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

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Kia Sorento 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

    • Powered module 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 driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies 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 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.


ModuLite Powered Tail Light Converter

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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 your trailer. This power module functions as a tail light converter to combine 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.


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.

This harness was installed over a year ago along with a Etrailer hitch. It has performed flawlessly during this time period and has not had any issues at all. I highly recommend this harness.

Seems to be exactly what I needed for my 2022 Sorento.
It took me roughly 3 hours to install and was a pretty simple task.
The only instruction issue I had was with taillight removal. After removing 10mm screws you need to use a flat plastic spatchula or body tool to pry the bottom half of the taillight assembly towards the rear end of the car. There's 2 mounting studs there that prevent you from removing the taillight assembly.
Other than that, route your wire forward to the battery by removing the underside panels and it's a piece of cake.

Ive pulled several trailers since installing the wiring and everything is working great. Ive even travelled through a massive snow storm with slush and ice buildup under the car and in the wheel wells. My wiring remains intact and undamaged.

I love how easy e-trailer makes the installation process of the products they sell by providing a how-to video and explaining it in detail. Installed this plug and play connector on my 2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid with ease! Great product and service!



by:
KiaSorento

this plug worked great on my 2023 Kia Sorento. Easy to install and performs as expected.

2022KiaSorento

After Amazon sent me 2 different kits that were both incorrect, I placed my order with etrailer and got exactly what I needed for my SUV. The kit was complete and spot on workmanship!



by:

Trailer hitch and harness installed easily as promised and have had no issues as of yet, one year later. We installed in my daughters SUV to move her from WI to Texas.



by:

Great product! Fits and works exactly as described! Took me about 3 hours to install on my Kia Sorento Hybrid! I had to get this kit after the dealership refused to let me order the OEM one.



by:

After having this installed for a year, still works great. Easy to install and very happy with this purchase.



by:
2021 KiaSorento

installed myself ,Kia had recall on their hitches and wiring, so they had to look at mine. It passed inspection with no issues.

works perfect the instructions were spot on

2023 KiaSorento

I fist purchased a harness on Amazon that said it would work, but it did not fit my 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid. After that I went to etrailer and gave them a try. The harness and tow-bar arrived on time and the video was really helpful when I installed the harness. It worked great once I got it in. It was a little challenging to install, but that was noted on their site when I purchased it. Not really bad, just a bit more work than others I have installed in the past. Overall, it was exactly as advertised and I would highly recommend buying from etrailer again. Their parts fit and work as advertised, they have great installation videos, and their customer support is levels above Amazon and most other online stores. Very professional and well run company!



by:

Great product. Very happy



by:

Worked twice intermittently. Had to order direct through the dealer and pay $250 after this waste of time and money.

KiaSorento

NOte that for the 2022 kia Sorento plug0-in hybrid the rear-mounted battery makes this both easy and hard: the wirign is very short to mount onm the hitch below, but the battery sits in a weather proof well, which you need to wire through, there is a square tube below with plastic grommet, going through that you can keep it weather proof and the square framing tube has access holes a couple of inches away from under the car so then no drilling is needed, just slightly tricky to fish it out to start with. but then you are right next to the hitch frame and can route it to anywhere you want to place the connector (I used a L-bracket, which seems to hold it in place very nicely, adding some grease to the connector, has also kept it good and avoided corrosion with multiple uses.)



by:

Although this was the wrong harness (my fault), the delivery time was great and the customer service to return the item was top notch. I will surely be purchasing more items from this company in the future.



by:

Pkg arrived with quite a bit of carton damage. Have not yet inspected the hitch and wiring.



by:
2022KiaSorento

This wiring harness fit my Kia Sorento perfect. Plug and play removed the tail lights plugged in the adaptors and ran the wires. Plugged the wires into the tester to check proper operation. Made the job so much easier and made the installation quicker. The perfect complement to make it a professional looking job.



by:

good instructions for installation little hard running the power cable to the battery on the ground but working well



by:

Just Ok Installed by myself in 3hrs wish +wire had protection around it. Hard to do when not on a lift.



by:

Easy to find the correct part on the website and order but the install was a little different only because I have a hybrid so battery is in back so you don’t have to navigate the power cable through the firewall or anything like that. Major plus!



by:

This made everything so quick and easy. Do yourself a favor next time, just order the harness and save a ton of time and frustration.



by:

Great kit to do the wiring of the trailer. Very good quality.



by:
2022KiaSorento

The product fits and seems to work, but the instructions are terrible and missing a bunch of really important steps. This product needs an install video.



by:
2023 KiaSorento

Item #HM48595 does not let Item #TK26FR be mounted you should only send items in an order if they will fit each other.
Call and you told to return item but I had to pay freight of over $x for an item that cost $x dollars. ordered a different mounting bracket and you wanted to charge me freight even if it was your fault that I had to order a different item.
Went to U-Haul bought bracket.
Very poor costumer service for a mistake that you made not me. You are supposed to know what fits with what not the costumer.
Will never again buy from etrailer looks like they only want to sell even if the items don't fit each other.

While most brackets will fit multiple harnesses, unfortunately this particular bracket is only designed to fit other Hopkins products. I apologize that our system was not able to catch that they are not compatible. We are working towards a more sophisticated system that can better assist all of us in our product compatibility.

Good directions and easy installation . . works great!!

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2022 Kia Sorento X-Line AWD
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR for your 2022 Kia Sorento X-Line AWD. This receiver is confirmed to fit all trim levels of your 2022 Kia Sorento. The spare tire can be retained in its original location with this receiver. The receiver has a matte black finish that will blend well with the matte black rear fascia that you have on your Sorento. You will need to remove the rear drivers side underbody panel to confirm if you have the connectors for the factory towing...

  • How Difficult Is It To Install A Hitch And Wiring On A 2023 Kia Sorrento?
    For your 2023 Kia Sorento I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C37RV. This will be a 2" receiver rated for 4,000 lbs towing and 600 lbs of tongue weight. For a 4 flat wiring harness you can use the # TK26FR. As far as install, I would call all of this medium difficulty, about 6 out of 10, with 10 being the most difficult. The hitch is a no drill install. You will need to temporarily remove the spare tire, as well as loosen the plastic underbody panel. The exhaust will need to be temporarily...

    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118269 would be the correct wiring harness if you have the factory tow package on your 2022 Kia Sorento. The # 118269 would plug into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located along the frame rail at the rear of your vehicle. This would be the option that requires the least amount of disassembly of your Sorento. If you do not have the factory tow package then you would want to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK26FR (which...

This custom fit wiring harness plugs into your Sorento's factory tow package behind your driver's side rear wheel. If you do not have the tow package you need part # TK26FR.

  • Trailer Wiring for 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid without Tow Package
    If your 2022 Kia Sorento does not have the factory tow package it would not have the connector needed to install the part # CU94FR that you have. If that's the case the other option would be the trailer wiring kit part # TK26FR which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors of the vehicle and was designed for vehicles without the tow package.

  • Best Hitch for a 2022 Kia Sorento
    Hello Paul. For your 2022 Kia Sorento I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no drill installation and fits all models of the Sorento. The hitch has a 2" receiver opening which is great because that is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. So whether you are planning to tow a trailer or just carry some bikes down to the trail you are good to go with this hitch. If...

    Hello Paul. The trailer hitch and wiring harness for a 2022 Kia Sorento are sold separately since not all of those who want a trailer hitch are using them for towing i.e. bike racks and cargo carriers. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C37RV which offers a bolt-on fit without any drilling required. It has a class III rating which will exceed the capacity of the vehicle so there will be no limitations from the hitch. The trailer wiring harness...

  • Is Tekonsha Wiring Affected By OEM Recall for 2022 Kia Sorento Trailer Wiring
    Thanks for all of that information! From what I'm seeing it looks like that Mobis Parts America wiring harness is something that could be added on at the dealership if requested which means the issue would be isolated to that wiring harness alone and not the standard OEM wiring of the vehicle.

  • Could Tekonsha Trailer Wiring of 2021 Kia Sorento be Used for Brake Controller Install Brake Circuit
    This is a really good question. Technically you can use the red wire of the # TK26FR that is before the converter box for the red wire of your brake controller install with the # ETBC7 since this is a dedicated stoplight circuit. Normally you have to run to the brake pedal but this is a clever way around having to do that. A lot of vehicles have the stoplight circuit combined on the turn signal circuit so this isn't possible.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Kia Sorento
    To add a 2" hitch to your 2023 Kia Sorento, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C34ER. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is completely concealed behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver exposed, which not only helps with ground clearance but it also looks better. I have attached a couple of pictures below, along with an installation video, so you can see what this hitch will look like...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way to 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid without Tow Package
    To add a 7-way to your 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid that does not have the factory tow package you'd first need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one already) and for that you'd need the # TK26FR. Next you'd need to convert it to a 7-way with the kit part # ETBC7L which comes with wiring to activate the 12 volt accessory circuit like you mentioned. The black wire of this adapter would get ran to the vehicle battery using the included breaker to the positive post of the vehicle battery....

This wiring harness comes with a higher-quality converter box than the Curt T-Connector # C59236. With the T-One, you will have brake light, turn signal, and running light functions on your trailer. To complete the setup, I recommend a ball/ball mount if you do not have one already. For that route, a great option is the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534. Not...
