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.

Kia Sorento
Seems to be exactly what I needed for my 2022 Sorento.
It took me roughly 3 hours to install and was a pretty simple task.
The only instruction issue I had was with taillight removal. After removing 10mm screws you need to use a flat plastic spatchula or body tool to pry the bottom half of the taillight assembly towards the rear end of the car. There's 2 mounting studs there that prevent you from removing the taillight assembly.
Other than that, route your wire forward to the battery by removing the underside panels and it's a piece of cake.

Item #HM48595 does not let Item #TK26FR be mounted you should only send items in an order if they will fit each other.
Call and you told to return item but I had to pay freight of over $x for an item that cost $x dollars. ordered a different mounting bracket and you wanted to charge me freight even if it was your fault that I had to order a different item.
Went to U-Haul bought bracket.
Very poor costumer service for a mistake that you made not me. You are supposed to know what fits with what not the costumer.
Will never again buy from etrailer looks like they only want to sell even if the items don't fit each other.

While most brackets will fit multiple harnesses, unfortunately this particular bracket is only designed to fit other Hopkins products. I apologize that our system was not able to catch that they are not compatible. We are working towards a more sophisticated system that can better assist all of us in our product compatibility.

After Amazon sent me 2 different kits that were both incorrect, I placed my order with etrailer and got exactly what I needed for my SUV. The kit was complete and spot on workmanship!
by: Russ01/13/2024
Trailer hitch and harness installed easily as promised and have had no issues as of yet, one year later. We installed in my daughters SUV to move her from WI to Texas.
by: Catfish Billy02/10/2024
Great product! Fits and works exactly as described! Took me about 3 hours to install on my Kia Sorento Hybrid! I had to get this kit after the dealership refused to let me order the OEM one.

2023 Kia Sorento
I fist purchased a harness on Amazon that said it would work, but it did not fit my 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid. After that I went to etrailer and gave them a try. The harness and tow-bar arrived on time and the video was really helpful when I installed the harness. It worked great once I got it in. It was a little challenging to install, but that was noted on their site when I purchased it. Not really bad, just a bit more work than others I have installed in the past. Overall, it was exactly as advertised and I would highly recommend buying from etrailer again. Their parts fit and work as advertised, they have great installation videos, and their customer support is levels above Amazon and most other online stores. Very professional and well run company!
by: Craig02/20/2024
Worked twice intermittently. Had to order direct through the dealer and pay $250 after this waste of time and money.
by: Bryce08/22/2023
Although this was the wrong harness (my fault), the delivery time was great and the customer service to return the item was top notch. I will surely be purchasing more items from this company in the future.

Pkg arrived with quite a bit of carton damage. Have not yet inspected the hitch and wiring.

Kia Sorento
NOte that for the 2022 kia Sorento plug0-in hybrid the rear-mounted battery makes this both easy and hard: the wirign is very short to mount onm the hitch below, but the battery sits in a weather proof well, which you need to wire through, there is a square tube below with plastic grommet, going through that you can keep it weather proof and the square framing tube has access holes a couple of inches away from under the car so then no drilling is needed, just slightly tricky to fish it out to start with. but then you are right next to the hitch frame and can route it to anywhere you want to place the connector (I used a L-bracket, which seems to hold it in place very nicely, adding some grease to the connector, has also kept it good and avoided corrosion with multiple uses.)

Just Ok Installed by myself in 3hrs wish +wire had protection around it. Hard to do when not on a lift.

2022 Kia Sorento
This wiring harness fit my Kia Sorento perfect. Plug and play removed the tail lights plugged in the adaptors and ran the wires. Plugged the wires into the tester to check proper operation. Made the job so much easier and made the installation quicker. The perfect complement to make it a professional looking job.
by: Joseph 11/22/2022
Easy to find the correct part on the website and order but the install was a little different only because I have a hybrid so battery is in back so you don’t have to navigate the power cable through the firewall or anything like that. Major plus!
by: Terry10/02/2023
great fit ez to install
by: Gidget06/21/2023
I gave them my new address, but they put my old address on pkg, so it took a week longer to get the part.
by: Douglas 08/28/2022
good instructions for installation little hard running the power cable to the battery on the ground but working well

See what our Experts say about this Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Trailer Wiring for 2021 Kia SorentoThe only trailer wiring options we have for your 2021 Kia Sorento are ones like the # TK26FR which install by plugging inline with the vehicle's taillight wiring. We do not have anything that would plug into any factory wiring.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid Plug InI have a trailer wiring harness that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2023 Kia Sorento plug in hybrid but the Curt you mentioned has not been confirmed yet. Instead you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # TK26FR which we know fits and will work great.
view full answer... - Was The Tekonsha 4-Way Wiring Harnesses One Which Had Fire Issues On a 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid? I have not heard of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK26FR having a fire issue with your 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid. Tekonsha has always had the better modules which are not as susceptible to water damage. I do believe the issues the Sorento had were with units connecting to factory tow package wiring. This Tekonsha connects in line of the tail lights.

This means no cutting or splicing is required. You will also need to run a hot lead to the car battery to complete the...

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2021 Kia Sorento with Factory Tow PackageI do have an option for you though we don't offer any factory tow package wiring harnesses for a 2021 Kia Sorento. Instead, you will need to use one that plugs in behind the tail lights which will work whether or not you have any sort of factory tow package. For this, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK26FR which provides a standard 4-way flat connector.

I'm not sure what the plugs are that you found located inside the rear bumper but they are not used for the installation of this wiring harness. In order to install the wiring harness you will need to remove both drivers and passengers side tail lights. The T-One Connector will plug in between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock...
view full answer... - How Do I Tell if I Have a Factory Tow Package on My 2022 Kia Sorento? In order to tell if you have a factory tow package on your 2022 Kia Sorento, there will be tail light wiring connectors behind the rear driver's side tire. This will be on the exterior of the frame rail. In order to see these ports, you will have to remove the underbody cover in order to expose those connectors. I went ahead and attached a photo of what these connectors look like on a 2020 model. Your will look very similar. If you discover that you do not have the factory tow package,...

The harness installs by plugging inline between the taillight assemblies and the vehicles taillight wiring harnesses.

If you bought the vehicle with the towing package, then the wires will be incorporated in the factory harness. Right now, there is only one plug in style adapter # TK26FR available right now for your Sorrento that does not require splicing into the factory wiring. There will be a connector located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Taillight of 2022 Kia Sorento Not Working After Install of Tekonsha HarnessMost likely the connectors of the Tekonsha harness part # TK26FR are just not fully seated to the wiring of your 2022 Kia Sorento which is why the taillight of the vehicle stopped working. I would try unplugging and replugging in the connectors and that should clear out the issue.

view full answer... - Will Tekonsha Powered Taillight Converter Draw Power When Vehicle is OffThe Tekonsha # TK26FR T-One connector will not draw power from the tow vehicle unless the trailer lights are illuminated. Although it isn't necessary to do so, you could pull the 10A fuse from the holder where it connects to the battery when you're not towing if you wish. We don't recommend connecting that power wire in any other manner that a direct connection to the positive battery terminal. If you draw the power from the 12-v socket, you'll be pulling power for the trailer lights through...

The # 118269 would plug into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located along the frame rail at the rear of your vehicle. This would be the option that requires the least amount of disassembly of your Sorento. If you do not have the factory tow package then you would want to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK26FR (which...

Ive pulled several trailers since installing the wiring and everything is working great. Ive even travelled through a massive snow storm with slush and ice buildup under the car and in the wheel wells. My wiring remains intact and undamaged.
