Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your rear cargo area, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will have to remove some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead to the power cable stud on the driver's side and connect the wire using the ring terminal. Then insert the included 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in your trunk.
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.

T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 118683
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (68 Customer Reviews)
Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.by: David06/13/2024
The install manual is 8 years out of date! My 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge is a very different vehicle under the interior covers.
The power lead uses butt connectors, which are crap, when all that is needed is a two pole connector to plug into the vehicle battery connection box on top of the starter
battery.

It’s my experience that installing wiring harnesses takes much longer than advertised if you want to complete a more “finished” installation. That is not the fault of the product, but a choice by the installer. This T-One wiring harness came with all of the components necessary for an installation on a 2022 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription. It is really just plug and play. The hardest part is getting access to the locations to make the easy connections. Be prepared to remove interior finish panels, or find someone with long, thin, and flexible arms (!!!).
I can highly recommend this product.

Bought the harness to wire my volvo to pull a small trailer.
Installed easily and works well.

I have a 2019 Volvo XC 90. It took about 2 hours to install The Drawtite hitch and taillight kit. Taillights worked perfectly. No programming the cars computer. Total price etrailer: less than $300. Volvo wanted $1,600.
etrailers sales person: home run. Very nice.

Simple install and looks great!

The directions are OK except you have to remove the "threshold" before you can remove the side panels. Also there is a little cap over the anchors that has to be removed to gain access to the hold down bolt. The battery on a Volvo 2019 is not in the engine compartment, but under the spare tire. Much easier to tie into.

Install was pretty straight forward. Like the ability to store the connector as I don't use it often.

This was incredibly easy to install with the online video. The wires were all plenty long enough which is where a lot of companies cut corners since copper is very expensive. Thanks for selling a great product, it is appreciated.

Frankly working with etrailer is as easy as working with [online retailer], the one big difference is the personal interaction and the review/installation videos. I installed the wiring on my wife's Volvo just by watching the video and I am NOT mechanical in any way.
etrailer runs the way, I run my business. Customer-centric, communicative and attention to detail.
Well done!!
by: Jeffrey08/20/2021
Be careful loosening the bolt to the negative battery terminal. The little box connected to the negative cable is only soldered or brazed together and while loosening the nut mine broke in half, rendering my car undrivable. Of course in the video, the nut is very easy to get off and there is no mention of the fact this piece can break.
I'm also not sure why the loop connector doesn't fit the battery terminal when this harness is supposedly made for the vehicle.

The wiring fits perfectly and is easy to install. I would have given 5 stars if the instructions were easier to read/see. I couldn't even tell what the pictures were because the quality was so bad. I had to take interior panels off and feel around to find where the plugs were.
by: Jhf02/13/2020
Fairly price, clear instructions for the type of vehicle, easy to install. I used it with a to light up several different trailers with no issues

- Comparing Hidden Hitch and Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receivers For a Volvo XC90Personally I prefer the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH27FRT over the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT82GR. Both these are confirmed to fit the 2016-2022 model years of the Volvo XC90. The Stealth Hitches receiver is made in the USA and I find has a much better quality. They use a durable stainless steel block for the connection parts under the rear fascia which I feel will last over the years versus the powder coated steel the Draw-Tite uses. Do note the...
view full answer... - Is Reprogramming Necessary for Stealth Hitches Wiring Installation on 2018 Volvo XC90 T8Reprogramming will be necessary with the installation of the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring # SH36FR. Unlike other wiring harnesses, this includes a wiring control module that you will plug your vehicle wiring harness into. Without taking it to the dealer to be programmed the trailer lights will not work. This wiring harness is also different when compared to the # 118683 since it will give you a 7-way along with a 4-way adapter and not just a 4-way. If you know you will be...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Light Wiring For a 2019 Volvo XC90 T6 InscriptionI recommend pairing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683 with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76194 you found for your 2019 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription. This harness will provide you with a 4-way flat to operate the lights on most small trailers. It plugs in line of your existing tail light wiring so there is no reprogramming of your Volvo's computer. If you are going to pull a larger trailer that requires an electric trailer brake controller you are going to also need...

When it comes to wiring, Tekonsha is the most reliable. This wiring harness plugs in behind the taillights and will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

For a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that works with most small trailers and for Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If you are only needing the 4-way the Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow you to secure the 4-way to the end of the receiver for easy access. If you will be pulling larger trailers with electric brakes you will need the Universal...
view full answer... - Fit of etrailer e53KR Class III Hitch on 2021 Volvo XC90 Inscription RechargeThe etrailer # e53KR Class III hitch fits all models of the 2021 Volvo XC90, including the Inscription Recharge. The install procedure shown in the linked video for the 2019 XC90 would be the same as the 2021. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118683, a ball mount like # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch. I've also linked to an install video for the trailer wiring harness.

The Curt Class III is a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver. I recommend the wiring to illuminate the trailer lights with Tekonsha T-One wiring harness part # 118683. The Tekonsha brand converter boxes attached to the wiring harnesses are known to last a bit longer than other brands. I have attached an installation video for...

- 2019 Volvo XC90 Hitch RecommendationMy recommendation is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C53HR for your 2019 Volvo XC90. This is a custom fit Class III hitch with a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs. if you require wiring a suggest the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683.

If you measure from the bottom of the piece pointed out in the picture down about 4-1/2 inches that is approximately where the bottom of the hitch will be after it is installed. That will give you a good idea of the approximate hitch location and thus the amount of ground clearance.

- Hitch Confirmed to Fit the 2022 Volvo XC90We do! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e53KR is confirmed to fit your 2022 Volvo XC90. This hitch has a bolt-on installation (some drilling required) and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you plan to do any towing with your XC90, you can pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683 and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 to round out a tow package.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2018 Volvo XC90 T8The available trailer hitches for your 2018 Volvo XC90 will require varying degrees of vehicle modification for installation. The Curt hitch # C53HR does not require any drilling but does require some fascia trimming and heat shield modification. I have linked the instructions for installation for you. This hitch is listed as a fit for all styles of the 2018 XC90 including the T8. Curt hitch # C13233 does require drilling but does not require trimming the fascia. It does require modifying...

It does have the same similar design as The Draw-Tite 76194. The Curt # C53HR has a concealed cross tube design which will have a sleeker look when installed on your vehicle. It has a gross towing weight up to 6,000 pounds and has a gross tongue weight up to 900 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to see the proper towing...
view full answer... - Mounting 7-way Trailer Connector to 2016 Volvo XC90You won't need to cut the bumper fascia to install a 7-way. We used a # 18136 no-drill bracket that attaches to the hitch crossbar using a pipe clamp. Since the Curt # C53HR hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper, the # 18136 bracket can be installed to the underside of the hitch crossbar with the L-bracket for the 7-way extending upward at a 90° angle. If the 7-way you'll be using didn't include an L-bracket, you can use # PK12711U. If you're needing a brake controller, I'd recommend...

- Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 2019 Volvo XC90You can use absolutely any wiring harness with your Curt Hitch # C53HR since they're not tied together in any manner; Stealth hitches just give you an entire package and the big draw of those is that they're designed to only be seen when you're towing, which is quite important to some vehicle owners. With that said, in order to add a 7-way connector, you'll need to start with a 4 way since that gives you the base connections needed for a 7 way. To add a 4 way I recommend using the Tekonsha...

The only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the square receiver tube. I have attached installation instructions for your reference. For the wiring, I recommend Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118683. The Tekonsha brand wiring has proven to be more reliable...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2017 Volvo XC90Yes, we have the Curt hitch part # C53HR which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volvo XC90. This is a Class III hitch with a 2-inch opening that would work well for towing or carrying hitch accessories. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage...

The only way it may impact is you likely won't be able to activate it with your foot directly under the hitch receiver but it will still work just to the side. If you're going to be towing with your Volvo, the wiring harness # 118683 is confirmed to fit. This will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. It installs by plugging into the wiring which is behind both tail lights. For...

This hitch has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 900 lb tongue weight capacity though I do recommend checking your owner's manual to see what the capacity of your Volvo is and abide by that figure. Then for a wiring harness I highly recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683. This harness is the best for your XC90 because it has the...
view full answer... - Will Brake Controller Plug Into 2017 Volvo XC90Your 2017 Volvo XC90 does not have an in-cab plug-in brake controller option, including the Redarc # RED44FR. The issue is that there isn't an adapter made, and hardwiring is also a problem due to the fact there isn't a reachable stoplight switch wire (the wire that gets power when you step on the brake pedal) on your vehicle. There is one simple to use option, which is from Curt: - Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 The Echo # C51180 will simply plug into the 7-way...

This is most likely due to how the trailer hitches for your XC90 like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C53HR attach. Therefore, you will need to tow without a weight distribution system. That said, if you want to be sure you don't run into issues with trailer sway which I will say is a major reason as to why so many people...

- Best Trailer Wiring Kit for 2019 Volvo XC90 and is Trip to Dealer Required for ReprogrammingThe best 4-way trailer wiring option we have for your 2019 Volvo XC90 is the Tekonsha kit part # 118683 as it installs very easily and has a very reliable converter box which will do a great job being resistant to trailer wiring shorts. I attached an install video for this for you to check out on a similar 2018 XC90 as well. There would be no need to take the truck to a dealer either.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories Recommendation for 2016 Volvo XC90Because the 2008 and 2016 Volvo XC90 are from different model generations, they wouldn't use the same hitch. For the 2016, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13233. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll need the following to complete your towing set up: Trailer wiring harness, part # 118683 Ball mount, part # D-4 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, part # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. Hitch Pin and Clip item # PC3.
view full answer... - Does Installing Trailer Wiring on 2019 Volvo XC90 Require Reprogramming ComputerThe trailer wiring harness from Tekonsha part # 118683 that fits your 2019 Volvo XC90 does not require a trip to the dealer for any computer programming. Your vehicle's computer would not know it's installed at all so it's not something that would cause any issue like that. To see the entire install process on a similar 2018 XC90 check out the install video link I attached to this page. If you need a trailer hitch too, we have the Curt part # C53HR which is a 2-inch hitch and mostly hidden!

Thanks for asking. I’ve only towed a small garden trailer a few times so far but I wouldn’t hesitate to haul a max load across the country and back. The Volvo suv the hitch is on stays garaged so I can’t give good feedback on how it would hold up in a salty slushy winter. Luckily we are in Georgia. : This was the third hitch I have installed on my vehicles and each one was perfect. If I end up needing another hitch I will be back. Thanks, have a nice day.
