Question Was Asked By - Marta
Question:
I have a 2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor, and I need a wireing harness, what is the difference between a non-powered system and powered system. Will this one work on my car?

Sorry, but that particular wiring harness will not work for your vehicle. Since 07 Endeavors did not come with a tow package, you will need to hardwire your vehicle. The wiring system on this vehicle is not strong enough to support both the vehicle and trailer lights, so a powered converter or Modulite is required. Powered converters (Modulites) are 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 unlike non-powered systems. 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. I would recommend harness 119176. If you do not already have scotch locks and a circuit tester, I would recommend 119176KIT instead, which has those included with the harness. For more detailed tips, I have also included a link to our Wiring FAQ page.
