Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection point in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Includes ModuLite to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
    • Powered module connects directly to battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system
  • Constructed of 16-gauge bonded wire
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 5 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the rear interior trim panel on the driver's side of the rear cargo area. You will need to remove access panels, threshold, trunk floor panels, and trays to access the harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, pull back the interior trim panel on the driver's side and locate the ground stud. Loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud and re-tighten the bolt.


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 product had all the necessary instructions and parts to make the installation very easy. The harness is very simple to use.

All parts arrived in a speedy manner and in great condition! Big thank you to Brent J for all his hard work and extremely fantastic customer service!! Easy to follow install videos for tow hitch and electrical components. Thanks etrailer Team!!



by:

Solid product. Very clear and accurate installation instructions customized exactly to my specific vehicle year and model.

Easy install. Bought this with the Curt Class III hitch. All components match up and install without a struggle. The Tekonskha Custom Fit harness incorporates turn signals, running lights and brake lights.

Very easy installation, I followed the video online and got it down very quickly.
Great instructions and installation!

It’s been a year already?!, time flies and it works great! Doing some remodeling and had to hook up my old harbor freight trailer to haul the deconstructed 10x20 shed to the dump. Wiring was fine!



by:

Best experience I have ever had buying car parts! Sales person (Melissa) was competent Delivery was 2 days (a day ahead of schedule), instructional videos were concise and clear. Trailer hitch and harness were well made and fit perfectly. Installed cost was less that a fourth of OEM quote.



by:
2020 Subaru Ascent

This harness was super easy to install and run down through the grommet to the hitch for easy access. I ended up adding some plastic wire loom for protection under the car but was highly satisfied with all of the components in the kit. Watch the video clip for some tips and order with confidence!

This worked well on my 2020 Subaru Ascent. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to there not being a clamp or something to hold the final cable in place. It isn’t a big deal, you can tuck it into the bumper and that seems to be fine but would have liked a better setup there. Overall great harness and pretty easy to install.

Beau

Been great over the past year. Used it on a few different trailers and uhauls. No issue and the harness hasn’t fallen out so no issue there



by:
2021 Subaru Ascent

Received my order in a timely manner. Very pleased with the hitch and wiring. Installation went smooth due in part to excellent videos.



by:
2019 Subaru Ascent

Super simple to install, and the video was very specific to my vehicle.

I purchased this for my 2019 Subaru Ascent along with a Drawtite hitch 76253 and a brake controller with a dash mounted control knob so that the actual controller is hidden near the steering wheel shaft hidden under the dash. All three items were installed and we enjoyed a great summer of RV trailer camping in the summer of 2019.

I had an RV service professional install it because I am too claustrophobic under my Ascent and I am very happy that it is hidden behind with only the control button visible and it works great!



by:

Etrailer had what I needed a good price and came a day earlier

Works perfectly. Easy install.

Benjamin

No problems, no regrets!



by:

I’m very pleased with the wiring harness and tow bar. Both were very easy to install. It only took about 3 hours and no cutting or drilling was needed. I’d buy again



by:
2021 Subaru Ascent

Very simple to install. Instead of letting the wire hang out out of trunk when using like the install video showed I tucked it under the trim and behind the bumper before I put the bumper back on after installing the hitch



by:

Super easy to install.

Allyson

Continues to work great. Really happy with this purchase.



by:
2022 Subaru Ascent

The product works without issue and was easy to install. The reason for 4 stars versus 5 stars is simply the fact it just hangs out your tailgate. There was no mounting options to run it out of sight.



by:

Great product. Works perfect and was very easy to install and disappears when not in use.



by:

Just what I needed!!



by:

Arrived quickly with my hitch and, after watching the video (A must!), it installed very easily and quickly with no surprises! This can easily be installed with just the tool needed for attaching the ground wire.

Travis P.

Great! Required some voltmeter testing to match the right wire to the right harness wire though.



by:

No complaints, easy to install.



by:

Very easy to install. The only difficulty is actually getting to the place where the harness is to be placed. Instructions are easy to follow and, with a little care, the system can be installed with no issues.

Bruce

Still working very well.

I ordered this item along with the trailer hitch and a bracket. The item was packaged great and arrived in timely fashion. The company was fantastic to work with and service was outstanding.

Finally, the online tutorials on the etrailer website made putting these items in place easy.

I am 150% satisfied with everything this company has done!

2020 Subaru Ascent

I have been using etrailer.com for several years on multiple vehicle hitch and wiring projects and I have always been very pleased with the product and my experience. This time was no different. I needed to install a hitch and wiring harness for a 2020 Subaru Ascent. The parts that were matched with my vehicle online fit perfectly. The instructional videos that accompany every part are outstanding. Each step is clearly explained and easy to follow. Once again, etrailer.com delivered exceptional service, prices, parts, delivery, and everything else I needed to complete my hitch and wiring project in just a few hours. I highly recommend etrailer.com and I will continue to be a customer for several decades to come.

  • Trailer Connector/Wiring Harness for 2021 Subaru Ascent
    The correct wiring harness needed will depend on the type of trailer you're wanting to pull. If you're pulling something basic like a small utility trailer and only need a 4 pole trailer connector, the # 118790 would be what you need. However, if your trailer has a 7-way trailer connector, you'll need the # 118290.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Subaru Ascent Premium
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR for your 2022 Subaru Ascent Premium. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and is completely hidden when the center bumper cover is attached. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs, tongue weight of 750 lbs, and is compatible with weight distribution. It features a rugged, matte black finish for rust and corrosion protection and is made in the USA. If you plan on doing some towing and need wiring, you will also want the...

    For your 2022 Subaru Ascent, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR is a confirmed fit. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver. It also has a nice matte black finish. The 2" receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118790 and...

  • Recommended Hitch For Carrying Bike Rack on 2020 Subaru Ascent
    I'd recommend going with a concealed option like the # 76253 from Draw-Tite. When the hitch isn't needed, it'll be completely concealed behind the center panel in the rear bumper cover. Many folks don't care for the appearance of a trailer hitch such as the Curt # C13400 which will be fully visible below the rear bumper. If there's a chance you might use the hitch for towing purposes some time in the future, you'd need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring...

  • Does Draw Tite Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Ascent Have Capacity for Towing
    I certainly understand the concerns you mentioned for the Draw Tite hitch # 76253 which fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent but Draw Tite rigorously tested the capacity of this hitch and found it has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. Draw Tite is normally very conservative with their capacity figures as well and tends to err on the side of caution always in this regard.

  • 2019 Subaru Ascent 4-Way and Brake Controller Install Kit
    Your 2019 Subaru Ascent should have came with a 7-way installed at the rear of it if it came with the factory towing package. Since you are having a hitch installed currently and looking at wiring you most likely do not have the towing package and would need to install the correct wiring. You have to start with a 4-way for this like the # 118790 as this will be the base for the 7-way conversion needed to install and use the brake controller.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver That Will Fit Behind Factory Bumper Cover On a 2022 Subaru Ascent
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR will fit behind the bumper cover on your 2022 Subaru Ascent. You will also be able to fit either the Tekonsha 4-Way # 118790 or Tekonsha 7-Way # 118290 behind the same panel. You will need the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 to secure the 4-way harness or the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # PK12711U to secure the 7-way connector.

    Definitely glad to hear the EcoHitch # 306-X7381 install went well. This is one of the more difficult installs, so if you were comfortable doing that, installing a brake controller like the Redarc # RED44FR should be pretty straight forward. To start this process, you will need a 4 Flat wiring harness, like the Tekonsha # 118790. This will supply the power needed for the running lights, tail lights, and blinkers.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation and Install for 2020 Subaru Ascent

The display of the P3 is much more intuitive and user-friendly. However, some folks absolutely hate the appearance of a typical brake controller and want it to be as hidden as possible.

    The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR can definitely be installed on your 2021 Subaru Ascent, but how it hooks up to your vehicle will depend on how it came wired from the manufacturer. If you have the factory tow package, the install will be quick and easy. The Tekonsha Harness # 3062-P will allow you to plug directly into a port under the dash, and the # 331-TPH-017 will then adapt that harness to attach directly to the # RED44FR controller.

In either case you will be limited to the lower rating between the vehicle and the trailer hitch receiver, in this case the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76253 you were looking at.

That said, the tongue weight will not come into play when you are using your bike rack and it is unlikely to be a factor for a tent trailer.

    There are some slight differences between the Draw-Tite # 76253 and the Curt # C25VR, but it's mostly down to the quality of the powder coat on the two hitches. The powder coating on the Curt hitches is traditionally applied a bit thicker and is a better quality, in my opinion. This is going to translate to less dings and scratches and generally means that the hitch is going to be less susceptible to corrosion over the long term, so I do recommend going with the Curt # C25VR hitch for your...
