Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2001 BMW X5
Today on this 2001 BMW X5 we are going to install part number 119190. We are also going to use part number 118151 and that is going to be the install kit. The first step is to get inside the vehicle because that is where the wiring harness is and basically what we are going to do next is remove the interior panel before we can get to the wiring itself. We are going to take out the two side panels. The first thing we are going to do is find a wire harness that actually goes directly into the tail light and there is a socket that goes into it so disconnect that, there is a little tab right in the middle. 00:35
The first thing we will do is test for the functions of the wire. We are going to do one circuit at a time. First off we will start with the running light circuit and we are going to test on the inside of the plug and we will see which color does what. It looks like it is going to be the gray and purple wire so we are going to take our running light wire from the modulite which will be brown and we are going to connect that to the wire. We will be using the quick splice to do that with and that will be part number 564. 01:05
We will move on to the next circuit. The left turn looks like a green and blue wire so the left turn for the module is going to be yellow and we will hook it up the same way we did before. Next we will look for the stop light wire. Off, on, off. It looks like the brake signal is going to be brown and black. Our stop light wire on the module is going to be red. Reinstall the wire harness back into the tail light and take the white wire and ground it to the body. Use a ring terminal to do that with. Next we will deal with the green wire and that is going to go to the right turn signal so take the green wire and route it over to the right side of the vehicle along the factory wire harness. We are looking at the passenger side and disconnect the tail light harness. Just like before we will test for the right turn signal. The right turn looks like the blue and brown wire. We can reinstall the wiring back into the tail light. Back over on the driver side of the vehicle we will hook up the black wire coming out of the modulite and basically we are going to take our wire from the 118151 kit and we are going to connect the two together and the black wire is going to be ran to the battery. Leave that wire alone for now and lets mount our module up somewhere inside the vehicle. There is a nice spot right here and they do not come with the kit but we will use a couple of cheap ones just to hold everything in place. 02:59
To get access to the battery we are going to have to remove the spare tire. Take this and roll it off to the side and now we have access to the battery. What we will do now is take the black power wire to see how much length we need to go down to the battery. We did not use much but we will cut off our excess and we will follow this a little bit like the green wire, that will be about right, and on the end of the black wire we will install the fuse holder. In one side we will add the ring terminal and the other side we will add the butt connector. Add this to the black wire and now take the ring terminal and we are going to add this to the positive side of the battery. Sneak the lead underneath the structure right here however I think we will put a notch right next to the plastic case because we will run the wires straight out that way we have easy access to the fuse if you ever change it. Now we are going to install the 15 amp fuse 118151 kit comes with a 10 amp fuse and that will be replaced with by this 15. We will take come zip ties now and zip tie the wires safe and out of the way. At this point we can reassemble the interior of the vehicle. To use the wire harness pull a little bit of it out and shut the door on it because the seal is thick enough where it will not hurt anything when you shut the lid. Just to make sure you stay away from the latch, pull out what you need to go out to your hitch. With that that will finish our install of part number 119190 and part number 118151.

This kit provides the wire to be run to the vehicle battery to power the lights on the trailer. Works will all ModuLite wiring harnesses and includes all of the connectors necessary to complete the installation of the ModuLite wiring harness.by: David 09/29/2022
I installed the trailer wiring connector in about an hour and a half and it has worked well. I store the coil of the pig tail coiled in the tire inflation pump, floor compartment, until needed. I used it in my 2021 Ford Ecosport that I also installed a receiver hitch under. Easy to install and much, much cheaper than having the dealership install their version.
by: Young Dave06/17/2018
Twenty feet of wire wasn't quite enough to make the entire run from the ModuLite to the battery in my 2000 Ford Econoline Van. It could have used another butt connector to attach the wire to the Modulite. These were very small problems as I had other wire and a connector on hand to complete the installation. Four stars for the product.
Five stars for etrailer's website and expert advice online in the form of videos, descriptions for installation, and Q&A section!
Thanks a lot!

Having just bought a new Kia Soul with LED tail lights, I needed to be certain to get the correct products to properly wire my vehicle without damaging the electrical system. Local installers in my hometown were going to simply tap into the rear tail light wiring and go straight to the trailer lights.
Thanks to you guys and your helpful videos, you advised me to use the #118151 Modulite Installation Wiring Kit in conjunction with with the #119176 Wiring Harness. By doing so, the power wire to operate the trailer lights comes directly from my vehicle battery, and alleviates and/or prevents possible damage to the tail light system of my car.
I advise anyone to get in touch with the "EXPERTS" at etrailer.com for excellent advice and superior products to get the job done!!!!
Thanks,

Purchased this along with the Modulite 3wire / 2wire converter, it worked like a charm!!! Thanks for all your guidance in figuring out what we needed to get our new trailer with combined stop & turn lights to work with our new truck that had separate brake & turn signals.

- Installation of Auxillary Trailer Lighting On a 16 Foot Landscape Trailer, Behind a 2006 Ford F-150If you have installed a separate battery for the LED lights that you installed then you will need to use a inline fuse to protect the LED lights and battery from shorting out. I would recommend the Modulite Installation Wiring Kit, item # 118151, which has the inline fuse needed and wire for wiring the power to the lights. You will need to ground the trailer battery to the trailer frame and the lights can then be grounded to the trailer frame. I would use a 6 gauge or larger wire and...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting the 12 Volt Power Circuit of a Factory 7-Way Connector on a 2009 Chevy SilveradoIt sounds like there is an issue with the battery charge wire circuit that connects to the fuse block under the hood of your 2009 Chevy Silverado. I attached a link below to a page that shows how these connections are made. It is also possible that the fuse is blown on this circuit too, you should check your vehicle owners manual to determine which fuses pertain to the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle.

The red wire has a ring terminal and goes to the closest positive post in the power distribution box with a 30 amp fuse installed in the fuse location nearest the positive post, for power to the brake controller. The blue wire has a plug on it that you will need to remove. You will need to run a length of Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, #...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Doesnt work With Brake Pedal of 2003 GMC 2500HD SierraThis is a super common problem for GM trucks around the age of your 2003 GMC 2500HD Sierra. Check the third brake light fuse of the truck. This fuse blows very easily in your truck and when that circuit is dead it takes out the circuit needed to activate a brake controller with the brake pedal. An easy way to check this is to press the brake pedal and see if the brake light above the truck bed activates. If so, then this is the problem.
view full answer... - Activating Power to a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500You are correct, there are some connections that will need to be made under the hood of your 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 in order to make the brake controller and possibly the 7-Way trailer connector fully functional. We actually have a detailed FAQ article covering the connections that need to be made. I have included a link to the article for you to view. You will want to look at Step 2 - Under the Hood. Basically, you will remove the top cover of the power distribution box, the closest...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Stoplight Circuit Not Active on 2000 Chevy SilveradoCheck the third brake light fuse of your truck. Any time we see this issue on a GM truck with a similar year as your 2000 Silverado the problem is a blown third brake light fuse. Typically this is labeled as CHMSL.

view full answer... - How to Wire up Trailer with Separate Turn Signals from Stoplights to Work With Vehicle with 4-WayDoes your trailer have brake lights that are separate from the turn signals? If so you would need the converter part # RM-732 to split the signal up and allow your taillights to function properly. This would install on the trailer's wiring.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Mercedes C230The only trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2006 Mercedes C230 is the ZCI harness # 119250KIT with installation kit # 118151. This harness does not require splicing into the vehicle wiring so your vehicle's sensitive wiring and electrical system will be protected. There isn't a plug and play type of harness for this vehicle so the ZCI harness is your best option.

LEDs are super-efficient and require very little power, yet they provide fairly bright light output. You can wire this in as a replacement or simply add it to your existing lighting set-up. The waterproof A70380 includes an adhesive backing for easy press-on installation wherever you need the light. It also has a power switch....

This harness provides a maximum 16 amps for the tail light and 4.2 amps per stop and turn signal circuit. This harness installs on the truck and you will use the tail light wires from the factory 7-way to connect to the input wires on the harness. Then run the out put wires to the tail light wires on your 7-way. There's also an optional installation...
view full answer... - No Power to Trailer Brakes with Brake Pedal on a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HDI believe I know what is going on with your brake controller on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. But first a note on brake controllers. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific. Some trucks do have an option to plug a brake controller in directly and the harnesses used are vehicle specific. But the brake controllers themselves are not. Your 2006 Chevy Silverado is a model that can have a brake controller plugged directly into it. I do not know which brand brake controller it is that...

- Trailer Brake Controller Does Not Work with Brake Pedal on a 2001 Chevy SilveradoWhen a brake controller works with the manual override but not with the brake pedal that indicates an issue on the red wire. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the red wire. It should show power when you step on the brake pedal. If it does not, then the first thing I would check is the position of the red wire in the connector that plugs into the truck. It should be positioned like in the picture I have provided. If it is in another location, then move it to the proper location. If...

- Replacement for Upgraded ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness Part 119179I do have an option for you but the Upgraded ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part 119179 has since been discontinued. It was replaced with the Upgraded Modulite Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119147 which for all intents and purposes, is the exact same. If you need another install kit, we have this available as well, the ModuLite Installation Wiring Kit part # 118151.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for 2016 BMW X1I recommend the ZCI wiring harness # 119250KIT for your 2016 BMW X1. This universal harness will not require you to splice into your wiring like other kits will. What's really neat about this harness is the Zero-contact interface sensors identify the current flowing through each wire. I have linked the instructions for the ZCI to this page for your convenience, because this is not a custom fit application they will not be specific to your 2016 model but they will help walk you through...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller not Working on 2006 GMC SierraThere are a number of troubleshooting steps you can undertake in order to try and determine what the issue is with the brake controller on your 2006 GMC Sierra To test the brake controller itself, sever the blue wire a couple inches from the back of your controller. Then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2979 to test the end of the blue wire coming out of the controller. It should only have power when you apply the manual override; if it shows power at idle then there is an issue with...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Only Works with Override LeverIs the brake controller a proportional brake controller? If so, then it is working fine and you should try testing it with a trailer. A proportional controller has to sense deceleration for it to activate trailer with the brake pedal. If it is a time-delayed controller it sounds like the brake controller itself isn't working properly based on what you described. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller On 2001 Ford ExpeditionIt sounds like you are having problems with the brake controller on your Expedition. You will want to check your owner's manual and locate all the fuses and relays labeled for Trailer Tow, and make sure they are all installed. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and have someone use the manual override on the brake controller in the vehicle to make sure you have power to the pin on the vehicle 7-way. If you are using wiring harness, make sure that extra white ground wire...

The box is located under the hood and on the inside of the drivers side fender. Remove the cover, and locate the two auxiliary power posts on the inboard side of the box. The post closest to the rear of the vehicle should have a red wire attached to it. Next to this post in the fuse box there should be a green 30 amp fuse installed. If the fuse is not installed or is blown, or this red wire is not...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting No Power to Blue Wire When Brake is Applied on the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic Not to worry, this is a common issue and I will be happy to help you get the blue wire working. The blue wire is the output wire from the brake controller. It is only activated when the brakes are pressed or the manual override is activated. There has to be constant power on the black wire and on the red wire when the brake pedal is pressed for the blue wire to function properly. If you are using a proportional brake controller like # 90195 and are only testing the blue wire with the...
view full answer... - Can the Access LED Truck Bed Lighting Kit Be Wired Directly to the Truck BatteryIn order to install the Access LED Truck Bed Lighting Kit, # A70380, so that it can be turned on without the key in the vehicle on, you can just wire it to the battery and use the switch that is already included with the light kit. I recommend have the power wire run through wiring kit # 118151 which includes an in line 10 amp fuse.
view full answer... - Is the Power Wire Needed for Custom Wiring on a 2011 Kia Sorento and is there a 5-Flat AdapterThe wiring harness for your 2011 Kia Sorento is the Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118506, and it includes the power wire you've asked about. It is necessary to install the power wire because the converter requires power directly from the battery in order to distribute that power to the harness and protect your vehicles sensitive wiring. This harness can be used with an adapter for your 5-flat trailer connector. You will need the Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, #...

Let me know if any of the suggestions that I make sound like they will work or if you have already checked the suggestions I make here. When you checked the output at the 4-Way connector was the trailer hooked up? If so unhook the trailer and recheck the voltage. If you have twelve volts at the green and yellow connections on the 4-Way harness without the trailer connected then the problem is most likely a ground issue on the trailer side. Check all of...
view full answer... - Is there a Constant Draw on the Vehicle Battery when the Modulite Wiring Harness is InstalledThe modulite converter only applies power from the vehicle battery when the turn signals, brake lights, or tail lights are activated. When there is not a current draw on any of these lighting circuits the power from the vehicle battery is shut off at the Modulite converter, which avoids battery drain. Hooking the power source to an ignition source is not recommended because the Modulite is essentially bypassing the vehicles sensitive wiring system. Vehicles today are using such thin wiring...
