Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2001 Toyota Tundra- Video
Today on our 2001 Toy0ta Tundra, we'll be installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part number C55378. We'll begin here underneath the rear of the vehicle, over here on the drivers side. You'll see that there's a large gray plug right here that actually has an end cap in it. To unplug this, we'll simply push in on the locking tab and gently pull downward. This is the wiring that we'll be tying in the new Curt T-Connector wiring harness to. Now for the box and the 4-flat end of the wiring harness, we're going to route it up here through the frame. This will allow us to protect the box, as well as give us a good flat area to secure the box using the 2-sided tape. We'll go ahead and use a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean the surface first, before we attach the 2-sided tape to the box, and then attach the box to the frame of the vehicle. We'll go ahead and plug in our connection from the new wiring harness to the factory wiring harness, making sure that we hear the locking tab click into place. We'll go ahead and use a few zip-ties to secure up any excess wiring. Now for the 4-flat, we'll route it down here to the center of the hitch area. We'll then take the cover for the 4-flat, put it on the end of the 4-flat, and then loop it through the safety chain hole on the hitch. Once that goes through, we'll take the end cap and put it back over the end of our 4-flat. more

Today on our 2001 Toyota Tundra well be installing the Tow Ready T1 connector, part number 118378. First well need to go ahead and open up the hood to the engine compartment. Well remove the negative battery cable, disconnecting the vehicles electrical system. Were going to go ahead and use the Power Dome LT, part number WC2464 jump box. We can maintain electrical system current so that we dont lose any of the preset functions of the vehicle. To do this well plug the black wire onto the negative battery cable as we remove from the battery, or a ground of the vehicle as seen here on the fender, and then the red clamp well route to the positive battery terminal, or cable as we remove it from the battery. more
