Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - 118683

  • Custom Fit
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • Powered Converter
  • Tekonsha

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.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection points in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Connect hot lead to power cable stud
  • Includes ModuLite power converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
    • Powered module connects to battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 4.2 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


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.

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.

2019 Volvo XC90

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.

Installed easy and quickly, only problem was dripping the grounding screw. Could be my 77 year old fingers.



by:
Volvo

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.

Quality product and great customer serv ice!!!!

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



by:
2016 Volvo XC90

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.

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.

2019 Volvo XC90

everything worked perfectly, i was very happy with how easy this was to install and how well it worked. it did not mess with any of my car sensors or anything so i am very please. i would totally buy again if needed. directions could be a bit better in the box but youtube had some quick and easy help to make it work well.

works perfectly on our 2019 Volvo xc90, i am very happy with it.



by:

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.



by:
2017 Volvo XC90

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:

The order was received on time and in excellent condition.



by:
2016 Volvo XC90

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:

Installed myself. Good video instruction! Perfect fit!



by:

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



by:

This is an excellent product and the customer service for install is great. I will only use etrailer in the future.



by:

Shipped before anticipated date. Arrived when projected after shipment. etrailer delivered to what they said.



by:

Good price and high quality product. Install was very straightforward with the detailed videos at etrailer. Saved over $1000 versus dealer install!



by:

I went to use it after a winter of not using it and all the lights on my trailer worked perfectly. I had a garage install it for me.

Great product and fairly easy installat ion.

Easy to put on my car. Accurate instructions with all parts as required. Thanks

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 2019 Volvo XC90
    You 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...

  • Is Reprogramming Required To Install A 2019 Volvo XC90s Wiring Harness
    When installing the T-One Wiring Harness # 118683 on your 2019 Volvo XC90 there will be no need to reprogram. To help in your process, I've included an installation video for a on a '18 XC90. The video will show that the 4-way connector works without reprogramming. Should you decide to do some towing a great Ball Mount Kit is part # 989900. It comes with two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise or 4” drop - a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball,...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volvo XC90
    The correct hitch for your 2018 Volvo XC90 is the Curt part # C53HR which is a custom fit and would work well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118683 which is also a custom fit. 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 bag. If...

  • Recommendation for Hybrid Vehicle for Towing Air Stream Bambi 16RB
    Probably the best option I've been able to locate that will pull the 3500 Gross Trailer Weight of the Airstream Bambi 16RB you mentioned is the 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The vehicle has a 3500 lb towing capacity, so if you have your camper fully loaded, you'll be right up against that capacity. I have seen reports that when towing near the capacity, the electric motor will shut off and the gas engine will take over, but since you didn't seem concerned about gas mileage while towing...

Because of this it has a lower towing capacity at just 3,500lbs.

  • Wireless Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Volvo XC90
    We carry the Prodigy RF brake controller part # TK94FR that would be a great solution for a wireless controller. All you would need is a 7-way connector on your 2016 Volvo XC90 that has an active 12 volt accessory circuit. You would need to start with a 4-way if you do not have any trailer wiring at all. For that you would want the part # 118683 which is a confirmed fit. From there you would want the part # 37185 to adapt it to a 7-way. You would then need to run 10 gauge wire like part...

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...

  • How Much Does Adding Curt Trailer Hitch Reduce Ground Clearance on a 2016 Volvo XC90
    Take a look of the picture I have included showing Curt trailer hitch # C13233 installed on a 2016 Volvo XC90. 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. I have driven extensively through New Orleans and there are some rough roads due to the flooding...

  • Correct Grounding Location For The Tekonsha 118683 On A Volvo XC90
    To answer your question Mark, both ways are correct. The vehicles frame, or the negative battery terminal are both suitable locations for a ground. It could be the installer in that particular video just preferred to do it that way since the battery was so close.

  • Where Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Harness Run on 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge
    The power wire of the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118683 actually doesn't need to run to a battery. It runs to power cable stud that is in the access panel where the rest of the harness installs in your 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge so there wouldn't be a need to access a traditional battery.

    Your 2017 Volvo XC90 does not have an in-cab plug-in brake controller option, including the Redarc # RED44FR.
