No splicing, no guesswork. It runs your trailer's taillights, brake lights, and turn signals with power drawn straight from the battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you tow with a Volkswagen Atlas, this is about the cleanest way to get a trailer connector on the back of it. The Tekonsha 118832 combines a vehicle-specific T-One connector with the Circuit Protected ModuLite HD module, so you plug into the factory harness instead of cutting into it. No scotch-locks, no test light, no chasing wires under the dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it works. The T-One connector is built for the Atlas, so it mates directly to the plug already sitting behind your bumper or in the taillight harness. That plug feeds the ModuLite HD module, which is a powered converter. Instead of pulling trailer current through your vehicle's delicate factory circuits, it draws power straight from the battery and switches it based on the signals coming from the vehicle. Your factory wiring just tells the module what to do. It doesn't carry the trailer load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters because trailer lights, especially on a loaded utility or boat trailer, can pull more current than modern vehicle circuits want to see. The ModuLite HD keeps that load off the factory side and adds built-in circuit protection, so a short in a trailer harness or a corroded connector won't take out anything expensive on the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output is a standard 4-way flat, which covers running lights, both turn signals, and brake lights. That's everything a basic trailer needs. And because the ModuLite HD is a powered module, it handles both LED and incandescent trailer bulbs without the flicker or false readings you can get from a simple diode splice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward for a driveway job. You locate the factory tow plug, click in the T-One connector, mount the module somewhere dry, and ground it. Most folks are done in well under an hour. Just confirm the 118832 is the right part for your specific Atlas year before you order, since Tekonsha builds these connectors per platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood fit for anyone adding a small utility trailer, a jet ski or boat trailer, or a cargo hauler to their Atlas and who wants a factory-clean install that won't cause warranty headaches down the road.\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 plugs directly into the Volkswagen Atlas factory wiring, no splicing or cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircuit Protected ModuLite HD module draws trailer power from the battery, keeping the load off delicate factory circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 4-way flat output runs trailer running lights, brake lights, and both turn signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in circuit protection guards the module and your vehicle wiring against shorts and overloads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowered converter handles both LED and incandescent trailer bulbs without flicker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-in installation leaves the factory harness intact, most installs done in under an hour\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 vehicle is the 118832 made for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a vehicle-specific T-One connector for the Volkswagen Atlas.
