Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting or splicing required.
Features:
Specs:
This custom-fit T-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 rear floor liner, scuff panel, and the tail light assemblies to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, run the red hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way 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.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
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 the trailer. This converter combines 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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting or splicing required.
The wires from left tail light to control module were WAY too short to allow install in the jack well and through rubber grommet. Given that, I had to install control module just below the light. Have no idea if this will effect longevity.
The adapter recently broke I have power on all pins except ground no idea what happened . I had pep boys install it not sure if it’s still under warranty I I couldn’t find the receipt I recently moved and must have mis placed it .

The trailer wiring harness you purchased is covered by a 90 day warranty. The best way to begin the wiring harness troubleshoot is to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the trailer connector pins as each lighting function is activated. Ground the tester to the male pin on the trailer connector, which is fed by the white ground wire. Probe the socket fed by the green wire as the right turn signal is activated. The tester should blink along with the turn signal, and when the brake pedal is pressed. Probe the socket fed by the yellow wire when the left turn signal is activated. The tester should blink along with the turn signal, and also with the brake pedal. The socket fed by the brown wire should show power with the vehicles headlights or running lights on. If you are showing signal on each pin as its function is activated, then the problem exists in the wiring on the trailer, not in the vehicle wiring harness. Beginning at the trailer connector, trace each circuit rearward to the taillights. Examine the trailer connector on the trailer, check for corrosion or damage. Check the point where the wiring meets the 4-pin plug. As you trace each circuit rearward, look for pinched wires and loose connections. Ill link you to a trailer wiring troubleshooting article that should be helpful. Just click the link provided below:

5 months after purchased it failed just like other reviews. Only 90 day warranty! I only used it 3 times in the 5 months for short trips. I Do not recommend buying this.
Worked great for about four months. Now as soon as you plug the trailer harness in, the brake lights on trailer light up and stay o.. Don't even need to have the car on.b and only time turn signals work is when you have brakes applied.
I needed a hitch for my Chevrolet Traverse High Country and was not certain what to order. I called etrailer and they verified all of my vehicle information and checked and got me the correct trailer, wiring kit and also plug mount. Was doubtful about it being correct, but when everything got here, in short order, it was exactly what I needed. Without their research I know I would have ordered the wrong thing. You can depend on them researching to make certain they are giving you the correct parts and quality items.
Great hitch, and the installation videos were amazingly helpful. This is the only place to purchase a hitch
Shipping was excellent! The product arrived sooner than I thought it would, and was exactly what I purchased. I needed wiring hookups for a rental trailer I'll be towing. It was easy to find the exact one I needed and for a good price. I love etrailer! They're reliable and helpful. What more could you ask for?
etrailer helped with making I had everything I needed to install my trailer hitch. Customer service was knowledgeable and made sure I hade the right parts.... THANKS GUYS!

Product worked great, just as expected. I did however, have a friend of mine who is an auto pro install the unit. I have since used multiple times to pull my kids' U-Hauls back and forth to college.
Easy to install!
Works Great, moved from California to Utah pulling a utility trailer, never missed a beat.
Product is quality and what I ordered! Also the customer service is great. This was my first order from etrailer and it seems the customer is the number one here very impressive!
Was disappointed when this harness failed after 8 months of use then learn warranty is only 90 days.
This harness was a lifesaver. Very happy with the product and the service.

It sounds like you have the power converter installed in the correct spot just below the tail light. If you take a look at the 4:41 time stamp of the attached video you will see where it should be installed.
