It plugs into your factory harness, no cutting, and its Circuit Protected ModuLite HD module pulls lighting power straight from the battery so your truck's electronics stay protected. You get a weatherproof 4-way flat hookup that looks factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you tow with the same truck or SUV year-round, the Tekonsha 118698 T-One connector is the tidy way to get a trailer plug on it. This is a vehicle-specific harness. It plugs straight into the factory tow connectors already tucked behind your bumper or in the wheel well, so there's no cutting into taillight wires and no splicing. Match the part number to your vehicle and it goes in like the factory meant it to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the kit is the Circuit Protected ModuLite HD module. Here's why that matters. A cheap wiring job taps your vehicle's taillight circuits directly, and the trailer's bulbs pull current right through your truck's electronics. The ModuLite converter doesn't do that. It draws the trailer's lighting power straight from the battery and uses the vehicle's signals only to switch the lights on and off. Your factory wiring stays isolated. On modern vehicles with sensitive body control modules, that isolation is the difference between a hookup that lasts and one that throws dash faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HD part is the circuit protection. If the trailer wiring shorts out, a road hazard, a pinched wire, a corroded connector, the module's self-resetting protection trips instead of frying anything. Clear the fault and it comes right back. It's a one-piece weatherproof module, so it shrugs off the spray and grime that lives under a bumper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut the back you get a standard 4-way flat connector. That's your ground, running lights, and left and right turn and brake signals. It's the right hookup for utility trailers, small boat trailers, and campers that run lights only, no electric brakes. If your trailer has electric brakes, you'll want a different setup with a dedicated brake output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to nail down before you order: fit. Tekonsha builds the 118-series T-One connectors for specific vehicles, and 118698 fits a particular set of year, make, and model combinations. Send us your vehicle details and we'll confirm this is the right part number for it. Get that right and the install is a ten-minute job with hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 4-way flat output for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircuit Protected ModuLite HD module draws trailer lighting power directly from the battery, keeping factory wiring isolated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-resetting circuit protection trips on a trailer short instead of damaging vehicle electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-One design plugs into factory tow connectors with no cutting or splicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-piece weatherproof module built for under-bumper spray and grime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific fit, verify part number 118698 against your year, make, and model\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 does the ModuLite HD module actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a powered converter.
