Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Chevrolet Equinox's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.

Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your Chevrolet Equinox, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.

It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Today on this 2010 Chevrolet Equinox we are going to install part number 56094 from Curt. This is their T-connector wiring kit. The first step involved, open up the rear hatch and we are going to have to get to the rear tail lights. Right now we are looking at the driver side tail light and what is going to happen is we are going to take off these two covers here and these have fasteners behind it to disconnect the tail lights. We are going to do this on both sides of the vehicle. Be careful when you pop these off, they can be kind of fragile. These will just pull off. Now to disconnect our tail light we are going to disconnect its junction point right here. Push down on this tab right here and it should come right apart. Now we are going to go over to the passenger side and do the exact same thing. 00:50

To start installing our T-connector harness we are just going to take our 4-pole and it behind the bumper cover and out the bottom. I have got two T-connectors here. The one with the yellow and brown wire is going to stay over here on the driver side. The green wire and the white ground wire is going to go below underneath the vehicle over to the passenger side. So we are going to take this part and it down through the tube. For the T-connector here for the driver side we are just going to push them together and leave it like that and this other half is going to plug back into the tail light. We can reinstall the tail light. It just snaps back into place, get the tail light back in. Put the caps back into place. Now lets go underneath the vehicle and route our wires across. 01:44

Now we are going to take our passenger side T-connector and our 4-pole and we are going to route it behind the bumper cover across to the other side of the vehicle. The 4-pole itself of course will stay by the hitch. We are just going to pull that through and leave it like that for now and continue on with our T-connector going across to the passenger side. Take the T-connector and just push it up as far as we can and reach from the top down and pull it out. If you can not push it up far enough to reach it to the top you can use a piece of wire and grab a piece of the wiring harness and just pull it on up. We have got the connector, just like the driver side we will just push it back together and then with our ground screw we will attach it to the sheet metal right here. We are going to use a self tapping screw to attach to the sheet metal. 02:57

Lets reattach the light just like we did on the other side. Lets go back underneath the vehicle and tie up our wires. We will start off by taping up our electrical bundle. Just make it nice and neat and go up as far as we can with it. We will slip on our little 4-pole cover right here, just pull over and pull the cover around the chain loop and we will leave it like that for now and we will bundle up the rest of our wires. There is a nice little hole in the sheet metal right here that we have got to attach our wire to. One on each side for that. It might be a good idea too to run the zip tie around the hitch itself to secure the wiring to the hitch. We will just trim off our excess and we will be good to go. All that remains now is to test the install with a light tester first and then we can try it on the trailer. Take the ground clamp and go to the ground on the 4-pole. We will start off by testing the running light circuit and turn on the headlights. Then we will try the left turn signal. Then we will try the right turn. Now we will do the brake signal which we should have constant green and yellow wires. That verifies that our wiring harness is working and then we can try it on the trailer. With that, that will finish our install of part number 56094 from Curt.

Expert Answers about Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 56094 Do you have a question about this Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring?

Does a T-Connector Trailer Harness Need to be Plugged into Vehicle ECU
Curt T-Connector harness part # 56094 does not need to be plugged into the computer of the vehicle. T-Connector style harnesses plug into the tail light wiring connectors with an additional wire that will need to be grounded to the vehicle body or chassis. Sometimes there is another wire that will need to be run to the battery.

Does the T-Connector Wiring Harness Violate the Warranty on 2010 Chevy Equinox
The T-Connector Wiring Harness for the 2010 Chevy Equinox, part # 56094, is very easy to install. You will simply plug it into the factory connectors behind your tail lights and you will be ready to tow. Installing a wiring harness will not interfere with your warranty. I would recommend two things. If you will be towing frequently, I suggest a mounting bracket like the 4 and 5-flat Trailer Connector Mounting Box, part # 18145, to keep your plug from dragging the ground. I also recommend some Di

Comparing Trailer Wiring Harnesses # 56094 and # 118494 for a 2011 Chevy Equinox
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # 56094, will fit your 2011 Chevy Equinox and will work to operate the trailer stop, turn, and tail lights. But, it does not have a circuit protected or powered converter to protect your vehicle wiring. If given the option, I will always recommend the circuit protected powered converter, # 118494, because it is designed to protect your vehicles sensitive wiring. What it does is virtually eliminate the extra power draw

Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, Circuit Protected vs Unprotected
We stock both the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118494, and the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 56094, because we have customers that request both styles. Many times customers do not want to run the extra wire to the vehicle battery, so they order the # 56094 harness. The Battery connection is the biggest advantage of the # 118494 harness for protecting the vehicle circuitry. I would use the circuit protected model, # 118494, because there is always a possibility of a short circuit

Does the Computer have to be Reset to Install a Curt Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2012 GMC Terrain
I went over the installation instructions and you will not have to have the computer reset when you install the Curt wiring harness, # 56094, on your 2012 GMC Terrain. If you are apprehensive about it, you could always disconnect the negative battery cable prior to installing the harness. You will use any programmed information, like stereo presets, but that is easy enough to reset.
