2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

  • 4 Flat
  • Custom Fit
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • Powered Converter
  • Tekonsha

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Jeep Grand Cherokee with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite power module that connects directly to battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 5 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will need to remove the tail lights to access this harness.


T-One Connection Location Points Behind Tail Lights

Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.


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.


ModuLite Power Module

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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.

At first I was a little leery of taking things apart especially on a newer vehicle but after your heart calms down to read the instructions look at a few videos it was easier than cutting a piece of cake simplified very easy took me longer to crawl under the car to run wires and it actually did the hook up the terminals very inexpensive compared to factory wiring kits would buy from them again thank you

Used it a few times since then works exceptionally well no problem hooking the light switch to the trailer switch perfect

should have recommended a hitch with bracket to mount plug bracket to.

JeepGrand Cherokee

This set up is easy to install, and has worked perfectly the entire time. I even purchased an adapter for the original 4 pin, to use it for 7 blades, and no issues whatsoever. The fun part of course is getting the black power wire all the way to the front of the Jeep. Now I will caution that I have at 5.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and getting the black wire to the battery was a little tricky. I ended up using some fishing wire to get to the undercarriage through the hollow rectangular casing that protects the other sheathed wiring for the vehicle. I have attached a photo for simplification. The rest was as easy to install as the video showed.



by:

This is a really well thought out harness. It exceeded all my expectations. It did take a while to install but I enjoyed doing it myself.



by:
2020 JeepGrand Cherokee

Went to the Jeep dealership and they wanted $800 just to activate the trailer lights! Went to etrailer.com and got the wiring harness for less than $100! Excellent instructions and took only half an hour to install the wiring harness. Will purchase future products from them and give them lots of referrals.

2018 JeepGrand Cherokee

The T-One connector for my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee worked great once installed. The installation of the wiring plugs, behind the tail lights went smoothly. The power wire that had to be run from the rear left corner of the Jeep to the under hood area was more difficult. It took me over an hour to find suitable locations to secure the power wire along the under-carriage so it wouldn't get burned by hot lines and exhaust pipes. The photos in the installation instruction sheet were very blurry and dark making them useless. Fortunately the online instructions from the etrailer web site were very clear. The Draw-Tight hitch was very easy to install. I used my floor jack to raise the hitch under the Jeep, which was backed onto portable ramps. I took me about 30 minutes to install the hitch and it looks great. I have enclosed photos of the four-way plug installed on the new Draw-Tight trailer hitch. Don't forget to order the four-way plug mounting bracket (P/N: 18144) as it is not included with either the hitch or the wiring kit. I highly recommend these products.



by:

Installation was tedious but not really bad. Running wiring requires crawling around under the vehicle [Jeep] but everything works ok. I did end up with a parasitic draw which pulled the battery down. I haven't had time to trouble shoot is I just pull the fuse when not using. I only pull a trailer every month or so.



by:

As easy as it gets. Simple directions and great harness. Works like it should.



by:
2019 JeepGrand Cherokee

Installation took a little time, but the kit works perfectly and is as described. The online instructional video etrailer.com has on the website made install a breeze (even for an average DIY-er).

Product was pretty easy to install although it did require running wires along the length of the vehicle from the back up to the battery. Can also be a little tricky to fit the box in the tail light. Overall very happy with the purchase

Best price on the net. Received much more than expected from etrailer ! George and his team made sure I knew when they received order, the day it shipped and the day I received the part. Excellent service. Thank you



by:

The unit and electrics came quickly and in good shape. Since I had several hitch mounts under my belt, this one for the Jeep was easy to do, a couple bolts and done. Watch the video, and make sure you torque them to correct specs! I had a garage friend of mine do the electrics, since there was no plug on the Jeep when I got it. Everything works as it should!

Easy to install. Cross bar of hitch is hidden.

  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller in 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The first thing you need would be a 4-way installed on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee which for that the Tekonsha kit part # 118727 is the easiest to install and has the most reliable converter box. Since you said you need brakes too you'll have to install a brake controller like our very popular and reliable Prodigy P2 part # 90885. To install this the kit you'd want is the # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller. The P2...

  • 7-Pin Trailer Light Wiring Harness for 2020 Jeep Cherokee Without Tow Package
    No Problem! For trailer lights you need the Tekonsha # 118727 4-pin wiring harness. This will get you trailer lighting, brake lights and turn signals. I have attached a link to that page, and a link to a video demonstration of installing the harness on a 2020 Cherokee. If the trailer you are towing does NOT have electric brakes or an onboard battery, but still uses a 7 pin connector, you need the Curt # C57672 4-way to 7-way adapter. This will give you a 4-way and 7-way jack on the back...

  • Installation of 4-Way Wiring Harness on 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Upgrade to MOPAR 7-way/4-Way
    Since you don't have the tow package wiring on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118727 is needed. This harness will connect behind your vehicle tail lights and will connect directly to your vehicle battery to protect your electronics from overload. This will give you the 4-way trailer functions you mentioned. Then if you want to use the Mopar plug, you will simply cut the 4-way plug off the end and use the Hopkins...

    For your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118727.

It gives you your tail light functions, turn signals, and brake lights. The wiring installs behind your tail lights and plugs inline between the factory connector and the light assembly. There is no cutting or splicing of the factory wires, however...

  • Towing Capacity of 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L V6 and Brake Controller Installation
    A vehicle's towing capacity depends on the entire complement of factory equipment installed on it. The best place to confirm this is the owner's manual. I checked an online edition of the manual for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 3.6L engine and page 488 does indeed indicate that this 6200-lb towing capacity applies to both 4 x 2 and 4 x 4 versions. In any towing system, the lowest-rated component will determine the overall capacity. In your case the vehicle can tow 6200-lbs...

    Since your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee isn't equipped with the factory US Car connector under the bumper then your best option for adding the needed 4-Way harness is with the Tekonsha T-One # 118727. This is still a custom harness that installs by simply plugging into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights (you will need to remove the tail lights to access the harness). Then as you mentioned, the hot lead will need to be run up to the Jeep's battery. When this type...

This custom harness is going to plug into existing ports behind the tail lights and receive power by running up a hot lead to the Jeep's battery.

    For your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, if you have the factory wiring, then all you need is the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket, Chrysler/Dodge OEM Plug Adapter # HM40975-11933. If you do not have the factory wiring, then you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118727 to get a 4-way connector. Then you will need to use # ETBC7 to upgrade that 4-way to a 7-way. You will also need a brake controller for full 7-way function....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee without Trailer Wiring
    We do have a way you can install trailer wiring on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee that does not have the factory tow package but the kit you mentioned is a tow bar wiring kit and is for vehicles that get towed behind a motorhome. So what you'd need is the Tekonsha part # 118727 which plugs in line with the taillight connectors of the vehicle for a super easy install that does not require a reflash of the computer.
