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.

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!

I will recommend this to others.

1994 Ford F-150

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.



by:

Good product, fit was perfect and easy to install



by:

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.

Still working perfectly. No issues whatsoever!!!!

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.

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



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.

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.

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:

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!

  • Installation/Compatibility of Prodigy Brake Controller with Single Axle Trailer with Electric Brakes
    The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 and P3 # 90195 trailer brake controllers both are compatible with electric trailer brakes as well as electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes. You can use these excellent controllers with either brake type by selecting the appropriate operation mode at set-up. If your F-250 has a factory 7-way trailer socket you'll use wiring adapter # 3035-P to plug in the Prodigy to the under-dash port. If it does not have a factory 7-way then instead you'll use our # ETBC7...

  • How Would EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connectors with Built-in Seal # 319-R7-02 Install
    If your 1994 Ford F-150 has a 7-way installed on it already the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connectors with Built-in Seal # 319-R7-02 will easily plug in line with it once you remove the 7-way from your truck's wiring and then plug this in place. Then on the trailer side you have to remove your current 7-way and then wire the trailer side connector in it's place.

  • Replacement 7-Way Socket for 1997 Ford F-350 That Has Two Separate Vehicle Connectors
    Thank you for providing a photo of the wiring harness you need for your 1997 Ford F-350 heavy-duty diesel truck. 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. For reference I have linked a page showing all accessory items for your truck.

  • Trailer Connector Recommended for 2021 Ford Ranger
    The only trailer wiring harnesses we currently offer would provide a 7-way trailer connector like the Tekonsha # 22124. At the point where the harness plugs into the 7-way trailer connector, you could use a T-connector like part # 118384 which would provide a 4 pole connector as well. Another option would be to use an adapter like part # PK12716. Unfortunately, the # 118316 wouldn't fit your Ranger.

  • Breakaway Battery Kit and Brake Controller for Electric-Over-Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
    For a trailer breakaway battery and charger you can use the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # 20400. This kit has a built in charger to charge the battery while connected to the tow vehicle and has an automatic shut-off when the battery is fully charged.

  • Can the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper for a 1996 Ford F-150 Tow a 4,000 Pound Trailer
    The Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper with installation kit # 20002-92230 is rated for 800 pounds tongue weight and 8,000 pounds gross trailer weight. However, you will need to consult the truck owners manual to determine the towing capacity of your 1996 Ford 1-50. Whichever is lower, the bumper or the truck, is the capacity you need to go by. Another option is to just install a higher rated trailer hitch, # 75038, which is rated for 800/8,000 pounds as well. But again you will go by...

  • Brake Controller Installation 1993 Ford F350
    Actually, Ford didn't equip their trucks with the plug in brake controller provision until the 1994 model year so you'll need to hardwire the # 90885 Tekonsha P2 brake controller. It's a pretty easy process. How you'd proceed will depend on how the truck's currently equipped. If it doesn't currently have a trailer connector of any kind, you'd install the # 118316 to access the taillight circuits and use the # ETBC7 install kit which includes an adapter that would plug into the 4 pin connector...

  • Recommended 7-way Connector To Bypass Current Trailer Wiring harness On 1990 Ford F-250
    It sounds like you are wanting a new 7-way connector on your 1990 Ford F-250 that bypasses all of your current wiring.

  • 4-Way and Fifth Wheel 7-Way Recommendation for 1995 Ford F-250

It will operate independently of your truck's factory trailer wiring. If your current 7-way at the rear of your truck is working fine all you need is the part # 41157 to install a fifth wheel 7-way up in the bed of the truck. This will plug in line with a functioning 7-way at the rear of the truck and allow you to install an additional one up...
