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.

Ugh, it looks like the shipping has been updated via the tracking number and you should be receiving the order today at some point [9-18]. Please let me know if you do not receive it this evening. I would also love to hear your feedback on your experience once you actually do receive the item. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

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.

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.

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:
2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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!

Etrailer Expert

5/29/2019

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.



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:
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:

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:

perfect fit fast install!!



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



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.

1/24/2022

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

Jenny N.

4/14/2022

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.



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!!!

  • 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.

    Both the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2008 Liberty by Jeep, part # 118381, and the Draw-Tite Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2008 Liberty by Jeep, part # 118554, will work on a 2008 Jeep Liberty. The difference is that the #118554 is used on vehicles that do not have a tow package, and the #118381 is for Libertys that have a factory 7 way and want a way to have a 4 way connector as well. If your Jeep Liberty does not have a tow package you will want to use the # 118554...

  • 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...

  • Installing a Brake Controller and 7-Way on a 2007 Dodge Sprinter RV
    Since your 2007 RV on the Sprinter chassis already has a trailer connector but it does not match either trailer, using the 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7 would be a good idea. This will also provide you with the accessories needed to install the P2 brake controller # 90885. If that green wire does go back to the trailer connector then you will not have to run the blue wire from the connector to the brake controller. You can test it by applying 12 volt power to the wire using a separate...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2007 Jeep Commander
    If your 2007 Jeep Commander came with the factory tow package then it should have a factory 7-Way trailer connector at the back of the vehicle. You would follow this connector back to where it plugs in and that is where you would install # 118381. If there is no trailer connector on your Commander then # 118381 will not work. You would need to use # 118408 instead. I have linked the instructions and a video showing installation for you. Neither harness plugs into the back up sensor connector. I...

  • Adapter Recommendation to Tow a Trailer with a 4-way with a 2000 Dodge Durango with 7-way
    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.

    Your 2002 Dodge van does not have a connection port under the dash for direct connection of a trailer brake controller like the Draw-Tite Activator # 5100 so the installation needs to be hard wired. Installing the Activator # 5504 in your van requires a pigtail lead # 20127, a basic 4-pole trailer harness like # 118381 (if you have a factory 7-way) or # 18252 (without factory 7-way) along with brake controller Installation Kit # ETBC7.

  • Can the Pins of a 4-Way be Moved Around
    I have a solution for you, but the pins of the # 118381 cannot be relocated in the 4-way, you could however just cut the wires and splice them to different wires to move the circuits around. Sounds like you only really need a 4-way plug and lead instead of the # 18252, for that you would want the # A35W42B for a 6 foot long harness.
