Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located at the rear, along the driver's-side frame rail. Once you've plugged in the tow harness connector, locate the gray connector between the truck's battery and the fender at the front of your vehicle. Plug in the fuse holder wiring harness. Then attach the ring terminal at the opposite end of the harness to the positive terminal on your truck's battery. Insert the included 10-amp fuse into the in-line fuse holder.


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.

It worked great for my 02 Tundra. The instructions confused me a little, mostly because my truck was already set up for towing. I was just replacing the old wiring harness. This one used a different plug at the back end of my truck than my existing harness, so that held me up for a bit. But once I figured it out, it was a very easy install and works great.

etrailer made the process quite simple. Online videos, written instructions, 2 day delivery all contributed to a painless process. '02 Tundra with 320k miles. Everything fit perfect.



by:
2002 Toyota Tundra

This is the easiest trailer wiring kit that I've ever used. There was no drilling for a ground screw, no running a power wire the length of the vehicle, no disassembling the taillights. The Tundra already had the modular connectors, all we had to do was tap into them. The hardest part was deciding where to put the zip-ties. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

Well made and plug and play for my 02 Tundra. It took 20 min to install. No cutting or splicing. I purchased along with a universal 7 pin kit for trailer brakes. It's perfectly compatible.

I've had a Hidden Hitch and wiring harness on my Toyota Tundra for a number of years. When I needed to get a 7 way plug I found that the old wiring didn't work. So I repmaced it and added a plug. The installation was easy and it works great. I wish there had been a single harness but replacing the old one and adding the 7 pin was very simple. I got great service from E-trailer and the video's were a good help. I'll use them again!

The T one wiring harness for my 01 tundra worked perfectly , I watched the installation video on the website and when it arrived it took less than ten minutes to install . E - trailer's description and customer service were excellent I highly recommend them and their products.



by:

My 2002 Toyota Tundra was not powering my boat trailer properly. After a bunch of testing the Tundra wiring I isolated the problem to the Toyota converter/power module. I found a replacement wiring harness at etrailer that matched my vehicle. I have received the new wiring harness and reviewed the installation instructions. Everything seemed to match up to my existing Toyota wiring harness which gives me a lot of confidence the installation will be a no-brainer. If I do have questions or problems I am confident the etrailer staff will be responsive and able to help me out. Although I do not expect that that will necessary. etrailer kept me informed throughout my purchase transaction from confirmation of my order through delivery. I will definitely use etrailer again.

The product is exactly as advertised and arrived on time. Installed it and looks great.

Let me just start by saying that the product itself is not the most important thing. How many companies or sellers out there are reaching out to you and make sure that their product arrived on time and it met your expectations? And if not, following up and making sure they change that!? I am a big fan of etrailer and you have a great model going, keep up the good work and creativity to always stay a step ahead of the competitors.

BUYERS - Buy with confidence! You have nothing to lose when you are dealing with a seller that stands behind their product and customer satisfaction is their first priority!

Shoutout to Tommy C!

The harnesses plugged right up and worked perfectly.
Great product!
Communication from eTrailer was the best. Package tracking was weak and did not provide enough info.
The eTraller website is easy to use & provides great info & instructions on the produce installation. Because the instructions were so good the purchase decision was no-brainer.
I definitely make eTrailer my first look for this kind of product.



by:
2002 Toyota Tundra

Needed this harness for my 2002 Tundra. The Tundra owners manual leads you to believe that the factory harness is ready to haul a trailer, but this is not accurate. I installed the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector with no difficulty in about an hour (and that was taking my time!). Instructions were clear and had good photos. Product arrived faster than I expected, and customer support was quick to answer a question about which rear truck connector to use (it is NOT the connector just behind the license plate, but in my case over on the far left side behind the tail light). I will definitely shop at Etrailer again.



by:
2002 Toyota Tundra

Works, Double sided tape came off - Used this one to replace same unit I bought 2 years before that died. If this one lasts only two years I will have one wired in.

Was very simple to wire in.



by:

I had this installed on my truck 10 minutes after taking it out of the mailbox. The video tutorial was great. The hardest part was getting the cap of the plug next to the battery.

What can I say? This was the easiest install I've ever done. It literally took me 25 minutes to remove the old harness, then install and test this wiring harness and this is the first time I've installed anything like this. Etrailer responded to my online order within minutes and I had the kit delivered in 2 days. Great service, great product.......I'll be back in the future! Thank you etrailer.

The trailer wire harness and mounting bracket for my 2002 toyota tundra came in on time and was easy to install. It took about 20 minutes from start to finish. I appreciate everything and will shop with etrailer in the future.

I had to return the first harness, it was my mistake. The person on the phone was very understanding and found the exact trailer wiring harness I needed, it was an older vehicle, hooked up perfectly!!

Very easy to install, perfect fit with the truck's existing connectors, good quality, and most important, worked flawlessly. I do recommend this product from etrailer.com.

This was an outstanding "plug and play" purchase. Etrailer continues to impress me with their DIY videos and ease of installation. This was a piece of cake to install. Continue the great work etrailer!!!

Had a positive experience with the wiring package I ordered through E-Trailer. Sales rep was knowledgable, friendly, and competent. Price and shipping costs were very fair.I received the package quicker than I expected and was happy to see the item was correct and exactely what i needed.

  • Solution to Install 7-Way and 4-Way on 2002 Toyota Tundra
    The only trailer wiring options we have for your 2002 Toyota Tundra is 4-ways like the part # 118378 which you could convert with a 7-way adapter like the part # 37185 which also happens to have a 4-way on the side of it like you wanted.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2001 Toyota Tundra
    Hey Mark, to install a 7-way on your 2001 Toyota Tundra will require to first install a 4-way which for that you would want the Tekonsha part # 118378 which you would then need the # 37185 to convert it to a 7-way. Now if your trailer has brakes you would instead need to go with the # ETBC7 and a brake controller like the P3 part # 90195 instead of the 37185.

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2002 Toyota Tundra
    Wiring harness # C55246 is not a confirmed fit for your 2002 Toyota Tundra but we do have wiring harnesses that will work. To add a 4-Way you can use # C55378, # 118378, or # HM43375. If it were me, I would go with # 118378 because it is the best value and we hear about fewer problems with the Tekonsha brand. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

    There are two options for energizing the backup solenoid on your trailer to allow you to backup. The first is an adapter like you mentioned. The 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, # 20036, is designed to be easily installed and removed once the blue wire is spliced into the vehicles reverse light circuit, behind one of the rear tail lights. A circuit tester, # 3808 if needed, is required to determine the correct wire to splice the blue wire to. The second option is to use a 5-Way...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2002 Toyota Tundra
    If you removed all of the wiring of your 2002 Toyota Tundra when you removed the bed you'd want a 7-way kit like the part # 20023 which will wire into the truck's current wiring. Otherwise the 4-way kit part # 118378 plugs into factory wiring to provide a 4-way. To convert the 4-way then to a 7-way so you can install a brake controller will require the install kit part # ETBC7. I attached a couple install videos for these kits for you to check out as well.

  • What Parts are Need to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2001 Toyota Tundra
    I do have a solution for you. In order to add a 7-Way wiring harness to your 2001 Toyota Tundra, you will need to start by adding a 4-Way, # 118378, if you need one. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this harness for you to view. With a 4-Way installed (or using an existing 4-Way if applicable) you will then need to install a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This kit includes everything you will need to install a functioning 7-Way on your truck. I have included...

  • Trailer Wiring Solution for 2002 Toyota Tundra
    It's hard to say but there is a pretty good chance a 2001 Toyota Tundra with a factory hitch came with trailer wiring. If you needed wiring though the part # 118378 is a custom fit option that would work well. This will give you a 4-way wiring harness.

  • How to Install a Brake Controller in a 2002 Toyota Tundra
    I have a way for you to install either a P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 or a P3 # 90195 in your 2002 Toyota Tundra but there isn't a plug-in adapter available that would work. You will need to hardwire the controller in. Since you do not have a factory trailer wiring you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118378. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will...

  • Does a Wiring Harness Come with a Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Toyota Tundra
    Trailer hitches including # 75105 do not come with wiring harnesses. The reason is that some people aren't using the hitch for towing while others could be replacing a hitch and already have wiring. For your 2002 Toyota Tundra you can use # 118378 to add a 4-Way connector. If you need to add a 7-Way you would also need # ETBC7 in addition to the 4-Way. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.

  • Availability of Brake Controller Harness for 2001 Toyota Tundra
    If you are looking for a brake controller harness, there are none available for the 2001 Toyota Tundra. The 2001 Tundra did not have factory tow packages as an option, so a brake controller will have to be hard wired into the vehicle. You will need part # ETBC7 to create a 7 way plug at the rear of the truck. I will include a video on this kit. You will also need to install a 4 way connector. Toyota put the provision in for this so you will need part # 118378. Once you have these parts...

  • Troubleshooting No Power From Converter Box on Reese Wiring Harness on 2002 Toyota Tundra
    Based on the steps you have already taken it sounds like the converter box is bad which means it will need to be replaced, not opened and serviced. The only thing I'm not sure about is what wiring you specifically have. From what I could find it doesn't look like there is a plug and play 7-way for the 2002 Tundra. This leads me to believe that you have a 4-way wiring harness plugged into the factory port with a 7-way adapter added on. If that is the case, you only need to replace your...

    The converter box for the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55378 is not available as a separate replacement part unfortunately. However, I actually recommend you take a look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118378 instead which we have found to be much more reliable. The issue that causes the converter boxes to fail is excessive movement. The above Curt converter box attaches using adhesive which is not always the best method.

  • 2002 Toyota Tundra Does Not Have Correct Plug to Match Recommended Custom Wiring, What Can I Use?
    It looks like the 2002 Toyota Tundra should have an 8-pin square connector on the rear of the vehicle for the trailer wiring, and from the photo you're showing that is definitely not an 8-pin square connector; it's a 6 pin square. One of two things could have happened here. I would first make sure that you've pulled the correct plug, since there are two very similar plugs placed right next to eachother on the 2002 Toyota Tundra.

    There isn't a plug and play option available for the 2001 Toyota Tundra, but you can certainly still install a brake controller and a 7-way trailer connector, and it's really not all that difficult. First, choose a brake controller. I'd recommend a proportional controller like the Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160. A proportional controller is your best choice for safe, reliable and predictable braking. You'll also need our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7 and a # 118378 trailer...

    Since trailer brake controllers are not vehicle-specific you can indeed transfer your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 from your Ford Explorer to your 2001 Toyota Tundra. You will need the trailer brake install kit # ETBC7 that you referenced.

There are both hard-wire types (cutting and splicing required) and custom-fit plug-in types, which is what I suggest. You...

    If you have tested the Curt Harness # C55378 with a circuit tester on your 2001 Toyota Tundra, there should not be any signal to the plug when the vehicle has the lights off and there should be power to the lights when the vehicle is turned on. If you tested and there is a signal with the lights off, there is a problem with the vehicle's-side of the connection.

    A 4 way connector like the Tekonsha # 118378 provides the base functionality and connections to the brake lights and turn signals, plus adding a converter box that are needed for a fully functioning 7 way connector. With that said, if you don't want to install the 4 way first, you could hard wire in a 7 way like the # HM40975-11998.
