Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, near the spare tire compartment.


Once installation is complete, the 4-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 dielectric grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Needed better instructions on install for my vehicle. Had to call for support help that was unsure himself. Wiring access was in compartment with spare tire. Had to remove for access. Once access the wiring was easy.



by:

This wire fit perfectly in my 2019 Highlander but I was never able to use it. I didn't realize that I needed the factory tow package for this to work, the label wasn't on the listing at that time. I ended up having to purchase one without the factory two option.

I installed this product on the Toyota Highlander I inherited from my sisters estate. I purchased a 5' x 8' trailer to pull behind it. I discovered the wiring harness was too corroded to work. Found Hopkins Custom Fit wiring harness on-line, it installed easily and works well. I just keep the harness in the back of the car and feed it out the back hatch to connect to the trailer. Works good!

Connectors match factory harness on my 2015 Highlander, but, of course, it is missing the strain relief, protection and gromet. External flat plug is an exact match so it will fit the factory bracket, but the plastic mount (HM48595) they make for this is better, just get a couple of stainless steel screws and nuts to attach it and you won't have a rusted mess like the factory bracket. I ended up splicing the external plug onto my factory harness to replace the factory plug with a broken off ground pin. This seemed the simplest way to keep all the factory strain relief, etc. Would have preferred the splice not be under the car, but I'm hoping adhesive lined heat shrink will protect the solder joints adequately.

So easy. and I found a useful [online] video. I love that I can leave the wires in the storage compartment inside the car and just run it under the weather stripping on the rare occasions when I need it. Trailer wires have always tended to get rusted out in my experience. super easy!



by:

This wiring harness came in really fast as well with the hitch but I made the mistake and ordered the wrong one so I'll be returning it for a refund. I don't expect any issues with that either!



by:

harness was plug and play and install was easy. One trick I would says is just remove the plastic base trim at the door latch and then lift up the storage tray to get the plug. No need to remove the whole tray and such.

I am sorry that the harness did not arrived when you had expected it to. I will have customer service reach out to you.

Easy enough to install. Turns out I did need the light control module (dealer gave me bad info)

I have received two orders from etrailer and have been extremely pleased with their responsiveness...fastest I have ever seen for this type of product. I would recommend everybody to use "etrailer" for items they need. Ron Buske

  • How to Determine 2015 Toyota Highlander Has Factory Taillight Converter for Trailer Wiring
    Here's what you'll want to do to easily determine if your 2015 Toyota Highlander has the factory converter for trailer wiring. Check out the install video link I attached and fast forward to the 4:00 minute mark. This is the portion of the install video for the # C56217 that covers installing the needed fuse to activate the converter box of the kit. If your Highlander already has a fuse in the shows slot you have the converter already and all you'd need is the # 56042 for trailer wiring....

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander with Tow Package
    Yes, the Hopkins 4-way part # HM11141825 that you referenced will simply plug right into the port at the rear of your 2018 Toyota Highlander and then you'd be ready to go. I attached a picture of where you'll find the port at for the harness on your vehicle as well as an install video for you to check out too.

    The trailer hitch I highly recommend for your 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid is the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7250 because it offers a concealed crosstube so your Highlander keeps a clean look. I have added a link to a video install of this hitch on a 2019 Highlander as well as a link to the written instructions.

  • No Lights On 2017 Toyota Highlander After Installing Hopkins Plug-In Wiring Harness for Factory Tow
    I have personally seen this issue a lot. The good news is that it's a simple fix, you need the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # HM11141845 which has the converter harness whereas the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness part # HM11141825 you have now only has the trailer connector harness. I know what your next question is going to be as well, can you purchase just the converter harness but unfortunately this is not offered by the...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE
    Installing a 4 pin trailer wiring harness is a plug and play proposition on all models of your generation of Highlander. Since your Highlander doesn't have the trailer package, you'd want to use # 118449 which installs using the two connectors under the cargo floor right at the threshold for the rear hatch. The kit includes the converter assembly, the trailer connector that plugs into the other connector and the fuse that would need to be installed in the fuse box in the engine compartment....

  • No Power To The Hopkins Plug In Wiring Harness On A 2019 Toyta Highlander
    The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM11141825 you have is more than likely not the source of the issue. Most likely it is a blown fuse or missing fuse on the driver's side underneath the steering column, and it is not a super uncommon situation for these fuses to be missing from the manufacturer. This should be a 7.5A fuse labeled "IG1 NO.2"; consult the diagram on the fuse box for the exact location. Check the fuse if there is one and see if it is...

  • Recommended Hitch, Brake Controller, and Wiring Harness for a 2013 Toyota Highlander
    I would be happy to make some suggestions for you. I will start with a hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75726. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2013 Toyota Highlander with included hardware. This hitch is compatible with weight distribution systems. I have linked an installation video below. There isn't a harness available that will provide you with the needed 7-way connector so you will need two separate ones. For a 4-way wiring harness...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2018 Toyota Highlander with Factory Installed Tow Package
    The custom trailer wiring harness for your 2018 Toyota Highlander with the tow package is part # HM11141825; however, it's only a 4-way connector. To get a 7-way on your Highlander start with the # HM11141825 4-way and then use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. The kit plugs into the already installed 4-way for the lighting funtions and includes all of the wiring needed for the additional functions. I've linked a video from when we installed the # ETBC7 kit on a 2014 Highlander...

  • Parts Needed to Equip a 2017 Toyota Highlander for Towing
    The 5950 GVWR of your 2017 Toyota Highlander includes the total weight of the vehicle. When you are towing a trailer it is the sum of the vehicle weight (which includes passengers, cargo, and any other optional equipment installed on the vehicle) and the Tongue Weight (TW). If your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer only weighs 3,400 lbs then you have 2,950 lbs to work with. You will want to double check your weights and your manual as well just to make sure and for any specific instructions. If...

  • How to Determine if 2008 Toyota Highlander is Equipped with Factory Taillight Converter
    Luckily, rather than trying to understand the VIN check, the easiest way to determine if your Highlander is equipped with the taillight converter is to get a quick peek at the 10-pin connector it would plug into. The connector is located under the dash, between the emergency brake pedal and the brake pedal, as shown in the provided photo. If there's nothing plugged into the connector, you'd want to use the # HM11141845, as the trailer wiring won't work correctly without a taillight converter....

  • Troubleshooting Loss Of Trailer Running Light Function On A 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE
    Hey Johnathan, Since you've already checked the fuses and found everything was fine that leads me to believe that the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness # HM11141825 has an internal short. I recommend unplugging it from the factory connector and then turn on your running lights. You can then test the factory connector using a circuit tester # PTW2992 to see if the signal is coming through. If it is then we know the # HM11141825 just needs to be replaced. If the signal isn't coming...

It is a proportional controller with an LCD display, storable settings, 3 boost levels, runs continuous diagnostics, and is transferable between vehicles.

    For your 2017 Toyota Highlander that has a full sized spare, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class IV Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # DT65MR. This hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle and will allow your full size spare tire to remain stowed under the Highlander. I have attached an image that shows the hitch installed on your 2017 Highlander with the spare tire still in place. This Class IV trailer hitch will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening and a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds,...

    The Curt # C13394 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Toyota Highlander, however, in our installation notes we have that you will be able to store a full sized spare underneath after the hitch is installed unless the spare is on an aluminum rim. The aluminum rims are too wide to fit.

  • How to Determine if a 2019 Toyota Highlander Has a Tow Package
    Basically what it boils down to is that if you have the tow package you'll already have a 4-Way trailer wiring connector on your 2019 Toyota Highlander so if you don't already have one odds are you need a wiring kit with the converter like the Curt # C56217, Tekonsha # 118449, or Hopkins # HM11141845. The other way to tell is to check and see if there is already a converter on the wiring harness in the rear hatch area. If you check out the attached picture you can get an idea of where...

You should be able to find a white connector like you see on the right hand side of the picture I've attached. If there is nothing plugged into that connector then you don't have the tow package. If there is something plugged into it, it should be a wiring harness with a converter (like is shown) which means you do have the tow package. If you do have the tow package I recommend the Hopkins harness,...

If you plan to use the hitch for carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack then the only other thing you need is that accessory and you're good to go.
