Tekonsha 118605 T-One Connector, 2014 Jeep Cherokee
Tekonsha 118605 T-One Connector, 2014 Jeep Cherokee — Product description
The Tekonsha 118605 T-One Connector is a plug-in trailer wiring harness built specifically for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. It pairs a custom-fit T-One connector with an upgraded, circuit-protected ModuLite HD powered module, so trailer light loads stay off your vehicle's sensitive wiring. Plug it in, run the 4-way flat to the back, and you're ready to tow.
If you're rigging your 2014 Jeep Cherokee to pull a small trailer, this is the clean way to do it. The Tekonsha 118605 T-One Connector plugs straight into your Cherokee's factory wiring behind the taillight, so there's no cutting, no splicing, and no guessing at which wire does what. You plug it in, run the output to the back, and you've got a standard 4-way flat trailer connector ready to go.
What sets this one apart is the upgraded ModuLite HD module. It's a powered converter, which means it pulls current straight from your battery instead of leaning on the Cherokee's taillight circuit. That matters. Modern vehicles run sensitive lighting circuits and body control modules, and asking them to carry trailer light loads is how you end up chasing blown fuses or fault codes. The ModuLite HD keeps the trailer draw off the vehicle's delicate wiring and handles it on its own dedicated feed.
The HD module is also circuit protected. If a trailer bulb shorts out or you get a bad ground somewhere down the line, the protection built into the module steps in before the fault works its way back into your truck. It's the kind of thing you don't think about until the day it saves you a repair bill.
Installation is about as friendly as trailer wiring gets. Because it's a T-One connector cut for the 2014 Cherokee, the plugs match your factory harness connectors one-for-one. Most folks have it wired in with hand tools in under half an hour. No test light needed, no probing the harness. You're relying on Tekonsha's fitment work instead of your own splicing.
This is a great match for towing a utility trailer, a small boat trailer, a pair of bikes on a hitch rack, or anything else that runs standard 4-way flat lighting. If your trailer needs brake control or a 7-way, that's a different setup, but for basic tow lighting on a Cherokee, the 118605 does exactly what you want and does it cleanly.

Frequently asked questions
Does this fit my Jeep Cherokee?
The 118605 is a T-One connector cut specifically for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. It plugs into that model's factory wiring connectors, so it's a direct fit for that vehicle.
What is the ModuLite HD module and why does it matter?
It's a powered converter. Instead of pulling trailer light power through your Cherokee's taillight circuit, it draws current directly from the battery. That keeps the trailer load off your vehicle's sensitive lighting and body control wiring.
Do I need to cut or splice any wires?
No. Because it's a T-One connector, the plugs match your factory harness connectors one-for-one. You unplug the factory connectors, plug the T-One in between, and route the output to the rear.
What kind of trailer connector do I end up with?
A standard 4-way flat. That covers most utility trailers, small boat trailers, and hitch-mounted bike racks that run basic running, brake, and turn lighting.
What does circuit protected mean here?
The ModuLite HD has built-in protection. If a trailer bulb shorts or a ground goes bad, the module steps in before the fault reaches your vehicle's wiring.
Will this run trailer brakes?
No. This is a lighting connector for running, turn, and stop signals on a 4-way flat trailer. Electric trailer brakes need a brake controller and a heavier connector, which is a separate setup.
