Your vehicle may be hardwired using the accessories below when a T-One connector is not available.

These accessories are for use when your vehicle manufacturer recommends the use of a powered trailer wiring system, but it is not required in all situations. For more information see below.

The lighting system on utility trailers require that the turn signal and brake signal be sent along the same wire. Because this vehicle has seperate turn and brake wires, a converter is required. Two types of converters exist, the standard converter and the powered converter (a.k.a. Modulite). A standard converter is spliced into and draws power directly from the vehicle's wiring system. Powered converters (Modulites) are also spliced into the vehicle's wiring system to get the signal, but the power for the trailer lights is drawn directly from the vehicle battery. This bypasses all the expensive electrical components on the vehicle and reduces the strain on the wiring system. Circuit protection further safeguards the vehicle and the module itself from mis-wired trailers. For more information see our wiring faq page.

etrailer.com recommends the Circuit Protected Powered Taillight Converter with Installation Kit (# 118176KIT) for your vehicle. If your trailer has a lot of lights, see our chart below to help select the wiring harness that will work best for your application.

Choosing the Right Wiring Harness

In order to choose the correct wiring harness for your vehicle you first must know how many lights are on the trailer you will be pulling.  The number of lights determine the number of amps that the trailer is going to be drawing from the vehicle's wiring system.  Standard Taillights usually require 2 amps per light.  Clearance and Reverse lights take 0.5 amps per bulb.  Some clearance and reverse lights have 2 bulbs.
