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 access cover and the tail light assemblies to access this harness.
Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle. 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.
ModuLite Power Module
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module draws power directly from your car's battery and bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

Roadmaster
On Sat 3/9/24 I called etrailer and attempted to order Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base plate.., phone lines down so you couldnt place my order. The price then was 397.71. You called me back following Sunday and was able to place my order. The price on same item one day after my first attempt was now $[XX] which I paid not reallizing the price had increased by $[XX] dollars . I checked your site and the price had indeed increased to $[XX]. I checked the site again on Tuesday 3/12/24 and the price had decreased again to $[XX]. I called you to have my account credited the $[XX] as I had not even received the item yet. You told me that couldnt be done. You would however re order and I could return the one that hadnt even arrived yet,, but that I would have to pay shipping of $[XX]. How ridiculous does this sound? You told me that if I paid for a gallon of gas one day and the price dropped the next day i couldnt expect the gas station to take it back so etrailer wouldnt credit me the $[XX] either. I can’t believe this happened even as I write this review it sounds so stupid. I feel I was over charged $[XX] and think I’m still due a credit. I have been a customer for years but no more.

Kit is well organized and seems to have been well thought out. It is a pain in the rear to run the power line all the way to the battery but has to be done. I keep asking myself why I can't just splice the yellow, green and brown wires into the taillight wires and call it good. I supposed that the little gremlin in Jeep's computer would be upset and keep sending messages that there is a problem with the lights.
by: DC06/17/2024
Installed after watching video. Worked as advertised after completion. Took about 2.5 hours to install. I took my time and made sure all wires were secure and out of the way of any heat source.
by: Gary 02/04/2024
I looked at a lot of auto stores . No one could come up with what I needed.
Contacted etrailer. Problem solved.
Thank you, etrailer!

2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
I prefer to use this Tekonsha module for the vehicle that don`t have the factory tow harness. The module was tucked away in the body cavity behind the drivers side tail lamp assy. All wiring was covered in HD split loom. All wiring was concealed as much as possible by running them through the cross rail and frame rail up to the battery positive terminal. I did lengthen the green wire on the passenger side to accomplish this. All connections were done with heat shrink connectors. Installation did take longer than usual based on the wire routing I chose. Overall I am totally satisfied with this product.
by: Joel 08/30/2023
Jeeps are notorious for electrical problems. This product isolates the automotive system from a trailers systems. Very good idea and I love it. My background is in aircraft electrical systems. I have worked in this field since 1977. This is a great product. I'll buy another if needed and I'll recommend it to others.

2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I am not one to work on my vehicles, mostly because I find it to be of very little interest.” Unfortunately,” with the economy heading south and prices soaring “ AGAIN “, I found myself in a sqeeze.
I put on my big boys work wear nand attacked the installation of the wiring harness kit for My 2021 Wrangler 80th anniversary Jeep.
The directions were very easy to follow and before I knew it, I was wrapping it up. Start to finish in one hour and forty five minutes. Thank you etrailer

2018 Jeep Wrangler
I've purchased a handful of trailer hitches/wiring harnesses over the past 10 years and they have always been awesome!! Quality products and fast shipping every time!! Just recieved a new class 111 hitch & wiring harness for my 2018 Wrangler JL and installed the hitch in less then 10 minutes and the wiring was approximately an hour after watching the video provided on their website. Never been disappointed!!
by: Christopher11/14/2023
Perfect package - comes with everything you need and good instructions. I found a video on the etrailers site was more helpful than the printed ones.

Wiring working excellent on my 23 Jeep Gladiator. Great company to deal with, you can't go wrong
by: David04/08/2019
very easy install thanks to the outstanding video. Adding this and an $80 -2 inch receiver was way cheaper than buying from the dealer. Since I had the taillights off, i threw in a fuel filler door at the same time.

Great kit and easy to install.

Great service quick delivery
by: Kenneth08/10/2023
Fairly easy to install as long as the vehicle is up on ramps or even better would be a lift. I used ramps and crawled the length of my jeep to run the wires to the front and secured them to the frame away from heat or pinch points.
by: Stephen01/16/2024
All good worked perfectly without a glitch. Towed the Jeep Wangler 4xe over 10,000 miles in 2023.

When putting this hitch on your Jeep you will use the existing factory bolts along with a pair of the supplied carriage bolts, nuts and washers. You only need to lift the hitch in place and secure it. This will give your Gladiator a hitch with a hidden crosstube so your...

- Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Jeep Gladiator that Looks Like an OEM HitchI took a look at some pictures of a 2021 Jeep Gladiator with a trailer hitch installed from the factory. In all of those pictures, all you saw was the hitch receiver under the bumper. Given that information, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU74FR is going to be a great choice. This hitch is made in the USA, requires no drilling into the frame and will provide you with a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and...

- 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited 4-Way Wiring Harness for Small TrailerThanks for the details! Since you're pulling a smaller trailer that doesn't have brakes you just need a 4-Way flat wiring harness and for that we have the T-One # 118786 which tees in behind the tail lights on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited and draws power directly from the battery. To secure the 4-Way next to your hitch receiver for easy access you can use the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202. Attached is an installation video of this wiring harness installed on a 2018 JLU...
view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Hitch 13392 Fit 2021 Jeep Wrangler With Spacer Behind BumperSo what you are seeing on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler is a spacer plate, which is on some models of Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, but even with this you will still be able to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13392. What you can do is simply remove the bolts and spacer, and keep those two factory bolts for installation while also using two new bolts that come with the hitch. This is a pretty common issue, seemingly on later model year Wranglers, but a pretty easy workaround so...
view full answer... - 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler I would be happy to help you add a 7-way connector to your 2022 Jeep Wrangler. You are going to need two separate wiring harnesses to accomplish this. The first one is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118786. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. This adapter installs without cutting or splicing wires to provide your Jeep with a...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Curt C13392 and the etrailer e98856 for My 2022 Jeep Wrangler?For your 2022 Jeep Wrangler, the only difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish # e98856 and the Curt Hitch # C13392 is that the Curt hitch comes with a higher-quality gloss outer coating over the base powder coat than the etrailer hitch. This ultimately provides you with more protection against rust and corrosion. Other than that difference, these hitches are exactly the same. With this in mind, I recommend the Curt hitch because of the higher-quality...
view full answer... - What 7-Way and Brake Controller do You Recommend for My 2022 Jeep Wrangler?In order to install a 7-way on your 2022 Jeep Wrangler without a factory tow package, you need to have a 4-way harness already installed. If you need a 4-way, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786. The T-One comes with a better-quality converter box than the Curt # C56407. Once the 4-way is installed, then you are good to go with the 7-way harness. For that harness, you need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers...
view full answer... - Fit of etrailer Class III e67AR Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2021 Jeep Gladiator MojaveThe etrailer Trailer Hitch # e67AR fits all models of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator including the Mojave trim. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118786. I'd also recommend a ball mount kit like # 989900.
view full answer... - What do I Need to Tow My 2021 Nucamp TAB 320S with My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon?From the sound of your question, it sounds like you are trying to figure out what you need in order to attach your 2021 Nucamp TAB 320S to your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with an off-road coupler. From my research, I discovered that your camper has a gross trailer weight of 2,900 pounds. As long as you have enough gross towing weight capacity on your hitch like the 4,500 pounds of the Draw-Tite Hitch - 2" # DT78MR on your Jeep, you will be safe to tow. For the coupler itself,...

- What 5-Way Wiring Harness do You Recommend for My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon without Tow Package?I have a great 5-way solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not make a 5-way customized harness, but we do carry the parts needed to create one for your application. For this route on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler without a factory tow package, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786 along with the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way Flat to 5-Way Flat - Vehicle End # C57187. If you are using this setup for a boat trailer application,...

This will give you the more common 2" receiver for a Ball Mount # C45534. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 will allow to tee into your tail lights for your trailer tail lights to function. You will also need the 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR. This controller is best as it allows you to select from proportional mode which works best...
view full answer... - Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL UnlimitedTekonsha confirms that the correct T-One wiring harness for a 2018 Wrangler Unlimited JL is part # 118786. The # 118416 harness you'd looked at is a fit for the JK model, and wouldn't work with your JL, as 2018 was a split model year for the Wrangler where Jeep produced both the first model year of the JL and the final model year of the JK. I've linked to an installation video for you.

I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 since it is the most reliable. This will plug in behind your tail lights and provide you with a 4-way for your trailer's signal lights. Once you have installed the 4-way you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This comes with the adapter, wiring, and everything else required to upgrade your 4-way to a 7-way....
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4xEThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR is what I recommend for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4xE. It offers a bolt-on fit with factory look. In order to add a trailer connector you'll need to start with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118786 which is a 4-way that you can then convert to a 7-way with 4-Way using the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185.

It is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7. With this kit, you splice in the wiring of the setup with your factory wiring with no tow package required. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the harness being installed on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler for your convenience. It is important to note that in order to install the # ETBC7, you must have...

This hitch will fit on 2007 to current models of the Jeep Wrangler or Wrangler Unlimited. There may be some other components you'll need to complete your towing setup, as well. To power the trailer lights, you'll need a wiring harness with a 4 way plug; for a Jeep JK/JKU (2007-2018)...
view full answer... - Can Diode Tow Bar Lighting Kit be Installed with T-One Style Trailer Wiring on 2019 Jeep WranglerAs long as there isn't anything connected to the trailer wiring's 4-way when you are flat towing (there shouldn't be) it wouldn't matter if you install the diodes of a tow bar wiring kit like # RM-15267 before the trailer wiring. It would interact with the trailer wiring in the same way as your vehicle wiring does when there isn't a trailer connected. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar Wrangler for you to check out as well.

But the wiring will not work the way you are hoping. The 4-way connector on your Jeep will be located at the back by the hitch and will allow you to have lights on a trailer when you are towing one with the Jeep. The connector to go to the 7-way on your motorhome will be at the front of the vehicle and allows your motorhome to tie into the Jeeps lights when flat towing...

Once you have that installed there are a few options for you. You can either install the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L which only adds 12V power to the 7-Way and allows you to use the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller with an Apple or Android smart device, or you can install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 for...

If you do not have a tow package, then you can install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 which is a confirmed fit for the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. You would then need to add a 7-way with part # ETBC7. I attached some review videos below...
