Installation Information

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, on the driver's side.

Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. 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 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Customer service rep helped me with the right harness. It arrived on time. Worked like a charm. Sure beats running around town trying to buy it from a store whose sales reps that have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about, much less of what they're selling (tried that first, unsuccessfully). Thanks for the help.

This part is meant for Jeeps that have the factory tow package. I am wondering if that is the issue here. If your jeep doesnt have that then you would need part # 118425.

I recently recieved my tow hitch for a 2000 Dodge Dakota. The part arrived promptly and in excelent condition. I was very pleased with the quality of this hitch by Curt. It was very stout and had great welds. I haven't had a chance to mount the unit yet but the measurements look to be right on. etrailer.com has a new customer.

The product was everything that was advertised it arrived in perfect condition I guess I just misunderstood what I needed and inevitably ordered the wrong part my 05 Jeep Liberty did not come with a 7-way so I need a different harness to be able to hook up my trailer should have called customer service first

If your Liberty didnt have the factory 7-way, I would recommend the # 118524 Tekonsha powered taillight converter.

The kit was extremely easy to install and fits like a fine glove. So easy in fact that the factory could not have done better looking job. Works great although I rarely use my trailer but I know when I do, I can rest assured that the wiring will not be a problem as it used to be.

have since started driving a different vehicle. My jeep bit the dust. I liked the harness and it always worked fine but I didnt get to use it too long. I do remember how easy and well thought out the installation process was. I do keep a link to your website and have turned on others to it. Sometimes it was already too late but now they know its there. Ill definitely keep you guys in mind in the future

This product was what was recommended by your site as the proper wiring harness and it IS NOT compatible with my vehicle. Our family’s vacation has already been pushed back by 2 days dealing with this situation and we are still working on finding a local solution!

This wiring harness is only compatible if your Freightliner Sprinter has the factory equipped 7-way trailer connector, as we state in our product fit guide. If your Sprinter does NOT have the factory 7-way, youd need part # 118650 instead.

Fit just like advertised. They have excellent customer service. Videos and pictures were a great help.

etrailer received, filled, packaged and shipped my small order (wiring harness) within an hour, then turned it over to the US Post Office.... Within 2 days, it crossed the state line from Missouri into Illinois. A few days later, it was received in Chicago and should have arrived in Canada in short order.... Instead, tracking my order a week later revealed that it was resting comfortably in Miami Florida. A call to etrailer and Carol soon straightened things out. It eventually found its way to me and I am quite pleased with the service from etrailer. The Post Office? Well, you know..... Bobber.

The T-wire harness was great, installed well and works fine.
The Seat covers are great as well, durable and easy to install, will consider rear seat covers if available?
The stabilizer bracket would not work with my platform rig, but looked of good quality and I will find a use for it.



by:
2006 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Bought this for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter didn't realize it would not work on a Sprinter with out towing package. Had to buy different kit and splice the wires in (not fun) make sure you have the right kit if you are working on a Sprinter. On a vehicle with the right harness it works great just plug in and go.

Thanks to etrailer's excellent customer service, I was FINALLY able to order the correct wiring harness for my '01 Dodge Durango. There are many variables due to several Durango models, and this was the correct one. Has worked flawlessly since installation.

I was in a hurry and I bought the wrong wiring harness. I have ordered the right wiring harness and it is on the way. My truck does not have the factory trailer connections for the wiring harness that I ordered.

For a 2004 Dodge Dakota with a factory seven way this harness adds a 4 flat. For a 2004 Dodge Dakota that did not come with a factory harness part # 118323 would be a fit.



by:
2007 Jeep Liberty

I watched a video of theirs on Youtube which linked to the correct part and I bought what the video linked to, assuming it was the one shown in the video (without the factory 7-way). They sold me the one that uses the factory 7-way (which I don't have) and when I called asking to exchange it for the right one, they said it wasn't possible. They said they'd take it on refund, but are charging me for return shipping, and considering it's such a lightweight and cheap part to ship (and their website's mistake), I'm losing a significant portion of the money I spent on it.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with Brakes Using a 2006 Dodge Durango
    I was not able to locate an exact towing capacity for your 2006 Dodge Durango online but I do have a way for you to determine this. What you are going to want to do is open the driver door and look for a white info tag which will display both the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and the gross combined weight rating (GCWR). If you take the GVWR and subtract that from the GCWR that will then give you your maximum towing capacity. Assuming the gross trailer weight (GTW) is within the maximum...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2008 2500 Dodge Sprinter
    If you had a 7-way connector at the rear of your vehicle you would probably know it. It would be a black connector plastic connector like the picture I attached. If you have one then the # 118381 would work for you. If not, you would instead want the Curt Wiring Kit part # C59496.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Connector on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500
    When you say that everything works fine, are you referring to the lights on the truck, or the lights on a trailer when its plugged in? If the problem is with the lights on the trailer, unplug the trailer and use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the trailer connector as each lighting function is activated. This will help determine if the wiring problem is on the truck or in the wiring on the trailer. If you find the problem is on the vehicle wiring, the easiest course of action...

    With your 2006 Jeep Liberty, the factory tow package wiring is not easy to distinguish. If you have a factory 7-way that makes it easy as you know that the tow package wiring is there. The main difference between the tow package and no tow package is the wiring for the tow package gives you the rectangular connector under the vehicle that the 7-way # HM42190 plugs into.

  • Adding a 4- and 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2000 Dodge Ram with Factory Wiring Harness
    We have 4-Ways that Tee into that square factory connector, such as # 118381 which also fits some full size vans. We also have a 7-Way # HM42190 but it doesn't have a 4-Way built in. But we also have # 20135 which is both a 4- and 7-Way and has that squarish connector. If you are not the original owner of the truck then it is possible that it came with a 4-Way flat (or someone added one) and then used a 4- to 7-Way adapter such as # 37185.

  • Troubleshooting 7-way Trailer Connector on 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The existing turn signal/brake lamp circuits are already converted, so you shouldn't need an additional converter. I'd recommend checking the fuse box under the dash and in the engine compartment, and locating the right and left trailer turn signal/brake lamp fuses, to make sure they're installed and not blown. Replace as needed. I'd also closely examine the pins on the 7-way for corrosion. If you see any green or white corrosion on the pins, the corrosion could have spread inside the...

  • What is the Difference Between Max Carrying Capacity and Weight Distribution Capacity

The Gross Trailer Weight or GTW of this hitch is 5,000 lbs. and the Tongue Weight or TW of this hitch is 500 lbs. The GTW is how much weight the hitch can pull behind it and the tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer applies to the hitch of the tow vehicle. So the hitch...
