Video Transcript for Review of Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - Trailer Hitch Wiring - TK36VR

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-way flat trailer connector. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 2020 and newer Subaru Legacy vehicles, and on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this'll work for your application. Now, this kit will provide a 4-way flat trailer connector to the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights. It is compatible with the 5-pole, 6-pole, and 7-pole adapters that we do sell separate on our website. And this does connect very quickly and easily, all you have to do is locate your connection points, which are behind the tail lights, plug in these T-connectors, one on each side, one on the driver's side, one on the passenger's side, ground your white wire here, and then connect this power wire to the vehicle's battery.

Now, this does include this ModuLite tail light converter, and this is to ensure that your vehicle's wiring will match that of your trailer. It is a powered module, connects directly to the battery, and that's to avoid overloading your vehicle's electrical system. Now, this converter does use the surface mount technology for consistent reliable performance that'll help maximize your trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, and it does ensure superior operation in any rough road conditions. We mentioned, it does come with the dust cover for your 4-way, so when you're not plugged into your trailer, you can just put that cover over there, and it'll protect those terminals from the elements and for any damage. Now, few specs on this harness, the maximum amperage for the stop and turn lights is five amps per circuit, for the tail lights is 7.5 amps per circuit, and this does come with everything shown here on the table.

And then just briefly how this would install, what you'll wanna do is go to the rear of your vehicle, gain access behind the tail lights, and then you'll wanna start on the driver's side. Take this T-connector that has the yellow wire in it, that's for the driver's side, unplug your harness, plug this into it, and then go to the passenger side, take the other T-connector that has the green wire in it and the length of wire, run that over there, do the same, plug this into the harness behind the tail lights. Once those are both plugged in, you'll wanna a run this bonded wire out the back that the 4-way's attached to, and then this converter box has a little weight to it, so you do wanna attach that to a nice flat surface, so it doesn't bounce around. They do have a little tab here with a hole in it that you put a screw through, or they even give you some double faced tape that you can use to attach it down. And then your last two wires are your white wire and your black wire, the white wire has an eyelet on it, so that's designed to connect to a good clean ground if there's one nearby, if not, they do have a grounding screw that you can make your own ground, and then the last wire is your power wire.

Now, that wire will need to run to the front of the vehicle to the vehicle's battery, and you can do that by they give you this length of wire to use and then the connectors. So you'll take one of these butt connectors, put it on the power wire, connect it to one end of the length of wire, and then run that all the way up to the front. Now, when you get to the front, you don't wanna connect that directly to the battery, you wanna run it through this inline fuse holder. So take the other butt connector, connect it to one end of the fuse holder, just like that, on the other end, take your eyelet connector, and connect that, and then that'll connect to the battery. Once it's all connected, pop it open, take your included 15 amp fuse, slide it into the fuse holder, once you get it all the way in there, put your cap on there, and now your systems all ready to go.

If you noticed, they do give you some extra cable ties to take up any slack in this wiring, and it does include a nice set of instructions that'll describe how this all connects. But that should do it for the review on this T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-way flat trailer connector..
