Question:

I have a 2005 Chrysler T and C. I am likely going to purchase your T-one product for connecting a 4 pole wiring end and will then be connecting your ETBC7 Brake Controller Wiring to go along with a Brake Controller. In every video I have watched of the ETBC7 installation, the 4 pole connecter is already under the vehicle close to the hitch receiver. Do you have a video showing installation of the 4 pole wiring going below the vehicle? If not, do you have specific instructions for connecting the ETBC7 to the 4 pole already installed in the jack storage compartment of the 2005 T and C? This will be very important to me as I already have another 2005 Chrysler T and C with the 4 pole in the compartment and I would likely do this one as well. Thanks!

Since you plan on installing an Brake Controller Installation Kit # ETBC7 in your 2005 Chrysler Town and Country you will need to find a way to route the 4-way of the Plug-N-Tow Wiring Harness # 42235 out to the underside of the vehicle. So that it can be plugged into the 7-way permanently. You would not want the 4-way routed through the back door all the time.

To find a way to get the 4-way out to the outside of the vehicle I would recommend you pull up the carpet or paneling in the rear hatch area to see if you can find a grommet that would allow you to push the 4-way through. Since we have not had a chance to install a brake controller in this vehicle I can not tell you exactly how you will go about this process.

I attached installation instructions for the # ETBC7 and an install video for you to check out.
