Installation
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located along the frame rail at the rear of your vehicle. The exact location of the port will vary depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. Once you've plugged in the connectors, insert the included fuse into the in-line fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
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.
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.

Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.Plug & play for 2020 Kia Sorento. Dinged a star because the trailer connector does not fit the extra bracket well. It does not appear to have been designed for a bracket mount. I had to force fit and secure in place with a zip tie.
Ken - 01/13/2022Purchased this for our 2016 Kia Sorento So we could tow a pop-up camper. Installed easily to factory tow package wiring while following etrailer instructions and videos. Eventually added ETBC7L to convert it from 4-way to 7-way electrical.
The Wiring Harness was perfect. It made the electrical portion of installing a trailer hitch easy. It worked as advertised and the instructions were clear and easy to follow.
I received my hitch but did not get the wiring harness that I ordered for my vehicle. The box had a hole in it so its probably a shipping issue and not a etrailer issue. I have been in contact with Hannah at etrailer and she has another wiring harness otw. Great customer relations and good company to purchase from.
The package arrived on time and with all the parts included. I have installed the harness and tested OK.
The only thing that would improve my experience would be to have installation video for Hyundai Santa Fe XL, which is quite different than installation on Santa Fe Sport shown in your video.
This would be great if my car had a tow package installed. I had no way of knowing until I removed a panel under the vehicle. I believe this should have explained better when I ordered this part. I also think the cost of returning this part is excessive
Sierra K - 05/03/2022I honestly never used it. The place that installed the trailer hitch wasn't supposed to install the harness and did so the one I bought from you never got used.
Great experience from start to finish. Quick delivery. Perfect fit and easy to install within 30 minutes. Routing the wire harness was a bit challenging but it also was a perfect fit. I only have one picture but you can't see the hitch since it is behind the center panel which is exactly what I wanted.
Brad O - 07/23/2015I recently bought the Curt receiver (p/n C13153) and Tekonsha 4-pin harness (p/n 118269) for use on our new 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate. We use the hitch to tow a small utility trailer occasionally, and more often use it with a hitch-mounted bike rack. I also ordered a mounting bracket kit and companion adapter plate since I had hoped to have the 4-pin connector mounted to the hitch (v. just zip-tied, etc). For installation of the receiver I dropped the spare tire since it is easy and helps for maneuvering the receiver into place. I did not lower the exhaust. I cleaned the tapped holes in the frame with a spray lube and wire brush prior to mounting, and I think this is a necessary step since a couple of the holes were pretty gunked-up. I checked by running the M10 screws in prior to putting the hitch in place, which I also recommend. I did not have a 2nd person available to help put the receiver in place to install but I had success using a floor jack and a piece of 2x6 to lift the receiver into place and start all the screws. It took a little patience to maneuver past the exhaust but really the fitment of the hitch is very good and it wasn't a bad struggle. A helper is probably the best way to go. As others have said, the videos provided by etrailer.com are really helpful. I finished the hitch installation by torqueing the screws and installing and torqueing the carriage bolts. It is a bit of a job (at least for me) to get the proper torque for the carriage bolts when laying on my back like that, but the overall connection seems super-secure. The spare tire did not interfere with the receiver after installation, though as you'd expect the clearance is small. After the receiver was done I installed the wiring harness. Once again, the video was really helpful and everything went quite smoothly. I found I needed to supply a few of my own zip-ties to secure the wiring to both the hitch and the factory wiring bundle since the provided ones were too short. After this I attempted to mount the 4-pin mounting plate to the hitch but I could not find an orientation that I was happy with and which would not interfere with the removable trim cover for the hitch. On the other hand, I found I was satisfied with leaving the 4-pin connector hooked to the check-chain hole in the receiver, so that is how I will leave it. After finishing the installation I hooked up our trailer. I found that there is a good amount of space in the check-chain openings, at least for our trailer, and the wiring connection (trailer lights) worked perfectly. When I went to install our bike rack I was a little concerned about the space around the hitch hole for the head of the bolt, but when I installed the hitch and anti-rattle bolt the fit was fine. Overall I'm quite happy with the hitch and wiring harness and I'm looking forward to many years of use. As always, etrailer.com was great to deal with and I would always recommend them to anyone looking for towing equipment and accessories.
Received my Curt custom hitch and wiring harness and had it installed in a hour. There was no need to drop the exhust, I just had to bend the bumper alignment pins down a little and lower the spare tire. The wiring harness was plug and use, so it just required zip ties to keep the wires up and off the exhust. I love the look and fitment very much. If I had anything negative to say. It would be that I wished the 4 pin wiring plug had a bracket to hold it instead of zip ties or just letting it hang. Which I will be buying one and installing it as well. But overall pretty happy with my purchase. Thanks
I was very happy with etrailer.com The items were delivered in 3 days. The wire harness was an easy plug and play. And mounted nicely to the hitch wit items the short mounting bracket and 4-Pole mounting bracket.
The install for this was quick and easy and the connection makes it super easy to use. My only complaint is that it has to go over an exhaust pipe on my vehicle and there's no heat shielding provided. You can probably get away with not using any, but I live in the south and didn't want to take any chances. I ended up ordering some separately to protect the portion of the wire that goes over the exhaust.
My order was here as scheduled. Installed it next day after watching E trailer's video. Went very smoothly. Very pleased with shipping and quality of item,
The wiring harness fit perfectly and has worked flawlessly. We have used it pulling our boat in conjunction with the hitch unit we purchased from you. The quality of everything we have purchased is five star and we have recommended etrailer to friends looking for a hitch and related parts.
Receive item one day ahead of schedule. A little confusing with the type of vehicle indicate on the packaging.With that being said the item number was the same as I ordered and all went well.Second time ordering with this company and happy with the item and the price.
The wiring kit /harness could not have been easier to install, less than 1 hour.
3 local shops wanted $600 + to install , Crazy.
JAMES - 10/01/2021Perfect fit and wiring was easy, with clear instructional videos. Purchased 1 year ago and have had zero problems—would highly recommend this product, and etrailer.com!
Easy plug in and zip tie in 2 or 3 spots and run the other end above hitch.
Every time I order something, it is perfect and as described. I only ordered by phone once, and the guy was real helpful regarding a surge brake. All other orders were on line. The videos provided with your products are very helpful.
Installation was a little harder than first thought but got it done and product seems very sturdy
Item received with no package damage. Kit was complete with easy to follow instructions. The complete installation took less than 1 hour. Nice product.
The T-one wiring connector doesn't fit my 11/2014 KIA Sorento w/o factory tow
part number 118269
Brooke M - 06/10/2022I have never installed a hitch before. I watched two short videos and in 1 1/5 hours my hitch and wire harness were installed. Great products and videos. Very happy.
Plug and Play on my 2014 Kia Sorento. Plugs right in to the factory pre-wired harness plugs located under a cover behind the left rear wheel. Mounted the electronic box underneath also with a little silicon adhesive on the back. Easy install. Cable tied the rest of the wiring in the bundle as you can see.
Fast easy ordering and shipping as always. It's nice to click on the link in the email they send and go right to the tracking page with the map that shows progress and the details as well. Some sites make you log in again for the same information. Not a big deal, but as you know it's the summation of all the little things done well that make for a good purchase experience.
Fit well. Installation was straightforward and per the instructions provided.
