Video Transcript for Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - Trailer Hitch Wiring - 118329 Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with a 4-pole flat trailer connector. This product is going to fit multiple years and models of Dodge trucks. To see if this is a fit for your vehicle, you can use the Vehicle Fit Guide located at etrailer.com. This unit's going to provide a 4-way, flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle. It's going to power your trailer signal lights. It is compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters.
Adapters are sold separately. It also comes with a dust cap for the 4-way flat connector. That way you can cover up the connection points when the plug's not being used. The benefit of a system like this, or one of the main benefits, is how quickly and easily it's going to connect. It does not require any cutting or splicing of your wires. All you have to do is locate the connection points along the frame rail.
Those are going to be located at the rear, along the inside of the frame rail on both the driver's and passenger sides. Once you have those located, simply take your T-connectors and plug them in. The connector with the yellow wire goes to the driver's side. The connector with the green wire goes to the passenger side. Now, these plugs are going to match up perfectly with the ports on the vehicle.
They're going to push together. They're going to snap-lock together, which is going to give you a nice tight, secure fit. Once you have those connected, you can use the included cable ties to secure any excess wires. Then, the 4-way flat connector is going to be routed toward the center of the vehicle, near the hitch. Once the installation is complete, this going to be stowed beneath the vehicle. We do recommend a mounting bracket to keep the connector secure.
It's not included, so it is sold separately. If you need one, you will find a bracket here, at etrailer.com, or you can just loop it around your safety chain loop on the hitch. The maximum amperage is going to be 7.5 amps per circuit. It's also recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease on all your electrical connections, like the plugs on the vehicle and the 4-pole connector itself. The grease is really going to help prevent corrosion to the connections points. If you need some of that, you can find it here, at etrailer.com. It's sold separately as well. It's also going to come with your detailed installation instructions. These are going to walk you through your installation process, step by step. That's going to do it for today's look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-pole flat trailer connector.

After installing a receiver hitch and crawling under my truck trying to scope out a spot to splice into the wiring harness, I noticed convenient couplers in the wiring on both frame rails so I went to the dealer to ask if there was some sort of plug and play trailer wiring that Dodge offered for their Dodge PU's They looked at me sort of dumbfounded and dint even comprehend for the longest time what I was even trying to describe to them. After the 3 explanation of what I wanted they said "Good Idea but no we have nothing like that." Well I wasn't going to give up that easily so I started looking online. I figured if I could not find one I might invent one and make my Millions right!.. Well it didn't take lone before I once again realized someone already beat me to my wonderful idea. So I ordered up a set and the 7 way matching trailer plug to go with it. Renee at etrailer was super helpfull and assured me Id get it in time for Fishing seasons opening week end. UPS had a hick up and it was a day late making me a bit nervous but it still came in time. The product looked of good quality and my only complaint is the tolerances on the plugs don't match the factory plugs very well they are VERY tight and almost impossible to seat in all the way so I hope I don't have issues with them coming loose or the contacts arcing out. But it was definitely the way to go and so much better then hacking in a splice job like most of us have done in our lives. All the lights functioned perfectly on the drivers side first shot but I had to fight with one of the plugs on the passenger side as I stated they did not want to seat all the way in. I didn't see or think to ask Renee about a mounting bracket for the 7 way so I made my own out of some scrap metal I had around my shop. Whole process took me about an hour including making and installing the bracket. Good product, great service from the folks at etrailer and I highly recommend buying form them. They are totally on top of all communication by email to their customers. Kudos to etrailer for building faith in the market place one customer at a time. They have all my future business that's for sure. I'm ready for fishing in the morning! Now what other idea can I come up with dang-it!..lol 127439

some problems with the connectors now not making good contact...i may have to shave the bodys down so they slip in better
Scott H - 04/25/201511140
Thanks for your follow up and reply. We also recommend brushing off the any dirt, debris, or corrosion that may have built up over time on the connector blades, and prongs, then use a little dielectric grease # 11755 to make ensure a good electrical connection.

Connecting the wiring harness went well. I needed two more (longer) plastic zip ties to secure all of the harness out of the way. Testing didn't go quite as well. Everything worked except the left side turn signal. I took the tail light cover off of the pickup. The bulb is a two filament bulb; and both filaments looked fine when held up to a light. I didn't suppose it was possible to plug in a connector turned 180 degrees from correct. I guess that possibility needs to be checked next. 520451

As long you install it right the first you wont have no issues like zip ties loose and extra wiring. Simple to tuck the connector behind the bumper you almost think it not there til you need it. Very easy to hide if you prefer to. Its cause I only use in the summer for towing.

Installation literally cannot be any easier! Unplug, replug, repeat on the other side, done. I chose this harness because it did not require a separate ground wire to be installed on the frame, and I liked the permanently sealed splice sections. If you look closely at other harness options for this vehicle, you'll note the differences I'm describing. I'm very happy with this harness. 506635

Since it sounds like you do not have any trailer wiring on your truck you'll need to start with a 4-way # 118329.

A proportional controller will apply the trailer brakes in proportion to how much the truck is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on the trailer and truck brakes.
The proportional controller I recommend is the P2 # 90885 because its easy to set up and use and it is reliable.

- Bed length does not matter in this case. Curt trailer hitch # C13145 will fit your 1998 Dodge Dakota with 6-1/2 foot bed.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level,...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Needed and Differences Between Electric and Electric/Hydraulic Braking Systems
- I'd be happy to explain that a bit for you.
There are a few different braking systems available for trailers, with electric being the most common. The brake controller sends voltage back to the electromagnets in the brake assemblies, which stick to the inside of the drums, spreading the brake drums apart so they push against the inside of the drums helping to stop the trailer.
Some trailers use hydraulic brakes, like cars do. These can be actuated by a surge coupler that compresses...

- If your 1998 Dodge Ram did not come with a factory 4 or 7-Way trailer connector, then you will need to first install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118329. I have included a link to a video installation and a link to the installation instructions for reference.
You would then need to install a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. We have a couple of detailed FAQ articles on this installation which I have linked for you. I have also included a video link showing a typical installation...

- There will be two options available to install a 7-Way on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, depending on what you have on your vehicle right now.
If you have a 4-Way connector on your vehicle right now, you can use the Hopkins Adapter, part # 37185 to install a 7-Way. This adapter will plug into the 4-Way on your vehicle and give you a 7-Way and 4-Way connector at the rear of your vehicle. After plugging in your 4-Way to the back of the adapter there will be four extra wires that will need to...

The video link provided demonstrates the installation process. The left and right side T-connectors in this harness plug in between the tail light wiring connectors located underneath the vehicle. The connector with the yellow wire is for the driver...

- If your brothers 97 Dodge Ram 1500 does not already have a factory 4-Way, he would need a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the Dodge Ram Pickup, 1997, part # 118329. If it does have a factory four way, then he will not be able to use this wiring harness.
From the 4-Way you will need an adapter, part # ETBC7, kit to convert the 4 way plug into a 7 way plug. I have attached a video below that details the installation, but basically you will be plugging the four way into the ETBC7...

- You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118329.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake...

- You will need a couple of items to hard wire the brake controller to your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500.
If you do not have a 4-way connector at the rear of your truck you will need to install the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118329, to get a 4-flat connector at the rear of your vehicle.
You will then need to hardwire the brake controller to your vehicle with the # ETBC7 kit. I have attached a drawing that shows the wiring diagram when installing the # ETBC7. The installation...

- To hardwire a 4-way you'll need to use a circuit tester, like part # 40376, to find the correct wires on your truck by function. One the 4-way you have picture the color code is white for ground, green for right turn and right brake lights, yellow for left turn and left brake lights, and brown for running lights. The brake lights and turn signals are combined.

- The two products you compare, 4-pole trailer wiring harnesses # 118329 and # C55329, are functionally the same and connect to your 1999 Dodge Dakota in exactly the same way.

Both are equipped with a flat 4-pole trailer connector.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller on a 2003 Dodge Dakota SLT
- The brake controller that we recommend the most is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885. This is a progressive controller that can sense the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and will give a proportionate amount of braking to the trailer brakes.
Now if you have factory 7-way at the rear of your vehicle all you would need to get is a Brake Adapter part # 3020-P and the # 90885 would be fully functional.
If you do not have any trailer wiring you will need to...

- For your Dodge Dakota I would recommend a proportional brake controller that uses a motion sensing device to apply the trailer brakes equally with the towing vehicle. A time delayed controller is another option and it uses a preset (by you) amount of braking power to apply the trailer brakes no matter how hard the towing vehicle is braking.
On the time delayed controller there is a short delay (user adjustable) before the trailer begins to brake after the brake pedal has been pushed....
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Ball Be Mounted Directly To The Bumper of a 1999 Dodge Dakota
- Some vehicles are designed with a hole in the bumper for attaching a ball for towing. You need to check your owners manual or with your dealer for the towing capacity of your Dakota. You should also check with the Dealer to see if the bumper on your Dakota is rated for towing. I have attached an FAQ article that has tips on how to tow a trailer.
You will need to measure the hole in the bumper to make certain you have the correct diameter shank on the ball you wish to attach. If you have...

- If your 1996 Dodge Ram has the factory 7-way connector at the rear of the vehicle, then all of the wires for the brake controller have been run. You will just need a brake controller wiring adapter. I recommend using part # 3020-S. This adapter plugs into the brake controller plug under the dash, to the left of the steering column taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. The four pigtail wires on the other end will be butt-connected to the brake controller, color to color.

- I am assuming that you are speaking of the installation connector for a brake controller. It is located on top of the white box on the firewall behind the emergency brake pedal.
To install your brake controller, you will also need a Wiring Adapter, part # 3020-P.
If your truck isn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector, the plug might not be present. If the connector is not there, you'll need to hardwire the controller using our brake controller installation kit, part...
