Installation

T-One Connection Location Points

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath your vehicle, along the driver's-side frame rail.


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.

Thanks again for having what I needed and for the fast processing. Had to wait for a day of rain but, had it in the following day. Plugged it in and tested it. Good to go. Now I can pull a trailer.

I installed the trailer lights connecter adapter into the wiring harness at the rear of my 1996 Ford F-150 today. The wires were exactly were the instructions said they would be located. With some effort after engaging the relief clip I was able to pull apart the wiring harness. Installing the trailer light connecter adapter went easily. I only had to pull lose one wiring harness holder from the frame to give more slack in the wiring harness to make room for adapter to fit. After installation I tested the lights and everything (turns signals, tail lights and brake lights) all worked properly. The quality of the adapter looks great just like it was a factory original part. I expect to have properly functioning trailer lights for a long time now. Thanks.

This product is just what i needed to connect to my trailer harness. No cutting or splicing, so you get no corrosion. Just unplug truck wire harness plug in this in and you are ready to connect trailer lights. great product . couldn't find this in stores either. etrailer.com saved me lots of time. easy ordering and quick shipping only a couple days and I had the product. Thank You.

Im having trouble with the ground wire trailer lights intermitently work or dont work or some work and not others after investigating found the insulation on the ground wire coming from the product i purchased had come out of the plug at the trailer connection causing the wire to fray and corrode and a few strands of the wire have broke. i have had to add a seperate ground wire to help .

Thanks for the follow up. Grounding issues are usually the main problem with trailer lights intermittently working. Your trouble shooting and solution is exactly what we would recommend. If you need additional information here are some help articles that assist in identifying and solving wiring issues.

The products I ordered were received timely, installed easily, and were made of quality material. I look forward to years of quality service from these items. The service staff members at etrailer are kind, courteous, knowledgeable. I would highly recommend etrailer for your trailering needs. The only recommendation for improvement would be to tweek your on-line order tracking system. I received the items before I could track their whereabouts through the on-line order tracking system. Great site for quick reliable service!

Product works great and installed perfectly just as the instructions said it would. Install only took about 5 minutes and was super simple. I didn't need any tools except for a Flathead screwdriver in order to release the old crappy clips that were on my truck wiring harness. My truck didn't have a trailer light hookup when I bought it so this item worked perfectly for what I needed and was way easier than splicing wires and making my own. Defiantly worth it and would buy again if I buy another truck and it doesn't have trailer lights.

Perfect fit for my 1993 Ford F-150. Easily installed with no hassle. Works perfect and solved the trailer light issue.

A waste of money and most important my time, Put it in my old bronco to keep the original wiring
Super easy to install just unplug and plug the T and good to go. never use my bronco to pull trailers had it only as an emergency so on December 2018 I need to pull a trailer for my kids quads the wire didn't work, ended up heading to Autozone to buy a universal and spacing my wires in my bronco. Really disappointed with your product.



by:

Having an older truck that’s been temperamental about the rear lights lately, I was very pleased that this plugged straight in and worked right away with no disruptions. I was dreading replacing a previous owners abomination of electrical wizardry. All I had to do was snip the old 4 pin wiring away and clean it up so as not to short anything out, then plug in the adapter to the truck’s wiring harness and to the new 7/4 pin plug and I was done.

1995 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Product #118316 T connector to factory lights on a 1995 Ford F-350 I was having trouble with my trailer lights so a friend of mine told me to buy a T connector, well I tried all of the normal places and they didnt have them, then a saw a video on U Tube and the guy was saying these little T Connectors from etrailer work great and are so simple to use, well he was not fooling I ordered one and it came sooner then expected plugged it in to my truck lights and boom all of the trailer lights work like a charm. Do not fool around with other retailers junk, Buy the right part the first time BUY etrailer you cannot go wrong.

Very satisfied Stacy was really helpful,and harness works great good experience

This thing is awesome! Took a grand total of 5 minutes to install and route to my bumper where it was needed. Don't forget to get a few zip ties to secure the wire where it needs to be!

Still working great! Im surprised the little plastic cap over the end is still in tact, but it is!



by:

Easiest wiring install in my life. Unplug one connection and insert the T connection. Plug it back in and voila! Had the bracket to install on the rear bumper, found a spot, drilled a couple holes and it’s there forever now. Couple tie wraps to clean it up and you’re done in 10 minutes.
Works perfectly and should last as long as the truck does.

1995 Ford F-250 and F-350

Fit perfectly, no problems. Used with 4 pole to 7 pole connector 30717 on 1995 F 350. Truck had a pigtail for a brake controller wire, but deadheads at firewall. Ran separate wires to pre plumbed 30717 to connect brake contoller

Just bought a trailer. Figured I would have to spend a lot of time splicing and wiring underneath my truck. Found this website and was able to find the part I needed quickly. There was even an installation instruction video. Received the part in three days and had it installed and working in less than 5 minutes. Thank you etrailer.

A perfect fit as guaranteed. After washing the years of crud off the factory harness of my 1994 Ford Supercab the plug-in adapter fit perfectly into place and by boat trailer lights worked beautifully.



by:
Ford Edge

The wiring harness was going to be delivered by UPS on Tuesday but came in regular mail 3 day early. The harness seems well made. Very easy to install, took around 3 minutes. Worth every cent. I'm very happy with the wiring harness. I might order a hitch and wiring harness for our Edge Limited next.



by:

I was very happy with the products and service I received from this company. The product was exactly what I ordered and was delivered in a timely manner. I've already installed them on my trucks. I will definitely use them again in the future

After a year the wiring harness is dependably working and I would highly recommend etrailer to everyone.

  • How To Replace A 7-Way Round Pin Connector With A 7-Way Blade Connector On A 1992 Ford F150
    To change your 7-way round pin connector on your vehicle to a 7-way blade connector the wire connections are different. The best way to connect the wires on your vehicle to the 7-way blade connector is to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, and to test the wires for function. It is confusing to try to wire by color because the wire colors can vary. I can tell you what function goes to what location on the 7-way blade connector on the vehicle.

  • Brake Controller and Wiring for a 1990 Ford F-250 Towing a 2 Tandem Axle Trailer
    I can help you pick out a brake controller and figure out if your truck has been wired already or not. First lets start with the brake controller. I highly recommend the Tekonsha P3 # 90195, because it is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how the tow vehicle is slowing or stopping and applies the trailer's brakes with the same intensity. It also has a full display screen instead of codes that need deciphering. The P2 # 90885 is like the P3's little brother, it has...

  • Does Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch 41904 Require Relocating Spare Tire on 1995 F-250 Diesel
    Draw-Tite Class IV and V 2-inch Ultra Frame hitch # 41904 will fit your 1995 8-foot-bed diesel F-250 if it has a standard or step bumper. The only fit limitation with this hitch is the bed length; this hitch only fits 8-foot beds as noted in the linked instructions. You'll need only basic hand tools and a torque wrench like # ALL944001. It will not be necessary to relocate the factory spare tire underneath the box. If a larger-than-standard tire is used as a spare, it may have to be relocated....

  • Adding a 7-Way Wiring Connector to a 1993 Ford F-150
    While I'm not sure if the wiring for a 7-Way is pre-ran for your 1993 Ford F-150, I can say that if it does exist you will find it at the back of your pickup typically attached to the frame. You will need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to verify which wires you need to connect the Draw-Tite # 20023 to. If that wiring isn't there you can use the T-One # 118316 which tees in behind your bumper on the driver's side, and then install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 for a fully...

  • Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1994 Ford F-150
    The Tekonsha P3, # 90195, is a good brake controller with a lot of features. If you have brake controller experience, tow multiple trailers, and like customization, then it would be a good choice. If you are new to brake controllers and need one that works well and is easy to use and setup, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. Depending on how your truck is wired, you may need additional parts. First, if your 1994 Ford F-150 came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector: All you will...

    To install a Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 in your 1995 Ford F-150 without any factory trailer wiring, you will first need to install a 4-pole harness # 118316 and then convert that to a 7-way type connector using our Brake Controller Install kit # ETBC7. You will use the wiring harness # 3035-P to plug the controller in at the port under the dash.

  • Using T-1 Connector # 118316 and 4 to 7-Way Adapter # 37185 to Provide 7-Way for 1996 Ford F-350
    For an easy installation that would require no cutting or splicing, using the Hopkins 4 to 7-Way Adapter, part # 37185 in conjunction with the T-1 harness, part # 118316 would be the way to go. The T-1 Harness would plug inline with the factory harness usually located at the rear of the frame rail on the drivers side. The 4 pole provided by the T-1 would then easily plug into the adapter. The remaining wires would connect as shown in the diagram I have linked to below.

  • Converting a 6-Way Trailer Connector to a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 1994 Ford F-350
    Converting a 6-Way connector to a 7-Way connector will be easy. A 6-Way connector already has most of the functions used by a 7-Way, the only one missing is a circuit for reverse lights. If the trailer you plan to tow does not need a reverse light circuit, you will not even need to add one. You will need a 7-Way RV style vehicle side trailer connector. I recommend going with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow, # HM48470, since it handles 7-Way, 5-Way, and 4-Way trailer connectors. In order...

    As long as the 1994 Ford F-350 came with a factory trailer connector (4-Way or 7-way are the most common) you can use the Tekonsha Wire Replacement, # 3035-P. This harness fits your truck and the Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller, # TK90160. I have included links to the installation details for both parts for you.

  • Brake Controller Installation 1988 Ford F-350
    Ford didn't start equipping their trucks with the plug-and-play brake controller provision until the 1994 model year, so you'll need to hardwire the controller. This is a pretty simple process. First, you'll need to choose a controller. I prefer a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller will sense the rate that the tow vehicle is braking, and will send the appropriate amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so the trailer and tow vehicle...

These two plugs are a different configuration than the plugs on the 4-pole harnesses we offer, such as Curt # C55316 and Tow Ready # 118316. The 7-pole harness with the two-plugs on the vehicle side is not available as an aftermarket item; you will need to visit your Ford dealer for an OEM replacement.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Not Functioning When Headlights are On
    It sounds like there is too much amperage being drawn on your trailer when the headlights are on and it is too much for the trailer so everything shuts off.

If the grounds are good you might need to convert your trailer lights to LED lights so as to minimize the draw on the trailer light circuits.
