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 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 within the jack storage compartment of your rear cargo area.
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 Powered Tail Light Converter
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-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.

The product is fine, shipping was very fast. Packaging was ripped and torn I am surprised that all parts were there.

2014 Toyota Sienna
Printed instructions were lacking but the etrailer video saved the day.
The black power wire that runs from the battery to the power module was about one foot too short. It would be better to be a foot too long, than short.
by: Matt R.12/27/2023
Unfortunately, life got busy after ordering this receiver. It looked well designed, but once I installed it 18 months later, it didn't fit very well. Because we don't plan to use the full class III capacity, the 4 bolts that lined up should work.
by: Matt 12/08/2023
Fairly easy installation without the need for splicing or cutting wires. The kit also includes a ModuLite converter box that ensures your vehicle’s wiring matches that of your trailer 1

The shipping take long time..I contacted the coustmer service and they will follow my item shipping personal but can't ship another one before one month from shipping the first.
Anyway after long time I received the item but the charged me xx.x$ handle and import fees when delivered while I was charged the shipping fees when I ordered..

2014 Toyota Sienna
This is a great product. The wiring was thick and didn't feel like a cheap Chinese product. I'm happy with this wiring harness. I installed it on my 2014 Toyota Sienna. Even though the instruction video is not updated for the 2014, the instructions it came with contained a picture of the shroud and where to cut, which was the only difference (shroud size, only one cut needed on the 2014) between the 2014 Siennas and the ones from prior years.
You'll see in the picture attached, I purchased the loom to protect the wire. I would recommend doing the same.
The only thing that would have made more sense to me is if the box attached to the drivers side since that is where the battery is. There would be a lot less wire to route under the vehicle. Other than that, it worked on my first try and I'm happy with that! :)

Easy hookup with clear instructions.

It was easy to install and I like that it hides in the tire jack cubby.

2013 Toyota Sienna
The hitch is solid/sturdy. It was easy to install. I use it frequently and have only had one consistent problem. Once attached to my 2013 Toyota Sienna, ground clearance is only 7 inches. See picture. Add the weight of my boat, and that clearance drops to 3 inches. I realize that most of that blame is owned by Toyota, but still, there's at lease another inch or so that could have been gained through improved design of the hitch. I had to add an Air Lift 1000 to bring it back to 7 inches clearance.

2013 Toyota Sienna
Harness plugged right in, I had plenty of wire for the connection to the battery. I routed the trailer plug wire through the bumper support and slid it out the rear underbody panel.
by: Justin 11/15/2023
Wiring Harness works as it should and not too difficult to install.
by: Dean 06/11/2023
One year later - absolutely no issues with the wiring harness. I followed all of the instructions and things went well. During the install I ran into an issue of the long wire that was going to the battery , was a bit short (despite following the directions ), but a short splice of a compatible wire has fixed the issue. No issues with connecting to my trailer harness. I have always added a touch of dielectric paste to keep the connections good and water out. Proper length - no issues with reaching. Works every time, no glitches. Very satisfied with this product.

2011 Toyota Sienna
The hitch fit perfectly, looks great on the van and the wire harness installed easily. One suggestion before installation is watch the videos here on etrailer.com and it makes your installation easier!
by: JMS09/05/2023
The product worked well and was easy to install. However, the power wire that runs to the battery is about 6" too short. I was able to make it work, but barely. I nearly needed to extend it. If it were 6-12" longer it would have worked so much better.
However the instructions were easy to follow and I greatly appreciate the videos from eTrailer.
by: Michael 07/07/2023
I installed this myself. Took me maybe two hours. Its been a while but I believe I found a youtube video for wiring my specific car and just followed the directions. It worked the first time I rented a trailer and still works now more than a year later.
by: Greg07/17/2023
So far it has been just fine good quality hitch . so far i have only used it for a cargo carrier worked great .

Plenty of heavy gauge wire to complete installation.
Good instructions.

Worked great for our 2016 Toyota Sienna SE -- straightforward install, especially if you've done anything like this before. E-trailer's video install demos make it a snap. A great value - happy to recommend it to others.

Horrible customer service! Next to comcast this is the most frustrating company I have ever had to deal with. They sent me the wrong part 2 times. I even contacted the manufacturer to confirm they were sending me the wrong part and etrailer still don’t seem to understand their error. I have communicated with no less than 8 different people and still don’t have the right part. I am sure they will want to charge me a classy “restocking fee” when I have been waiting on them for weeks. If anyone actually cared this would have been an easy fix. You are better off shopping elsewhere…

I am very sorry that we have not been able to provide the harness that will work for you. I wanted to let you know that there not would be a restocking fee charge for sending back the harness. You would receive a full credit for it.
by: Eric 03/14/2023
The wiring harness was very easy to install. The hardest part was running the power wire up to the battery but I was able to find a safe path along the frame. The rest of the unit tucked nicely in the spare tire area and the wires run under the carpet so it's not seen day to day.

- Troubleshooting T-One Tee Connectors Not Fitting a 2016 Toyota SiennaThank you for the photos! The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498 you purchased is for a 2016 Toyota Sienna SE, but the connectors you have in your photos look like you have a non-SE model so you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56261 instead. If you look at the connector photos for the Curt wiring they seem to match with the photos you sent in. I'm also linking an installation video on a 2016 Sienna (non-SE) for you to check out.

- Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Socket on 2013 Toyota SiennaIf your 2013 Toyota Sienna already has a 4-pole wiring harness like # 118498 then you can convert this to a 7-way by adding our kit # ETBC7. This kit includes all the parts needed to have a fully-functioning 7-way trailer socket. If you do not have a 4-pole already you will also need the item above. If your trailer has electric drum brakes you will also require a trailer brake controller be installed inside the vehicle to activate those trailer brakes. The # ETBC7 kit includes all parts...

If you have the LE or XLE then you will want to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118648. They both install in the same way which requires you to remove the tail light housings, plugging in the t-one connectors, and...

For that you would want the # 118498 which is a confirmed fit. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake...
view full answer... - Recommended Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for Ground Clearance on 2018 Toyota SiennaThere is not a minimum clearance required by law for a trailer hitch, so you simply want to make sure you are able to travel without bottoming out your receiver. For instance, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13105 has a dimension of 12 inches from the inside top of the receiver which means approximately 9 inches from the ground to the bottom edge due to the lower the side brackets. If you are concerned about that ground clearance restriction, then I...

For your XLE (Executive Luxury Edition), I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498. This will need one wire run up to the battery for needed power, but other than that it will be a relatively quick plug and play option. I have found Tekonsha wiring harnesses to be the...

They both have a maximum maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500lbs and maximum tongue weight of 525lbs. Both hitches are bolt-on installations and have a black powder coat finish for superior rust protection. The one key difference is that the # e98853 is not rated...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness with Powered Converter for 2014 Toyota SiennaSince your 2014 Toyota Sienna uses a separate wiring system a circuit protected modulite is required to protect the van's wiring. That's why all the harnesses confirmed to fit your Sienna have the powered converter. Out of the selection I suggest the Tekonsha # 118498. It does plug in behind the tail lights, like you said and will give you a 4-way trailer connector on your van. I've attached an install video for you to take a look at.

Installation will not require any trimming of the fascia, but the under-body panel shown in the instructions which I've linked will need to be trimmed or removed and permanently left off. If you elect to trim the panel, it won't be visible at from the rear of the vehicle. As you can see in the linked video, the hitch is a perfect fit. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll...

- Which Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Toyota Sienna XLEIt seems that you have the wrong wiring kit. From the 2015 model year up to the 2021, the Tekonsha # 118498 is only a fit for SE models of the Toyota Sienna which used different taillight assemblies than the other models. For models other than the SE, you'll use # 118648. I've provided a photo showing the differences in the connectors. There isn't an adapter kit, unfortunately. You'll need to install the proper harness kit. I've linked to an install video for the # 118648.

- Why is Trailer Wiring that Draws from Vehicle Battery Better than Non-Powered KitThe benefit to a non-powered trailer wiring harness is that it's a bit easier to install since you don't have to run a wire up to the battery of the vehicle. The advantage to a powered kit is that it does a better job protecting the taillight circuits of your vehicle. Instead of drawing power for the trailer taillights from the vehicle taillights it only uses the vehicle taillights as signals and then draws all the power for the trailer taillights from the vehicle battery. In the long run...

Then you will use the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to add a 7-way and connections for your brake controller which is required for your trailer brake function. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your brake controller because it is a proportional controller that will apply the trailer brakes at the...

view full answer... - Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Toyota SiennaThe hidden trailer hitch I recommend for your 2020 Toyota Sienna is the Draw-Tite # 76112 because it is the only hitch of the three that is rated for use with a weight distribution system like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0600, which not only speaks to its overall strength but is important if you do plan on towing. I have added a photo showing this hitch installed on a Sienna so you can see exactly how hidden the crosstube is. I have also added a link to a video install of this hitch so you...

- Differences Between the Curt Wiring Harness and Tow Ready Harness for the 2011 Toyota SiennaHonestly, the only difference between the Curt Wiring Harness # C56106 that you referenced and the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118498 in terms of application and function is the brand. Both will do the exact same thing and will work well on your 2011 Toyota Sienna.

- What is the Best Way to Find the Stop Light Wire for a Brake Controller on a 2011 Toyota SiennaUsing a multimeter can be tricky sometimes, which is why we recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. This tester has a light in it and lights up when voltage is detected. I cannot verify the specific color for the brake switch wire you need. Wiring colors change frequently, and I would not want to give you false information. Testing the wires with a circuit tester is the only sure way to know. When you do test the wires, make sure you find the one that shows a signal only when...

Its been a year already? Wow! Since I dont have a truck, I use my minivan and aluminum trailer frequently. I have no regrets buying this wire harness and would buy again.
