Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2006 Toyota Highlander

Today we are going to do an install of part number 118248 the T One connector from Tow Ready. It will be installed on our 2006 Toyota Highlander. To get to our access point which is about down here and underneath this panel. So we will have to roll back the carpeting and pull up the tray and gain access that way. Once you get everything out of the way it is pretty clear that this is the plug right here for the harness. So our T connector can plug right into here. Then our ground wire will actually mount to this ground bolt right here. We took our ground bolt out and we will simply install our ground wire here and run it back through there and install it. Next we will install the module box itself using the self adhesive tape that is on the backside of the connector.

We will hide it back in here in this cavity. Then we can string out our cable here and it is actually stored inside when it is not being used. The last thing we will have to do is install a fuse for our tow package. To install our fuse we will have to get underneath the hood to get to the fuse box here. Which is in this location right here where you will simply install the fuse. Back to the rear of the vehicle we are going to go ahead and zip tie all the loose wires in here into a wire bundle so we can keep everything nice and neat. Now we will go ahead and reinstall the interior. While we are reinstalling our interior there looks to be a little notch here. That is where we are going to push the wire into.

We will bring the leftover into the tray so it can be stored there. That is the install but now I am going to show you how to use it. You have to get back inside and pull your cover up and pull out the harness and leave it out by your hitch. Go ahead and shut the door on it because the door has plenty of wiggle room to make it work. That covers our install of part number 118248 the T One connector from Tow Ready. Installed on a 2006 Toyota Highlander.

The product was an exceptional value, shipped & recieved 5 days of order ( I thought that was a great turnaround time). The product fit as discribed on the installation video. I would recommend this site to anyone interested in their tow package wiring harness. The installation demo video was the number 1 selling point. It was a very detailed demo that allowed me to do the installation without the dealers help ( they wanted $70 for some part, but couldn't tell me how to install it or where it should plug in). 30222

EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICE!!! I literally received my wiring harness and cargo carrier in two days. I just assembled both and it was a piece of cake. Etrailer has the best value out there folks, hands down. I did my research, purchased from Etrailer and assembled today. Katie from Etrailer sent me an email just to make sure I had received the product and was satisfied. You just don't find this type of quality and service in today's market. Thank you Etrailer folks, you are a 10 out of a 10!!!!!29259

Very nice products - loved the fabrication and powder-coating of the hitch. Shipped promptly, good on-line tracking information. Good prices. Good instructions. It only took about an hour to install the hitch and wiring harness. Only possible improvements might be to omit the purchase order label stuck to the hitch. It was tough to get off. The installation took a little longer because I had to run to the parts store as part of the installation was to purchase three plastic one-time fasteners that Toyota uses to cover the fuse panel. I'm a happy customer! 17047

Perfect Fit! I could not tow my small trailer at night for the last two weeks, do to the fact that my suv wire harness was poorly installed. I ordered my new wire harness from Etrailer and I am back in business. Installation was about 15min. and now my trailer lights are brighter. Shipping time was great and so was there customer service.

Very Good Product This appears to be a very high quality product and installation took about a half hour. Two tips: it comes with a 10 amp fuse, not the needed 20 amp fuse; and a Toyota mechanic pointed out that there is a plug in the floor which should be removed to route the wires under the car and out to the bumper. Actually, I slit the plug with a utility knife and fitted it back around the wires after routing them.805

  • Will Wiring Harness Part # 118248 Fit a 2007 Toyota Highlander without a Tow Package
  • The 118248 is only for 2007 Highlanders with a tow package. If you do not have a tow package, you would use part # 118413.

  • Wiring Harness for a 2003 Toyota Highlander
  • The wiring harness you referred to, product number 118248, will not fit your vehicle. You will need either wiring harness part number 118413 or 33425 for your 2003 Toyota Highlander. If your vehicle has the tow package, please use item number 118245. This is the connector which plugs into the white plug you found. There are instruction sheets for each of the parts listed on their product page. For your convenience, I have attached links to all of the items I referred to. I have also attached

  • Routing 4-way Connector To The Outside on a 2005 Toyota Highlander
  • Once you have the rear carpeting and package tray out of the vehicle you should be able to find a grommet, or black rubbery tape, somewhere under the package tray or around the edge of the rear compartment that is large enough to route the 4-way connector, item # 118248, through and close enough so the connector can reach the hitch.

  • Parts Needed to Equip a 2007 Toyota Highlander to Tow with Electric Brakes
  • To equip your 2007 Toyota Highlander to tow with electric brakes, you would first need to install a 4-way plug. The 4-way plug for Highlander models equipped with a factory tow package would be wiring harness # 118248. You will also need to install a brake controller. I recommend the Prodigy brake controller # 90185, as it includes a wire pigtail that you will use to hard wire the brake controller to the vehicle. To install the 7-way plug on your Highlander, I recommend brake controller

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2004 Toyota Highlander with Factory Tow Package
  • Since it sounds as if your Highlander is equipped with the tow package, your best bet would be to use the harness designed to be used in vehicles with the tow package, part # 118248. This harness would utilize the factory connector located in the cargo area as shown in the instructions. You could certainly use either the # 118413 or 33425. Each of these harnesses install by plugging inline to the existing wiring behind the tail light assemblies, which would be more complex and time consuming tha

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
  • I believe I know what the problem is. Your 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid probably does not have the factory towing package. This would mean that the plug where you connect the 118248 harness is not pre-wired from the factory so it will not work. On our site there are 2 wiring harness options for your vehicle, one if the vehicle has a tow package, # 118248, and one that I believe you need if the vehicle does not have a tow package, # 119176KIT. The # 119176KIT harness gets signals from the

  • Does Anything Need to Be Changed When Going From Incandescent Bulbs to Led Trailer Lights
  • You should have no problem using the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118248 on your 2007 Toyota Highlander with a trailer that has LED tail lights. The only time LED lights require something being changed is when you go from incandescent bulbs on a blinker circuit of a vehicle to LED lights. Then you might have a hyper-flashing situation, but that is not an issue with trailers. It should perform fine with either bulb style on a trailer.
