2011 Toyota Camry - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • Powered Converter
  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Toyota Camry with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily
    • Locate connection points in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
    • Run hot lead to car battery
  • Includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
    • Powered module connects directly to battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system
  • Constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance
    • Maximizes trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat
    • Ensures superior operation in rough road conditions
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 3 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 6 amps per circuit
  • Limited 1-year warranty


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 you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.


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.


Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology

A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.


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.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

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.

GREAT! jUST LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO.

Trailer wiring it's a done in less than two hours without lifting the car. ( I have a couple phone calls on the time ) I'm so happy with video on YouTube and make me so easy to install the wiring.
I did not install the hitch yet but I think that's going to be more easier.
Thank you for a good product and fast shipping



by:

Items arrived well packaged and everything worked as expected. Installation instructions were very good.

Great fast service

Easy to install. Kit was complete. I drilled through my frame and hid the wire under my car.

2013 Toyota Venza

I purchased this trailer hitch and wiring harness with carrier basket with shipping in 10 days, had it in 3. Ordered the wrong wiring harness, called etrailer and they directed me to the right harness with an easy exchange. Installed hitch with help from my son, an easy installation. Installed tail/brake lights, basket folds up out of the way when not in use and I still have access to the SUV rear lift door. Like the way the 2" mount tube is bent to give you more ground clearance for basket.

The hitch has worked out well and the wiring harness was not to hard to install. I like the way the wiring harness stored in the cargo area and the hitch fits close up under the body.



by:
2011 Toyota Venza

Excellent purchase experience. Website is great. The installation videos were excellent and accurate. I did the hitch installation alone with the car on jackstands. Took about an hour. Everything fit perfectly. Great not to have to adjust anything. The wiring kit took about two hours to complete. About an hour to get everything in the back and about an hour to install the wire to the battery. Was able to put the car on a lift for the battery wire. That would not have easy on stands. Haven't towed with it yet, but expect that everything will work as it should.

I am pleased with the hitch and wiring harness. I recently used them to tow a U-haul trailer loaded with a motorcycle from Colorado to Arkansas. Both products worked flawlessly.



by:
2011 Toyota Venza

I used the etrailer online video to walk me through the installation of the above wiring harness on my 2011 Venza. The whole process was relatively staightforward since the video was specific to my vehicle and the instructor explained everything in minute detail. The local Toyota dealership wanted $150 to do this install, and I was able to zip tie the power wire under the chassis to reach the battery terminal without lifting the car. Mission accompished!

I like the fact that the trailer connection is stored inside the car by the spare tire. I see other connectors dangling loose outside of the car a lot.

Great service and products.

Delivery was quick even with it being just before Christmas, I had expected it to arrive after the Christmas break. I'll get to do the installation over the next couple of days, thanks for the speedy response. I had an old unit off my Lexus but found it had six pin connections at the splitter points near the lights so had to revert to ordering this four pin version. The old one was an easy install so I'm sure this one will go the same way, the Curt product are very good quality and fit as per their on line videos.

Great, no trouble on the install or since while using it.

Asked a neighbor for help and had the new hitch installed in less than 5 minutes. Too easy, outstanding fit, great look and fits my needs.

Wiring harness took about 1 hour and spent most of the time finding the right holes to fish the wiring harness through.

A good buy for a fair price.

Was an easy to install and still working great after 1 year.



by:

It worked. (I've only used it once.)

It
was easy to install and (if I remember correctly since it was a year ago) the directions were clear and I had no issues.

I had a trailer hitch for a platform attachment but no electrical connection. My daughter needed a few pieces of furniture picked up at various locations. I needed to rent a trailer and needed the light hook up so that is why I bought it.



by:
2013 Toyota Venza

I found myself in a place where the need for a pick-up or a trailer was in order, since i really like my 2013 Toyota venza i chose the later, after shopping on line i thought this looked to meet my needs i have the ability to tow 3500lbs with 500lb tongue weight, so the package showed up in 2 days and i was able to do the install in about 40 minutes , it was as easy as they said it would be, i did need help from my son with balancing the thing, but everything lined up perfectly, the electrical was another story, since you need to basically disassemble the entire rear interior of the vehicle to connect the wiring harness,(ford looks super simple)but the connections worked perfectly and the straps provided were plenty, and the whole thing after it was done looks high and tight, i like it.

Fast delivery, easy installation. Very good Youtube video with excellent instructions. Works as advertised.

The hitch is working great, the wiring is also working out very well.



by:

Wanted to be safe driving on I-95 so with bike on carrier the brake-turn signal lights were partially blocked. Fishing the wire from the trunk to the battery was a little tough on a creeper but it worked out. Everyone says how visible the lights are, so we feel safer.



by:
2015 Toyota Venza

My husband installed this for me. I know that the wire running to the battery is a pain, but I didn’t get any bad feedback from him. He is a gear head though so he knew what to do. I also know he watched the video first, so I recommend that as well. Very satisfied, especially since it would have cost me about $185 if I took it somewhere

Product is working great. I haven’t had any issues or concerns.



by:
2012 Chevrolet Volt

Install of both trailer hitch and wiring harness went very smoothly. Total install time for both items to me 1 hour 47 minutes and that included watching etrailer’s online video. The most time consuming part of the install was routing the 12 volt power wire from the spare tire compartment to the battery. Everything was well designed for a do it yourself person at home.



by:
2010 ToyotaCamry

Able to install this hitch by myself. Video did not show double exhaust and the total of 6 hangers involved, but pretty much everything else was as shown. Did not enjoy stringing the C56079 4-pin converter wire from the trunk to the battery up front under the hood; lots of crawling under the car with only the little bit of room provided by some stationary floor stands. But that too went as demonstrated and seems to work just fine. Got a great price and inmediate free delivery. Well done, guys.



by:
2013 Toyota Venza

Great service and products quality. Fast shipping too.



by:

Online instruction video very helpful. Hardest part for me was separating the existing taillight connectors. It takes strong fingers from an awkward position. Everything fit perfectly and works well. Very happy with this kit.



by:

This harness was easy to install and is robust enough for long term use.

Still going great, it survived a short circuit on my old trailer wiring without blowing the fuse. Still very happy with my purchase :-



by:
2015 Toyota Venza

Received my hitch and electrical wiring kit within 4 days of placing my order. I installed the hitch and wiring kit on my 2015 Toyota Venza in a couple of hours using the information and videos available from the website. Everything went together as advertised and I am very happy with the results.

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Venza
    I checked with Curt and the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56079 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Venza. For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # 13356. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2013 Toyota Venza
    Though you can not replace the module only on your wiring harness on your 2013 Toyota Venza, I do recommend replacing the harness with The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56079. This harness will plug 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. I attached an installation video link below.

  • Is an Aftermarket Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Different than an OEM Trailer Hitch and Harness
    You will often pay inflated prices at car dealers. There is really no difference between the trailer hitch and wiring harness that Toyota offers for your 2009 Toyota Venza than the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13356, and the Curt Trailer Wiring Harness, # C56079.

    I did not catch what vehicle you have nor what wiring harness you are using but if you are testing the turn signal wire going into the converter box and getting the correct intermittent signal but are receiving a constant signal leaving the converter box on the turn/brake signal wire then this points to signs of a faulty converter box.

  • Do Trim Panels have to be Removed to Install Trailer Wiring on a 2011 Toyota Camry
    The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56079 plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring so if you can access the connectors at the back of the tail lights without removing any panels then that is fine as long as it is installed correctly. I have linked the instructions for you. This harness also requires a direct connection to the vehicle battery to power the trailer lights. This is done so that the sensitive wiring on the vehicle is not overdrawn which could damage it. I have included...

  • Does a 2013 Toyota Venza Take the Same Trailer Wiring Harness as a 2009 Venza
    Yes, the 2013 and 2009 Toyota Venzas use the same trailer wiring harnesses so the one from your 2009 would work in your 2013. If you have the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56079 that you referenced this would work well on either vehicle.

  • Trailer Left Tail Light is Not Working After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness on 2013 Toyota Venza
    There is no difference. Harness # C56079 is the part number we give the harness to indicate it is a Curt product. The manufacturers number for the same part is 56079. You can test the 4-Way end of the harness to determine if the problem is with the harness or the trailer. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the pin that is right next to the one exposed pin. If you have power there, then the issue is on the trailer likely a bad ground. Ground problems normally show up when there...

I've linked an install video for the wiring harness for you to use as a reference. If you need a ball mount and hitch ball, the Curt Class III Ball Mount and 2" Hitch ball # C45036 can complete your towing package on your 2016 Venza.

  • Installation of Curt C56079 Trailer Taillight Wiring Converter on 2010 Toyota Venza
    Thank you very much! I'll pass that along to our video and install crew. The best way to make that wiring run from the rear of the vehicle up to the battery would be to locate and follow an existing wiring harness under the vehicle, and zip tie the taillight converter power wire to that every couple of feet. You'll want to be sure to avoid anything moving or hot like suspension or exhaust components. If you drive on gravel roads quite a bit, you might also consider a length of wire loom...

  • No Trailer Lights After Installing Curt Wiring Harness on 2011 Toyota Venza
    I'm guessing where you grounded the Curt # C56079 isn't sufficient. It could be grounded well enough to light up your test light, especially if it's an LED tester, but not enough for the actual trailer lights. I'd start by moving the ground location to something more secure than the exhaust like the vehicle frame. Making sure the location is clean and bare metal as well.

  • Is a Battery Connection Required when Installing a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2012 Toyota Venza
    The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56079 does require a direct connection to the vehicle battery. This is what will power the trailer lights. It is designed this way to protect the sensitive wiring on the vehicle from any shorts that could end up damaging the vehicle wiring and/or electrical components. The connection has to be made at the battery and not any other location because the harnesses have not been tested for use from an alternate power source. While there is power that runs...
