Installation of Tekonsha T-One Connector
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 you've plugged in the T-connector, run the body harness up to your car battery and connect the wires per the included instructions.
Once installation is complete, the 7-way 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 7-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
ModuLite Powered Tail Light Converter
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a 2-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's 3-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
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.
Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter splices into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located to the left of the steering column, through a grommet in the engine compartment.
This adapter is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller after splicing into your vehicle's wiring. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

2017 Toyota Tacoma
I did have two small missing pieces of hardware, the screw or nut option for grounding at the drivers side tail light were not to be found. I got a 6mm flange nut at the hardware store so no problem. This wiring harness exceeded my expectations. I did not want a 'universal fit' style harness. This harness absolutely fit my 2017 Tacoma like it was right from the factory assembly line. I spent 40 years troubleshooting non-automotive wire harness's on various industrial and military equipment and found the quality of the electrical components used in this harness to be the best available. Highly recommend.

Fit perfectly on my '19 Tacoma SR. A big plus is the video & email tech support & advice given during installation. Well done.
by: Robert08/01/2019
Very straight forward installation. It does take a while to snake the wiring harness from the rear to the battery. My only problem was that the instructions for installing the wiring butt connectors did not state that they needed to be crimped. These were a new type for me, with heat activated sealant, and I assumed that the heat made the connection as well. Live and learn! I chose this wiring harness as it had a 7 pin connector, which plugged into a 7 pin/4 pin socket (etrailer item #40975), which perfectly replaced the OEM blank.

Good product, exactly what we needed. Not the easiest thing to install though.

2018 Toyota Tacoma
This wiring harness worked perfectly for my 2018 tacoma! The kit came with everything I needed including plenty of zip ties and plastic conduit to make it look professional. The only complaint that I have is that it didn't come with the factory style connector that fits in the bumper. I did purchase that separately and the wires still fit in it the same as the under the bumper connector that came with the kit. This kit fit as it should and was well worth the money for me!
by: Ben09/06/2019
2019 Toyota Tacoma
All the wiring and connectors fit perfectly for my 2019 Tacoma. The quality of the harness was very good and I appreciated the small touches like taping the ends of the wires going to the battery to make it easier to run up the body of the truck.
The instructions are not super well written, but watching videos of similar harnesses got me where I needed to go.
A couple complaints are that my kit did not have double sided tape (instructions indicated it should have been included). I also ended up needing longer zip ties in some places since the provided ones were short. The instructions indicated that there would be a ground stud in the drivers side tail light bay, but there was not one. I ended up grounding the harness by attaching it to the vehicle frame, so a self tapping screw would have been a good inclusion.
Lastly many trucks/SUVs have built in spots on the bumpers to simply snap in the port, so I would have liked to see an option to swap out the generic port with one that fit my vehicle (I ended up ordering one separately and used it instead of the included one)
by: Ronald 12/11/2019
Install went well, penetrating the firewall and connecting to the brake lead where the two hardest parts. Have not towed with it yet or even connected to a trailer, so the verdict is out.

- 7-Way Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendations for a 2022 Toyota TacomaIt sounds like you don't have the factory tow package so for your application I recommend using the Tekonsha Wiring Kit # 22117 which tees in behind your tail lights and then comes with everything else you need to have a fully-functioning 7-Way connector. Then I recommend cutting off the connector for the brake controller wiring and hardwiring the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR because it installs out of the way and then you can install the control knob in one of the cutouts on your...

view full answer... - Purpose of 10 Amp Mini Fuse Included with Tekonsha OEM Wiring Harness # 22117I reached out to my contact at Tekonsha regarding the OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # 22117. He said the kit was recently changed to include the 10 amp fuse to use if necessary on certain vehicles. You do not need to use the fuse and for the majority of applications it simply serves as an extra part. I have included the complete written installation instructions that you can check out as well.

This is because most trailers run on a 2-wire system and the separate brake and turn signals from your Tacoma's 3-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. Yes, we do offer a 7-way connector that will mount in the nice factory hole to the left of your license plate on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. It is...

I am not aware of any models with the under dash brake controller plug and no trailer connector or vice versa. That said, there are other models with this configuration and the...

- Troubleshooting Trailer Lights That Dont Work with 2017 Toyota Tacoma but do with Chevy SilveradoSince the trailer is working just fine with another pickup you will want to check any fuses or relays that carry the trailer lighting functions. I tried looking this up in the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma but there isn't a list for what the various fuse locations are for. These may be listed on the cover for the fuse compartment. If the fuses and relays look good then you need to use a tester like part # PTW2992 to check the pins on your 4-Way like part...

- 7-Way Wiring Harness For A 2018 Ford Transit 250Hello John, does your 2018 Ford Transit T250 have the factory tow package? If so, you can simply use the Curt T-Connecter # C55774. If it is not factory tow package equipped, you will need the Curt T-Connector # C56327 as well as the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This will include all of the components needed to install the 7-way, including all of the necessary wired for a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 since it is our most durable...

If the trailer doesn't have a 7-way, then either the trailer doesn't have brakes or perhaps it's a boat trailer with a surge coupler. In any event, if you want to install a brake controller, you'll need to install a 7-way trailer connector along with...

I really like the matte black powder coating that they use on this hitch. It will do well to resist scratching and chipping. It also blends nicely with the underbody of the vehicle.

If your truck already had a 4-way connector, or you need both a 4-way and a 7-way, then you would want the # ETBC7 kit. You're also going to need a brake controller.
