It's got a circuit-protected ModuLite module built in, so the trailer lights pull power from the battery instead of loading up your factory tail light circuit. No splicing, no cut wires, and a standard 4-way flat out the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tekonsha 118563 is a vehicle-specific T-One connector built for the Mazda CX-5, and it's the clean way to wire your CX-5 for a trailer. No splicing, no cutting, no chasing wires under the dash. The harness plugs straight into the tow connector already sitting behind the CX-5's tail lights, and the trailer side gives you a standard 4-way flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this one apart is the circuit-protected ModuLite module built into the harness. A basic converter just taps your tail light wires and runs the trailer lights off that same circuit. That works until the extra load trips a bulb-out warning or upsets a modern vehicle's electrical system. The ModuLite doesn't do that. It's a powered converter, so it pulls power for the trailer lights straight from the battery through a fused, circuit-protected line. Your CX-5's factory wiring only sees the signal, not the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a boat trailer, that matters. Trailer lights live a hard life, dunked at the ramp and salted on the road, and the current draw only climbs as bulbs and grounds corrode. The powered ModuLite keeps that draw off your vehicle's delicate circuits and protects both sides. If a trailer light shorts out, the built-in circuit protection takes the hit instead of your CX-5's electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is about as easy as trailer wiring gets. Find the factory tow connector behind the tail light, plug the T-One in, mount the module, and run the 4-flat to the back. Most folks have it done in under an hour with basic hand tools. You'll want to ground the module to clean bare metal and route the 4-flat so it isn't dragging on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to be clear on: this is the harness cut and terminated for the Mazda CX-5. It's not a universal kit. If you're towing with a different vehicle, tell us the year, make, and model and we'll point you to the right T-One for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific T-One connector for the Mazda CX-5, plugs into the factory tow connector with no splicing or cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircuit-protected ModuLite powered module isolates the trailer load from your vehicle's wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDraws trailer-light power directly from the battery through a fused line, not the tail light circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 4-way flat trailer connector output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in circuit protection guards the vehicle electronics if a trailer light shorts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play install, typically under an hour with basic hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Tekonsha reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is a T-One connector?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a vehicle-specific trailer wiring harness.
