Installation
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 the cargo door and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed in your rear cargo area.
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.

The package shipment was very efficient and the contents were exactly as described. The instructions provided were precise for my vehicle and easy to follow, and installation went perfectly. Initially my car dealer advised against wiring up a hitch on my KIA Niro for a light trailer, but when I showed them the photos and description of the custom etrailer harness, they were impressed and approved installation. Everything works just as hoped for to hook up my new kayak trailer. Thanks etrailer for a great product!

This was very easy to install, and works perfectly. I installed mine on the PHEV model, and it was much easier than the standard model since the 12V battery is actually in the back next to the passenger side blinker, so I was able to run the power wire beside the right blinker wire, and never had to run a wire to the front. The whole installation took me less than an hour, and I have no experience.

The hitch and wiring harness seem like great quality. I did not install and have sold my Kia Niro. Mow I have to sell my brand new hitch and wiring harness.

I followed the video and proceeded with install on the 17 Nero. I was worried it would be too much for me. Not an issue… all work I did was on my back without jacking up the car. Total job literally took me an hour sand a half. Instructions were ample and precise. It was a great buy

Even though this item isn't supposed to be compatible with the PHEV Niro, it does actually work with it. In fact, installation is a little easier than with the regular hybrid because you can bolt the power cord to the 12v battery in the luggage compartment instead of running it up to the front. If you're a little handy you can figure it out but other than that one bit the installation video is the same for the PHEV. I use this with the Curt 2-inch hitch for the Niro, which I had to modify slightly to fit the PHEV (had to take out a small notch on one flange with an angle grinder in order to clear a bit of frame support that I guess the regular hybrid doesn't have). As always, etrailer is a great company to work with.
by: David01/06/2021
Install Video online was spot on. After plugging in via flat 4 to 7 pin adapter it did not work. Wife turned off her car and restarted and it then started working. I added a wireless camera to the license plate bracket tapped the running lights and all is good ATT . I can recommend it but took 1 star off for the false start. Whether it was a connector issue or controller needed rebooted is unknown but I do have lights working on my camper and the camera is great since the Pup blocks sight lines of cars behind (wider/higher than my wife's Niro's mirrors ). Not now clear view behind trailer.

See what our Experts say about this Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Could Power Wire for Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Run to Rear Battery of 2019 Kia Niro PHEVNot all models of the 2019 Kia Niro have an auxiliary battery at the rear of them which is why a power wire wasn't ran to it when installing the part # 118749. If you have a PHEV which has the second battery you could do this.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring that Fits 2021 Kia Niro EVYes, the Tekonsha trailer wiring kit part # 118749 is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Kia Niro EV and would work great. This is the easiest to install and most reliable kit available. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Wiring for 2019 Kia Niro be Used as Tow Bar Wiring in ReverseWe have tow bar wiring solutions that will work great on your 2019 Kia Niro but trailer wiring does not work in reverse so you wouldn't be able to use the kit you mentioned. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front...
view full answer... - Trailer Connector Testes Fine But Trailer Lights Dont WorkIf you've used a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the pins of the 4-pole trailer connector provided by the # 118749, then the wiring problem exists on the trailer. In order for none of the functions to work, you probably have a bad ground connection. The ground wire from the trailer connector will typically ground to the trailer tongue. Make sure this connection is secure and made to clean, non-rusted metal. If not, sand the grounding point down to bare metal and install a star washer between...
