It plugs straight into the harness behind the taillights and adds a circuit-protected ModuLite HD module that draws power from the battery, so your trailer lights stay bright and the vehicle's electrical system stays protected. Clean 4-way flat output, ready for a trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGetting your Outlander ready to tow shouldn't mean splicing into factory wiring and hoping for the best. The Tekonsha 118844 T-One connector is built specifically for the job. It's a plug-and-play harness that snaps into the existing connectors behind your taillights, so there's no cutting, no crimping, and no guessing which wire does what. If you can reach the taillight harness, you can install this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this kit apart is the ModuLite HD module. Instead of tapping the vehicle's low-current taillight circuits to run your trailer, the module pulls power straight from the battery through its own feed. That keeps the load off your factory bulbs and lighting modules, which matters on a newer Outlander where the electrical system watches for faults. The module is circuit protected, so a shorted trailer connector or a bad ground on the trailer side won't send trouble back into the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output is a standard 4-way flat connector. That gives you four circuits: ground, running and tail lights, left turn and brake, and right turn and brake. It's the most common setup for smaller trailers, utility trailers, and lightweight boat trailers with basic lighting. The module also handles signal conversion, taking the vehicle's separate turn and brake signals and combining them into the format a 4-way flat trailer expects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTekonsha's been building towing electronics for a long time, and the T-One line is their answer to messy universal wiring kits. Everything's pre-terminated to match the Outlander's harness, so the connectors only go together one way. That's what makes it hard to get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the right pick if you're towing a small trailer and want a clean, permanent install that looks factory. It's not a 7-way and won't run trailer brakes or a 12-volt charge line on its own, so if you're pulling a heavy travel trailer that needs electric brakes, you'll want a different setup. For bikes, a small utility trailer, or a light boat trailer, though, this is about as straightforward as trailer wiring gets. Most folks have it in and tested in under half an hour with basic 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\u003eVehicle-specific T-One connector plugs into the Outlander's factory harness with no splicing or cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCircuit-protected ModuLite HD module isolates the vehicle's wiring from trailer faults and shorts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePowered converter draws current directly from the battery, not the taillight circuits, keeping factory bulbs and modules safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-way flat output covers ground, running and tail lights, left turn and brake, and right turn and brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConverts the vehicle's separate turn and brake signals into the combined format a 4-way flat trailer expects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-terminated plug-and-play connectors install in under 30 minutes 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 vehicle does the Tekonsha 118844 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a vehicle-specific T-One connector built for the Mitsubishi Outlander.
