Installation of Tekonsha T-One Connector

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your rear cargo area. You will have to remove access panels, storage trays, and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the body harness up to your car battery, and route the blue wire up to the grommet that leads into the cargo door. Then connect all of the wires per the included instructions.


Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle. 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 7-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 2-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's 3-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.


Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

This adapter hardwires to the body harness that is included in this kit. Just connect the black wire from the brake controller adapter to your car battery, and connect the white wire to a suitable ground. The remaining wires can then be easily spliced into the body harness with the included butt connectors.


This adapter is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller. Because the harness does not hardware to your controller, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

The people are nice but I ordered something on a Monday morning at 10am and paid extra for 1 day service. I needed it right away and they were the only who had it. Something went wrong and it didn't come Tuesday. Didn't come Wednesday and Arrived Thursday. Yes, they waived the extra fee and yes, they were courteous, but when time is of the essence, they failed.

CAME IN ON TIME AND WORKED- WITH ABOUT 2 HOURS SERIOUS LABOR BY A TECHNICIAN

Very simple connections but the rout for blue wire was very difficult however great instructions. The 23 Highlander wasn't easy

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
    We can definitely help install a brake controller and 7-way on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander but first the brake controller I recommend is the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR with the install harness part # RED69FR. As this controller puts only a small knob on the dash of your vehicle and works really well using an inertia sensor to sense how hard to apply the trailer brakes. You will also need the 7-way kit part # TK57VR that its your vehicle which also comes with brake controller...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE
    I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR for your 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE. Don't be confused by the notes that say it fits the XSE models and also excluding XSE models. That is just how they feel is best to show what models it will fit. I prefer our receiver as the matte black finish looks best with the rear fascia as seen in the image below. I do recommend adding a wiring harness when you install the receiver. We have either the commonly used 4-Way Flat # TK99FR which...

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Hey Kyle, congrats on the new SUV! I am a big fan of the Redarc brake controllers for the exact same reason. The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7 plugs directly into your 4-way connector and requires you to run a brake controller, power, ground, and accessory wire. It's got all the fuses and wiring you need to complete the installation. For this set up you would need the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller item # RED44FR. The Tekonsha OEM Replacement...

  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Hitch and 7-Way on 2022 Toyota Highlander
    Hey David, lets start with a hitch for your 2022 Toyota Highlander. For that the etrailer part # e75ZR is my favorite option as it has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden. Then to install a 7-way harness all you need is the part # TK57VR and you'd be set. Does your trailer have brakes?

  • What Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller do I Need for My 2020 Toyota Highlander, and Wiring?
    Hello Ethan, The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 is an excellent choice and my go-to recommendation. I've set-up many friends and family members with this controller, and the feedback has been consistently great. You will need to splice in the controller since the 2020 Highlander does not have the vehicle specific pigtail. Since your 2020 Toyota Highlander did not come with the tow package, it likely does not have the necessary wiring...

  • Availability of 7-Way Wiring for 2023 Toyota Highlander
    We do have a 7-way blade wiring harness available for your 2023 Toyota Highlander. What you need is the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK57VR. This plugs into the connection in your rear cargo area for installation. You can use the # PK12711U and # 18140 brackets to mount the 7-way connector at the back. For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. The main unit mounts out of site so only the control knob is visible in the cab. The knob controls...

  • Installing Brake Controller on 2022 Toyota Highlander with 4-Way
    The easiest way to install a brake controller on your 2022 Toyota Highlander with a 4-way is to first install a 7-way kit with the part # TK57VR which includes brake controller wiring as well. Then for a brake controller the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 would be a great option as it's wireless and once synced to your smart phone and plugged into a 7-way is ready to tow with.

  • Troubleshooting Tekonsha 7-Way Install on a 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
    You could honestly have a problem on either the vehicle side or the trailer side. The best way to check is by using either a different vehicle or trailer to see if the problem duplicates. If you do not have another trailer or vehicle with a 7-way a Test Light # PTW2993 or 7-Way Tester # PK12741 can be used to verify if your vehicle wiring is correct. Often times when you have a wiring issue like you describe it is from the tail lights being connected backwards on the trailer. You may...

  • Does Tekonsha RF Brake Controller Work with Tekonsha 7-Way of 2020 Toyota Highlander
    Hey An, yes the Tekonsha RF part # TK94FR does fit the Tekonsha 7-Way kit part # TK57VR that fits your 2020 Toyota HIghlander. Basically the RF can fit any vehicle that has an active 7-way and the # TK57VR provides that for your vehicle. With this harness you can also use more traditional brake controllers like the P3 part # 90195 if that's something you'd be interested in as well? Our fit guide for this situation isn't exactly perfect so I apologize for that.

    I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE with AWD.

The receiver is rated or up to 750lbs of tongue weight and a trailer weight up to 5,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any manufacturer specifications.

  • Does the Draw-Tite Hitch DT95PR Block the Kick Sensor on the 2024 Grand Highlander Limited?
    Yes, it will! The Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT95PR will block the sensor around the 2" receiver but other then that location it'll still work. This hitch is custom fit for your 2024 Grand Highlander Limited. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT for a 4-way or item # TK57VR for a 7-way and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and 7-way Connector For 2020 Toyota Highlander Limited
    I'm really sorry to hear that your '14 Highlander got totaled and hope every one involved is ok! For your new 2020 Toyota Highlander Limited I recommend going with the Curt # C45CR as it's one of few hitches for your vehicle that's compatible with a weigh distribution hitch, but do know that all of the hitches for your vehicle mention that the hands free lift gate sensor will get blocked and will be very limited or may not work. I'd check with Toyota to see if they have a relocation bracket...

  • 7-Way/4-Way Trailer Wiring Solution for 2023 Toyota Highlander
    The best solution for adding a 7-way to your 2023 Toyota Highlander is the Tekonsha kit part # TK57VR which installs very easily. To allow it to be both a 7-way and a 4-way you'd want the part # 30955 which would replace the 7-way of the kit mentioned.

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers # C99FR and C45CR For a 2022 Toyota Highlander
    The main difference that you will see is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C45CR has a visible cross tube where the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR has a hidden cross tube. So when you have these mounted on your 2022 Toyota Highlander Limited you will either see just the receiver slot and chain loops that hangs down, or you will see the receiver and cross tube that attach to the mounting plates on the left and right frame rails. I have included images so that you can see the difference...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2021 Toyota Highlander With 20 Inch Spare Tire
    Most of the hitches available for your 2021 Highlander would prevent any spare tire larger than 18 inches from being stowed under the vehicle, but the exception would be the EcoHitch # EH35VR. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TK99FR for a 4 pole connector or # TK57VR for a 7-way connector. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball. I've linked to install videos that you might find helpful.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD
    For you 2023 Highlander Hybrid you'll need some different parts in order to tow you pop-up camper. For the hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65MR. This hitch will allow you to use a weight distribution hitch, which might not really be needed with a pop-up trailer but we would be helpful later on if you ever sized up. This hitch also won't interfere with the spare tire, as some will require an 18" or smaller spare. To install a 7-way on your Highlander...

    The most concealed hitch for your 2023 Toyota Highlander is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e75ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. I really like the etrailer item # e75ZR because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.
