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.
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 flat connector will be stowed within the jack storage compartment of 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.

Wiring Harness works as it should and not too difficult to install.
by: Dean 06/11/2023
One year later - absolutely no issues with the wiring harness. I followed all of the instructions and things went well. During the install I ran into an issue of the long wire that was going to the battery , was a bit short (despite following the directions ), but a short splice of a compatible wire has fixed the issue. No issues with connecting to my trailer harness. I have always added a touch of dielectric paste to keep the connections good and water out. Proper length - no issues with reaching. Works every time, no glitches. Very satisfied with this product.
by: JMS09/05/2023
The product worked well and was easy to install. However, the power wire that runs to the battery is about 6" too short. I was able to make it work, but barely. I nearly needed to extend it. If it were 6-12" longer it would have worked so much better.
However the instructions were easy to follow and I greatly appreciate the videos from eTrailer.
by: Michael 07/07/2023
I installed this myself. Took me maybe two hours. Its been a while but I believe I found a youtube video for wiring my specific car and just followed the directions. It worked the first time I rented a trailer and still works now more than a year later.

Harness plugged right in, I had plenty of wire for the connection to the battery. I routed the trailer plug wire through the bumper support and slid it out the rear underbody panel.

2014 Toyota Sienna
This is a great product. The wiring was thick and didn't feel like a cheap Chinese product. I'm happy with this wiring harness. I installed it on my 2014 Toyota Sienna. Even though the instruction video is not updated for the 2014, the instructions it came with contained a picture of the shroud and where to cut, which was the only difference (shroud size, only one cut needed on the 2014) between the 2014 Siennas and the ones from prior years.
You'll see in the picture attached, I purchased the loom to protect the wire. I would recommend doing the same.
The only thing that would have made more sense to me is if the box attached to the drivers side since that is where the battery is. There would be a lot less wire to route under the vehicle. Other than that, it worked on my first try and I'm happy with that! :)

So far it has been just fine good quality hitch . so far i have only used it for a cargo carrier worked great .

Worked great for our 2016 Toyota Sienna SE -- straightforward install, especially if you've done anything like this before. E-trailer's video install demos make it a snap. A great value - happy to recommend it to others.
by: Scott 08/10/2023
Plenty of heavy gauge wire to complete installation.
Good instructions.
by: Eric 03/14/2023
The wiring harness was very easy to install. The hardest part was running the power wire up to the battery but I was able to find a safe path along the frame. The rest of the unit tucked nicely in the spare tire area and the wires run under the carpet so it's not seen day to day.
by: Jim B.03/27/2020
2013 Toyota Sienna
The hitch is solid/sturdy. It was easy to install. I use it frequently and have only had one consistent problem. Once attached to my 2013 Toyota Sienna, ground clearance is only 7 inches. See picture. Add the weight of my boat, and that clearance drops to 3 inches. I realize that most of that blame is owned by Toyota, but still, there's at lease another inch or so that could have been gained through improved design of the hitch. I had to add an Air Lift 1000 to bring it back to 7 inches clearance.

Horrible customer service! Next to comcast this is the most frustrating company I have ever had to deal with. They sent me the wrong part 2 times. I even contacted the manufacturer to confirm they were sending me the wrong part and etrailer still don’t seem to understand their error. I have communicated with no less than 8 different people and still don’t have the right part. I am sure they will want to charge me a classy “restocking fee” when I have been waiting on them for weeks. If anyone actually cared this would have been an easy fix. You are better off shopping elsewhere…

I am very sorry that we have not been able to provide the harness that will work for you. I wanted to let you know that there not would be a restocking fee charge for sending back the harness. You would receive a full credit for it.

The hitch fit perfectly, looks great on the van and the wire harness installed easily. One suggestion before installation is watch the videos here on etrailer.com and it makes your installation easier!

Its been great, already a year past and still working great.
by: Dan 07/09/2022
This plug and play kit is a BREEZE to install. So easy I did it while fairly inebriated (didn't drive to test it though). Since my boat trailer has LEDs, I spliced into the 10A/120W cigarette lighter socket that was close by the passenger tail light instead of running all of the way up to the battery. You'll need two Orange Cap wire nuts to do it my way and it only works in accessory mode instead of all of the time, but super easy. Entire kit except power supply was literally plug and play. Thank you etrailer for your responsive order process from section to review.

- Can the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness Draw Power from a Cargo Light on a 2012 Toyota SiennaThe 12 volt power wire with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118498 must be run to the battery while installed on your 2012 Toyota Sienna. It cannot be powered from any other existing circuit on the vehicle such as a cargo light because this would likely exceed the circuits amperage draw rating. It would also void the warranty of the wiring harness which is one year. If you need help routing the 12 volt power wire to the battery I have attached a help article on how to do so as well...
view full answer... - Does Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness for 2013 Toyota Sienna Come with Everything Needed to InstallThe T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118498 that you referenced comes with everything you'll need to install it. No additional items would need be needed to install. I attached an install video for this kit on a 2013 Toyota Sienna just like yours as well.
view full answer... - Why is Trailer Wiring that Draws from Vehicle Battery Better than Non-Powered KitThe benefit to a non-powered trailer wiring harness is that it's a bit easier to install since you don't have to run a wire up to the battery of the vehicle. The advantage to a powered kit is that it does a better job protecting the taillight circuits of your vehicle. Instead of drawing power for the trailer taillights from the vehicle taillights it only uses the vehicle taillights as signals and then draws all the power for the trailer taillights from the vehicle battery. In the long run...

It was only after 2015 did the wiring manufacturers have to come up with separate kits for the SE models and the non-SE models. I attached an install video for this wiring harness on a similar 2014 Toyota Sienna for you to check out as well.

It sounds like your salesman was trying to explain to you that your Toyota Sienna will not be wired from the factory for trailer wiring, but if you install this custom wiring kit for your Sienna you will be good to go.

view full answer... - Does the T1 Trailer Wiring Harness # 118498 Have to be Connected Directly to the BatteryThe T1 trailer connector, # 118489, was only tested when connected to the positive terminal of the battery. Connecting it anywhere else can void the warranty of the harness. There are other problems that could occur since the 12 volt power supply was not designed to power trailer lights. If there was a short in the trailer wiring, that could damage the electrical system of the vehicle. Having it connected to the battery isolates the vehicles sensitive electronics. I have included a link...
view full answer... - Does Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring 118498 Have to be Connected to FunctionNot all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. If you do not connect the power wire to the vehicle battery the trailer wiring harness # 118498 would not function at all.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Tow Ready T-1 Connector Part # 118498 for 2011 Sienna with LED Trailer LampsThe Tow Ready T-1 Connector with Modulite, part # 118498 is compatible with LED trailer lights. The LED lamps draw much less current than incandescent lamps, so you should have no worries. I will link you to the installation instructions, so that you can look them over.
view full answer... - Low Voltage Into Converter Box of T-One Wiring Harness 118498Thanks for all that info and since you are getting low voltage going into the converter box of the T-One Wiring Harness # 118498, my best guess is a finicky ground. If you grounded it via an existing screw, that needs to be connected to a clean metal surface - including no paint. If you did that ground methold I would also try using a new ground with the self-tapping screw provided instead of an existing screw, as that may help. I have also added a link below to a help article on 4-way...
view full answer... - Why Does 4-Pole Wiring Harness Need Direct Battery Power ConnectionYou do need to make a direct wired battery connection for a powered wiring harness like # 118498 because the small accessory 12V convenience outlets provided in vehicle do not have a high enough current rating to power the harness and all of the trailer lights. These handy outlets are great for things like charging a cell phone but they can't deliver the current needed to power trailer lights. The other concern is that were the plug-in connection to that outlet to come loose you would...

- Install Video Guide for Routing Power Wire of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness on 2014 Toyota SiennaWe've only ever installed the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118498 underneath the bottom of the vehicle since that's what the install instructions recommend. I attached an install video that would walk you through that entire process which really isn't too bad. It more or less comes down to just avoiding moving parts and hot components. I am sure running the wiring through the interior is possible but we don't have a way to really recommend that.

If you have a 2016 Toyota Sienna SE the the correct T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness is part # 118498. These are both plug-in play options that provide you with a standard four way flat which is the most common.

Its been a year already? Wow! Since I dont have a truck, I use my minivan and aluminum trailer frequently. I have no regrets buying this wire harness and would buy again.
