{"product_id":"tekonsha-118849-t-one-connector-4-way-flat","title":"Tekonsha 118849 T-One Connector | 4-Way Flat","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Tekonsha T-One Connector is the plug-and-play way to wire your tow vehicle for a trailer. It taps into your factory harness with no cutting or splicing and gives you a clean 4-way flat connector. A built-in converter keeps the trailer lights isolated from your vehicle's electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tekonsha T-One Connector is about the simplest way to get a tow vehicle wired for a trailer. It's a vehicle-specific harness, so instead of cutting into your factory wiring and chasing down which wire does what, you find the connector the manufacturer already built into your truck or SUV, unplug it, and plug the T-One in between. That's the whole idea behind the T in the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the trailer side you get a standard 4-way flat connector. That covers your running lights, plus left and right turn and brake, everything most single-axle trailers need. If you're towing a boat trailer, a small utility trailer, or a pop-up, a 4-way flat is almost always the connector you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes the upgraded converter module, and that's the part worth understanding. Some vehicles combine the turn and brake signals on one circuit, and some have sensitive electronics that don't love having trailer lights hung directly off them. The converter reads the vehicle's signals and drives the trailer lights on their own protected circuits. Your factory bulbs and modules stay isolated. If the trailer wiring ever shorts out, the converter takes the hit instead of a fuse buried in your dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is genuinely plug-and-play. No splicing, no test light, no scotch-locks. Most folks have it done in the driveway with hand tools in well under an hour. The connectors are keyed, so you can't get them backwards. The trailer-side plug is molded and sealed, so it holds up to road spray and weather once it's mounted and you're not fighting corrosion a season later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to check before you order: the T-One is matched to specific vehicles by year, make, and model. This part number fits a particular set of applications, so confirm your vehicle before you buy. Not sure? Send us your year, make, and model and we'll tell you straight whether 118849 is the right harness for your rig.\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 design plugs into your factory tow harness, no cutting or splicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-way flat trailer connector powers running lights plus left and right turn and brake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpgraded converter module isolates trailer lighting from your vehicle's electrical system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated circuit protection guards your vehicle's wiring from a trailer short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeyed, plug-and-play connectors install in the driveway with basic hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by Tekonsha, an established name in trailer wiring and brake control\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 is a T-One connector?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a vehicle-specific trailer wiring harness.
