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 access panel doors 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 connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system.by: Ozzy07/03/2022
Installed on my 2015 transit. Overall great with only a couple observation. The video instruction would be a real pain to follow unless you have a lift to get under this van. I ran the power through the interior and through the firewall on the driver side. Much easier than getting this thing on jacks. There is a port you can use on the driver side that is just under the battery. The line to the connector should be just a bit longer but it will work. Take your time, mostly an easy install.
by: Maureen04/20/2022
Not really happy that wire has to come out of back hatchway and rest between bumper and hatchway- terrible design - only thing protecting it is the rubber gasket at the hatchway - wish I knew that before I had it installed
Comments
I wanted to reach out to you in regards to your review on the wiring harness. If you are able to locate a grommet in the rear of the vehicle the it would be possible to route the wiring down out of the cargo area to under the vehicle. More than likely the grommet used would not be used large enough to route the 4-way connector itself out of the vehicle. You would probably have to cut the connector off leaving enough wire to splice the like-colored wires back together after routing the wiring down out of the cargo area and under the vehicle. If you did the splicing inside the cargo area of the vehicle the splice locations would be protected from the elements and last much longer. Once you have the wiring routed out of the vehicle to the hitch, you can use the 4-Way mounting bracket, # 18144, and the No-Drill Mount Bracket, # 18140, to mount the connector near the receiver on the hitch. I do have a video where we routed the wiring on a 2011 Toyota Sienna which you can see below. I realize that it is a diofferent vehicle however it can give an idea of what would be involved.

Easy to install, clear instructions and working great, it has been installed for 4 months now with no issues.

The kit installation went smoothly. The etrailer instruction video was very helpful.
The wire going to the battery was barely long enough and another few inches would have been nice, but it did work OK.

This wiring kit worked excellent and was very easy to install I would recommend this for your trailer wiring.

Ford Transit Connect
2015 Ford Transit Connect - very little ground clearance and no lift. Went with 4 jack stands and a creeper. I watched the etrailer video and wired it exactly the same way. Install came off without a hitch (groan). Checked with a Curt connector tester (very handy to have and only a few bucks) and all was fine. Great product and the installation video was awesome.

2015 Ford Transit Connect
I purchased this particular wiring harness based on the reviews by etrailer.com. I recently installed a Curt hitch on my 2015 Ford Transit Connect and was unsure which wiring harness I should use. After watching the etrailer.com videos and harness comparison, I decided to purchase the Tekonsha brand. Installation was straight forward and the package included everything needed to complete the job. Operational test results were perfect. Thank you very much for the great product and website videos.
Comments
Ive had the hitch wiring for a year now and it has performed flawlessly every time Ive used it. Excellent wiring harness.
Cecil S - 07/10/2019by: Kevin 09/23/2021
All the products I purchased appeared to be made with great attention to detail and best of all were made in the USA. I chose to wait for the Curt products because they were made here and it was worth the short wait.
by: Jason 06/06/2021
It’s well thought out and once you figure out how remove panels and run wiring for your vehicle its all plug and play other then the power wire and fuse. I wouldn’t suggest the absolute novice take this on but even minor mechanical ability and you can do it. If your going to do this in your driveway I’d suggest vehicle ramps to give yourself clearance to run the power wire.

2018 Ford Transit Connect
I am very satisfied with this wiring kit! I chose this kit over the others, because I like the way the wiring for the passenger side lights went over the doors. I felt that this method was better than running them under the cargo trim where they might get damaged by a heavy object. (It is a cargo van). Also, the four way trailer connector tucks nicely in the jack storage area. For me this is a plus, since I don't tow that often and it keeps the plug clean and dry. The quality of the kit was excellent. The wiring is exactly the right lengths and it made for a very tidy installation.
by: Kris06/06/2021
e trailer was a great company fast shipping and had a product that was simple to install and left a clean installation
by: Patrick03/19/2019
Wiring kit seems sturdy enough and installation was reasonable with a few exceptions. 1. All installation videos and instructions featured cargo van models NOT passenger wagon models. There are several differences including significant additional trim and seat belts which must be removed in order to access the wiring connections. 2. A couple wiring splices are required which seem unnecessary had they given a little more thought to design - adding inline fuse and connecting main power wire. Overall, not the best product or experience I've had from etrailer but not too bad. Installation took about 2 hours with most of it dedicated to running the power wire from the back of the van to the battery up front.

2017 Ford Transit Connect
Package had everything that was needed. The installation video on the web site was extremely helpful. Nice to see how it was installed on my exact vehicle. Finding the taillight connector, disconnecting it and installing the T connection of the wiring harness was a little difficult and required disconnecting the seat belt on the passenger side. Otherwise everything went smoothly. Website was great and easy to navigate. Will definitely use etrailer again.
by: Clyde03/06/2020
Well there isn't much to report here. The wiring harness was plug and play, as advertised. Installation was both easy and simple after watching the videos featured along with the product description etrailer's website. If you spend more than 30 minutes before you start putting away your tools call etrailer they will have you on the right track in just a few minutes.

- Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2017 Ford Transit ConnectWe do offer trailer wiring kits that fit your 2017 Ford Transit Connect. For that the T-One kit part # 118613 is a confirmed fit and would work well. This is our most reliable and popular option so it would be the kit we recommend highest. I also attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Does Trailer Wiring for 2014 Ford Transit Connect work with LED Trailer LightingThat sounds like an issue that factory trailer wiring would have if it was installed in your 2014 Ford Transit Connect. I can tell you that if you install the Tekonsha part # 118613 which is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle it will easily work with trailer's that have LED taillights. It has been tested with this style of lighting as well as incandescent and it works great.
view full answer... - Does Power Wire For Trailer Wiring on 2016 Ford Transit Connect Require Running to BatteryNot all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. 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. For your 2016 Ford Transit Connect you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that you...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 4-Pole Wiring Harness in 2015 Ford Transit ConnectThe T-One wiring harness you referenced, part # 118613 that fits your 2015 Ford Transit Connect, uses a 12V power wire and 15-amp fuse to deliver power to operate the harness. If the entire harness suddenly stopped working then the first thing to check is the fuse. You don't need a wiring schematic to troubleshoot. The other most common reason for the harness to stop working is a bad ground connection. A weak ground could cause some light functions to work while others do not. Taillights,...
view full answer... - Does Tekonsha Trailer Wiring # 118613 Have to Run to Battery of 2017 Ford Transit ConnectIt's very tempting to get the 12 volt power source for the trailer wiring # 118613 from the outlet you mentioned on your 2017 Ford Transit Connect but we cannot recommend this as the reason it needs to run up to the vehicle battery is so that it bypasses any factory wiring and protects it in the event of a short. That way if something were to happen on your trailer wiring any short created would have no effect on the vehicle wiring.
view full answer... - Can 2016 Ford Transit Connect Can Support Scooter LiftThe Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13167 that you are looking at features a tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds. With that in mind the hitch itself is up to the task of carrying your lift that will weigh around 300 pounds when loaded. It has been tested and rated to safely support this tongue weight with plenty of safety margin as well. Hitch manufacturers do take into account the extra weight that bouncing down the highway puts onto their hitches and are rated accordingly. The other...

The harness connectors on such kits install in between the vehicle plugs and the tail lights themselves. For the 2014 Ford Transit Connect we have three such products, all shown on the linked page, and all of these use custom connectors selected to match those on your vehicle. Of the three we have I recommend the Tekonsha # 118613 since we find their wiring products to be the most reliable. If you...

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Ford Transit ConnectThe best hitch option for your 2022 Ford Transit Connect is the Curt part # C13167 as it's a 2 inch hitch which means it has better towing capacities and is the hitch that most accessories are made for like bike racks/cargo carriers. If you plan to do some towing yes you would need trailer wiring, but if you didn't have plans to tow it would not be needed. The best trailer wiring kit would be the # 118613.

I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as an install video for you to check out of this hitch being installed on a Ford Transit Connect. For towing you will also need a wiring harness to power your...
view full answer... - Ball Mount and Cargo Carrier for 2014 Ford Transit Connect VanThe Curt Class III hitch you mentioned, part # C13167 provides a 2 inch square receiver that the shank on your basket will slide into, so you won't need a ball mount to use the cargo basket. You would want to choose a cargo carrier that has an angled shank to provide greater ground clearance. The Curt # C18152 shank provides 2-1/2 inches of additional ground clearance. If you will be doing some towing you will need a ball mount. To determine which one to use, you'll measure the height...

We do have the # C56196 converter, but it is not a powered unit. With your 2016 Ford Transit Connect not having enough power to get the lights on a trailer working though, I do not recommend this option. With that being said, these do go out over time and I have found that the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harnesses, like the # 118613, are the superior...

It is not all that difficult at all; just a lot of running wires to various places on the vehicle. To get started the first thing you will need is a trailer connector if the vehicle does not have one already. If you have the Transit T250 then I recommend # 22114 which adds the 7-Way you will need along...

I linked an install video for the similar Curt hitch # C13167 - also a confirmed fit. For a wiring harness for towing you can use the Tow Ready 4-pole wiring kit # 118613.
