  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • Powered Converter
  • Tekonsha

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 points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes ModuLite power module that 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 behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the access cover and the tail light assemblies to access this harness.


T-One Connection Location Points Behind Tail Lights

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 beneath your vehicle. 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.


ModuLite Power Module

A ModuLite power module is built into this T-One connector. 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.

2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

I am not one to work on my vehicles, mostly because I find it to be of very little interest.” Unfortunately,” with the economy heading south and prices soaring “ AGAIN “, I found myself in a sqeeze.
I put on my big boys work wear nand attacked the installation of the wiring harness kit for My 2021 Wrangler 80th anniversary Jeep.
The directions were very easy to follow and before I knew it, I was wrapping it up. Start to finish in one hour and forty five minutes. Thank you etrailer



by:

Jeeps are notorious for electrical problems. This product isolates the automotive system from a trailers systems. Very good idea and I love it. My background is in aircraft electrical systems. I have worked in this field since 1977. This is a great product. I'll buy another if needed and I'll recommend it to others.

Wiring working excellent on my 23 Jeep Gladiator. Great company to deal with, you can't go wrong

2019 Jeep Wrangler

The harness came with great and simple instructions. I was easily to install it and it works great! Thanks for a great product and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to put a trailer harness on their vehicle.



by:

Exactly what we wanted, hitch was very easy to put on. Very quick arrival. We ordered a wrong harness snd customer service was very quick and courteous to help us get a return label.
Would highly recommend this company.



by:

Fairly easy to install as long as the vehicle is up on ramps or even better would be a lift. I used ramps and crawled the length of my jeep to run the wires to the front and secured them to the frame away from heat or pinch points.



by:

Was easy to install, compatible with the factory plugs on my Jeep Wrangler. Aftre 1 year of use it’s woking god.



by:

Great harness that installed easily following video instructions.



by:

Product works well with my 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. etrailer was great in helping to ensure that this product would actually work with my Jeep. Thank you!



by:

The wiring harness was made of high quality parts and very easy to install. It had all the hardware need to wire it in correctly.

2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited

I prefer to use this Tekonsha module for the vehicle that don`t have the factory tow harness. The module was tucked away in the body cavity behind the drivers side tail lamp assy. All wiring was covered in HD split loom. All wiring was concealed as much as possible by running them through the cross rail and frame rail up to the battery positive terminal. I did lengthen the green wire on the passenger side to accomplish this. All connections were done with heat shrink connectors. Installation did take longer than usual based on the wire routing I chose. Overall I am totally satisfied with this product.



by:

Perfect package - comes with everything you need and good instructions. I found a video on the etrailers site was more helpful than the printed ones.

2018 Jeep Wrangler

I've purchased a handful of trailer hitches/wiring harnesses over the past 10 years and they have always been awesome!! Quality products and fast shipping every time!! Just recieved a new class 111 hitch & wiring harness for my 2018 Wrangler JL and installed the hitch in less then 10 minutes and the wiring was approximately an hour after watching the video provided on their website. Never been disappointed!!



by:

Simple. Assembly received complete. Works well.



by:

This wiring kit was just what I needed to get trailer light connection on my 2021 Jeep. I have been very satisfied with all of my purchases from etrailer!



by:

very easy install thanks to the outstanding video. Adding this and an $80 -2 inch receiver was way cheaper than buying from the dealer. Since I had the taillights off, i threw in a fuel filler door at the same time.



by:

Had exactly what I needed to wire my Jeep up for trailer lights. Very quality wiring harness and easy to follow instructions. They ship very fast and keep you updated on where your package is. Highly recommend etrailer!!!

Customer service was excellent in getting exactly what we needed for first time installation. Thank you.

Good quality, easy to install, work gre at.

I contacted etrailer in advance of buying the items needed to add a trailer hitch to my 2021 Wrangler unlimited Sahara. I was assured everything would bolt right up and the wiring kit was made specifically for my new jeep. When I received my wiring kit, it was for a jeep with the battery on the opposite side of the vehicle. So the instructions were different and it was more of a chore routing the wires from the battery to the tail lights. Just barely had enough wire to reach the other side of the vehicle. I ended up having to hire a shop to facilitate the install and spent over $200 for the install due to the difference between the items, instructions, and my Jeep. I wouldn’t be so frustrated except I took the time to reach out to etrailer staff and I was assured there would no problems.

When it comes to routing the power wire to the battery you can route the wire over to the passenger side at the rear of the front, it does not matter and it will not have any affect on the install or the system. You will just want avoid places where the wire would be pinched or exposed to heat along the frame rail. We do have a FAQ that is helpful.

great products and service

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe
    The Tekonsha # 118786 is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. I've personally confirmed this with my contact in the Technical Services department at Tekonsha who tells me that the harness is a fit for ALL models of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler JL. I've linked to an installation video that you might find helpful.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
    The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler 4-cylinder is the Tekonsha kit part # 118786 that you referenced. This is a custom fit harness which means it will install easily and it comes with a very reliable converter box so it will last a long time too. I attached an install video for this kit on a 2018 JL just like yours for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Wiring For 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
    The Roadmaster Universal HyPower diode wiring kit part # RM-154 is different wiring than what you need for towing a trailer with the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. You will need a 4-pole flat wiring harness part # 118786 which will plug in behind the Jeep's tail lights. You will plug the trailer connector on the trailer into the 4-pole to power the lights. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

    For the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL that you have we have the Tekonsha 4-way kit part # 118786 which is a confirmed custom fit and would work well. This installs by plugging inline with the tailight harnesses of your Jeep as you can see in the install instructions I attached below.

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon
    Yes, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118786 will work on all 2018 Jeep JL Wranglers with factory LED and incandescent lights. This is actually an updated harness that was made to replace the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part 118782 that had issues with certain packages. There will be no issues whatsoever using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118786 on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon.

  • No Power to 7-Way On A 2018 Jeep Wrangler
    Then it is possible that your 2018 Jeep Wrangler is not equipped with a trailer tow package. I did take a look at the owner's manual for the Jeep and F37 is the correct fuse placement if the Jeep is equipped according to the manual. Did you just install the 7-Way plug? If so, you may need to have the towing functions activated at the dealership. This is a fairly common issue.

  • Estimated Installation Time for Tekonsha 118786 Trailer Wiring Harness on 2019 Jeep Wrangler
    Tekonsha doesn't list an estimated installation time for their trailer wiring harnesses like they do with their trailer hitches, but after looking through the install instructions and viewing the linked installation video, I'd estimate that the install should take a professional about an hour, and a fairly capable do-it-yourselfer about an hour and a half. I'll also link to a help article that addresses how to run the wire from the rear of the vehicle up to the battery.

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Sahara
    Yes, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118786 which replaced the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part 118782 is now compatible with Sahara and Rubicon editions of the 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring of Jeep Where Only 12 Volt Accessory Circuit Works
    Typically this problem is caused by corrosion or dirt on the trailer wiring pins. I'd first try cleaning all of the pins of the 7-way with sandpaper and make sure none of them are bent or damaged. Other place to check is fuses under the hood of the vehicle if the wiring is OEM. You can also check to make sure the wiring behind the connector isn't damaged. I attached a link to a page that covers trailer wiring troubleshooting for you to check out as well.

  • 4-Way For 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe With Flat Tow Wiring
    You can go from tow bar wiring to a 4-flat trailer connector on your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, as the two will simply plug in-line with one another, so no splicing is needed. So with your tow bar wiring all you need is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786.

  • How to Install a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler
    Yes, the installation of a trailer wiring harness will be different for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler MOAB when compared to a 2013 Jeep Wrangler MOAB but not by much. Instead of just plugging in one connector behind the driver side tail light you will need to plug in a connector behind the passenger side tail light as well, run a power wire to the Jeep's battery, and ground the harness to a bare metal surface. For the above, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer...

  • Troubleshooting No Running Lights After Installing Tekonsha Harness on 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
    There are a couple possible reasons as to why the running lights are not working after installing the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786 on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited. First, since this harness does require that a hot lead be run up to the vehicle's battery, I recommend making sure all the connections under the hood are secure. Since the Jeep's battery is what will actually be powering the harness, you will want to ensure that the black power wire from the T-Connector...

  • No Power to 7-Way on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
    Which pin are you testing on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL's 7-way? If it is the 12 volt power feed then you will need to check for a blown fuse. In the power distribution center (PDC) on your Jeep there will be a pink 30 amp fuse in the F37 slot that controls 12 volt power to the 7-way. If you are referring to the brake, stop/turn, or tail light pins then these will only show power while the circuit is active.

  • Wiring Harness for a 2022 Jeep Wrangler
    Yes, there is a wiring harness that does not require cutting or splicing wires available for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler.

  • Can Trailer Wiring be Run Under 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
    You can absolutely run the 12 volt hot lead of the T-One Wiring Harness # 118786 under your 2018 Jeep Wrangler so long as you can find a way to route it to your battery. In fact, the linked directions state this as an option, which you can see by the accompanying cut out.

  • Does Trailer Wiring for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Have to Run to Battery Post
    Not 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. For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL you need to install a harness that draws power from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. For that...

    For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport with LED taillights the Tekonsha kit part # 118786 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and will work great. This kit has the highest amperage rating which means it will be the most resilient to wiring shorts and overdraws, and installs very easily so it's overall the best choice.
