprinter has the factory equipped 7-way trailer connector, as we state in our product fit guide. If your Sprinter does NOT have the factory 7-way, youd need part # 118650 instead.



by:

etrailer received, filled, packaged and shipped my small order (wiring harness) within an hour, then turned it over to the US Post Office.... Within 2 days, it crossed the state line from Missouri into Illinois. A few days later, it was received in Chicago and should have arrived in Canada in short order.... Instead, tracking my order a week later revealed that it was resting comfortably in Miami Florida. A call to etrailer and Carol soon straightened things out. It eventually found its way to me and I am quite pleased with the service from etrailer. The Post Office? Well, you know..... Bobber.



by:

The T-wire harness was great, installed well and works fine.
The Seat covers are great as well, durable and easy to install, will consider rear seat covers if available?
The stabilizer bracket would not work with my platform rig, but looked of good quality and I will find a use for it.



by:
2006 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Bought this for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter didn't realize it would not work on a Sprinter with out towing package. Had to buy different kit and splice the wires in (not fun) make sure you have the right kit if you are working on a Sprinter. On a vehicle with the right harness it works great just plug in and go.

Dodge Durango

Thanks to etrailer's excellent customer service, I was FINALLY able to order the correct wiring harness for my '01 Dodge Durango. There are many variables due to several Durango models, and this was the correct one. Has worked flawlessly since installation.



by:
2000 DodgeDakota

I was in a hurry and I bought the wrong wiring harness. I have ordered the right wiring harness and it is on the way. My truck does not have the factory trailer connections for the wiring harness that I ordered.



by:

Easy to install, hidden when not in use, doesn't reduce ground clearance and trouble free. Local hitch installer quoted me $350 and said it would take 3" off my clearance. I saved over $200 and got a better setup.



by:

Super easy to install and worked right away, no additional fuses or lights necessary. Videos were easy to find on [online] and very easy to follow. Would recommend this to anybody. Mine did not come with the double sided tape, but I had some lying around so no worries.

perfect fit fast install!!

didn't even install it .... my Dakota had no hook up ... had to hardwire a connector .... waste of $15 , not even worth my time returning it .... I did buy a hitch that I am using though ... should have bought a chevy



by:
2007 Jeep Liberty

I watched a video of theirs on Youtube which linked to the correct part and I bought what the video linked to, assuming it was the one shown in the video (without the factory 7-way). They sold me the one that uses the factory 7-way (which I don't have) and when I called asking to exchange it for the right one, they said it wasn't possible. They said they'd take it on refund, but are charging me for return shipping, and considering it's such a lightweight and cheap part to ship (and their website's mistake), I'm losing a significant portion of the money I spent on it.



by:

Perfect fit! Just plugged it in with a little dielectric grease in the connector and it has performed flawlessly.



by:

website was very helpful and easy to use. Told me exactly what to order and how to install, Items arrived and installed exactly like they said they would. Saved us $300 dollars and have exactly the same hitch we were quoted at several different trailer install places. Thank you etrailer!!!

Wrong product .. reordered correct one .. said this was 4 pin connection, but requires vehicle to be equipped with 7 pin connection from factory. Guess you have to read the fine print

For a 2004 Dodge Dakota with a factory seven way this harness adds a 4 flat. For a 2004 Dodge Dakota that did not come with a factory harness part # 118323 would be a fit.

It would have been very easy to install but my truck did not have the quick disconnect behind the bumper.

You mentioned that you were not able to find the connector and I wanted to ask if you were adding on the 4 flat or replacing it.

  • How To Choose the Correct T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica
    In regards to a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118381 is a fit for models with the factory tow package and the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55530 for models without the factory tow package. If you had the factory tow package then you would have a 7-way trailer connector clearly installed on the exterior of the vehicle. I would be willing to bet you do not have the factory tow package so the # C55530 is likely what you need. Furthermore, this option...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C15409 Fit a 2005 Dodge Ram with Factory Installed Trailer Hitch
    The Curt hitch, # C15409, will fit 2500 and 3500 models with or without a factory installed hitch. But, it will not fit Daytona, Hemi Sport Quad Cab, Ram Rumble Bee or SRT-10 models. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. For a ball mount, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK25318. It comes with a ball mount, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. If you need trailer wiring, use # 119178KIT. But if the truck has a factory 7-Way and you...

The connector will be located pretty near where the one in the 2008 model is. The connector is blue in color, and is either above or alongside of the white junction box mounted to the firewall under the dash behind the emergency brake pedal. Keep in mind, that connector will only be present if the truck is equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector. If...

  • What is the Difference Between Max Carrying Capacity and Weight Distribution Capacity
    Absolutely, I am here to help! The max carrying weight of a hitch is how much the hitch can pull if you were to just hook your trailer up to the hitch and not use a weight distribution system. The Gross Trailer Weight or GTW of this hitch is 5,000 lbs. and the Tongue Weight or TW of this hitch is 500 lbs. The GTW is how much weight the hitch can pull behind it and the tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle. So the hitch...

I have included a link to the installation details below. If the 7-Way on the trailer has blade style connectors, you will also need to add a 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7.

    It sounds like your vehicle has a 7-way connector and the trailer you plan on towing has a 4-way or the rental company you plan on using requires the use of unique adapters for their trailers. All you would need to connect your 2000 Dodge Durango to the wiring of the trailer is the correct adapter. If you need a 4-way I recommend the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Pole Adapter # PK12716.

    A brake controller isn't a vehicle specific item, so you can use just about any brake controller you wish. There are two types of controllers, time delayed or proportional. A time delayed controller will always send the same amount of voltage to the trailer brakes (depending on how the controller's been set) whether you're tapping on the pedal or braking very hard. A proportional controller can sense how quickly the tow vehicle is stopping, and will send the proper amount of voltage to...

Easiest way to tell would be to check to see if the vehicle has a factory trailer hitch and wiring installed on it currently. If so, then you'd have the tow package and the kit you'd want is the # 118381 which would plug inline with the 7-way you have to give you a 4-way.

    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118394, will fit a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee if it does not have the factory tow package, and because your hitch is not factory, is is likely you do not have that package.

  • Adding a 4- and 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2000 Dodge Ram with Factory Wiring Harness
    We have 4-Ways that Tee into that square factory connector, such as # 118381 which also fits some full size vans. We also have a 7-Way # HM42190 but it doesn't have a 4-Way built in. But we also have # 20135 which is both a 4- and 7-Way and has that squarish connector. If you are not the original owner of the truck then it is possible that it came with a 4-Way flat (or someone added one) and then used a 4- to 7-Way adapter such as # 37185.

Next I would recommend you install a Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 37185. This will give you a 4-way and a 7-way. Finally, I would recommend you get a Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47570. This will plug into the 7-way of the # 37185 when needed and give you a 6-way, a 5-way and a 4-way.
