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.
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 Power Module
A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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.

I have bought trailer hitches from Etrailer several times over the past few years. I don't bother going anywhere else because you just can't beat their customer service, pricing and shipping
by: Paul 07/29/2022
Wiring harness and instructions were very easy to understand and install
by: Hans 08/10/2022
Shipment arrived promptly with all items. The instructions and videos provided made the install super easy. This is my second purchase using etrailer and their products and highly recommend them for all towing needs. Great quality and priced affordable.
by: James09/16/2022
There probably isn't anything wrong with the harness, but couldn't install it because it wasn't the right model.
etrailer recommended this harness for me 2012 Town & Country, but when I got around to installing it, I found that it was for a 2010 model and wouldn't work on my 2012 model. I was passed the 60 days to return, they refused to let me exchange it for the proper one. I felt that since it was the harness they recommended that they should make it right, but etrailer chose not to do the right thing. So I sit with a harness that is useless to me. I wouldn't buy anything from etrailer ever again....I don't trust them anymore!!

My order was received promptly and complete, as always from etrailer!
Your installation videos are always helpful and accurate.
The one suggestion I have concerning this product is that the battery lead coming out of controller should be longer. The controller is generally installed before the lead is crimped to the battery connection. Once the controller is installed, it is challenging to reach the lead to attach the battery power wire because of very limited working space. Just a thought.
Installed as instructed and tests as desired.
Comments
Installed easily, as outlined in your excellent video.

I have used etrailer numerous times and it is always a great experience. I am a cyclist, and so are several of my family members - and we go to etrailer every time we need to add a hitch to a car for the bike racks. They always have what I need at a great price and I never seem to have the "supply chain" issues that seem to pop up everywhere else. Always quick, always right, and always a great price. What more could you ask for??
by: Curtis W. 05/10/2019
Easily installed. Actually my wife and her friend installed the hitch and wiring. I installed the adapter wiring and attached to the hitch. Seems like a great product.
by: Bill 08/06/2022
Called ETRAILER to order a very nice lady( CAMELLA L) answered, she was very efficient and friendly. The parts were to be delivered in 5 days arrived in 3 days. I watched a video on installation, the parts fit as advertised. THANK YOU CAMELLA for helping me.

Still working great and on its second winter of use.

It is a good and complete kit.
I installed it with everything included and did not need to go get additional wiring.
It functioned as expected!
So, thumbs up.
by: Donald04/02/2022
Your YouTube video on the installation of the electrical lighting was right on track. Everything I needed to know and do and what tools I would need was spot on. The job went easier than I expected and the results were just as the video explained. Thanks for some really great materials and how to vids.

Great product at the right price, delivered quickly, and fit my vehicle perfectly.
by: Brian01/06/2020
2009 Jeep Patriot
Great product, the connectors make it easy to set up your trailer lighting configuration. The video is helpful as well. I will say this, though - avoid the part about running the wire all the way to your battery if at all possible. This is totally unnecessary (and a lot more work) if you have a lead wire available inside the rear of your left taillight like I discovered through other sources of information in my install process. Just connected the black wire provided (without the extension cord) to this lead wire behind the taillight and I was good to go. Saved me a lot of hassle trying to string a wire throughout my entire vehicle and into the area under the hood.
by: David 03/07/2021
It was straight forward and easy to install. It took a total of about 15 or 20 minutes to install this wiring and it worked perfectly.
Comments
It still works just as it did when I installed it
David - 03/08/2022by: Zeb06/07/2019
I remember what was involved in this job before these harnesses. This is a wonderful solution. Very easy to follow instructions make for an easy professional installation. A little patience when running the power wire goes a long way. The factory connections ensure reliable, maintenance free operation. I like the loop on the flat 4 connector that secures to the safety chain loop to secure the connector when not in/not in use. The only shortfall is that there aren't enough zip ties included to properly secure the power wire when routing it to the battery. I would recommend this product if you want a one-and-done trailer lighting solution.
Comments
After using these harnesses on two vehicles for over a year on one, and two years on the other, both in a northern climate Ive experienced no issues what-so-ever. Im very satisfied.
Zeb - 06/08/2020by: Charliean11/21/2021
Easy site to use. Easy ordering super fast shipping. Easy to install, I did it in an hour without a lift. Recommended to all my friends for wiring harness needs!!

Wow, starting with my order on Tuesday I had excellent customer service, then a short 2 days (really?) later I recieved my Rola cargo carrier and light kit. Your videos make it easy to assemble and install. Prices are cheaper than anywhere on the net. Attached are some pics but it is snowing buckets in South Dakota right now, glad when we get to sunny Orlando, thanks etrailer!!!

Just finished the install of this unit on my 2014 patriot and it couldn’t have been easier. I’ve used other models in the past on another patriot that involved wire splices and poor instructions and installation took forever. Not the case this time. The installation video specific to my vehicle provided on etrailer’s website was dead on and incredibly helpful. Overall great experience both with the product and company.

See what our Experts say about this Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where Right Turn Stays On all the Time with Trailer ConnectionSounds like you have a short between the right turn/blinker circuit and the 12 volt power circuit. Most likely when you rewired the setup a couple wires ended up touching each other and causing the problem you described. I'd recommend going over the wiring of the trailer to see if you can find where the issue is and fix as needed. I also attached a help article on troubleshooting trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Why Would Trailer Wiring of Boat Trailer Only Illuminate Left Turn Signal All the TimeSounds like you shorted out the converter box of your boat trailer wiring. The way the lights are illuminating is a classic indicator of a shorted converter box. Did you back the trailer in water with the wiring connected and then it stopped working? If so, the water shorted out the converter box and now it would need to be replaced.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Install on 2010 Chrysler Town and Country that Doesn't WorkSounds like the ground wire is your issue. But first did you check to make sure there's a good fuse in the fuse holder of the # 118552? It's pretty easy to forget that. But for the ground strap you need to have it connected to a metal surface that comes into contact with the vehicle frame in order for it to ground properly. I am not exactly sure where you have it now but it sounds like it's not attached to a metal surface.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Jeep PatriotWe have custom fit trailer wiring harnesses for your 2015 Jeep Patriot that will make installing trailer wiring much easier than trying to hardwire a connector. You shouldn't try to hardwire a 4-way directly to your vehicle's wiring too as it can't handle the amperage draw of trailer wiring. The kits we offer like the part # 118552 actually draw power from the vehicle battery to prevent damaging the taillight circuits. This kit installs by plugging inline with your taillight connectors...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring 4-Way Recommendation for 2014 Jeep PatriotTo install a 4-way on your 2014 Jeep Patriot requires the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118552 that you mentioned. Since there isn't a plug-in adapter for a simple wiring harness install you'd have to go with this option which installs inline with the taillights of your vehicle to provide the 4-way. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Size of Included Fuse for T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118552The fuse that goes in to the fuse holder of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118552 that you referenced is a 10 amp fuse.
view full answer... - Why Does Trailer Wiring of 2008 Dodge Caravan Require Running Power Wire to Vehicle BatteryNot all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need a setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. This also helps prevent a trailer wiring short from damaging the vehicle wiring as well. For your 2008 Dodge Caravan you need to install a harness...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Kit Recommendation for 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan thats More Reliable than CurtSounds like there's a short on the right stop/turn circuit of your trailer which is causing the trailer wiring harness to stop working like it needs to. This is almost always the issue when a specific function of trailer wiring keeps failing. So what I recommend is that you go over the trailer wiring looking for any obvious shorts like cut or frayed wire and fix as needed and then install the Tekonsha kit part # 118552 on your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan instead as this kit will be much more...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Lights Dim with Factory Wiring Harness on a 2016 Jeep PatriotThe issue you described could be either that there is an error with the factory trailer wiring harness you have now or that it is just simply not compatible with LED trailer lights. I unfortunately would not have much advice on how to test/troubleshoot the factory trailer wiring harness but I can confirm that the trailer wiring harnesses we carry for your 2016 Jeep Patriot are compatible with LED lights. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118552 as it is plug and play as...
view full answer... - Right Side Trailer Lights Do Not Work After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness on 2009 Grand CaravanTo determine if the converter box is bad on your trailer wiring harness, I recommend testing the wires going into the converter box from the tail lights by probing them with a circuit tester. If you have power for the right turn signal and brake light going into the converter box but no power coming out of the converter box, then the converter box is probably bad and should be replaced. I also recommend inspecting the harness from the converter box to the 4-way trailer connector. Sometimes...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Lights Do Not Work on Trailer Towed by 2008 Jeep PatriotIt sounds like there could be either a wiring issue, short, or a ground problem that is causing the trailer brake lights to not work properly when towing with your 2008 Jeep Patriot. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds...
view full answer... - Trailer Right Turn Signal Does Not Work Using Wiring Harness on a 2008 Chrysler Town and CountryYou have tested the converter on trailer wiring harness # 118552 correctly. Since there is the correct signal going into the converter but not coming out that indicates that the converter is bad and the harness will need to be replaced. The Tow Ready wiring harnesses have a 1 year limited warranty so based on the date of purchase you would be outside of that window. The modern day wiring harnesses are very sensitive because the vehicle wiring on newer vehicles is sensitive. Because of...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting T-1 Connector Part # 118552 on 2010 Dodge Grand CaravanHaving the signal bleed over from the drivers side to the circuit feeding the passenger side usually indicates a ground problem. Try running a jumper from the white ground wire coming off the converter to the negative battery terminal, and see if that solves your problem. If so, try using a different grounding point for the converter. If there is a factory installed grounding point nearby, that would be ideal. If no factory ground is available, try shooting the grounding screw into a pinch...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118552 on a 2011 Jeep PatriotThe Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118552, is the correct wiring harness for the 2011 Jeep Patriot 4x4. If the functions on the trailer connector of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118552, tests good without the trailer hooked up then you will need to check the trailer for possible wiring problems. The most common situation is that there is a bad ground on the trailer. A bad ground on the trailer could cause the situation you are seeing. Check all of the ground connections...
view full answer... - How To Determine What Is Causing Wiring Harness Converter To Short Out on 2009 Dodge Grand CaravanA light bulb going out on the trailer will not cause a converter box to short out, but it is indicating a short on the trailer that could be causing the converter box on your vehicle to short out. If all of the functions at the 4-Way connector on your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan are working properly, we can turn our attention to the trailer. Start by checking all of the light bulbs on the trailer to be sure they are installed properly and in good working condition. Next, check the ground...
view full answer... - Why Does the T-1 Wiring Harness for 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Have to Draw Power From the BatteryThe actual voltage to power the trailer lighting is drawn from the fused 12-volt feed that is ran to the battery. The connections that attach inline behind the tail lights provide the signal that tells the trailer lights when to activate. This has the benefit of isolating the voltage that powers the trailer lights from the wiring system that powers the tail lights on your Grand Caravan. A short circuit on the trailer wiring can blow the fuse on the power circuit at the battery or possibly...
view full answer... - Effects of a Vehicle Wiring Kit and 2008 Dodge Grand Caravans Battery When Idle for 6 MonthsThe ModuLite in the custom fit vehicle wiring kit # 118552 is designed to draw it's power from the battery. As a result, it bypasses the electrical routes that are used by the wiring harness. I spoke with our technical representative at Tow Ready about your vehicle sitting for 6 months. As long as you have a good battery and the wiring is properly sealed everything should be just fine. It may draw a little power from the battery but the ModuLite does a good job protecting your vehicles...
view full answer... - Trailer Left Turn Signal/Brake Light Only Lights Up when Running Lights are OnIt sounds like the left trailer light might be connected to the wrong circuit since it comes on with the running lights and does not blink with the turn signal activated. Does it light up when you step on the brake pedal? If it does not then it is likely connected to the wrong circuit. If it does light up then there is likely a bad ground. Ground problems can cause all sorts of weirdness to occur. Make sure the truck and trailer side connectors, including the adapter, are clean and free...
view full answer... - No Trailer Lights Using a 4- to 7-Way AdapterYes, it will matter if the ground wire is attached. It will have to be attached to a clean, bare metal surface or the 4- to 7-Way adapter will not work. It sounds like that is the problem. Especially if the 4-Way by itself has power but does not when plugged into the adapter.

Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. If you were to run the power wire of the # 118552 to anything but the battery you would void the warranty of the kit and would no longer have the circuit...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2013 Dodge DurangoPowered kit will give you a safer harness that will protect the delicate taillight wiring of your Durango. The non-powered kit will be much easier to install but potentially could damage your vehicle wiring in the event of a short. The best solution I can make is the part # 118552. This is a powered unit that is custom fit for your vehicle. It also is made by the most reliable trailer wiring harness brand we offer.
view full answer... - How to Route 12V Power Wire for Trailer Wiring Harness 118552 Installation in 2011 Dodge DurangoThere are several reasons why we do not recommend using a 12V auxiliary power outlet to install a 4-pole wiring harness like # 118552. First, this will void the product's 1-year warranty. Second, and most important, this installation will not provide the same degree of protection for the vehicle's own internal wiring. The reason that a powered type harness like this one is specified for your vehicle is that by installing it as directed with a separate 12V power feed direct from the battery...
view full answer... - Installing a T-One Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2009 Dodge CaliberThere is nothing special to consider when installing part # 118552. They are essentially the same vehicle with a different body. How the taillights are attached and other little things like that may differ a bit, but not much. Follow the instructions and you should have little or no problems installing this.
view full answer... - Recommendedation for a Trailer WIring Harness for a 2009 Dodge CaravanI do not have any specific wire color information on that particular vehicle. To locate which wire carries the signal for the tail/running lights, remove the taillight assembly as if you were replacing a burned out bulb. Have a helper turn on the headlights, then probe the wires running to the assembly with a circuit tester such as our part # 40376, until you find the wire that shows current. For this vehicle, we offer a T-1 Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118552. To install this converter,...
