Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - TE54FR

  • 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
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 5 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 in the rear cargo area. You will have to remove the rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering and partially remove the rear interior trim panels 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 in the rear 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 Power Module

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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.

The last time I wired a vehicle was 25 years ago, nightmare on Elm. To this kit, what a difference, everything I needed was in this kit, fantastic!! And, most of all, thank you, very much!! Took me 20 minutes to wire everything, read the directions and watch your video's. Best tool yet, thank you again.

Easy to install and the stay on when in use.

This wiring harness fit our 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid perfectly! The online video demonstrates the installation. Big thank you to etrailer.com for supplying all the parts needed to install a complete hitch assembly including a hitch, wiring harness and mounting bracket for the harness plug.

Excellent product & fit



by:

Great instructional video, quality part - what’s not to like?



by:

Good price. Have not installed yet. Was emailed and told that it will not come for a few more weeks but it arrived on time.



by:

This item was back ordered till 11/22/23 , this is totally unacceptable had to demand a refund on 8/30/23 Wish this transaction went a lot smoother. Ordered one from auto zone and will ship to my residence on 9/1/23

2020 Ford Escape

The video on the install was spot on for my 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid SE. Only issues I had were cleaning up the goop from under the door weather seal that got spread along a bit after I peeled it back. A roll of paper towels and a few shots of WD40 loosened it up and got it off. I don't use the towing set up that much so I left the wires inside the car rather than mount the connector outside. Passed all tests with my tester and on the trailer. Thanks for the great products and videos!



by:

Very easy to install



by:

This wiring harness works perfectly and is very easy to install. I had ordered the C95FR which was a product made by Curt (#56432) and on there site said it was the right harness for the 2020 Escape and did not work. etrailer exchanged the part thinking it may have been bad with no questions. That one did not work either so I ordered the TE54FR which is the correct harness for my car. etrailer was great to work with and I will order from them on future needs. There video is accurate and you do not have to pull the tail lights on the 2020 escape like on all the proceeding models.



by:

Awesome product. No disappointment here.



by:

The combination of finding the correct part as well as the very detailed and informative video made installation so easy on this that I didn’t need to read the instructions.



by:

Super kit! It's well thought out and easy to install.



by:

Looks well made, just not enough ambition to install it



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Easy plug and play harness. However, the instructional video should include wiring to a traditional Escape. Not just a hybrid, which the battery is in the back of the car, easy peasy to get to. The traditional gas powered car is more involved to get wired to the front of the vehicle. At least give pointers.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Wiring harness was a simple plug in fit for my 2020 Ford Escape. Interior panels easily popped open to access all the connection locations.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

I put this on my 2020 ford escape. The only slight issue I ran into was running the power wire to the battery. The video shows it being installed on a titanium version with the battery in the back. Lower models have the battery upfront with several different firewall grommets.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

The kit installed smoothly and worked on the first test. I couldn't find a You Tube video for a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid installation but the supplied printed instructions were clear and told me what I needed to know.



by:
Ford Escape

Everything needed for our 2020 Ford Escape. All the connections were strait forward and and worked directly. You do need to open up some of that back inside paneling but that's were the connections are so you have to do what you need to do. It wasn't hard on the Escape. The instructions were accurate and clear.



by:

Instructions were clear and detailed. The wiring has worked flawlessly. It may take a little time to install, but the finished product is neat and out-of-the-way. It looks as good as a factory install!



by:

Ordered 06/01/20 - Shipped 06/02/2020 - Arrived 06/05/2020 -
Installed 06/05/2020 (had a professional install) - Have not used it yet but look it looks good from the back of the car. I like the little device connector next to the receiver.



by:

Great fit, quick shipping, excellent video for following along and doing the install. Tons of length for the harness, very impressed.



by:

Looks good



by:

Works well. Fits well. My battery was all the way in the front so I wired it to a cigarette outlet that was in the back and it works great



by:

Great product, worked exactly as hoped for my car.

Service was fast but I hate to pay for shipping

  • Trailer Wiring Harness For 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid With Battery in Back
    There is a trailer wiring harness that fits your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid with the battery in the back, from Tekonsha: - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TE54FR Installing the # TE54FR is going to be easier for you with the battery in the back than with the battery in the front because it will be much easier to access. To access the battery you have to remove the spare tire and it will be directly under the tire.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2022 Ford Escape
    For your 2022 Ford Escape the 4-way trailer wiring harness I recommend is the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR as it has the easiest install and is the most reliable. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Can Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Work on 2020 Ford Escape that is Being Flat Towed for Bike Rack Lights
    For your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium the Tekonsha trailer wiring part # TE54FR is a confirmed fit and can be used with the Curt aux light kit part # C53201. Now depending on what your tow bar wiring setup is this could work but it would need to be a diode setup that is wired for separate turn signals that activates the stop lights and turn signals that are on separate bulbs. If it's a diode kit that uses the stoplights as turn signals too that would mean the aux lights would only work...

  • Hitch Receiver for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    I just confirmed with Curt. Depending on which model of hybrid your 2022 Ford Escape is the Curt item # C23FR will fit. The hitch will fit the standard hybrid models, but it will not fit the PHEV, or plug-in models. I have linked an installation video. If you need a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TE54FR.

    The 2 inch Curt hitch part # C23FR is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid and will allow your hands free liftgate to function if you kick to either side of the hitch opening. I attached a picture of it installed on a similar Titanium as yours for you to check out as well. I wasn't sure if you had a 4-way or not, but if you didn't the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR is the easiest to install and also very reliable as well.

    For your 2020 Ford Escape the Curt Class III part # C23FR is our most popular option that would work really well and would be a great option.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    I checked directly with Curt for you regarding this, and for your 2022 Ford Escape, the hitch WILL fit the standard hybrid models, but it will NOT fit the PHEV, or plug-in models. So as long as your '22 Escape is the standard hybrid and not the plug-in hybrid, the Curt hitch will absolutely fit, with the correct part number being the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR Like you said, there are also numerous customer reviews of the # C23FR fitting an Escape Hybrid, and the...

    There is a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, though it is different than the one you mentioned. I confirmed with Curt that the hitch that fits your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR. If you also plan on towing, the trailer wiring harness that fits your '20 Escape Hybrid is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR. I have added links to the installation instructions of both for you to check out as well.

  • Will Hands Free Liftgate of 2020 Ford Escape Still Work with Draw Tite Hitch Installed
    We've found that if you kick to either side of the hitch opening of the Draw Tite hitch # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape the rear door will open still. The factory hitch might be a different story which is why they offer a way to relocate the sensors. We don't have a way to do this but I am sure the harness and kit is available at a Ford dealer. If you are looking for custom fit trailer wiring for your Escape as well we have the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR as well. This installs...

It has a concealed cross tube to help maintain a factory look and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. If you plan on doing some towing, you will also need the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR.

    Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR is a confirmed fit for the hybrid models of the 2020 Ford Escape like what you have. This would fit and work great!

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR is the correct hitch for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. When our description says it is a fit for the Hybrid and Excluding the Hybrid, it is saying that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR fits your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid and it fits the 2021 Ford Escape if it is not a hybrid. If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

  • Trailer Hitch with Higher Towing Capacity for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Having a higher rated trailer hitch for your 2020 Ford Escape than what you'd end up needing won't negatively affect anything.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Ford Escape
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Ford Escape (All Models Except Hybrid) is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C23FR. The Curt hitch is an excellent option because it has a hidden design which means you only have to see the receiver tube under the rear bumper, not the bulky and unsightly cross tube therefore you will retain a very factory-like appearance. Furthermore, the Curt hitch because it has a hidden design will provide the best ground clearance as well so no need to worry...
