Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the ModuLite Installation Wiring Kit
Today we're going to be taking a look at the ModuLite installation wiring kit. This kit provides the wire to be run to the vehicle battery to power the lights on your trailer. It works with all ModuLite wiring harnesses and includes all of the connectors necessary to complete the installation of the ModuLite wiring harness. This kit's going to come with one 10-amp fuse. It's going to come with the fuse holder, which is this component right here. It's going to come with eight cable ties. These are going to be designed to secure the wiring up and out of the way as you run it along the length of the vehicle.
It's going to come with one three-eighth inch diameter ring terminal, one half-inch diameter ring terminal, and it's going to come with one bundle of wiring. This is 12-gauge wiring that measures 20 feet long. You're going to get a butt connector as well. Basically, what you would do is you would connect this wire here to the power lead coming out of the ModuLite. You want to connect the two wires with the butt connector, and then you take the other other end, run it to the vehicle battery, and one end of this bundle would connect to one half of the fuse holder. The other half of the fuse holder would get one of the two ring terminals placed on it, and get connected to the positive post of the vehicle battery.
Again, the 10-amp fuse is included, goes directly in this area here, pushes in, and then it's got the cap on there that would go over it and keep it safe and protected. Then, you've got your cable ties to secure any excess or slack in your wiring. That's going to do it for today's look at the ModuLite installation wiring kit.

The wiring harness kit that I purchased from etrailer - is AWESOME! I'm an old timer, I've been putting trailer hitches and wiring on my vehicles since the late '70's. I tow A LOT!
Remember the old days? of splicing into existing tail and brake lights? Watching your turn signals, Brake Lights DIM? or worse - blow fuses due to the added load on the circuit? Remember burning your fingers on a soldering iron (In an attempt to get the perfect and long lasting wiring job done). Remember how long it would take to get a decent job done? And hoping that it never got wet, damp, submerged? Well - let me tell you - etrailer has solved that problem with a very well engineered and crafted system. With their system - you don't have to splice into existing wiring harnesses - you simply unplug the old, and plug in their y-based electrical harness that is made specifically for your vehicle. The only other thing to do is to run a hot wire off of the battery positive terminal and secure a good ground for the system. Whah-Lahhh! You have a custom engineered and custom manufactured wiring harness - that works right out of the gate! Not only that, but the trailer lights are BRIGHT because the system takes its power source directly from the battery positive terminal. Not only that - but it does not affect the brightness of your existing brake and turn signals, either - as you are not placing additonal load on a circuit that was not designed for it. Everything is well thought out, engineered and manufactured to perfection. They even give you an in-line fuse to protect the circuit. AND-the kit is reasonably priced! AND - You can do this in less than 1/4 the time that it would normally take to find and splice into the vehicles wiring harness. Well done and my Thanks to YOU, etrailer - you have made an eternal customer out of me!! Now I am looking forward to the next Vehicle Trailer Wiring Project!

This kit needs to include two (2) butt connectors. After all, there are two open ends on the 20 foot 12 guage wire.....each requiring a butt splice.

Twenty feet of wire wasn't quite enough to make the entire run from the ModuLite to the battery in my 2000 Ford Econoline Van. It could have used another butt connector to attach the wire to the Modulite. These were very small problems as I had other wire and a connector on hand to complete the installation. Four stars for the product.
Five stars for etrailer's website and expert advice online in the form of videos, descriptions for installation, and Q&A section!
Thanks a lot!

Having just bought a new Kia Soul with LED tail lights, I needed to be certain to get the correct products to properly wire my vehicle without damaging the electrical system. Local installers in my hometown were going to simply tap into the rear tail light wiring and go straight to the trailer lights.
Thanks to you guys and your helpful videos, you advised me to use the #118151 Modulite Installation Wiring Kit in conjunction with with the #119176 Wiring Harness. By doing so, the power wire to operate the trailer lights comes directly from my vehicle battery, and alleviates and/or prevents possible damage to the tail light system of my car.
I advise anyone to get in touch with the "EXPERTS" at etrailer.com for excellent advice and superior products to get the job done!!!!
Thanks,

I installed the trailer wiring connector in about an hour and a half and it has worked well. I store the coil of the pig tail coiled in the tire inflation pump, floor compartment, until needed. I used it in my 2021 Ford Ecosport that I also installed a receiver hitch under. Easy to install and much, much cheaper than having the dealership install their version.

- Installation of Wiring for Trailer Brakes on the 2010 Volvo XC 60If you have the factory 4-way installed on your XC60 then you can use a Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit - 10 Gauge, item # ETBC7, to complete the wiring for a 7-way connector and a brake controller. This kit includes all of the wiring, connectors, circuit breakers, and trailer connector needed for installation. I have posted instructions for installing the ETBC7 kit below. If you do not have the OEM 4-Way wiring installed on your vehicle yet you can use the Curt Circuit Protected...
view full answer... - Trailer Lights Not Working After Install Wiring Harness on a 2014 Kia SorentoTo determine if the problem is with the vehicle or the trailer, first disconnect the trailer from the vehicle. Then use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 or the one that came with # C59496. Test the pins on the 4-Way using the circuit tester while someone sites in the vehicle and runs through the functions. If all the signals are correct on the 4-Way when you test it, then the issue is on the trailer. But if the signals are not correct then there is a problem with either the wiring harness,...

The box is located under the hood and on the inside of the drivers side fender. Remove the cover, and locate the two auxiliary power posts on the inboard side of the box. The post closest to the rear of the vehicle should have a red wire attached to it. Next to this post in the fuse box there should be a green 30 amp fuse installed. If the fuse is not installed or is blown, or this red wire is not...
view full answer... - What Hitch and Wiring do I Need to Tow Jet Ski Trailer with My 2021 Audi Q3 40 TFSI?Hello Robert, The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT68MR is a great option for your 2021 Audi Q3. I do want to mention that this hitch is not compatible with the hands-free tailgate feature, so installing it could cause that function to stop working. This is the case with most hitches across many vehicles. Sometimes, however, customers have found that moving their foot to the side helps them find the “sweet spot” to still activate it. For a ball...
view full answer... - Why Would Trailer Brakes Apply With BlinkersHey Chris, thank you for all of the details about your issue. What is happening is that your brake output circuit (blue wire) is shorted out to one of the stop/turn signal circuits so that any time you activate that circuit it fully locks up the trailer brakes. Since the trailer works on other trucks it's on the trailer side so you would need to trace the wiring from the 7-way back up towards front of vehicle looking for any cuts or exposed wire and fix as needed.
view full answer... - No Power to Trailer Brakes with Brake Pedal on a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HDI believe I know what is going on with your brake controller on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. But first a note on brake controllers. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific. Some trucks do have an option to plug a brake controller in directly and the harnesses used are vehicle specific. But the brake controllers themselves are not. Your 2006 Chevy Silverado is a model that can have a brake controller plugged directly into it. I do not know which brand brake controller it is that...

- Activating Power to a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500You are correct, there are some connections that will need to be made under the hood of your 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 in order to make the brake controller and possibly the 7-Way trailer connector fully functional. We actually have a detailed FAQ article covering the connections that need to be made. I have included a link to the article for you to view. You will want to look at Step 2 - Under the Hood. Basically, you will remove the top cover of the power distribution box, the closest...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Controller Does Not Work with Brake Pedal on a 2001 Chevy SilveradoWhen a brake controller works with the manual override but not with the brake pedal that indicates an issue on the red wire. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the red wire. It should show power when you step on the brake pedal. If it does not, then the first thing I would check is the position of the red wire in the connector that plugs into the truck. It should be positioned like in the picture I have provided. If it is in another location, then move it to the proper location. If...

- No Power On Electric Brake Output Pin on 2007 Chevy Silverado 7-Way Trailer ConnectorIf your 2007 Chevy Silverado is the new body style then you will need to make sure that the blue brake controller wire is connected to the dark blue tow package wire. The tow package wire bundle is up under the dash and to the left of the steering column held together with a white tag. There also may be some connections that will need to be made under the hood. The help article I have linked will help with that. If your 2007 Silverado is a Classic (looks like a 2006) then instead of...

- Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500For the 2001 Chevy Silverado with or without a factory 7-Way trailer connector, the wiring for the brake controller is present. However on some models there are additional connections that will need to be made under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to an FAQ article that explains these connections. If your truck does not have the factory installed 7-Way trailer connector you will need to add one using # HM40975. Or, if there is a round connector above...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and Brake Controller on a 2002 Ford E-350 Cutaway AmbulanceA lot depends on what the factory 7-Way wiring is being used for. You may not want to tap into it if it is used for critical functions that might overload the circuitry in the event both are used at the same time. What I recommend is what you have suggested and adding a 4-Way to the tail lights, # 118344, provided the tail lights are the same on your cutaway as the regular E series van. If they are different then I recommend a powered converter, # C59236. This will get the signals for...

The red wire has a ring terminal and goes to the closest positive post in the power distribution box with a 30 amp fuse installed in the fuse location nearest the positive post, for power to the brake controller. The blue wire has a plug on it that you will need to remove. You will need to run a length of Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, #...

This harness features a substantial current output of 7.5 amps for tail lights and 4.2 amps for each stop/turn circuit. It works with vehicles and trailers having either standard incandescent...

It was replaced with the Upgraded Modulite Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119147 which for all intents and purposes, is the exact same. If you need another install kit, we have this available as well, the ModuLite Installation Wiring Kit part # 118151.

However, unless your trailer is drawing more than 7.5 amps for brakes/turn signals and/or 7.5 amps for running lights, you can just use the Curt harness # C55317 and it will be much easier. But to add a brake controller as well, you will also need to add a 4 and 7 Way installation kit # ETBC7. Your brake controller will need to be hardwired into the truck. I have included some instruction links and videos that will explain...

Use the owner's manual to find all fuse/relay locations. If that is not the issue, then it sounds like the previous owner has done a number on the original set up and you may have to have Toyota replace some of the factory tow package parts. Regarding the under-hood connection, it might already be set up from the factory (but the fuse associated with the battery feed could be...

With that much amperage draw I would not recommend to connect them to your factory wiring harness. It could cause overloading problems and damage your vehicles wiring harness. If you want to install the 55-watt lights on your 2006 Ford F-250 you will need to use the Draw-Tite Wiring Kit # 118151. This kit will allow you to run a separate 12 gauge...

I recommend have the power wire run through wiring kit # 118151 which includes an in line 10 amp fuse.

This harness provides a maximum 16 amps for the tail light and 4.2 amps per stop and turn signal circuit. This harness installs on the truck and you will use the tail light wires from the factory 7-way to connect to the input wires on the harness. Then run the out put wires to the tail light wires on your 7-way. There's also an optional installation...

Without knowing the year, make and model of your truck, I can recommend universal parts to get the job done. You'll need to start out with a 4-pole hardwire kit that is designed to convert your 3-wire system (separate stop/turn signals) to work with the 2-wire system (combined stop/turn signals) on the trailer, like the # C59496. From there, if all you're wanting is to control the basic trailer...

For a ball mount you would want part # C45521 and then for a hitch ball # A-82 for a 2 inch ball and part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

This ball mount has a 5/8 inch rise or 1-1/4 inch drop and measures 9-3/4 inches long. For a hitch pin and clip you can use part # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40001 and for a 2-inch ball I recommend part # C40018....
