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.

Worked perfectly, easy plug and play!

Fit perfectly for my 1995 f150 single cab rwd long bed 4.9l, after 1 year still holding on strong and would highly recommend

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.
You are the best!

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.


by:

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!

The product worked perfect for me during the period I owned the vehicle. Sold the vehicle a few months ago.

A great way to update a trailer plug. No more tapped wire connections.
My taillights didn't work anymore and now they do.
I will recommend this to others.

It works great and I recommend it to any of my friends that pull trailers.

Good product, fit was perfect and easy to install



by:
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:

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.



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.

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.

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

1994 Ford F-150

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.



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.

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.

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:
1989 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350

Easy way to get 4 plug trailer wiring. Unplug existing plug, insert new plug, replug and test and ready to go in 10 minutes. It was easy to order from ETrailer at a reasonable cost and came pretty quick.



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

  • 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. This could be because of a bad ground somewhere. First thing I would do is check the grounds on the trailer for any loose wiring and corrosion and fix as necessary. 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.

  • Trailer Brakes Engage When Headlights of1997 Ford F-250 Turned On
    Since you've already tested the trailer connector on your truck and the trailer also has issues when connected to another tow vehicle it sounds like the problem is likely with the trailer's wiring. Check the trailer's wiring for any damaged points. You'll also want to make sure the trailer connector is clean, both on the pins and the back where the wiring is connected to it. The issue could be that the connector is wired incorrectly. I've attached a diagram showing the standard wiring....

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 1996 Ford F-250
    I am not sure what that plug is for that you found on your 1996 Ford F-250. It does not match what the custom harnesses we have available for your truck will plug into, and based on your photo, it looks like you found it near the truck's rear tail lights. The correct plug to install a wiring harness into should actually be located under the truck, along the driver's-side frame rail. It will be a round plug like the attached photo. Once you find the factory plug on your F-250, I recommend...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 1992 Ford F-150 Flareside
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14001 is a fit for a 1992 Ford F-150 Flareside and it's what I recommend using. It has a class IV rating with 2" receiver tube opening that will work great for towing, exceeding the capacity of the truck so you don't have to worry about weight capacity. If you don't already have a trailer wiring harness, you'll need to add the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118316.

  • Will Draw-Tite 2-Inch Hitch 75038 Fit 1992 Ford F-150
    Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75038 will fit the 1992 Ford F-150 that has a standard bumper or step bumper. If your truck has either of these bumpers then the hitch will fit so long as your frame width is NOT 34-inches. Drilling is required and the instructions are linked. I also included a link to a video that shows installation in a 1990 F-150. If you also need a 4-pole wiring harness you can use # 118316.

  • Purpose of White Wire on Tow Ready T-One Connector # 118316 on 1989 Ford F150
    The white wire seen on the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118316 is the ground. If you are needing a feed for reverse lights, your trailer will typically have a 5-pole trailer connector on it. You can use an adapter like part # 20036, and the extra blue wire would be tapped into the reverse light circuit on the truck.

  • 4-Way and Fifth Wheel 7-Way Recommendation for 1995 Ford F-250
    For a 4-way harness confirmed as a fit for your 1995 Ford F-350 we have the # 118316 which plugs in line with the taillight harness of your truck. 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...

  • 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.

Then, I recommend using Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole, # 37185, because it will attach to the 4-Pole on the vehicle and give you output for 7-Pole round plug and 4-Flat. It also includes additional wire leads for brake, power, and accessory. I have included a video showing installation of this adapter below. I have...

  • Trailer Running Lights Do Not Work After Adding 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter on 1991 Ford F-350
    The first thing you are going to want to do is unplug the 4-Way from the 7 and 4-Way so you can test it. You will need a circuit tester # PTW2993 if you do not already have one. The pin right next to the ground pin is the running light circuit. Have someone sit in the truck and operate the running lights while you test with the circuit tester. If the running light circuit does not work, then you will want to check for a tow package running light fuse or relay. Use the owner's manual and/or...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1991 Ford F-150
    Trailer hitch # 75038 will fit your 1991 Ford F-150 with factory step bumper. The hitch is rated for 5,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 500 pounds tongue weight (8,000/800 pounds when used with weight distribution). From what I could find your truck has a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds (consult the owner's manual to confirm). Please note that not all vehicles can be towed on a tow dolly but all vehicles can be carried on a trailer! Since you plan on doing some towing I recommend...

You would just unbolt it, and mount it on the rear bumper.

    Since you've traced it all the way up under the hood, you should check fuse 6 which is a 10 amp fuse specifically designed for that feature. This is located in the power distribution box according to your owners manual. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test for power on each side of the fuse as some fuses may look okay and yet not function properly. If you have power going in and out of the box at that fuse location, then you will need to continue to trace that wire. If you...

    The Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118316 is indeed the correct harness for your 1995 F150. The harness will plug inline with the connector located along the frame rail on the drivers side just behind the rear wheel. You will find a junction point, where two connectors join. Simply unplug this connection, and plug each connector of the T-One inline with the factory wiring. I have linked an installation video for you.

I am not sure what you are referring to in regards to mounting your tail lights though if you need a harness for your trailer lights you can use the simple T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118316.

    We have not heard of anyone having trouble with the spare tire when using Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 37130 on a Ford truck like your 1996 F-350. That would indicate that provided the spare is a stock size and not an over-sized spare there won't be any issues. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.
