  • 4 Flat
  • 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 behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite power module that connects directly 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: 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 behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will need to remove the tail lights to access this harness.


T-One Connection Location Points Behind Tail Lights

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 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 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.

I am one of those people who was able to get a 2022 Ford Maverick only by removing the trailer hitch from the order. So I welded up a hitch and bought this wiring harness. Everything plugged in and it works as advertised.

I had to add additional wire protection in two places. It would have been nice if a foot of wire loom had been included in the kit. The Ford Maverick comes with a connector and pigtail that plugs into a 12 volt connector located inside the rear of the box. I connected the 12 volt line to that connector instead of running a wire to the engine compartment. This was a lot less work and made for a cleaner installation. Since it is a 15 amp fused circuit, there was no need for the fuseholder included in the kit.

A year and a half later, the wiring harness is still working like it should. Only one minor problem - the dust cap is not quite dust tight and dust gets into the connector.

I think there could have been more guidance on where to wire and place the harness. The zip ties provided were pretty low quality with a few that did not work. Also there was some conduit that was used in the install video that is not provided in the kit. I think it would be helpful to show an install with what is provided in the kit and not anything extra that I would not have lying around.

Wiring instructions are for gas only not Hybrid.

In this instance the harness works with both versions gas or hybrid. The connectors are the same with both options.

2023 Ford Maverick

Instructions on tail light removal were vague. Had to google to find out the lights need to be pulled out at a 45 degree angle.
Kit was an easy install with no issues.
Used the 20 amp supply to the box on drivers side tailgate pillar rather than run power from battery.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Ford Maverick
    Congrats on the new vehicle! To add a hitch with a 2" receiver to your 2023 Ford Maverick, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C84BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Maverick with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and 400 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. I have attached a couple of pictures below...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2023 Ford Maverick
    It sure does, yes; I verified directly with the manufacturer that the Curt hitch does fit your 2023 Ford Maverick. The correct part number for your truck is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84BR The # C84BR is a complete bolt-on installation so you do not have to do any drilling into your Maverick's frame to install it. The only other thing you will need if you plan on doing some towing is a 4-flat wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK53VR.

    Yes, we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84BR for your 2023 Ford Maverick. This custom fit receiver requires no drilling to complete the installation.

  • How to Add a 7-Way to a 2023 Ford Maverick
    To install a 7-Way harness on your 2023 Ford Maverick you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is the Tekonsha T-OneVehicle Wiring Harness item # TK53VR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Maverick's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector.

  • Parts Needed To Install a Redarc Trailer Brake Controller On a 2022 Ford Maverick
    It does not appear your 2022 Ford Maverick has a plug for a aftermarket trailer brake controller. It will depend on what type of trailer connector if any your Maverick will have from the factory. If you do not have any trailer connector the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK53VR is where you need to start. This will connect to the Universal Install Kit # ETBC7 which would also connect to a factory 4-way flat connector if that is what you have. This kit provides all the wiring needed to...

  • Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Kit # TK53VR Have to be Ran to Battery
    Hey Tim, so we get this question a lot and we totally understand the temptation to run the power wire to an easier location than the battery but you do really have to run the line up to the battery. The reason for that is this is a form of circuit protection in the event of a short as it wouldn't damage any of the vehicles circuits. So to bypass this would put the wiring at risk.

  • Where Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Run for 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid
    When running the power wire for the Tekonsha wiring harness part # TK53VR you would need to run it to the battery in your rear seat like you mentioned. There isn't anything different that would need to happen.
