Features to know about

Effortless Installation: Plug-and-Play Design

Say goodbye to cutting, splicing, or tapping into your vehicle's wiring. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness by Tekonsha features a simple, plug-and-play design that connects directly into your vehicle's existing wiring system. This ensures a quick and easy installation process, transforming what could be a daunting task into a straightforward one. It's perfect for DIY enthusiasts who value efficiency and simplicity.

Reliable Trailer Lighting: Powered ModuLite System

Worried about overloading your vehicle's electrical system while powering trailer lights? The built-in ModuLite system in this wiring harness takes that worry off your shoulders. It acts as a tail light converter, ensuring your vehicle's brake and turn signals seamlessly integrate with your trailer’s lighting system. This powerful module draws energy directly from your vehicle's battery, preventing any strain on your tail light circuits, thus promising reliable trailer lighting every trip.

Versatile Compatibility: Connect with Multiple Adapter Types

Driving a vehicle with varying trailer connectors can be frustrating. This harness, however, is compatible across the board, as it connects effortlessly with 5-pole, 6-pole, and 7-pole adapters. Whether you're using a boat trailer or a utility trailer, this harness ensures your vehicle’s lights sync perfectly every time, eliminating any hassle with compatibility.

Tailored for Perfect Fit: Custom Vehicle Integration

The T-One Wiring Harness is crafted to fit perfectly in specified vehicle models, including many Subaru models like Outback and Forester. Designed to interface flawlessly with the vehicle’s original wiring, it means no more worrying about customization or adjustments—it’s built for your car from the get-go. Its custom fit provides not only a seamless integration but also a dependable connection that withstands the rigors of frequent use.

Durability and Quality Assurance: Sturdy 16-Gauge Bonded Wire Construction

Quality and durability are at the forefront with this wiring harness. Constructed from robust 16-gauge bonded wire, it can handle a maximum amperage of 2.1 amps per stop/turn lights circuit and 4.2 amps per tail lights circuit, ensuring long-lasting performance. Trust in the one-year limited warranty that promises reliability and peace of mind with every journey.

Hassle-Free Trailer Connectivity: 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector with Dust Cap

Optimize your towing experience with ease and protection against the elements. The harness’s 4-way flat trailer connector comes with a dust cap, ensuring that when you’re not towing, your connector stays clean and free from debris. This small addition makes a big difference in maintaining the integrity and longevity of your wiring system, leading to lower maintenance needs and more time enjoying your adventures.

Specs

Maximum Amperage

  • Stop/turn lights: 2.1 amps per circuit
  • Tail lights: 4.2 amps per circuit

Warranty

  • 1-Year limited warranty

Installation

  • This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, either behind the driver's-side tail light assembly or in the spare tire compartment. You will need to remove paneling to access this harness.
  • Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
  • It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

ModuLite Powered Tail Light Converter

  • A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of your trailer.
  • This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
  • With a ModuLite, your trailer's lights will be powered without overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Because the module draws power directly from your car's battery and bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.

Note

  • This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.

  • Will the T-One Wiring Harness # 118461 Fit a Japanese Model 1999 Subaru Forester
    The connector on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, item # 118461, is a 6 pin connector and most likely will not work on your vehicle if the connector is a 10 pin connector. See if you can find a mating connector in the rear of your vehicle. Look around because the Subaru Forester connector can be in several locations like right up against the back seat or on the drivers side, passengers side or on along the back threshold of the vehicle. You may find the correct...

  • Recommended Brake Controller For 2008 Subaru LLBean Outback
    The best brake controller for your 2008 Subaru Outback is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This brake controller is similar in size to many others, but the functions are much easier to understand with the LCD screen. This controller runs constant diagnostics and will allow you to see issues without needing to decipher codes. It is customizable to driver perferences and has 3 levels of boost. For your 2008 Outback, you will need to use the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7....

    Hey Travis, the best brake controller solution we have for what you mentioned wanting is the Tekonsha Brake EVN part # TK28BR as this is one of the better performing controllers that is also at a much better price. There are a lot cheaper options out there but this one works really well and doesn't break the bank. To install it you'll first need a 4-way trailer wiring kit installed like the part # 118461 which is confirmed fit for your 1998 Subaru Forester and then to convert to a 7-way...

  • Troubleshooting Older 2001 Subaru Outback Wagon Curt Wiring Harness Keeping Trailer Lights On
    Thanks for reaching out about the Curt Wiring Kit # C55370 on your 2001 Subaru Outback Wagon, John! This wiring kit has the older module version from Curt so if you've had it installed for a number of years I'm pretty confident the module has gone bad and is causing the lights to be on all the time. You've done a great job at narrowing this down with the troubleshooting steps you've already taken. I recommend replacing the Curt with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118461 which...

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Wiring For 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Trailer Brake Controller, part # TK63VR is designed for electric only brakes. It will not work with electric over hydraulic brakes. We do offer brake controllers like part # 90885 that can be used with both brake systems. When wiring the brake controller, the red wire needs to be attached to a wire that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed. Typically, this is the cold side of the brake light switch, found under the dash at the top of the brake pedal....

    I'll give you all of the customer advice we've had to help you find the connector to install the Tow Ready Harness part # 118461. The first one I believe is the most likely solution. The wiring harness was a simple plug in, by the left tailight, but a little tricky to get it to run out of the car. There actually was an oval rubber body plug up under the fender that you can just barely see from inside, and you can feel from outside, that I popped out and put a hole in for the wiring harness...

This is confirmed to fit your vehicle and we have also had customers install this hitch onto their LL Bean Model with the dual exhaust and reported no interference issues. This 2 inch hitch will provide a 400 pound tongue weight and 4,000 pound towing weight capacity, although I also recommend checking the vehicle's capacities as listed in the owner's manual....

  • Trailer Wiring Plug Location on a 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon GT
    If your 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon GT is not the Outback version, then you will not actually have a plug-in point for a trailer wiring harness. Non-Outback versions of the wagon must hard wire to install a 4-Way trailer connector, using a kit like part # C55370. To hard wire the kit, you would use the included circuit tester to determine which wire carries each function behind your vehicle tail lights. You will also need to run a power wire to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery....

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon
    For your 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon there are both Class II and Class III trailer hitches available.

I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with...

It can also be located on the drivers side, behind the side panel a few feet toward the front of the vehicle. The connector itself is sometimes located behind the wiring harness, so it is difficult to see. You can...

Either hitch would fit your 2005 Subaru Forester. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. Then you will need to add a properly sized ball and the wiring.

  • Location of the Trailer Wiring Connector on a 2002 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon
    On the 2002 Legacy Outback Wagon the wiring harness is sometimes hard to find. For some reason it gets routed differently and can be in the spare tire well, up along the back near the bottom of the rear seat or under the rear panel nearest the hatch. I spoke to our installation technician and he said that he removes all of the panels and follows the vehicle wiring harness along until he comes across the connector.

Instead, you would need to purchase each of the components separately.

    The trailer wiring harness connector you will need to locate to install a trailer wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118461 on a 2005 Subaru Legacy will be located in the rear hatch, near the spare tire well. That said, this model is a bit trickier than most so you will most likely end up removing more panels than needed to find it. It can be to the left or right of the spare tire well behind the panel or in between the seat and spare tire well under that panel.
