Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter using this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing factory 7-way - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.

Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily to your existing 7-way - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind rear bumper
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, on the driver's side.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 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.

Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 Van

Today on this 2001 Dodge Ram full size van 3500 we are going to install part number 118381 from Tow Ready. This T-One connector is designed specifically to plug into the van with or without the OEM 7-way connector on the back. This is the connector right here and this van does not have the OEM 7-way connector. We are going to take off this cap right here and then go ahead and install our T-Connector. These little red blocks are what you want to undo first.

Push down this button back here and the cap should come off. Okay, do not loose the cap. What we are going to do next is go ahead and install our T-One connector back into the matching socket. And then go ahead and put the lock back into place. And take your cap which will go on the remaining half that is not being used. Again put the lock into that too. And then all you have to do is just zip tie our wires up and get them out of the way and run our 4-pull wire out to the hitch. Once you have everything connected and secured it is a good idea to go ahead and test it with a light tester first before you connect the trailer so you know the van is working fine before you plug into your trailer. And there you have it for part number 118381 from Tow Ready.

Customer service rep helped me with the right harness. It arrived on time. Worked like a charm. Sure beats running around town trying to buy it from a store whose sales reps that have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about, much less of what they're selling (tried that first, unsuccessfully). Thanks for the help.39264

  • Which T-One Trailer Wiring Harness Fits a 2004 Toyota Sienna Van?
  • The T-One is a custom fit wiring harness, but part number 118381 will not fit your 2004 Sienna Van. This harness is custom fit for a full-sized Dodge van. We do offer a custom harness for the Toyota Sienna Van, the T-One wiring harness you need is part number 118304. For your convenience, I will attach links to the referenced products, a helpful FAQ wiring page and an installation video for the 2004 Sienna.

  • How to Wire a Itasca Navicon Motorhome with Valley 7-Way Wiring for Flat Towing a Jeep
  • Part # 118381 does not have a converter built in. Parts are tricky to select when dealing with motorhomes built off of production chassis. Itasca may have had a certain number of chassis built by Dodge with different wiring for their purposes. The parts we carry like 118381 are designed to be used with the production models sold at dealerships. Fotrunately for you, Itasca teamed up with Valley and have provided you with a 7-Way connector and what ever converting needed to be done has already

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness Should I Get for my 2008 Jeep Liberty, # 118554 or # 118381
  • Both the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2008 Liberty by Jeep, part # 118381, and the Draw-Tite Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2008 Liberty by Jeep, part # 118554, will work on a 2008 Jeep Liberty. The difference is that the #118554 is used on vehicles that do not have a tow package, and the #118381 is for Libertys that have a factory 7 way and want a way to have a 4 way connector as well. If your Jeep Liberty does not have a tow package you will want to use the # 118554 kit

  • Electric Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way Wiring Recommendations for a 2000 Dodge Dakota
  • For your 2000 Dodge Dakota, I recommend the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller, # 90885. This is the latest in the popular Prodigy series of brake controllers and it is easy to use and set up. I have included a link to the installation details below. If the 7-Way on the trailer has blade style connectors, you will also need to add a 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. You will plug your existing 4-Way into the back of the adapter included with the kit. The remaining 4 wires will need to be hardw

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness Fits a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with Factory Tow Package
  • In 2004, the Jeep Grand Cherokee either came with a factory installed 7-Way harness at the rear of the vehicle or no trailer connector. The towing prep package may not necessarily include the 7-Way but it could still have the tow package. This sounds like the case for your vehicle. Since it states that it has the towing package, then you will need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118381, that you have referenced. You will need to locate the factory wiring harness behind the bumper on th

  • Correct Tow Wiring Harness for 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • If your Liberty was equipped with the tow package, it will have the 7-way trailer connector on the rear of the vehicle. Part # 118381 would plug inline with the wiring harness leading to the 7-way. Since you do not have the factory hitch, you probably do not have the tow package and would want to use part # 118554. Installation is pretty simple. Access the rear of the tail light assemblies, plug the connectors inline with the existing connections behind the tail lights, and run the power wire

  • How Do I Install a 5-way Flat Connector at the Back of my 2006 Jeep Commander to Tow my Boat
  • In order to have a 5 pin flat trailer connection you will first need to install the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118381, that you referenced. I attached installation instructions and a link to an installation video for this product below for you to check out also. The next thing you will need is an Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 20036. This adapter will plug into the 4-way that you just installed with the # 118381, and then you can run the blue wire to

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Not Working with Wiring Harness # 118381 on a 2002 Dodge Durango
  • First, in order to use Trailer Wiring Harness, # 118381, your 2002 Dodge Durango will need to be equipped with a factory tow package. If it does have a factory tow package, check the owners manual to find the fuses and/or relays related to the tow package to determine if anything is missing or needs to be replaced. If the Durango does not have a tow package, you will need to use a different wiring harness, # 118334. This harness plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. I have include

  • Wiring Options for Flat Towing a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a 1986 Gruman/Olsen Delivery Van
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118381, that you have referenced cannot be used in a reverse type of application like you are describing. But there are numerous lighting options for flat towing a vehicle that will work for you. The right wiring application for you will depend on several factors. There are basically two types of wiring solutions for flat towing. Permanent solutions and temporary solutions. If you plan on towing the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee often, you would benefit from a p

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7- and 4-Way Trailer Connector to a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500
  • If your Ram has the square plug for the wiring harness, you could use the Multi-Plug T-One Connector Assembly, # 20135, to add a 4 and 7-Way connector. If you have a different wiring situation, to add a 7-Way and 4-Way trailer connector to your 2002 Dodge Ram, you will need to use # 37185. You will need to plug in the existing 4-Way that you have on the truck into the 37185. You will then need to ground the white wire to the truck frame. The purple wire is for reverse lights on the traile

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way, 6-Way and a 4-Way on a 2001 Dodge Van
  • The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118381 that your referenced once installed will give you a functioning 4-way at the rear of your 2001 Dodge Van. Next I would recommend you install a Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole # 37185. This will give you a 4-way and a 7-way. Finally, I would recommend you get a Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47570. This will plug into the 7-way of the # 37185 when needed and give you a 6-way, a 5-way and a 4-way.

  • Will a 2007 Dodge Ram and 2005 Ford Trailer Connectors Match to Tow the Same Trailer
  • Wiring the trailer to match the pin out on the 2007 Dodge Ram should allow it to work with the 2005 Ford as well. The reason is that vehicles generally have the same pin out on the trailer connector, the two most common being a 4-Way flat and 7-Way blade style. To make sure everything matches up and just to be on the safe side you can use a circuit tester like # 3808 to test the functions on the vehicle side connectors. On the trailer side you can either trace each wire back to determine its

  • How to Determine if a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Factory Tow Package
  • The most definite way to determine if you have a tow package or not is to contact a Jeep dealership and give them your VIN number. They will be able to tell by looking at your VIN number whether or not you have the tow package. If you have a factory installed trailer hitch with either a 4-way trailer connector or a 7-way connector then you have the towing package also. The connector should be under the rear bumper on the driver side. If you find that you do not have the towing package you

  • Installing a Brake Controller and 7-Way on a 2007 Dodge Sprinter RV
  • Since your 2007 RV on the Sprinter chassis already has a trailer connector but it does not match either trailer, using the 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7 would be a good idea. This will also provide you with the accessories needed to install the P2 brake controller # 90885. If that green wire does go back to the trailer connector then you will not have to run the blue wire from the connector to the brake controller. You can test it by applying 12 volt power to the wire using a separate

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee without Tow Package
  • Since you do not have the tow package I am assuming you do not have a factory trailer connector. In that case I would recommend you get a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118369. This is the recommended wiring harness for the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees, I attached an install video and installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
