Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your rear cargo area, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will have to remove some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead to the power cable stud on the driver's side and connect the wire using the ring terminal. Then insert the included 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in 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.
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.

2019 Volvo XC90
I have a 2019 Volvo XC 90. It took about 2 hours to install The Drawtite hitch and taillight kit. Taillights worked perfectly. No programming the cars computer. Total price etrailer: less than $300. Volvo wanted $1,600.
etrailers sales person: home run. Very nice.

The directions are OK except you have to remove the "threshold" before you can remove the side panels. Also there is a little cap over the anchors that has to be removed to gain access to the hold down bolt. The battery on a Volvo 2019 is not in the engine compartment, but under the spare tire. Much easier to tie into.

Installed myself. Good video instruction! Perfect fit!

I went to use it after a winter of not using it and all the lights on my trailer worked perfectly. I had a garage install it for me.

Easy to put on my car. Accurate instructions with all parts as required. Thanks
by: Jeffrey08/20/2021
Be careful loosening the bolt to the negative battery terminal. The little box connected to the negative cable is only soldered or brazed together and while loosening the nut mine broke in half, rendering my car undrivable. Of course in the video, the nut is very easy to get off and there is no mention of the fact this piece can break.
I'm also not sure why the loop connector doesn't fit the battery terminal when this harness is supposedly made for the vehicle.

2017 Volvo XC90
Frankly working with etrailer is as easy as working with [online retailer], the one big difference is the personal interaction and the review/installation videos. I installed the wiring on my wife's Volvo just by watching the video and I am NOT mechanical in any way.
etrailer runs the way, I run my business. Customer-centric, communicative and attention to detail.
Well done!!

The wiring fits perfectly and is easy to install. I would have given 5 stars if the instructions were easier to read/see. I couldn't even tell what the pictures were because the quality was so bad. I had to take interior panels off and feel around to find where the plugs were.

2016 Volvo XC90
This was incredibly easy to install with the online video. The wires were all plenty long enough which is where a lot of companies cut corners since copper is very expensive. Thanks for selling a great product, it is appreciated.
Comments
Thanks for asking. I’ve only towed a small garden trailer a few times so far but I wouldn’t hesitate to haul a max load across the country and back. The Volvo suv the hitch is on stays garaged so I can’t give good feedback on how it would hold up in a salty slushy winter. Luckily we are in Georgia. : This was the third hitch I have installed on my vehicles and each one was perfect. If I end up needing another hitch I will be back. Thanks, have a nice day.

Good price and high quality product. Install was very straightforward with the detailed videos at etrailer. Saved over $1000 versus dealer install!

See what our Experts say about this Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Best Trailer Wiring Kit for 2019 Volvo XC90 and is Trip to Dealer Required for ReprogrammingThe best 4-way trailer wiring option we have for your 2019 Volvo XC90 is the Tekonsha kit part # 118683 as it installs very easily and has a very reliable converter box which will do a great job being resistant to trailer wiring shorts. I attached an install video for this for you to check out on a similar 2018 XC90 as well. There would be no need to take the truck to a dealer either.
view full answer... - Does 2019 Volvo XC90 Need to be Reprogrammed After Installing Tekonsha Trailer Wiring HarnessThe Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683 that you referenced, which is confirmed to fit your 2019 Volvo XC90, will not require any kind of reprogramming or flashing on the vehicle for proper operation. The harness will simply be plugged into factory ports behind the tail light assemblies to tap into their circuits for powering a trailer's lights while towing. Once installed the provided 4-Way connector will be ready to use with no further modifications needed. I have attached...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Fit Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC90The Tekonsha trailer wiring part # 118683 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volvo XC90. Since it installs by plugging in line with the taillight harness of the vehicle it would not require any computer programming. Does your trailer happen to have LED taillights? Sometimes that causes issues with factory trailer wiring harnesses.
view full answer... - Trailer Lights Not Working when Connected to a 2017 Volvo XC90If the dealer installed the Volvo wiring harness on your 2017 Volvo XC90 then they may need to do something to make it active. I would inquire with them but they should have done that when the harness was installed. If you are using wiring harness # 118683 then make sure the fuse is inserted in its power wire and that the power wire is connected to the battery as indicated in the instructions. Also make sure the white ground wire is attached to a bare metal surface. Also make sure the...

When you are going to be using it, the harness will out of your trunk. The padding between the trunk lid and the vehicle will protect the wiring from being damaged with the trunk lid closed on it. Storing the connector inside the vehicle helps protect it and keep it clean. I'm glad the install video fo the Draw-Tite...
view full answer... - Where Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Harness Run on 2022 Volvo XC90 RechargeThe power wire of the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118683 actually doesn't need to run to a battery. It runs to power cable stud that is in the access panel where the rest of the harness installs in your 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge so there wouldn't be a need to access a traditional battery.

To help in your process, I've included an installation video for a on a '18 XC90. The video will show that the 4-way connector works without reprogramming. Should you decide to do some towing a great Ball Mount Kit is part # 989900. It comes with two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise or 4” drop - a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball,...
view full answer... - Does Installing Trailer Wiring on 2019 Volvo XC90 Require Reprogramming ComputerThe trailer wiring harness from Tekonsha part # 118683 that fits your 2019 Volvo XC90 does not require a trip to the dealer for any computer programming. Your vehicle's computer would not know it's installed at all so it's not something that would cause any issue like that. To see the entire install process on a similar 2018 XC90 check out the install video link I attached to this page. If you need a trailer hitch too we have the Draw Tite part # 76194 which is a 2 inch hitch and mostly...

The only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the square receiver tube. I have attached a photo and installation video for your reference. The video is on a 2018 Volvo but the installation will be the same for your 2019. For the wiring, I recommend Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

- Is Fascia Trimming Needed for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Install on 2017 Volvo XC90Yes, a small amount of otherwise unnoticeable fascia does need to be trimmed to install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76194 on your 2017 Volvo XC90. I have added a cut out of the linked installation instructions which show you the small section under your Volvo that needs to be trimmed. This is required because it allows room for the receiver to get close to the bumper, giving your Volvo XC90 a hitch that has a hidden crosstube and optimal ground clearance. I have added a link to a video...

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2021 Volvo XC90Let's start with the trailer hitch receiver for your 2021 Volvo XC90, and for towing what you will need is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13233. This hitch has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 900 lb tongue weight capacity though I do recommend checking your owner's manual to see what the capacity of your Volvo is and abide by that figure. Then for a wiring harness I highly recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683. This harness is the best for your XC90 because it has the...

The Draw-Tite Class III is a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver. I have attached a photo and an installation video for your reference. I recommend the wiring to illuminate the trailer lights with Tekonsha T-One wiring harness part # 118683.

In fact, you can take a look at the complete installation of this harness in the video I linked of it being installed on a '16 XC90 and you can see that the 4-way connector works without reprogramming. And though no round tube hitches are available for your Volvo XC90 I do recommend the Draw-Tite # 76194; you can see...

I'd also recommend our etrailer.com ball mount kit, part # 989900. The kit contains two different ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch and a 2 inch ball and two hitch pins.

- Are Trailer Hitches For 2021 or 2020 Volvo XC90 Rated For Weight DistributionSo there are actually no trailer hitch receivers at all for your 2021 Volvo XC90 that are compatible with a weight distribution hitch. That said, there is still an option to add a sway control unit, so long as your trailer has electric brakes (and not surge brakes); what you would need is a friction sway control unit, which is compatible with a 2" hitch.
