• Brake Controller Fuse Location in 2011 Dodge Ram 1500
  The fuse location for an electric brake controller in a 2011 Ram 1500 is position J02 and it takes a 30-amp fuse. This is shown in the manual on page 564. The part you referenced, T-One 4-Pole Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384, is a basic wiring harness that carries only lighting signals but not brake power for a trailer. For a 7-way wiring set-up for your 2011 Ram 1500 that includes a trailer brake power circuit you can use kit # 74682. This plugs in to the factory wiring connector. If...

• Connecting 3rd Brake Light in Leer Cap to 2019 Ram 1500
  Actually, the correct part to wire in a truck bed cap's third brake light is the converter # PP20-702. Since your 2019 Ram's turn signals and brake lights run on one circuit this separates them so the light on the cap functions with just the brake lights. Each yellow wire connects to the truck's brake light/turn signal circuits, one on each side, and then the green wire goes to the third brake light. You can use the truck's trailer wiring to find the proper brake and turn signal circuits....

• Recommended 4-Way Trailer Connector for a 2018 Honda Ridgeline
  I do have an option for you but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118384 is not a confirmed fit for your 2018 Honda Ridgeline. Instead, you will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118778 which plugs into a pre wired connector under the rear bumper. There is also a converter box that gets installed inside the cab which you can see from the attached install instructions. Unfortunately, there is no adapter that will allow you to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

• Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2012 GMC Acadia
  The short answer is that wiring harness # 118384 will not fit a 2012 GMC Acadia if it does not have the factory tow package. The harness is meant to plug in line with a factory 7-Way trailer connector. If your vehicle does not have the factory 7-Way then it will not fit. To add a 7-Way you will first need to add a 4-Way, # 118451. Then you can add a 7-Way by using 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included a couple of links that explain the ETBC7 installation. If you also...

• Can Curt Easy Mount Bracket be Installed so Connector is on Right of Hitch Receiver
  I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat and 6- or 7-Way Trailer Connectors # C58000 so that the connector is on the right side of the trailer hitch receiver as opposed to your left. It secures with hardware that you'll tighten so it should work just fine with the connector on the right. And it will work with your GM's connector without issue. I have added a link to a video review for you as well of the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for...

• Where to Find Connector for Installing Brake Controller in 2010 Lexus GX460
  To install a brake controller in a 2010 Lexus GX 460 the correct install harness is the part # 3040-P. This adapter plugs into the 5-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how...

• Availability of Adapter to Convert 7-way Trailer Connector on 2009 Chevy Silverado to a 4-Pole
  We have several different options that would allow you to plug in a trailer that uses a 4 pole trailer connector. If you wanted to leave your current 7-way trailer connector in place, you could simply use a plug in adapter like part # PK12716. We don't offer a plug in adapter that would provide both a 7-way and a 4-pole and retain your existing 7-way, but if you'd be willing to remove your current 7-way, part # HM40975 would provide both a 4-pole and a 7-way and would not require an adapter....

• No Running Lights on Trailer When Using Tow Ready T-One Harness 118384 on 2004 Chevy Silverado
  Since you have replaced the factory 7-way connector on your 2004 Silverado due to corrosion you may also want to check the condition of the pins on the round vehicle connector under the rear bumper. This is the connector that mated to the original factory 7-way socket and that may now mate to the T-One Harness # 118384 if you are using this part. Since the outside contacts on the 7-way were corroded it is also possible that the other upstream connections may need cleaning as well. Even...

• Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Jeep Liberty
  To install the # 118384, you would need to unplug your existing 7-way harness from the rear of the socket. The # 118384 would plug inline between the vehicle harness and the existing 7-way, as shown in the video I linked you to. If your Liberty does NOT have the factory tow package with the 7-way trailer connector, the connector that the # 118384 would connect to will NOT be present. In this case, you would need part # 118554. I have linked you to the installation instructions for the...

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2013 Ford F-150 that Came with Factory 4-Way Flat
  Your 2013 Ford F-150 must have come with the factory 4-Way connector. Since the harness for that connector uses a square plug and not the round plug, a simple plug and play 7-Way is not available. You will have to partially hardwire in a 7-Way using # 37185. I have included a link to a video that shows how this is done on a 2013 Ford F-150.

• Is There a Difference Between 4-Way Adapaters # 118384 and # C55384
  Basically they are the same product just made by two different companies. Either would work just as well as the other so between the part # 118384 and the # C55384 I'd recommend going with whichever has the better price.

• 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  The wiring kit part # 118384 is a 4-way connector that would install in line with a 7-way connector at the rear of a vehicle. With this harness you would end up with both a 4-way and a 7-way. If you have a 7-way at the rear of your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and are looking for a harness that will give you both a 4-way and a 7-way on the same mounting bracket you would need the part # HM40975.

• Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2011 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab
  The definitive way to determine if a vehicle has a factory tow package or any other options is to have a dealer run the VIN number. Although if there is no 7-Way connector at the back of the truck, you most likely do not have a factory tow package. To install trailer wiring, you would need to use the custom fit vehicle wiring, # 118496. I have included links to the installation instructions and a video showing a typical installation. If you then wanted to add a 7-Way trailer connector,...

• Troubleshooting Factory Brake Controller of 2013 Dodge Ram Not Wanting to Work with EOH Brakes
  What is really frustrating about factory integrated brake controllers is that even the ones that say they are compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes don't always work properly. The factory controller of your 2013 Ram 3500 is supposed to be compatible with EOH brakes but we've found that in a lot of cases the only solution is to bypass the factory controller with an aftermarket one that consistently works with EOH actuators like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195. To install this in your...

• Adding a 7-Way to Bumper and Bed of a 2012 Ram 2500 that Originally Came with a 7-Way
  Usually when there is a question on the function of a wire the solution is to test that wire. But you indicated that you have tested the wires and still cannot figure out the functions. But you didn't say why that is. Were you getting conflicting readings from the meter? A meter might be a little too sensitive for this test. Really all that is needed is a circuit tester such as # 40376. Two of the wires will show power when the brake pedal is pressed. And one of those wires will also...

  Wiring harness # 118384 is just a pass-through device. It is designed to work if your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee came with the factory-activated towing package. If the Jeep does not have the factory towing package you will need to have a Jeep dealer activate it for you. Otherwise the harness will not work.

  The TowReady T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118384 that you referenced is not a fit for the 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan.

  If your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee did not come with a factory installed 7-Way then if you plug one into the wiring at the back of the Jeep the 7-Way would not function. Like you already did, you would go to the dealer and have them reprogram the computer to get the newly installed 7-Way to function. If everything was installed properly then it should work. If not then they may have made a mistake in the reprogramming process. Or, it could be that there is a fuses or fuses or even relays...

• 12V Fuse Location for 2017 Ram 3500
  I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2017 Ram 3500. It looks like the fuse related to the 12V pin at the 7-Way should be located at the F30 position inside the power distribution center (in the engine compartment). This will be a 30 amp pink fuse. You will just want to make sure this fuse is present and in good condition. Other fuses on your Ram related to towing are as follows: F28 - Trailer Tow Backup Lights - 20 Amp Blue F29 - Trailer Tow Parking Lights - 20 Amp...

• Trailer Running Lights Not Working with a 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter
  There are a couple of possibilities here. First, it could just be a ground issue on the utility trailer. You will want to check the main ground from the trailer connector and the tail light grounds and make sure they are attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. A ground issue will show up when there is a load on the circuit and having a constant draw on the circuit like with running lights could be what is making the ground issue appear. Also, you can check the trailer...

• Trailer Lights Not Working Using 4- to 7-Way Adapter on a 2012 Mercedes GL450
  If the trailer has LED lights then the issue isn't the adapter or the trailer. It is the vehicle. The 2012 Mercedes GL450 and other German vehicles do not work well with trailers that have LED lights. This is because LED lights do not draw enough power for the tow package on the vehicle to recognize them. Usually this is accompanied by a bulb out sensor light in the vehicle. The fix is to use a special adapter such as # TR20141. Or, if this is the adapter you are using then adding load...
