• Adding a 5-Way Trailer Connector to a 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  
• If your 2016 Jeep Cherokee did not come with the factory tow package then the first step is to add a 4-Way flat connector using # 118605. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You can then turn it into a 5-Way by adding 4- to 5-Way adapter # 20036. Please note that a 4-Way flat can plug into a 5-Way receptacle so you won't have to have 2 different connectors on the Jeep. With the adapter you will need to find a place to tap into the reverse light wire. Jeep...

• Mounting a 4 and 5-Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box

• Mounting Options for 4-Pole Connector on 2010 Mazda CX-9
  
• I have just returned from the warehouse and have looked at the actual hitch. The hitch does feature the mounting plate and is exactly as shown in the photo. The easiest method would be to keep the connector in the cargo area until needed. When you are towing, you can run the wire out the rear door and close the door on it. The weatherstripping around the rear door is thick enough that the wires will not be damaged, as long as you avoid the area around the latch. This method provides...

• Running a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness to the Outside of Jeep
  
• It is an easy process to install the wiring harness; I will quickly go over the steps, but also attach the instructions in a PDF file for your convenience. You are correct with assuming you use the taillights. Start on the driver's side, remove taillight, and plug harness in; next ground the harness with the white wire. Route the T-Connector end with the 4-flat down through the taillight pocket between bumper and body and towards the center of the bumper. Secure remainder of harness...

• How to Protect Superwinch Quick Connectors for Winch Wiring on a Truck
  
• The Superwinch quick connectors # SW1551 themselves do not have any sort of cover to protect them from the elements. But what you could do is modify mounting box # RP74641 and that will help protect them. There is no one place that you have to mount the connectors. You can mount them in a place that works best for you. We do sell 10 gauge wire. I recommend # 10-2-1 since it is 2 wires in 1 sheath. It is sold by the foot so if you needed 20 feet you would put 20 in the quantity box.

• How to Protect Trailer Wiring on a 2011 Subaru Forester from Winter Weather
  
• If the dealer does not have the exact part, you may be able to take the grommet with you to a hardware store where you may find something that will work in its place. I could not find an aftermarket grommet. It may be that the vehicle is still fairly new and that part is not yet available. Another option is to provide some protection for the wiring. For the actual wires, you can use a wire loom, # 39035. I would would go ahead and wrap the wiring in electrical tape for added protection. ...

• What Do I Need to Use Hitch 24733 with my 2004 Chevy Cavalier
  
• The hitch, # 24733, includes all the mounting hardware you need to install the hitch to your 2004 Chevy Cavalier. In order to tow a trailer, you also need to purchase a drawbar, and the ball itself that sits on the drawbar.

Your drawbar requires a ball with a shank diameter of 3/4 inch. I have added a page link that will...

• Installation of Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness 118258 On a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
  
• I have attached an installation video of the # 118258 wiring harness on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe for you. The installation is pretty straight forward once you have gained access to the factory connectors. To do this, you are going to start by lowering the spare tire, and then you would open up the cargo area and remove the access panels, threshold trim, trunk floor panels and trays. Proceed by removing the trim panel on the driver side, but make sure you remove the fastener on the driver...

• Options for Mounting Dealer Installed Trailer Connector on 2008 Subaru Outback
  
• The Trailer Connector Mounting Box, part # RP74641 has slits at the corners of the hole in the back of the box. These slits can be enlarged by using a utility knife, and allow your trailer connector to pass through from the rear. To mount a connector I like the 4 Pole Knock-Out Adapter, part # 30601 with brackets # 118137 and # C57202. The # C57202 bracket would attach to your hitch using the included pipe clamp, bracket # 118137 would attach to it, and the Knock-Out Adapter would mount...

• Mounting 4-Pole Connector from T-1 Connector Part # 118269 on 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  
• The 4-pole connector at the end of your trailer wiring harness can certainly be zip tied, but using an installation bracket like part # 18144 along with a no drill mount like part # 18140 is recommended for a clean looking installation. A storage box, part # RP74641 is also offered. On my wifes KIA Sedona, I used the no drill mount, part # 18140, the bracket, part # 118137 and the knock out adapter, part # 30601. Your existing 4-pole would plug into the rear of the adapter and would...

• Does the T-Connector Wiring Harness Violate the Warranty on 2010 Chevy Equinox
  
• The T-Connector Wiring Harness for the 2010 Chevy Equinox, part # 56094, is very easy to install. You will simply plug it into the factory connectors behind your tail lights and you will be ready to tow. Installing a wiring harness will not interfere with your warranty.

• Recommended Mounting Bracket for a 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2000 Toyota Sienna
  
• I went out to the warehouse and pulled the wiring harness, # 46475, and the mounting bracket, # 18144, to test them together. The two will not fit together without either modifying the bracket or the harness, so I do not recommend using them together. Instead, I recommend using a mounting box, part # RP74641. This box will provide a clean look while also help to keep the harness out of the elements. You will need to enlarge the hole in the back of the box so the end of the harness will...

• What Brand of 4-Way Trailer Connectors Fits Tow Ready 4-Way Connector Mounting Bracket
  
• The 4-Pole mounting bracket # 18144 is designed for Tow Ready brand 4-Way trailer connectors but could also fit other brands such as Curt wiring harnesses. Some 4-Ways have an extra thick housing that is not compatible. This seems to be the case with Hopkins brand 4-Ways so I would not use this bracket for a Hopkins 4-Way. For l thicker than normal 4-Way connector I would use housing # RP74641. It will also help protect the 4-Way from the elements.
