Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

A year out still 5 stars. Its common on these 4 pin connectors to have the plastic rub off next to the single exposed pin, this is no different. Still functional and stays connected throughout use.

This part is meant for Jeeps that have the factory tow package. I am wondering if that is the issue here. If your jeep doesnt have that then you would need part # 118425.

I recently recieved my tow hitch for a 2000 Dodge Dakota. The part arrived promptly and in excelent condition. I was very pleased with the quality of this hitch by Curt. It was very stout and had great welds. I haven't had a chance to mount the unit yet but the measurements look to be right on. etrailer.com has a new customer.

The product was everything that was advertised it arrived in perfect condition I guess I just misunderstood what I needed and inevitably ordered the wrong part my 05 Jeep Liberty did not come with a 7-way so I need a different harness to be able to hook up my trailer should have called customer service first

If your Liberty didnt have the factory 7-way, I would recommend the # 118524 Tekonsha powered taillight converter.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The kit was extremely easy to install and fits like a fine glove. So easy in fact that the factory could not have done better looking job. Works great although I rarely use my trailer but I know when I do, I can rest assured that the wiring will not be a problem as it used to be.

have since started driving a different vehicle. My jeep bit the dust. I liked the harness and it always worked fine but I didnt get to use it too long. I do remember how easy and well thought out the installation process was. I do keep a link to your website and have turned on others to it. Sometimes it was already too late but now they know its there. Ill definitely keep you guys in mind in the future

Fit just like advertised. They have excellent customer service. Videos and pictures were a great help.

This product was what was recommended by your site as the proper wiring harness and it IS NOT compatible with my vehicle. Our family’s vacation has already been pushed back by 2 days dealing with this situation and we are still working on finding a local solution!

Etrailer Expert

This wiring harness is only compatible if your Freightliner Sprinter has the factory equipped 7-way trailer connector, as we state in our product fit guide. If your Sprinter does NOT have the factory 7-way, youd need part # 118650 instead.



by:

etrailer received, filled, packaged and shipped my small order (wiring harness) within an hour, then turned it over to the US Post Office.... Within 2 days, it crossed the state line from Missouri into Illinois. A few days later, it was received in Chicago and should have arrived in Canada in short order.... Instead, tracking my order a week later revealed that it was resting comfortably in Miami Florida. A call to etrailer and Carol soon straightened things out. It eventually found its way to me and I am quite pleased with the service from etrailer. The Post Office? Well, you know..... Bobber.



by:

The T-wire harness was great, installed well and works fine.
The Seat covers are great as well, durable and easy to install, will consider rear seat covers if available?
The stabilizer bracket would not work with my platform rig, but looked of good quality and I will find a use for it.



by:
2006 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Bought this for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter didn't realize it would not work on a Sprinter with out towing package. Had to buy different kit and splice the wires in (not fun) make sure you have the right kit if you are working on a Sprinter. On a vehicle with the right harness it works great just plug in and go.

DodgeDurango

Thanks to etrailer's excellent customer service, I was FINALLY able to order the correct wiring harness for my '01 Dodge Durango. There are many variables due to several Durango models, and this was the correct one. Has worked flawlessly since installation.



by:

Easy to install, hidden when not in use, doesn't reduce ground clearance and trouble free. Local hitch installer quoted me $350 and said it would take 3" off my clearance. I saved over $200 and got a better setup.



by:
2000 Dodge Dakota

I was in a hurry and I bought the wrong wiring harness. I have ordered the right wiring harness and it is on the way. My truck does not have the factory trailer connections for the wiring harness that I ordered.

It would have been very easy to install but my truck did not have the quick disconnect behind the bumper.

You mentioned that you were not able to find the connector and I wanted to ask if you were adding on the 4 flat or replacing it.



by:

I've had this on my truck for a year to pull my little 5x8 utility trailer for work. It's worked every time so far and haven't had any issues with it. So far so good. Oh, and it only took about 20 minutes to install of you're into that kind of thing.



by:

Super easy to install and worked right away, no additional fuses or lights necessary. Videos were easy to find on [online] and very easy to follow. Would recommend this to anybody. Mine did not come with the double sided tape, but I had some lying around so no worries.



by:
2007 Jeep Liberty

I watched a video of theirs on Youtube which linked to the correct part and I bought what the video linked to, assuming it was the one shown in the video (without the factory 7-way). They sold me the one that uses the factory 7-way (which I don't have) and when I called asking to exchange it for the right one, they said it wasn't possible. They said they'd take it on refund, but are charging me for return shipping, and considering it's such a lightweight and cheap part to ship (and their website's mistake), I'm losing a significant portion of the money I spent on it.



by:
2007 Dodge Dakota

didn't even install it .... my Dakota had no hook up ... had to hardwire a connector .... waste of $15 , not even worth my time returning it .... I did buy a hitch that I am using though ... should have bought a chevy



by:

Wrong product .. reordered correct one .. said this was 4 pin connection, but requires vehicle to be equipped with 7 pin connection from factory. Guess you have to read the fine print

Etrailer Expert

1/24/2022

For a 2004 Dodge Dakota with a factory seven way this harness adds a 4 flat. For a 2004 Dodge Dakota that did not come with a factory harness part # 118323 would be a fit.



by:

I realized it helped being from the same state that the product was from but I have literally never seen a general delivery arrive in less than 24 hours until I ordered the receiver and wiring harness from here. I had it in mind that it would take at least 3 to 5 days but was shocked to see it already here the next day.

  • Wiring Harnesses For a 2007 Dodge Dakota With Factory Tow Connection Points
    I have a few options for your 2007 Dodge Dakota that has the factory tow connectors. Be sure to check your fuse panel for the necessary fuses to power the trailer connector functions as they may have been left out from the factory. First is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118381 which is only going to give you a 4-way flat connector. Second is the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM42190 that will give you a 7-way connector. Finally the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer...

    The 2004 Dodge Ram pickup would use the # 3020-P brake controller wiring adapter, which is the same one used by the 2008 model. The connector will be located pretty near where the one in the 2008 model is. The connector is blue in color, and is either above or alongside of the white junction box mounted to the firewall under the dash behind the emergency brake pedal. Keep in mind, that connector will only be present if the truck is equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector. If...

You will also want to make sure you are using the correct wiring harness. For a 2006 Jeep Commander with no factory package, you will need to use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118408, instructions linked below.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2007 Mercedes Sprinter RV Chassis
    For your 2007 Dodge Sprinter RV chassis the brake and turn signals are sent along separate wires. A converter is required unless the vehicle is equipped with a tow package plug. The tow package plug has already been converted. If you need a 4-way and you HAVE the tow package you only need the part # 118381, if you do not then you'd need the part # 118650 which does use a converter box.

  • How Much Can a 2008 Dodge Durango Tow
    The 2008 Dodge Durango if properly equipped (SLT, 2WD, 5.7 V8) can tow up to 8,950 lbs so it is very possible to tow a car dolly. In order to tow a car dolly you must first have a trailer hitch and if you don't already have one I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75162 because it is very easy to install, only four bolts total and there is no drilling/cutting required.

    For your 2007 Jeep Liberty, many people have a receiver for a bike rack or cargo carrier and have not added the trailer wiring which sounds like what you are finding. If your vehicle has the factory tow package, the harness you will need to connect to is found under the vehicle in the center behind your hitch receiver. If you have that tow package then you can simply use the Tekonsha # 118381 for a 4-Way or # 20135 for a 7-way. You may still need to add # 5506 on some models for 12v...

Installing the Activator # 5504 in your van requires a pigtail lead # 20127, a basic 4-pole trailer harness like # 118381 (if you have a factory 7-way) or # 18252 (without factory 7-way) along with brake controller Installation Kit # ETBC7.

    Your RV has separate turn signal from stoplights so while I have a solution I can provide, it will not involve the 6-way socket you have.

  • Running Lights on Trailer Blowing Fuse
    There is likely a short circuit somewhere that is causing the fuse to blow. Let's start by disconnecting the trailer from the tow vehicle. Shorts are often caused by a dirty or corroded connector, or a damaged wire, so make sure that both the vehicle and trailer wiring harness connectors are free from corrosion and dirt. If you notice any corrosion you'll need to replace the wiring harness that is corroded, with one similar to # 118381 for a 4 way flat connector but that matches your existing...

There is also a 1-1/4” receiver (Draw-Tite # 36362 ) but it does not offer the same towing capacities, and a 2” receiver will be more rigid when using bike or cargo mounts.

    If your 2005 Dodge Durango came with the factory installed 7-Way and for whatever reason it is no longer there then yes, using # 118381 will provide the lighting functions for the trailer: running lights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the vehicle did not come with a factory trailer connector then you would use harness # 118390 which plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring and requires a direct connection to the vehicle battery.

If you don't have the factory tow package then you need the Tekonsha # 118524 which does have the converter.
