Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.


Tail light diagram

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 connector will be stowed in your trunk.


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.

I bought my Tekonsha 118686 trailer wiring kit shortly after I bought my 2017 Civic. I emailed the company about fitment before purchasing and they got back to me promptly and reassured my worries. (Curt only had a hack and splice kit at the time)
This kit is great, no need to splice wires into the factory wires, all plug and play, the only wire needed to crimp is the main power wire which attaches to the battery and sends power to the harness pack.
Most of the instillation was a breeze, I cut a slit into the grommets so the wires are nestled in nice with the factory taillight wires.
The only tricky part was running the power wire, I wanted it to be completely out of sight, so I tucked it auto conduit and hid it up in the wheel arches, and the ground effects.
I'm sure there could have been a faster route, but I'm a perfectionist.
The kit works flawlessly and I couldn't be happier !!!

etrailer.com is amazing. I don't know how they do it, but they simply are the best, knowledgeable staff, and competitive prices make this business a pleasure to deal with.
A+ in my book







by:

Great product ..I used this to add lights to the lower part of my civics rear bumper. I did not want to cut wires and the factory clips work great and the added benefit that I am isolating the power form the cars wireing system is great .

by:

the first wiring harness I got was the wrong one. It was for a coupe instead of a sedan. I went back and looked at my order. You really had to look close at rhe sight to see it was for a coupe. Called for a return authorization which was given with no problem. Had to pay for return shipping which was nearly three times as much than to ship it to me initially. Rachel was very helpful in making sure I got the proper harness. It installed easily and worked the first time. will order again should the need present itself.

Hi there
I received my order timely.
Finding an installation video that fit my needs took some time. Running the power wire under the car to the battery, I may need some help for that part of the installation.

Good fit, works well

The kit was easy to install. I dont understand why they went on every light to split them insted to split strait to the main harnest. You would not have to remove the lights to bring the wires inside.



by:

Awesome quality, extremely fast shipping and good directions



by:

The running lights power wire quit working after 3 months. Somewhere in the power module something broke or burned out. So I had to buy a whole new harness.

Everything you need all in one kit. Running the wires through the car's raceways is a pain in the butt, but that's the cars fault. End result is a professional install. Great product!

Never used it. Sold the car because of pandemic prices

  • Comparing The Curt # C92UR And Draw-Tite # 24954 Trailer Hitch Receivers For A 2020 Honda Civic
    Hey Ian, There's really not much of a difference between the Curt # C92UR and Draw-Tite # 24954 since they both have the same exact fitment and gloss finish. Personally, I prefer Curt's hitches because these are all shipped by the manufacturer on a pallet and can get dinged or scratched up being transported around and Curt's paint seems to hold up and not chip likely Draw-Tite's does. The Curt also has a lip on the end of the receiver tube so that you can use an anti-rattle device like...

  • Recommendation for Towing Dirt Bike with 2016 Honda Civic
    To tow a dirt bike with a 2016 Honda Civic, you will need to use a trailer because there isn't a hitch receiver and motorcycle carrier compatible with your vehicle. I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11604 as well as the Curt ball mount # C45521 and hitch ball # A-82. You will also need the pin and clip # F-4 and wiring harness # 118686. I've attached some videos to assist. If you need a trailer, I recommend the Detail K2 Mighty Multi...

    The Curt Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # C92UR referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Honda Accord if it is the sedan or hatchback, and it does not feature the center exhaust. This Class I hitch has a 1-1/4 inch opening and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. We do have some motorcycle carriers available, however they are all designed to fit into higher-rated, 2 inch hitch receivers. Most likely, the combined weight of a motorcycle carrier and motorcycle will...

    Currently, a class I receiver like the Curt # C11604 that is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and towing up to 2,000lbs is the only receiver available for your 2016 Honda Civic Sedan. There is not a receiver capable of supporting the weight of your Curt carrier fully loaded behind your Civic and this is most likely due to the structure under your Civic not being able to support the weight. The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 will fit the class I receiver for your Civic. You will only...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Honda Civic and Why Can It Only Carry 2 Bikes Max
    For your 2016 Honda Civic there are only Class I hitches available. And since they have lower capacities, you can only carry up to two bikes. If you try to carry more you will damage the vehicle most likely. I had a customer come back and try to carry 3 bikes on a Class I hitch and he said the frame of his vehicle was bending and cracking. The Curt part # C92UR is a confirmed fit for your Honda Civic. The stabilizer strap that you referred to is the # 18050. Curt requires it on some racks...

    You should be seeing 12V with different amps when testing the 4-Way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118686 on your 2018 Honda Civic. When it comes to amps we're looking for 7.5 amps for the tail lights and then 5 amps for the stop/turn circuits. What we usually find to be the problem with wiring is a bad ground. Check to make sure the ground is secured to a clean, bare-metal surface and that all of the other connections are in good order. If the power going into the black box is significantly...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness to Power Lighted Hitch Cover on a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan
    You certainly use hitch light # FHG72VR on your 2017 Honda Civic sedan with Curt trailer hitch. You can use the light by installing trailer wiring harness # 118686. Once installed the hitch light will plug into the harness 4-Way which will power it. It will help to make your Civic more visible in the fog. Distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the light housing is 2 inches minimum, 3 inches maximum (less if using the foam gasket).

This brand of wiring kit is the most reliable so it is hands down the best option. Now with Class I hitches like the Curt part # C92UR that you referenced you have to go with the ball mount the manufacturer recommends. So that means you'd need the # C45521 that you referenced.

  • Recommended 4 Pole Trailer Wiring for a 2019 Honda Civic
    Hey Joe, yes if you have the sedan you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118686 or if you have the coupe you can use # C56324. Both of these options are going to be plug and play and will plug into the vehicle harness which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. If you have the hatchback however, then you're going to need to use a universal harness # 119147KIT which will get spliced into your OEM wiring.
