Installation on a Sedan
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will have to remove the plastic threshold panel and pull back the felt trunk liner to access these connection points.
Installation on a Hatchback
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will have to partially remove the plastic threshold panel, side panels, and cargo trays to access these connection points.
Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead with the attached fuse holder to the car battery. 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 in your trunk/cargo area.
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.

Install was a breeze an the wiring kit was simple as it could get. The only hard part was fishing the wire through the firewall on my car only because it was super thick an no space on engine bay side to pull it through on my 2014 Chevy sonic

2014 Chevrolet Sonic
Sharing my experience installing a draw-tite hitch and wiring harness on my 2014 Chev Sonic rs. This procedure went exactly as the descriptions and videos describe from etrailer. I found only two areas that were a bit tricky - even with a trim panel tool, a couple of my trim securing plastic fasteners broke, and when going through the firewall - bit hard to maneuver around clutch pedal. Note: Replacement interior panel fasteners are plentiful and readily available.
I am mechanical, but a rookie hitch installer. The hitch installation took 25 minutes with the car on ramps. The harness took approximately 1.5 hours with most of my time focused on going through firewall and doing an orderly job underhood and using caution with interior. Connecting the splices at the rear lights and routing the wire through the interior of the Sonic is very simple just as the video depicts. Great kit for the Sonic rs, and it even tucks away very nicely from an appearance standpoint!

This is a nice product, it works great (only did short hook up so far. Yes, it will take you some time to install. I did break one of the 'green' panel holders and he local Chevy dealer doesn't stock them, so I put panel back on with out it. I also ran my 12 volt wire thru the spare tire tube. I drilled a 1/2" hole and got a .25 cent flat rubber disk from ACE. Then ran wire thru same path as fuel and rear brake lines. It was nice I could use car without 12 volt to black box so I could get the parts.
Sorry, didn't take any pictures.

So far, easily installed and see how it does. Bought Curt brand (seems to have been discontinued) approx 3 years ago. It lost the ability to work the left signal, due to something in the "box" failing. In fairness, there were some wires touching on the trailer possibly causing damage to the box. This one seems more robust, plugged in the same, fit the same place with the box and the ground wire. Works. Now to see for how long. Trailer wires have been tied down and better protected...

It sounds like your original converter box shorted out. The typical cause of this as you mentioned is a short in the trailer wiring. Once the short is repaired, you should have smooth sailing with your new taillight converter. If theres any spot on the trailer where the wires rub against the frame, using a length of wire loom like # 39035 would be perfect for protecting the wire from abrasion. If you have wiring passing through holes in the trailer frame, using a grommet is recommended.

Installation was pretty simple, great quality clips/box/wires/etc., only down side is it didn't come with the 12 gauge power wire to run to the battery. Well worth the 80 bucks to not cut wires and such. If you need lights for whatever you are pulling, get this kit.

The picture shows the 12 ga wire that is needed to supply power to the unit that has to be run to the vehicle battery but the needed 12ga wire has to be procured in order for the kit to work. Misleading to me.

Great wiring harness. Fairly simple and easy to install. Just make sure you have a panel tool otherwise you will break the clips that hold the interior panels in place.

Unfortunately the time harness did not work, the car is a Chevrolet agile ,same as the Chevrolet sonic built I believe in usa.This one is assembled in Argentina by Chevrolet Argentina.But the wiring is different.You look at the car outside and are twins ,but the guts are different.I will be returning to USA in April 2018 but I do not believe I can have a credit for my purchase being one year past. The product is in its original package and never used

I ordered a hitch and wiring kit from etrailer, it arrived today. It s exactly what I ordered and the quality of this hitch is second to none. I am extremely pleased with the quality, the super fast delivery and my overall experience with etrailer they have a customer for life.
by: Poppa Squirrel02/10/2016
I was trapped in Nowheresville, SC without the availability to get anything other than U-Haul parts for my wife's car. Michelle helped me find the parts which I needed to get on the road home and assured me that even at 3:35PM that the shipment would get to me overnight. I cannot stress enough to friends and family WHY the only place to go for towing hardware is Etrailer.com. You can take my advice as well.

Works great and easy to install if you are patient and spend the time to properly pop the body panels loose and stuff the wires under the plastic trim. Go at least an inch or better under from the edge in the door wells or the plastic trim will sit up from the carpet making a lip. I used different wire connectors than the ones provided.

Easy install, exactly as the videos depict with excellent detail. Item works as it should. With a manual transmission vehicle getting the black wire up through the firewall is a little harder as you have less room to operate (because of clutch pedal), but that is unavoidable.

- Trailer Wiring Harness Installation on 2016 Chevrolet SonicYes, on the wiring harness # 118640 you will need the black 12-volt power wire coming from the converter box to be connected to the battery on your 2016 Chevrolet Sonic. The converter box is necessary to protect the wiring of your Sonic and also your tail light circuits do not have enough capacity to power the LED lights on the trailer. The black wire supplies the power to the trailer lights and uses the signals coming from the Sonic's lights to determine which circuits to supply power...
view full answer... - 2015 Chevy Sonic Hatchback Trailer Hitch and Wiring RecommendationFor your 2015 Chevy Sonic the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24878 has been confirmed as a fit and will work well for light towing as long as you stay under the hitch's towing capacity of 200 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs total trailer weight and the towing capacities for the vehicle listed in the owners manual. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118640, for a ball mount # 3590, 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256, and 2 inch ball # 19258.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2012 Chevrolet SonicThere were two models of the Chevrolet Sonic lt in 2012. One is a 4-door sedan and the other model is a 5-door hatchback. If you have a 4-door sedan then the trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11240. This is a Class l trailer hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. For a 5-door hatchback I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24878. This is also a Class l hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. If you end up with a Curt hitch, Curt requires a stabilizing strap like part...

The problem is that the bike is too heavy to carry it on a hitch mounted carrier. They do make small trailers designed for motorcycles so you won't need a huge trailer. For a trailer hitch I recommend Draw-Tite model # 24878. The recommended ball mount is # 3590. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball I recommend # 19258.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # 3590 and the correct pin and clip is # PC2. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118640. I have linked instructions for the wiring as well.

However, if the exhaust is professionally installed they would be able to work around any clearance issues with the hitch so I would have the hitch installed first. If you plan on doing any towing I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24878. The recommended ball mount is # 3590. Then for a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19256...

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer with 2012 Chevy Sonic HatchbackWe only have Class I hitches available for your vehicle which have the 2,000 lb total capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. If you are sure your trailer is under that weight and your vehicle's owners manual also reflects at least the same capacities you would be good to go with a hitch like the # 24878 that you mentioned. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118640 which is a confirmed fit as well. For a ball mount you'd need the part # 3590, and for a ball # 19256.

I have linked a video to the right showing installation of the trailer hitch for you. If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier please make sure that the accessory is rated for a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with bike racks or cargo carriers Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using those items or any non-trailer load in the hitch.

For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118640.
view full answer... - Does Trailer Wiring Harness Come with the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Chevy Sonic RSThe trailer wiring harness is not included with Curt trailer hitch # C11398 for your 2013 Chevy Sonic RS. The reason is because not everyone who installs a hitch is using it for towing or accessories that have lights. By making it separate the hitch price can be lower. To add a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118640. This will add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

This hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight and 2,000 lb total trailer weight capacity so you will need to be sure the trailer weighs less than that when totally loaded. Also, you will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what Chevy says is your towing capacities. The lower of the two sets of capacities...

There will only be a very minimal draw on the vehicle wiring because the harness only uses the connection to the tail lights to receive the signals to send to the trailer lights.

Made one long trip 1,200 each way with 4x8 trailer. Empty on way out but total 700-750 on way back. Hitch and lights worked great. I also got a carrier so I can haul 5 gallon gas on back and not inside car needed 1 to 2 tube, but it also works good.
