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 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.
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.

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: Skip S.06/30/2019
Has worked perfectly on my 2007 JEEP Liberty, hooks up to the standard
trailer plug and works great. Made 4 trips with a trailer in tow, absolutely perfect function for lights.
Installation was a breeze, I watched a few install videos. I did a few more steps than one would expect, mostly to secure the module into the chassis cavity of the left rear light cluster, and the B+ BLACK wire connected to the yellow fuse clip, and then the car battery POS terminal.
The mounting bracket was attached to the chassis with the included screws, BUT I drilled and then tapped the holes (were they 8-32 or 10-32 ? ) to screw the bolts directly into the chassis.
Gooped the bolts with a gel lithium grease for rust protection when I screwed
them into the chassis metal.
Suggections! Please replace the black B+ positive wire with a RED color insulation
wire, to maintain correlation with standard DC color coding for wiring.
Add a good 12-14AWG yellow jacket butt splice to the kit for the BLACK B+ positive
wire to the YELLOW fuse clip wire. I had to use one of my own stock, the butt splice you sent would not accept the 12 gauge wire.
Thanks guys! Highly recommend this kit for a 2007 JEEP Liberty.

2018 Jeep Liberty
I purchased a trailer hitch for a Jeep Liberty about 18 months ago. Installation was simple with the instructions provided with the hardware and the videos on this site. I would encourage others to heed their warning that corrosion and rust should be removed from the holes on the vehicle before installing a hitch. Anyway, not only did the site contribute to simple installation, but their customer service was excellent. I received my hitch sooner than expected, which was beneficial because I needed to use it quickly. The whole system has been working great for this entire time. I have no complaints and will continue to use this site.

My experience with etrailer.com was a great one. The sales rep. Rebecca N. was so delightful and knowledgeable. She walked me through the entire process right down to installation. Installing the hitch and wiring harness was simple. Thank you Rebecca and etrailers.com!
I will refer and do business with etrailer.com in the future.

Hitch and wiring was ordered on Monday am, was at my door Wednesday 6pm. Very easy installation, good product. My only problem was that the bolts supplied with the hitch did not fit my Jeep. I had to go to the local hardware and buy 6 grade 8 bolts in the proper size, at 79 cents apiece.
I cleaned the nuts with a tap, still the provided bolts would not fit, but the ones from the hardware screwed right in. I did read the reviews on your site for this hitch, others have had the same problem.
That said, I would do business with e-trailer again.

Works great on my 2003 Jeep Liberty.
Installation was very easy - other than running the power wire through the frame to the battery. The posted video was very helpful in figuring out the routing for that wire.
This was my first etrailer.com order and I am incredibly impressed by how complete and helpful the site has been - thanks!

2007 Jeep Liberty
Very easy installation on my 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport. I ran the wire from the battery underneath the vehicle along the same route as the rear brake lines up and over the rear axle and then to the trailer wiring harness.
by: Joe W.06/17/2013
2006 Jeep Liberty
Very satisfied with the product and the service.
Installation was very close to the video instructions.
The only thing keeping this from getting the highest mark: the wire loom and self tapping screw called for in the installation instructions for the black power wire were not included in the package, that required a trip to the store.

It seems bizarre that you write a review about somebody doing exactly what they said they would do for you. Well, my experience has been horrible with customer service in the last 5 years. Then along comes e-trailer. I ordered the part and it shipped the same day. I had a confirmation email letting me know what part was on the way along with the tracking info. I had an email letting me know it was delivered to my house. Installation was a snap with best directions I have used in a long time. This was a great experience and it was handled with best customer service experience in years. Thank you e-trailer.

I have multiple trailers jet ski, boat, utility, rv etc. etrailer.com is my go-to shop for my trailer maintenance needs.
etrailer understands no nonsense customers requiring real customer service. This is a rare business attribute nowadays.

Product came as described. Easy to install. Really like the YouTube videos to help with the install. Most time consuming part was running the wire to the battery. Very Satisfied and much better than splicing wires.

This isn't my first installation of wiring for a trailer but this kit covered everything. I've never had to run the wiring to the battery but it all worked out and it's working beautifuly.

Fit really well. Went to auto store in town first and was given the wrong part. E-Tailer got it correct first shot. Running power wire to front was a pill but works well. Thanks for your trouble.

Shipment arrived a day early, very easy to install. This is to replace one I bought from a different company and it burned out in a year. The quality of this T connector appears to be superior to the one I had. A tad bit more expensive then the old one (about $20.00 more), but a real bargain compared to the $180.00 Jeep wants for theirs.

Good service ...great product...slapped it in and
off I went...no problems and will call on you again if need something
by: CF03/21/2011
Shipping and Handling - Excellent
Price - Good
Ease of Installation - Good
Product functionality - Excellent
Suggestions:
1- Needs a longer ground wire (about 1-1/2 ft) to take advantage of pre-drilled frame holes for grounding screw.
2- Display module location layout in instructional illustration.
3- Provide better module securing method (2 sided tape not sufficient, did not work)

2002 Jeep Liberty
It is a good kit. The instruction is pretty clear and the online video are helpful. The only issue I saw was that both the instruction and the video indicate that the lead line for the positive end at the battery is red, which it clearly is not in the kit that I received; it was black. In total it took about an hour to fully install with the help of the video.

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said about this product and service...delivery-faster than expected...ease of use-installs EXACTLY and as EASILY described in video...so buy the dang thing. Worth the money for an easy reliable installation.

- Will Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13044, For The 2006 Jeep Liberty Fit Renegade Model With Fuel Tank ShieldThe Curt Trailer Hitch for the 2006 Jeep Liberty, # 13044, will fit on your 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade with the fuel tank skid shield. The fuel tank skid shield will need to be temporarily removed or loosened for installation. The tow hooks do have to be removed. Our notes on that hitch showed those instructions, but I also called our supplier (Curt) and they did verify those notes.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Turn Signals and Brake Lights Working on the Trailer but No Tail Lights WorkIt could be a couple of issues. The easiest one to rule out is that all of your fuses are working. You could have a blown fuse in your Jeep. I recommend looking at your Liberty's fuse box diagram and seeing if everything related to a towing function or your rear lights has a good fuse in it. It could also be one of your connectors on the 4-way. You will want to use a circuit tester like item # PTW2993 to test the Jeep's connector to see if the problem is on it or the trailer. Assuming...

First of all, you will need a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, part # 118524 if your Liberty does not already have one. You will then need our Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7 for a 7-way trailer connector, or # ETBC6 for a 6-way connector. The install kit includes all wire, connectors and circuit breakers necessary for the installation. The kit includes a trailer connector adapter that plugs into the 4-pole harness. At this point,...

For your Liberty, you will need to check to see if your vehicle has the necessary connector and if it is active. You would need to locate the connector at the rear of the vehicle that should be near the drivers side frame rail by the spare tire. You can use a circuit tester like part # 3808 to test the pins of the connector for the various taillight...
view full answer... - 2011 Jeep Liberty Factory Tow Package Wiring Stopped Working After a Short CircuitOn the 2011 Jeep Liberty with factory tow package there are fuses for the wiring in location M2 and location M4. If those are good then you can inspect the actual trailer connector and wiring going to it to see if the short caused significant physical damage causing the problem. If it is neither the fuses nor the wiring/connector then there is likely a deeper issue, possibly related to the vehicle computer. Since it is OEM tow package wiring the best thing to do in that situation is to...

The harness plugs in line to existing wiring behind the tail light assemblies and requires a connection to the positive battery terminal. This circuit protected powered converter will protect the vehicles sensitive wiring. I have included a link to the installation details for you. If...

Then using a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, test each pin of the 4-Way. Clip the alligator clip of the circuit tester to the exposed post, the ground wire. Check each pin with the probe. The brown wire should be running lights. Yellow should be left brake and turn, and green should have the same functions but for the right side. If these functions all work, then the problem is on the trailer. If not, then the problem...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Options for a 2006 Jeep Liberty without Factory Tow PackageThere are a few different trailer wiring harnesses available for the 2006 Jeep Liberty without the factory tow package. I have included a link to them for you. I recommend either # 118524 or # C55382 because they plug in line with the tail light wiring on the vehicle. These are the harnesses that fit because the vehicle does not have the factory tow package. Models with the factory tow package are pre-wired with a trailer connector already and the wiring for it is under the vehicle.

This image shows male/female connectors included with 4-pole harness part # 42475. The 7-way harness # HM42190 also uses a rectangular OEM connector.

If your trailer uses a 7-way connector you will also need a Installation Kit # ETBC7 which will contain the additional wiring needed to add a charge line and Brake Controller # RED52VR to your Liberty. The Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 will allow you to secure the 4-way flat connector to your receiver without drilling. If you need the...

For that you would need the part # 118524. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the Prodigy P3 brake controller # 90195. 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.
