Tekonsha 118270 ModuLite HD Wiring Harness, Traverse
Tekonsha 118270 ModuLite HD Wiring Harness, Traverse — Product description
The Tekonsha 118270 gives your 2013-2014 Chevrolet Traverse a clean 4-way flat trailer connector with built-in circuit protection. The ModuLite HD module handles the trailer lighting load and keeps that extra draw off your Traverse's factory wiring. It's a direct replacement for the OEM tow harness, ready for running lights, brake lights, and turn signals.
If you tow a small utility trailer, a boat trailer, or a pair of bikes behind your 2013-2014 Chevrolet Traverse, this Tekonsha 118270 is the wiring you want. It's a 4-way flat replacement for the OEM tow harness, and it comes with Tekonsha's circuit-protected ModuLite HD module built in. That means you get a proper trailer connector at the rear of the truck without hacking into the factory light wiring.
Here's why the ModuLite HD part matters. A basic wire tap pulls the extra trailer lighting load straight through your Traverse's existing circuits, and that's how you pop a fuse or fry a factory light module. The ModuLite HD carries that load on its own and adds circuit protection between the trailer and the truck. So when a trailer bulb shorts out or a connector gets wet, the module takes the hit, not your vehicle's wiring. That's the whole point of the circuit protected name.
The output is a standard 4-way flat connector, which is what most light-duty trailers use. It runs your tail lights, brake lights, and left and right turn signals. That covers boat trailers, small cargo and utility trailers, and most bike and cargo racks that need lighting. Just know it handles lighting, not trailer brakes, so if you're towing something heavy that needs a brake controller, that's a separate piece of gear. If your trailer already has a 4-way flat plug, this gets you towing without an adapter.
Installation is straightforward because this is built specifically for the 13-14 Traverse. You're replacing the OEM tow wiring rather than splicing a universal kit into random wires, so the connections are made to fit. Plan on running the harness to the rear and mounting the module in a dry, protected spot. And if you're not sure whether your Traverse already has a tow package, check for an existing connector at the hitch before you order. This is the Tekonsha replacement for that factory setup, not a universal fits-everything kit.

Frequently asked questions
Which vehicle does the Tekonsha 118270 fit?
It's built specifically for the 2013-2014 Chevrolet Traverse as a replacement for the factory tow wiring. If your Traverse is in that year range, this is the matched harness.
What connector do I get?
A standard 4-way flat connector. That's the common plug for light-duty trailers, and it carries tail lights, brake lights, and both turn signals.
What does the circuit-protected ModuLite HD module do?
It carries the trailer lighting load on its own and adds circuit protection between the trailer and your Traverse. If a trailer bulb shorts or a connector gets wet, the module takes the hit instead of your vehicle's wiring.
Will this run my trailer's electric brakes?
No. This harness handles trailer lighting only. If you're towing something heavy enough to need electric brakes, you'll want a separate brake controller.
Is this a genuine Tekonsha part?
Yes. It's Tekonsha part number 118270, and we're an authorized Tekonsha reseller, so it carries the full manufacturer warranty.
Do I need an adapter if my trailer already has a 4-way flat plug?
No. If your trailer wiring ends in a 4-way flat plug, it plugs right into this harness and you're ready to tow.
