Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will need to remove some interior trim or carpeting to access the harness.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed within your trunk.
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.
Circuit-Protected Tail Light Converter
A tail light converter 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. The tail light converter combines 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.
This converter safeguards itself and your vehicle against possible electrical shorts and overloads with integrated short circuit protection. Just install the connector as indicated and rest assured that the wiring system of your vehicle will remain feedback-free.

A year ago I purchased this harness and it was easy to put in and worked great.
by: Myron01/06/2023
The mechanic was going to charge me $252.00 for a two hour job. That's about what my lawyer charges. I mean a good mechanic is worth his salt; of course, I'm going to pay. Idon't know know what I'm doing.
However, the DIY video I found on etrailer made the installation look so easy I thought I'd give it a try, and save $252.00 I tried, nearly failed, unable to disconnect the connectors. But if you wedge a screwdriver head in the side of the connector, the darn thing pops right out. I didn't see that on the video. Then on the other side the darn thing popped right out on the first try. I nearly fainted.

Replaced a failed unit of another brand. The Tekonsha unit seemed to be of higher quality. Excellent instructions made for a simple installation. Another trusted product from etrailer.com.

Both the Trailer Hitch and the Wiring Harness were easy to install..averaged about 40 minutes each.Every thing worked just fine.

Good! Easy to install thanx to your instruction guide.

It’s a good hitch but it didn’t fit perfectly an it hits the exhaust pipe so every time I turn on the car it rattles sometimes because the pipe hits the hitch
by: Dana 09/13/2022
Great wiring harness. Easy to install. Just clips on. No soldering or wire cutting. Exactly what I needed.

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
As with all of the items we have ordered from etrailer this harness continues to serve us well. With four Santa Fe's (2002,2003,2007,2011) in the family we have installed harnesses in all as well as hitches. They all went in easily enough and etrailer's installation videos were of tremendous help in simplifying the tasks.

It still serves us well, over thousands of towing miles, thank you!

2013 Ford Explorer
Usiong the online video provided by etrailer helped immensely. While not specific to my vehicle (2012 Ford Explorer) the 2013 model used was extremely close. There were some questions that arose as the video covers installation on a factory installed towing package, but the folks at etrailer's customer service group were more than helpful in researching and coming up with the needed answers/information. Brake controller works great!
by: Jon04/23/2019
I installed this hitch about a year ago. Following the available video's made it pretty easy and I'm not really that mechanical. The wiring harness was also pretty straight forward. Overall, it has functioned perfectly. Does what a trailer hitch is supposed to do. The bottom line is this is much cheaper to buy directly and install yourself than to have someone else do it. Would definitely recommend.
by: Darrell 10/02/2019
My harness was delivered fast. The instructions where clear and easy to follow. I had mine installed in no time, and it continues to work well as of today. The construction was far better that I expected. I would buy this product again. Thank you etrailer.com for a great product!

2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
Got it exactly when I was supposed too. So very easy to install. Maybe 15 minutes to disassemble the back it the Santa Fe. Five minutes to install the harness and 10 to reassemble. Plugged into the trailer and jackpot!!! Running lights , break lights and turnsignals. So happy I found your product on YouTube!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for the great service and product!!!
by: B Schmidt 04/26/2013
Very good product. I used etrailer you tube video for installation. Works like a charm.

Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai Elantra Touring 2012: Piece of Cake to install. Took Just about an hour. Loved the T-Connectors, made the install very simple. No need to splice into wires!!! Did not have to pull out the cargo side panels completely, just enough to get access to the rear light wiring harness. Will be using it to tow a utility trailer. Thank You !!!

Hitch was packaged great, very clear instructions, no missing fasteners, easy install. The trailer light kit also purchased went on without a problem. All worked well.

I have to say..... went perfect. Ordered the tow package and wiring for a 04 Hyundai santa fe and I was ready to have someone install it. Watched the video that came with my order and two hours later I was completely done.
Way to go etrailer.

Everything is working great Rachael. ... we tow the trailer quite often and have never had any issues with either the hitch or wiring harness... I would highly recommend etrailer to anyone for prompt quality service and parts.

2012 Hyundai Elantra
etrailer.com is great. Tell them what car you have and they have the right hitch. It was delivered as promised, it fit perfectly and the installation videos are thorough and accurate. No surprises, no uh-ohs.
Buy it from them.

2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
Installed fine on my 05 Hyundai Santa Fe. Watching both videos helped with the installation. I also was sure to use the Loctite dielectric grease.
by: Jamie K06/13/2013
2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
Easily installed. Was a pain removing all the panels to get access to the on-board harness, but not difficult. I basically started at the back of the vehicle and only removed what I needed to, which was right up to the LATCH hooks in the cargo area. I consider this to be a "plug-and-play" system. Works great right out of the box.
by: Mark09/16/2018
Quality wiring harness. The wire gauge is heavy duty and it is easy to install once you get all of the trim pieces and interior panels opened.
by: Todd04/24/2018
2011 Hyundai Elantra
This wiring harness works well for my 2011 Hyundai Touring. There's a lot of removing trim in order to get to the wires, but it wasn't difficult, just takes time.
by: Ian M11/16/2016
2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
Left off the 5th star because a. Said one one push stud at back of mat in the video & b. The controller module had no self adhesive back and no screw to mount it with.
Other than that - Customer service, price and assistance were First Class. I wouls rate them 9 out of 10 rather than 4 out of 5, but that option was not available.

I have bought several different harnesses for our Hyundai Santa Fe's 2002 2003 2007 2011, they are all working great still. Easy enough to install.

2012 Hyundai Elantra
This wiring harness for my Elantra Touring installed just as the write up on said it would, no suprises. It does take some time as panels have to be opened up to make the connections, but it works perfectly.
by: James Black08/31/2016
I have not installed the kit yet but I have used Tekonsha kits before and they always worked if you follow the instructions. I don't anticipate any problems.

- Instructions on Installing a Wiring Harness on a 2003 Hyundai Santa FeIf you have the T-Connector harness, part # 118473, for your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, the instructions are available on our site, and I will link you to them below. The harness snaps into the connectors that power the Santa Fe taillights.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring for 2001 Hyundai Santa FeInstead of using the 5 pole connector, you will need a T-1 Connector, part # 118473. The T-1 connector has a tail light converter that combines the brake and directional signals onto one circuit for the left side of the trailer, and one for the right side. This will allow you to tow any trailer with a 4-pole connector.
view full answer... - Trailer Towed by 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe Has Right Turn and Brake Light Not WorkingIt sounds as if your taillight converter might be bad. I will give you a link to the wiring harness installation instructions, which shows how to remove the trim panels. To test the converter box, you will have to remove the trim panel on the driver's side. Trace the wiring from the 4-way connector to find the black converter box. Using a circuit tester like # PTW2993, test the green wire going into the converter box. If you get a signal on this wire entering the box, but not on the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2001 to 2004 Hyundai Santa FeWhen it comes to trailer hitch fits for the 2001 to 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe the motor size does not matter. Curt trailer hitch # C13505 will fit. 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...
view full answer... - Will the Curt Hitch for a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe Fit Models with Full Size SpareYes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13505 which is an excellent bolt-on, assembled in USA option for a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe will fit models with a full size spare tire. The spare will need to be lowered for installation but it can be raised back up into position when done. If you'll be towing then don't forget the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118473 and the etrailer Ball Mount part # 989899.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2010 Hyundai Elantra TouringFor your 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring Hatchback we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24844 which is a confirmed fit. I like this option the best as the hitch tube will be concealed unlike the Curt equivalent. Also if you were to ever carry a bike rack you wouldn't need a stabilizer strap like you would with the Curt. You'll need the ball mount part # 3594, hitch ball # 19256, and trailer wiring # 118473 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Option for Transporting a 250 lb Snow Blower with a 2009 Hyundai ElantraSince all of the hitches available for your 2009 Hyundai Elantra are Class I hitches you would not be able to use a cargo carrier to transport your 250 lb snow blower on a cargo carrier. The tongue weight capacity for a Class I hitch is 200 lbs like you said. And when you factor in the weight of your snow blower plus the weigh to the carrier you would be way over the capacity for the hitch. I would recommend you get a hitch like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch # 24844 that you referenced...
view full answer... - Compatability of Trailer Wiring Harness, Part # 11873 with 2006 Hyundai ElantraFor your 2006 Elantra, I'd recommend the Tow Ready # . The kit would hardwire into your existing tail light circuits, right behind the taillight assemblies. The Tow Ready # 118473 is a fit for the 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, and would not fit your Elantra. We have an online video that will assist you with the installation, I will provide you with a link below. The video shows a different converter being installed on a different vehicle than yours, but the procedure would be similar. You...
view full answer... - Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount for 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring HatchbackWe do offer a confirmed hitch fit for your 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring hatchback, the Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24844. This custom-fit hitch offers no-drill installation but it will be necessary to remove the external dress panel beneath vehicle. The entire installation process and tools required are detailed in the linked instructions. I linked a helpful article too. For wiring (if the trailer has lights) you can use 4-pole harness kit # 118473 which offers simple plug-in installation...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring Harness For 2004 Hyundai Santa FeThe trailer hitch I recommend for your 2004 Santa Fe is the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader, part # 41543. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. The trailer hitches we offer for your Santa Fe do not come with the trailer wiring harness included but we also have what you need for wiring. For trailer wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118473. This simply plugs into the wiring connections located in the trunk behind the tail lights and you...
view full answer... - Hitch Availability for 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe for Towing Rental TrailerWe offer several medium-duty 2-inch Class III trailer hitch receivers for your 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. All can be seen on the link at right, and I suggest the most cost-effective of the three, part # C13505 from Curt. Many customers do their hitch installation themselves, but most local auto repair or muffler shops will do the install for a modest fee. An installation video and the written instructions are linked also, along with two helpful articles concerning hitch installation. I suggest...
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Components For Maximum Towing Capacity On 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touting HatchbackFor your 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring Hatchback to get your maximum towing capacity, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4", # 24844. I would use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Drawbar 4" Rise 2000 lbs Kit, # 3594, and use either a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball like # 19260 or a 2 inch hitch ball like # 19258 depending on your trailer coupler size. For your trailer wiring, I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector,...

Class I trailer hitches feature a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. It is also important to keep in mind that a Class I hitch is limited to carrying no more than 2 bikes on a hitch mount bike rack. You will want to make sure that any hitch accessories used are compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. This trailer hitch is designed to custom fit your...

We have test fitted the product on a Hyundai Elantra with a tow loop and I attached photos of the hitch on the vehicle. The hitch sits right in front of the tow loop and it does not interfere with the use or installation of the hitch. If your Elantra is a Touring Hatchback, this hitch will not fit and you will need Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver #24844. This hitch has a powder coat finish to ensure...

- Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2004 Hyundai Santa FeWe have a Class III trailer hitch from Curt that fits your 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, but it's not the Curt you mentioned. Instead you'd want the part # C13505 which is the correct fit for your vehicle. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118473 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. This is our most reliable trailer wiring option we offer. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a...

This kit will be a complete hard wire installation, and the kit includes a circuit tester, an in-line fuse, and wiring connectors. To install the Tow Ready # 119177KIT, you will have to connect to the vehicle wiring behind the taillights the following functions: Taillights, left turn , right turn, stop (brake), and reverse wire, and ground the converter box using the supplied wiring connectors. You will...
view full answer... - Can a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Tow a Pop Up CamperDepends on the weight of the pop up camper. If the camper weighs less than the capacity of the hitch you have installed on your 2011 Hyundai Elantra as well as the towing capacities listed in your vehicle owners manual you would be fine. The recommended ball mount is part # 3594, for a 2 inch ball part # 19258, for a 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256. For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118473.
view full answer... - Function of Stabilizing Straps Recommended for Curt Trailer Hitch C11471The strap referred to for the # C11471 trailer hitch, part # 18050, would be used as an extra stabilizer for the bike rack or accessory. In the case of a bike rack, you would attach the strap between the upright bar of the bike rack and the trunk of your 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring. This # 18050 strap is recommended to prevent extra sway due to the low tongue weight capacity of the class I hitch, in order to maintain the hitch warranty and also to provide extra support to prevent damage...
view full answer... - Wiring Harness Does Not Work on 2005 Hyundai Santa FeThere are a number of troubleshooting steps to take if the Trailer Wiring Harness # 118473 is not working for your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, in order to determine the specific problem you will need to purchase a circuit tester if you do not have one - the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 would be my strong recommendation...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Hyundai Elantra to Tow a Small Rental TrailerIf your 2012 Hyundai Elantra is a sedan model then Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 24902, will be a good choice. The recommended ball mount is # 3594 and you can use 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 or 2 inch ball # 19258. For a hatchback, use # 24844. There are Class I hitches so they have a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity and 200 pound tongue weight capacity. While this is enough for a small rental trailer, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual for the vehicle towing capacity....
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for 2004 Hyundai Santa FeI'd be happy to help you with that. Along with the Draw-Tite # 41543 hitch you'd looked at, you'll need the # 118473 trailer wiring harness. The harness is a plug and play installation, and would plug inline at the connection point where the vehicle's taillight wiring harnesses plug into the taillight assemblies as shown in the video I've linked for you. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45010 with a pin and clip # PC3, as well as # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring HatchbackThe available hitch receivers for your 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring Hatchback edition are all light-duty Class I types with a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening. The Hidden Hitch ball mount you referenced fits 2-inch hitches only and is not compatible with any of these. Likewise, the Swagman towing bike rack you referenced, part # S64664, fits 2-inch ball mounts and will not be compatible with the ball mounts that fit these hitches. No 1-1/4-inch towing racks are offered since the hitches of...

You will want to check the owners manual or the car dealer for the maximum towing capacity of your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe to make sure that your vehicle will be able to handle the capacities of the hitch you will be installing. The hardware needed will be...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch, Wiring and Related Towing Components for 2011 Hyundai ElantraYou are correct - Tow Ready wiring harness # 118473 does NOT require you to run a 12V power wire up to the battery when installed in a Touring edition of the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. If you have the sedan then the harness you need is part # C56126 which also does NOT require you to run a power wire. With ball mount # 3594 you can use 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # 19256 or 2-inch ball # 19258. These are the recommended hitch balls for use with this ball mount. Hitch # 24902 from Draw-Tite will...

After a year, the unit is still functioning perfectly. My vehicle is stored outside, closed up in hot, sunny summers, freezing in frigid Minnesota winters. The Tekonsha unit continues to do its job, perfectly.
