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 tail light assemblies to access this harness.
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.

Wiring connector caused a pin in factory harness to push partially out to cause an open in circuit to left turn signal.This led to customer return. trailer hitch mounting holes did not line up correctly. Was unable to install forward most mount bolt.

Excellent kit with good quality.
Delivery to Canada took a bit longer, but service center works really good.
thank you.

This wiring installed just as advertised. Between the hitch and the wiring harness I got everything installed in about an hour. I found the harness from the YouTube video for installing while looking for a wiring diagram for my van. I'm glad I found it saved me tons of time and no cutting and splicing!

This wiring harness was very easy to install, came with detailed easy to read, and was exactly what I needed for my 08 Uplander!

Outstanding Product quality, and Installation sheet! - First, the product was perfect! Even the paint job on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was as good as it gets! The hardware package was top notch as well. My order was received quicker than promised, and in perfect condition. As a former Technical Publications Engineer, I can attest that the instruction sheet was perfectly illustrated to my particular receiver, and so well documented that, no questions could arise on this installation, because everything was covered! Also, on the etrailer.com website, the installation and wiring videos, showed every aspect of the installations. Bravo "etrailer.com"!

These t connectors are the only way to go. I also got one for my Cobalt after another place completely botched the wiring job they did after I paid for a t connector. Come to find out, they didn't use one. Blown fuses and no headlights & taillights later, this solved all my problems. Easy to install and really inexpensive. The only way to go.

Thank you for the email. I havent had a single problem with either of those two items. The hitch is on a minivan, so I dont do a whole lot of towing, but its so nice to have the capability without the expense of a truck. With the hitch being so easy to install, 1 person in less than 45 minutes, I will definitely be buying my trailer products from etrailer.

We bought the hitch and wiring kit. Being older we had our regular garage man install. No problem installing and it has been working great this whole year. I would definitely recommend this product and company for your needs.
by: Michigan05/27/2018
Installed very easily, the on-line installation video was a big help, and as others have mentioned about the fish wire for the bolts, that was a major part of how easily the hitch went on. Has been on the vehicle about a year, despite weather and road salt, no rust has shown up anywhere on the hitch. The plug-in 4-wire trailer light harness also was a breeze - the slowest part of that was deciding where in the body to secure the wires.

2008 Chevrolet Uplander
I installed this on my 2008 Chevrolet Uplander to be able to hook up to my boat trailer. I used the universal mounting bracket that made for a nice looking set up.
The installation was not complicated and fit well. The instructions were easy to follow. The harness works very well.

This wiring was easy to install on my 2007 Chevy Uplander. Took about an hour to install, instructions were clear. I’m a gal with little mechanic know how, if that says anything. Still working great for lighting up my trailers After a year, traveled Around town & thousands of miles with Trailer in tow and not had an issue. Very satisfied with this product!!

2005 Saturn Relay
While this wiring harness is considerably more expensive than your average 4-wire plug you'd by at the local parts store, it was a breeze to install.
Removed the tail light assemblies, plug in one side, route the wires down behind the bumper, back up the other side, plug in. No drilling, no soldering, no wire taps that often cut wires, no messy electrical tape to eventually come unglued, no elaborate wiring under panels or carpet, and no unsightly wires hanging from unexpected places.
Definitely worth the extra price. Took me 5 or 6 minutes to install on a 2005 Saturn Relay. Zip tied in some strategic locations. Tested brakes, signals, and hazards. Everything worked great!
Fast processing and quick shipping!
Thanks etrailer.com!

If you need to buy an item like this, buy it from a company who deals in this business - you are much more likely to get the correct item. Had to do 2 returns to larger discounted companies before purchasing from etrailer, a company who knows what they are dealing in. Thanks!
by: Adam L.05/12/2011
Received the product quickly and was able to install this harness extremely quick. The instructions were easy to follow and it took me all of 15 minutes to hook up to my current brake lights. Could use a few more wire ties but other than that I am very pleased.

2008 Chevrolet Uplander
The wiring set was a perfect fit for the 2008 Chevy Uplander and there is a great DIY video on YouTube. A person with no mechanical ability, such as myself, can have the project finished within an hour. The only difficulty is that a Torx bit (T-30) is required for the removal of the taillight assemblies. I did read that a 1/8 Allen wrench also works, but cannot attest to this.
by: Andrew 06/27/2022
Installed a year ago. Easy installation just as shown in the video and no problems since.
by: William P.06/25/2015
Delivery was very prompt and I received everything as ordered in excellent condition. I referred to the installation video on You Tube and had the wiring installed and tested within 45 minutes.
It was a great experience to receive my order without any complications.

T one connector for our Uplander van was a breeze to install and works flawlessly. We were under time constraints and our phone rep helped us pick the fastest shipping option for the best value. She will be getting a seperate commendation letter. This will certainly not bethe first time I use or recommend e-trailers.

After trying another companies wireing for my vehicle that did not work, they thought I was crazy till I sent them pics of where I was supposed plug it to they said my vehicle has wireing they never saw before. I found this one and it mounted with no issues and took about 20 minutes.

See what our Experts say about this Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2008 Chevrolet UplanderBoth the Tekonsha T-One # 118396 and the Curt T-Connector # 56077 wiring harnesses will work for your 2008 Chevrolet Uplander like you mentioned, and out of both options I recommend the Curt simply because it's much easier to install but still produces the same result. The Curt plugs into a factory connector while the Tekonsha tees in behind the tail lights. So both options fit your vehicle, but the Curt is just easier to install since you only need to access that one side of the vehicle. Both...

You should not experience problems when towing, assuming the tongue weight of your trailer will not exceed 400 lbs and the total weight of the trailer will not exceed 4,000 lbs (or 6,000 lbs with weight distribution). I also did some research on your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander and found that the maximum recommended towing capacity for this vehicle is 3,500 pounds....
view full answer... - Equipping 2005 Saturn Relay for TowingStarting with the hitch, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Receiver Hitch, part # 75278. If the vehicle was not equipped with the tow package which included the trailer connector, you will also need the wiring harness, part # 118396 to tap into the vehicle tail light circuits. You will need a draw bar, part # 2753 and a trailer ball. For a 2 inch ball, use part # 19247 for a 1-7/8 inch ball, use part # 19260. Your trailer should have the required ball size stamped somewhere on the...
view full answer... - Installing a Brake Controller from Scratch on a 2005 Chevy UplanderTo install a brake controller on your 2005 Chevy Uplander, you will need three things. First, a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is one of the more popular brake controllers because it is easy to use and install. I have included a link to the installation details below. Next, you will need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness. You will need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118396. This is a T-One style harness that plugs in line with your vehicles...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball, and Trailer Wiring for a 2009 Chevy UplanderI spoke with my contact at Curt and she stated that, technically, Chevy stopped making an Uplander for the US market in 2008 so there is no 2009 model. They did continue to make them for the Canadian market which is why the Tech Tip states the hitch is for that market. However, she stated that as long as your 2009 Uplander has the 121 inch wheelbase, the Curt Hitch, # 13336 will fit. If yours does not have a 121 inch wheelbase, or you are not certain, she stated you could use Curt Hitch...

view full answer... - Recommendation for Complete Towing Setup on a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander 3.9 LiterI did some research on your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander and found that the maximum recommended towing capacity for this vehicle is 3,500 pounds. If your trailer is 2,600 pounds empty, you would be limited to 900 pounds or less of cargo. If 900 pounds of cargo sounds about right, you will need to check your hitch capacities and make sure it is capable of towing 3,500 pounds. You may find that a weight distribution system is needed to safely tow the maximum capacity with your vehicle. You should...
view full answer... - Is Installation of TowReady T-One Wiring Harness Similar on 2005 and 2006 Buick TerrazaI spoke with my contact at TowReady and he said that the installation process for the TowReady wiring harness # 118396 is the same on the 2005 and the 2006 Buick Terraza. I have included an installation video of this part on a 2005 Buick Terraza for you to check out.
view full answer... - 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2006 Chevrolet Uplander Without Tow Prep PackageIf your 2006 Chevrolet Uplander has a tow package connector behind the rear driver's side trim panel then Curt harness # 56077 is the correct wiring harness. It sounds like you have checked and have no such connector. If there is no tow package connector there then you can still install Tow Ready 4-Pole Harness # 118396 which will instead plug in behind each of the two taillight assemblies. The linked video shows this harness installed in a 2006 Uplander like yours.

I verified this with Draw-Tite. This particular hitch fits all styles of this vehicle year/make/model. An installation video for this item is linked for you along with a helpful article. For a 4-pole wiring harness to power trailer lights (or a lighted hitch cover like # RP86530) you can use plug-and-play harness kit # 118396. For a towing kit with ball mount and hitch balls use part...
view full answer... - Connection Point for Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 56077 on a 2007 Chevy UplanderI am sure you are looking in the right place but there are two possible options for what you might see. If a loose connector is not behind the driver side trim panel in the cargo area of your 2007 Chevy Uplander then it may already be connected to the tail light wiring. You would have to unplug that connection and insert the Curt wiring harness connectors in between that factory connection so the 4-Way end branches off of it. If that also is not present then you may need to pull up additional...
view full answer... - Installing an Electric Brake Controller in a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander with Tow PackageFrom my research your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander does not have the wiring for a 7-way trailer connector or a brake controller already installed. So the # 3015-P will not work for you. In order to install a brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 you'll need to hardwire it under your dash using our # ETBC7 kit. I've linked a video showing you this process on a 2006 Uplander. It's a different brake controller but the process will be the same. You'll also need a 4-way trailer connector...
view full answer... - Wiring for 2005 Chevy Uplander - which wire goes where?We have a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, part # 118396, for the 2005 Chevy Uplander that would make installation a breeze. If you are hard wiring in a wiring harness, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, to identify each wire. Be very careful in making sure the wiring harness you have is correct for your vehicle, as using an incorrect one could damage the electrical system and possibly the computer in your vehicle.

To install a brake controller on your vehicle you will need a 4-way at the rear of the vehicle and then use the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, along with the brake controller. To install a 4-way trailer connector at the the rear of your vehicle you will use the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118396. This harness will plug into the back of your taillights...

You would need to first start with a base plate kit. For that you would want the # BX1663. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420. The great thing about this model is that it comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2008 Chevy Uplander For your 2008 Chevy Uplander, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75278. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and has more than enough capacity to pull your 1,000 pound trailer with inflatables. It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver that will work great with a ball mount for towing or other accessories such as a bike rack that you may want to use down the line.

If you get a measurement of 113" then you have the short wheel base, and if you get a measurement of 121" then you have the long wheel base. With that said the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75278 you were looking at fits both the...

You will need to Lower the spare tire from its storage location. It will be put back in place after hitch is installed. I have included a link to the instructions for this hitch for you to review.

view full answer... - Is the Factory Transmission Cooler Good Enough for TowingThe factory transmission cooler on just about any vehicle is not really designed for towing applications. Since transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled, I do recommend adding a supplemental transmission cooler especially when towing. Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, but some vehicles may need a special fitting for installation. I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle to determine if it needs anything special. The most popular cooler is the Derale...

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. To install it will only require the # 3040-P since you have a factory 7-way....

It simply stated that with a brake system and with the trailer package you have a 5,000 lb capacity, so if you have the trailer package you have a 5,000 lb capacity. It is very odd the dealership cannot tell you what is in your vehicle though if you have the trailer package, the owner's manual...

If that red wire from the brake controller is connected to the cold side of the brake light switch on the Montana Van it will shut down the whole brake light system. I...

That is not good to hear! I do see that this harness is not a confirmed fit for your 2006 Chevy Silverado. I have sent your information over to customer service for them to look into a return. If you are still needing a harness for the 2006 Chevy, I would recommend part # C55384
