This 118720 version gives you a 4-way flat connector as a replacement for an OEM-style harness. Clean trailer lighting, with built-in protection for your truck's electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen your tow vehicle didn't come with a factory tow package, wiring trailer lights straight into the vehicle's harness is asking for trouble. That's where the Tekonsha ModuLite HD comes in. It's the heavy-duty power module that takes the load off your vehicle's lighting circuits and runs your trailer lights off the battery instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the problem it solves. Trailer bulbs draw current. Splice them into a modern vehicle's wiring and you can overload circuits, trip bulb-out warnings, or in the worst case damage a body control module. The ModuLite HD sits between the two. It reads the low-current signal from your vehicle's lighting, then switches full battery power to the trailer through the 4-way flat connector. Your vehicle's electronics never see the extra draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in circuit protection is the other half of the story. If the trailer side shorts out, say a pinched wire or a corroded connector, the module protects itself and your vehicle instead of sending the fault back into the dash wiring. That's the HD difference. It's the tougher version of the standard ModuLite, made for people who tow regularly and want the wiring to just work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part, the 118720, is set up as a 4-way flat replacement for an OEM-style wiring harness. You get the standard 4-pole flat plug that fits most small utility trailers, boat trailers, and pop-up campers, the kind that run tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals with no separate brake circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic 12-volt work. You're tapping the vehicle's lighting signals, running a fused power lead to the battery, and grounding the module to clean bare metal. Take your time on the ground. That's where most trailer-light gremlins start. Once it's in, you get consistent trailer lighting that doesn't fight with your vehicle's computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's it for? Anyone towing a light trailer with a vehicle that didn't come tow-ready, or anyone replacing a tired factory harness that's gone flaky. If you've been chasing flickering trailer lights every spring, a circuit-protected module like this is usually the fix. We're an authorized Tekonsha dealer, so you're getting the real part with the full warranty behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircuit-protected ModuLite HD module isolates the trailer load from your vehicle, so lighting faults don't reach the tow vehicle's electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-way flat connector fits standard utility, boat, and pop-up trailers running tail, brake, and turn signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDraws trailer lighting power directly from the battery, keeping your vehicle's factory circuits from overloading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in circuit protection guards against shorts and overloads on the trailer side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet up as a 4-way flat replacement for an OEM-style wiring harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTekonsha ModuLite HD build, the heavy-duty version for boaters and haulers who tow often\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 runs your trailer lights off the vehicle battery instead of splicing them straight into your vehicle's wiring.
