Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed within the jack storage compartment of your cargo area.
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.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Perfect fit for my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS w/ FWD. I had the hitch assembly installed at the trailer rental place. They wanted me to buy their wiring harness that they would have to cut and splice to my wiring in the rear. I instead bought this as a much better option that plugs right into my taillight assembly. Easy self-installation. I would definitely buy again and highly recommend it.
I consider myself an advanced electrician/mechanic but those skills were not necessary . Product installed very easily as per the instructions and video clips I found on their website . Works as designed...excellent product . 2011 Santa Fe . 6 cyl W/O factory tow package .
I purchased the Curt T-connector harness for our 2012 Hyundai Sante Fe. It arrived with the Curt hitch I ordered in excellent condition in a few days.
The wiring harness installed very easy and it is easily well hidden inside the vehicle when not in use (keeping it all clean and servicable).
The instructions are easy to follow but they are a little to general. there are numerous plastic fasteners keeping panels together that can be overlooked and cause cracking of interior panels. extreme care should be used when disconnecting panels from one another or removing them from the vehicle. I fished my wires but the printed directions say you should remove panels....risky.
All in all these products from Curt are very impressive and I'm glad these were my decision.

You have to open some space to do the job neatly, but it isnt hard as long as you move slowly and dont force anything. I store the connection in the left side of the floor box, and lay it out under the hatch to the tow hitch when I need it. The weather strip is flexible enough to seal around it with the hatch closed. Look the job over first and only open up what you must. Its scarier than it really is. Good luck, make it fun
I was very pleased with the electrical wiring for my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. It was very easy to install just followed the youtube video and it was a breeze. I feel relieved knowing that I didn't have to nip and cut any wires on my own. It was very secure and safe to install. One suggestion I would make would be to give the metal a cook sanding nothing to drastic, it works like a charm. I included a picture hopefully it helps out. I would definitely recommend getting this product.

Still going strong and have not had any issues at all.
I have to rate this as excellent at this time of installation. Everything was great with the wiring harness and the fittings were nice and tight and the connections were solid and true. How this will hold up over the long haul we will see.

The harness does not seem to be functioning correctly. I am having a problem with one of the tail lights on the trailer it will not light. I checked the ground and used the tester at the harness plug to be sure it was not the trailer and it is definitely the wiring on the car and it is the harness since there is no issue with the tail light on the car.
On year follow-up. Everything still working fine. As I said in my previous post, during the last year I have pulled a number of trailers without problems and the lighting package has worked flawlessly.
I have had my trailer hitch and wiring on my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and could not be happier. It works great, and came with excellent instructions to install both the hitch and the wiring. The wiring was pretty much plug and play and the entire install took less than 90 minutes which included retapping the holes for the bolts. Would definitely purchase again from e-trailer!
purchased a couple of weeks ago, and between the video and paper instructions, the installation was a breeze. total time start to finish was about 30 mins, and everything works perfect!
Hassle free with etrailers equipment.
I'm a happy camper!

After one year, wiring harness is fine! Still works perfect
This is the second Curt wiring harness I've purchased. The first was for a 2014 Nissan Altima. This one is for a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. These harnesses are so easy to install with the connectors. I have mine leading into my rear trunk box. Installation is around a half hour. No issues over the past year.
I orderd a receiver hitch for my 2012 Sante Fe along with the wiring harness. The price was better than I found anywhere else and the hitch and harness arrived on time just as promised. Kourtney, the sales rep., was very helpful as well as very knowledgeable. She even sent me a link to learn more about the proper drawbar that I needed. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend etrailer.
Had one of these installed along with a hitch. Worked great until a tail light wire came loose and shorted against the frame. Reinstalled the wire in the tail light and replace the fuse. The tail lights worked, but the turn and brake did not. Checked the output of the module and there was only voltage for the tail lights. Ordered a new module wiring assembly and it arrived 4 days before expected delivery date. Installed it yesterday and it was really easy. The supplied instructions are simple and easy to follow. Watch the installation video before starting or if you have any problems. A flat blade and number 2 phillips screwdrivers minimum are necessary to get the job done.
Check to see if your vehicle came equipped with a factory tow package before you order this. My 2010 4 cyl Santa Fe had the tow package and I didn't know or expect that it would. Tow package has a transmission cooler and a dedicated harness connection behind LR fender well.
Installation and quality is a 5 star. The only reason for the 4 star, which I struggle to give, is the wire harness must hang out the back door/trunk. The only bonus to that is, your harness does not corrode from the elements, but still slightly annoying to have it hanging out like a shirt tag.
I mentioned this on my review for the Santa Fe draw tite hitch. These are the best value for the money. Installs in less than 10 min and it never causes issues with the light system and doesn't cause any permanent damage to the wiring if you choose to revert back to stock and sell the vehicle without any problems! Well worth the money!
The hitch and wiring I ordered were a exactly what I needed. Your website was easy to work through as far as getting the right product needed and everything installed just as easy. Delivery was also within a reasonable time. Will order from etrailer.com again.
Great product!

Wiring harness went in very well. I don't like the fact that I have to hang the wires and connector over the trunk to use it but this is mostly a car design issue. Good product.
This was a great buy,it came with everything needed to wire car for the lights on the trailer,it was of great quality. This is a great company to buy from. I will buy from them again when needed.
Easy instsall, Not being familiar with body shop experience, had an issue with wiring and removing panels to get too the wiring harness too connect too, but got through that with a little extra time.
I have not installed yet. However, delivery was good. Everything was in the box as ordered. It appears that all parts needed for installation have been included. Instructions appear to be very easy and understandable (color photos). Videos on website are a life saver. Wonderful Experience. Great website for information, prices, and installation and ease of ordering. Existing picture on site reflects package.

As painless as a wiring harness can be! Make sure you have some body tools/panel gappers handy for the trim you have to remove so you don't marr up your interior.
The wiring harness went in easy and had everything I needed. I would defiantly purchase from your company again. Good product.
Works awesome as it should.
Great service, installed harness in 10 minutes perfect fit!
Besides usps delivering it 2 days late.
