Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system.
Features:
Specs:
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, run the red hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way 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 tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
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 the trailer. This converter combines 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.

Worked great until this spring. When I plug into trailer running lights stay on even if vehicle in off. Right signal will not work either. Control box seems bad.
I purchased a Hopkins trailer wiring harness from etrailer because they had the same product as some other sites only they had it for a few dollars cheaper. Obviously I knew what I was going to get from hopkins and that was a quality wiring kit like they always provide. etrailer was a great middle man in getting me the product I wanted at the best price with great customer service. They responded within seconds after my purchase with tracking information and my wiring harness showed up in a box packed by Hopkins... inside another box and some paper for cushioning from etrailer. Great work and thank you for going the extra mile.
Works perfect. Took me more time to run the power wire up to the battery they it did to install the hitch.

Worked great for a few months, then my Durango’s right turn rear signal went out for a few days. The next time I hooked my trailer up there was no left turn on the trailer. After contacting etrailer, they said they would replace it under warranty. I had the replacement installed a few months ago. My right turn signal has been going out again and my trailer lights are acting up again. I would not recommend this product but it’s all I could find.
Perfect! Everything from the ease of ordering, shipped when stated, correct product in box and installation. This harness is a perfect match to my 2014 Durango. Very minimal tools/effort required to install. The instructions are written well and in proper English. The plug and play feature takes all of the guess work away! All lights work properly. Running, brake, turn signal and 4 way. The only con I discovered was the length of the power wire. It’s too short to follow the vehicle’s factory harness. I spent the extra time to install it into the harness as much as possible and decided to take a shortcut in the rear where it was least likely to be subjected to damage. I felt this better than increasing it’s length and risking a voltage loss and higher current draw. Also, to increase longevity, I soldered and heat shrunk the power wire connections. Otherwise, it fits and works perfect!
Bought the first one and it died like 2 weeks after its 90 day warranty. Had to buy another one. So far its still working.

Lousy. It died just out of warranty
Unit shorted out in less than 6 months. Caused intermittent electrical issues with my vehicle. Easy to install.

The vast majority of the time, a short circuit in the trailer wiring is typically what causes a taillight converter to fail. Before replacing the wiring harness/converter, youll want to carefully examine the lighting circuits on the trailer, beginning at the trailer connector, and tracing your way back toward the lamps. Look for pinched or broken wires and loose connections. Check the wire insulation, making sure it isnt cracked or worn away. Points where wiring passes through a hole in the trailer frame are a prime spot for the wire insulation to become compromised. Once the short is located and repaired, replace the harness/converter and you should be fine. Ill link you to a wiring troubleshooting article that you might find helpful as well.

Worked for about 10 months then began causing issues with my Durango’s turn signals. Had to remove from Durango. Installed similar Curt brand harness.
I put this on a 2014 Durango. The installation is fairly easy but time-consuming. I replaced a Kurts harness because it failed twice. So far, this harness works great. I'm very pleased with etrailers customer service. If you have a question, I suggest giving them a call. They are very informative.
All but power line very easy to install (instructions were very clear and accurate. Just finished install and works fine so far

Not too bad. I have to check the wiring because I may have a bad ground. Lights stay on all the time so I just pulled the inline fuse and put it back in when I tow. I have to remove the entire bumper cover from the vehicle so I may never deal with it.
