Installation

T-One Connection Location Points

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath your vehicle, along the driver's-side frame rail.


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.

This harness makes wiring my 94 Chevy Silverado for my trailer lights as easy as plugging in a lamp to a wall socket. No cutting, splicing or taping of wires. It plugs in to your factory harness under the left rear side of the bumper and you just route the cable over to the center of your bumper.

1997 ChevroletC/K Series Pickup

This was a very simple plugin installation. I did have to drill a hole for a self tapping screw for the ground wire (the drill size was a little larger than what the instructions called for). Just make sure you put it where the spare tire will not come into contact with it. (I had to do it twice). I'm very happy with my new hitch and wire harness. Shipping was fast. I think I ordered it Friday morning and received it Monday or Tuesday.

Speedy delivery and the harness was very easy to hook up. Thank you etrailer.

Excellent product, easy to install, works perfectly. Needed to drill a 1/8 inch hole as opposed to the 3/32 in the instructions for the ground wire connection but a simple fix. Installed it to later connect an LED tailgate light bar.

Everything I needed was there. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. Lot of work but results were professional.



by:
1997 ChevroletC/K Series Pickup

Exactly what I ordered. A no brainer. Literally a plug and go deal here. Absolutly no splicing or destroying your factory wire harness. The other trailer light connector styles require you to cut and splice in a wire allowing for moisture to cause corrosion. A little electirical grease before connecting it and my connections have been corrosion free for over a year now. Very satisfied. Have recomended time and time again. I pull trailers every day and this product has held up. Plan on purchasing 4 more in the future for my other trucks.



by:
1994 ChevroletC/K Series Pickup

The trailer light hook-up for my '94 Chevy truck came very quickly, even though I picked economy shipping. I was delighted that it came so fast, but it was a few days before I got the time to install it.
I was expecting to take apart my lights and hook in behind the light bulbs like I did on my Ford E250 which was simple enough. (The harness on the E250 is still going strong several years later by the way.)
This light kit only took about 15 minutes to install. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. What took the most time was rounding up a couple of zip ties and drilling a little hole to put a ground screw in. This was so quick and very, very easy.

I do lawn mowing and landscaping. I use my trailer a lot. The good people at the package store where I bought my trailer were suggesting a person to custom install a light harness on my vehicle for a little more than a hundred dollars. This etrailer kit cost me less than $$.00 all told, part and shipping included.
These people at etrailer are so very helpful and can save you so much money and frustration. You owe it to yourself to give them a try.

Thanks etrailer. Awesome product and service. I will definitely use you again. In fact, I expect to order a frame mount hitch receiver from you later this spring.

1998 ChevroletC/K Series Pickup

Installation on my Chevy C1500 was a breeze. Simple plug and play, secured w/ zip tie then attached ground to body, adding a dab of electrical grease (wire to body). I purchased the flat 4 mounting bracket, drilled two holes , and mounted it on the bottom of bumper near the ball. A dab of electrical grease on the flat 4 dust cap and it's good to go. I must of looked at it four times afterwards, thinking, man that looks good. Just buy it, you've already been thinking about it.

Ordered the Curt trailer hitch and trailer wiring harness for my 1998 Chevy . Was shipped out the day I ordered. Extremely pleased with products! Was searching for a no drill install and this was perfect. Bolted right up and harness was a simple unplug and plug back in. Total install time was 45 minutes and that was by myself laying on garage floor. Price was on point as well. I highly recommend etrailer.com .

Thanks etrailer

I was a little concerned when I opened the package and the product I received did not look exactly like what was pictured in the catalog, but it fit perfectly. I've had an on-again-off-again problem with my "professionally" wired trailer lights from day one. The eTrailer wiring T eliminated a rat's nest of wires, fixed my problem, I did it myself, and I saved big bucks!

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1990 Chevy C2500 Short Bed With Ranch Hand Bumper
    For your 1990 Chevy C2500 with ranch hand bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 41504. This is an easy bolt-on installation that has long side brakets to help distribute the weight over a large portion of the frame for increased towing ability. It is a square tube design with black powder coat over an e-coat base for superior rust protection. If you don't already have trailer wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle...

    The wire from the Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller, part # 90195, that connects to the brake light switch is Red. To determine which wire you will need to splice into on your 1994 GMC Sierra, you will need to use a circuit tester, part # PTW2993. You will need to connect the red wire from the brake controller to the wire that only has signal when the brakes are applied. If you have trouble finding the stoplight switch wire, you can splice into the Center High-Mount Stoplight wire. In...

    To wire a 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of your 1994 Chevy pickup, you will need to start with a working 4-way connector, item # 118315, if your truck is not already equipped with one. You would then use the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter, item # 37185, and plug in the 4-Way on the truck to provide the stop turn and tail light functions in the adapter.

    The 2000 Chevy C/K Series does not have a plug in the relay box or under the dash to plug a brake controller adapter into.

  • Will an Old Reese Multi-fit Trailer Hitch Fit a 2000 GMC 1/2 Ton Pickup Truck
    The old multi-fit trailer hitch, 37042, was made obsolete in August of 2009. But I managed to find a list of the vehicles that it fits. It does NOT fit your 2000 GMC 1/2 ton pickup truck. The most popular hitch for a 2000 GMC C/K Series 1500 is # C14081. I also recommend ball mount kit # EBMK2416. And if you need trailer wiring use # 118315.

If you do not have one, you will first need a 4-Way connector at the rear of your truck. I would recommend you get a Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118315.

It will fit a standard or step bumper. For a roll-pan bumper, use # 41522. For your wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118315 to get a 4 way connection. Then you will want to add the # ETBC7 to get your 7 way connection along with the circuit breakers,...

  • Fit of Tow Ready T-One Connector # 118315 on 1989 Chevy K1500 w/ Custom Bumper
    The Tow Ready # 118315 is designed to fit a 1989 Chevy K1500 with a stock bumper. The lamps on your bumper should plug into the factory wiring harness on the driver's side frame rail. The # 118315 will plug inline at that connection as long as it hasn't been altered. If your connector looks like what's shown in the photo and video I've linked for you, the # 118315 should fit without cutting or splicing.

    Yes, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 37130 will have the capacity for a trailer weighing 7,000 pounds. This hitch maxes out at 7,000 pounds without weight distribution so you might consider a higher capacity hitch. Curt trailer hitch # C14081 is a great option. It is only a few dollars more than the Class III hitch and it has a 10,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity. Be sure to consult the truck owners manual to make sure it too can tow the 7,000 pound trailer. Installation is fairly straight...

At this time there is not a trailer hitch receiver for the 2500/3500 trucks with a roll pan. The # 13942 has a 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating making it a...
