Installation

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

Etrailer Expert

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



by:
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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.

10/25/2018

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



by:

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!

Etrailer Expert

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:
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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



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.



by:
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:

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:
2000 Dodge Dakota

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:

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.



by:
2007 Dodge Dakota

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 fast install!!



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!!!



by:

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

Etrailer Expert

Jenny N.

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.



by:

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

Etrailer Expert

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.

  • Will Curt Bumper Hitch E-3S Fit a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
    The Curt # E-3S bumper hitch is a universal application, so it does not have vehicle specific fits. This hitch would mount using four holes, two that would use 3/4 inch diameter bolts, and two that use 1/2 inch diameter bolts. You will need to measure to determine if the # E-3S hitch will work on your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The 3/4 inch holes are 8-3/4 inches apart, from center to center, and the 1/2 inch holes are 6-1/6 inches apart from center to center. These holes would need to...

  • Which T-One Trailer Wiring Harness Fits a 2004 Toyota Sienna Van?
    The T-One is a custom fit wiring harness, but part number 118381 will not fit your 2004 Sienna Van. This harness is custom fit for a full-sized Dodge van. We do offer a custom harness for the Toyota Sienna Van, the T-One wiring harness you need is part number 118304. For your convenience, I will attach links to the referenced products, a helpful FAQ wiring page and an installation video for the 2004 Sienna.

  • Do Brake Controllers Include Custom Wiring Adapter for Installation
    Brake controllers come with a basic pigtail wiring harness for hardwire installation, or they can come with a connector made to join with a vehicle-specific wiring adapter on vehicles that have a specific port for brake controllers. Since your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee does NOT have such a port under the dash any brake controller you install will be a hardwired installation. If the GC has no factory trailer socket at the rear then brake controller installation will require our all-inclusive...

    There are two different trailer wiring harnesses for a 2002 Dodge Durango which will be dependent on whether or not you have the tow package. If you do have the factory tow package then you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118381 which only uses one plug but if you don't have the factory tow package then you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118334 which uses two plugs.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring for 2007 Jeep Liberty
    For your 2007 Jeep Liberty, many people have a receiver for a bike rack or cargo carrier and have not added the trailer wiring which sounds like what you are finding. If your vehicle has the factory tow package, the harness you will need to connect to is found under the vehicle in the center behind your hitch receiver. If you have that tow package then you can simply use the Tekonsha # 118381 for a 4-Way or # 20135 for a 7-way. You may still need to add # 5506 on some models for 12v...

I attached installation instructions and a link to an installation video for this product below for you to check out also. The next thing you will need is an Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 20036.

  • Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch that Bolts to Bumper Support on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
    You are correct, your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 does have a bumper support at the back that attaches to each frame rail with a support in the center that rests under the step bumper so you can place a hitch ball. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13333, that you have referenced attaches to the bumper support and uses the ball hole as an attachment point also, so it is compatible with your truck. The hitch can be used with weight distribution. I have included a link to the installation details for the...

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way, 6-Way and a 4-Way on a 2001 Dodge Van
    The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118381 that your referenced once installed will give you a functioning 4-way at the rear of your 2001 Dodge Van. 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.

  • Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Ball, and Trailer Wiring Recommendations for a 2008 Dodge Ram V6

It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference. To complete your towing set up, the recommended ball mount is # 2753 with pin and clip # PC3. You can use ball # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 19247 (2...

  • Can Trailer Wiring Without Converter be Installed on a 2007 Jeep Liberty
    If you have the factory tow package on your 2007 Jeep Liberty then you can use the Tekonsha # 118381 or # 20135 which is just wires without a converter. If you don't have the factory tow package then you need the Tekonsha # 118524 which does have the converter. I find it a little odd that the converter popped all of the fuses on your vehicle because the purpose of the converter is to protect your vehicle OEM wiring. With the Tekonsha # 118524 mentioned above it will draw power directly...

    Most likely the harness # 118381 will not work with a UK vehicle, however, I do have an a couple options for you. If they are not there, you will need to hardwire a connection using a harness like the Hopkins Endurance 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Socket - Vehicle End - Ergonomic Design # HM48030.

  • Using Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness C55504 for Accessing Lighting Functions for Extra Lights
    If your 2005 Dodge Ram pickup has existing factory trailer wiring, say a 7-way like # HM42137 or a 4-pole like # 118381, you can use that trailer connector to access lighting signals for the extra lights you plan to install on your flat bed. If you have no trailer connector you can use the 4-pole harness # C55504 that you referenced; this plugs in at the taillight wiring connectors. Note that in both of these trailer wiring formats the vehicle's stop light and turn signal functions are...

    We have a variety of replacement wiring connectors for your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, like the Pollak # HM40975-11933 for a full replacement, the T-One # 118381 that tees in with a 4-Way, or the Curt # C55504 that plugs in behind the tail lights for power and signals. From what you're describing it sounds like you're wanting the Curt harness that essentially works outside of the OEM trailer wiring harness. Please note that while this will allow you to tow a trailer with a 4-Way quite easily,...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2005 Dodge Durango
    If your 2005 Dodge Durango came with the factory installed 7-Way and for whatever reason it is no longer there then yes, using # 118381 will provide the lighting functions for the trailer: running lights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the vehicle did not come with a factory trailer connector then you would use harness # 118390 which plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring and requires a direct connection to the vehicle battery. I have linked some videos and instructions for you.

    If your Liberty was equipped with the tow package, it will have the 7-way trailer connector on the rear of the vehicle.
